Best Friends Never Kiss #2

Unnecessary Roughness

Rate this book
Rooming with three ripped football titans in an old fraternity house is cozy enough. But when they make a thrilling offer to broaden my horizons after a terrible breakup? There's no limit to the favors I'm willing to return.

He was my first friend on campus, my first crush, my first college kiss. But Dalton is also the shredded star quarterback of West Texas A&M. After being thrown out by my ex, he's more than willing to put me up... if I don't mind sharing space with his two equally gorgeous teammates, working on the decades-old Delta Tau renovation.

We had a sizzling, one-time hookup back in freshman year, but I stuck him straight in the friend zone for fear of being nailed down. Three years and one miserable relationship later, I've missed out on life, on love, on my entire college experience...

And the boys are more than willing to help me make up for lost time.

Emerson is A&M's ripped, beautiful tight end, in more ways than one, with jaw-dropping good looks and rock star swagger. His forest-green eyes alone are enough to make me melt... even if he wasn't sneaking into my shower each morning, to share the hot water.

Trey is a sandy-haired linesman and gentle giant; six-foot-seven, with an eternal 5 o'clock shadow. He's a hard-hitting cowboy with a body built for two things, only one of them being football.

And then there's Dalton; my best friend, my protector, and now my smoldering hot guide. It's hard not to love the all-American campus hero, especially when he and his friends are hellbent on sharing me... in every possible way.

Can this team of musclebound football gods reach the playoffs, and beyond? Or will the inevitability of falling in love interfere with our hopes, our dreams, and our future?

BEST FRIENDS NEVER KISS - UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS is a stand-alone, why choose reverse harem football romance. It's filled with fun, excitement, the witty banter of friends to lovers, and more than enough heat to turn your kindle into a pile of molten slag. HEA guaranteed.

Krista knows how to write all the feels and this RH is a gem. I am a huge fan of Krista and she is a queen!

Living a like with a man who does not appreciate who I am for three years was my mistake and now I am going to do something about it. Standing in the rain with a few bags, Fallons life was a mess as she knocked on the door. Only to find out it is where her best friend is living along with this other two friends. Dalton welcomes Fallon in with open arms.

This story is about self awareness and finding out what you really want in life. Of course there are a few road blocks to the final HEA but it was well worth it in the end. Steamy as always and great character building. Don’t miss out on this great read.

This was a spicy and hot read, with loads of chemistry. These characters were amazing, they are all different and work really well together. I read in one sitting and didn't want to put it down. This is a feel good read with no drama, and lots of love scenes, might want to skip if that isn't your jam. I loved it. Good read, I really enjoy this author and her books!!.

Fallon is a student who has spent the last 3 years in a relationship with her extremely controlling boyfriend Blaine. Unexpectedly dumped when he finds a new girlfriend to control, Fallon realizes that she has barely experienced any fun while in college and is now starting her final year. Blaine's reasoning for dumping her is that she's boring and their sex life is "vanilla". She's now out to prove him wrong.

After fleeing the home she shares with Blaine, Fallon runs into her best friend Dalton, the school's star quarterback, and his foster brother Emerson, one of his football teammates. They allow Fallon to move in with them until she figures out her living situation. The two brothers, as well as their offensive lineman best friend Trey, all live together in a condemned fraternity house they are fixing up for the university.

Having missed out on the wild partying that often accompanies attending college, Fallon proposes a "roommates with benefits" situation. All the fun with no expectation of anyone developing feelings for the other. But as the weeks and months progress in this type of relationship, will any of the foursome be able to keep this promise?

"Best Friends Never Kiss" is full of blazing hot chemistry, experimentation, and light hearted comradery between best friends. The characters are all extremely likable and well developed. Sexy times abound from start to finish, yet thankfully there is a solid plot to tie the story together. This book is the perfect read for long, hot summer days.

A young adult (college) reverse harem with a strong connection between Fallon, Dalton, Emerson and Trey. The characters have been longtime friends and when Fallon asks her friend and now roommate for a sexual favor things get downright dirty.

The book has some storyline to go along with the copious amounts of steamy scenes of 2, 3 or all 4 characters involved, but no MM interaction. There is family drama for several of the characters, a sanctimonious ex-boyfriend, and concern for the future of their 4-person relationship once Dalton gets drafted. These characters have a tight relationship with minimal to no jealousy and a one-for- all attitude.

Readers will need to suspend reality a little with some of the storyline elements and just go with it.

I absolutely loved this story and how Fallon found her happiness with her three men, Dalton, who she had a one night, stand with back in her first year of college, I enjoyed reading about their friendship that they maintained throughout college until the last year where he and his two best friends, Emerson and Trey, came to the rescue of Fallon when she broke up with her ex-boyfriend. I liked how the story progressed as them just being friends and helping Fallon to get back on her feet again, and the support that they were to each other in all that they did. When Dalton was drafted to the NFL, they all supported him by moving to where he was going to be in Colorado and progress with their lives together.

This was a wonderful book - I spent the majority of it with a smile on my face.

The relationship between friends grew and expanded. It may have started out on a whim to get herself back but it developed into something none of them could have predicted. A second chance to realize what you truly have and want.

The characters are each unique and offer a different element to the friendship and relationship. They truly care about each other and wish only the best for the other. The best books show growth, not only in the romantic relationship but also in the individual character's personal development.

This book has that. Plus it has steam, humor, and the warmth of found family.

Enjoy the bonus story also.

Some College Sports, Some Steamy Hot Encounters…

Fallon just got kicked out of her home by her (now ex-) boyfriend, and she needs a place to land. When that place is mistakenly her best campus buddy and football quarterback/captain Dalton’s front porch, with teammates and roommates Trey and Emerson there to help as well, things are looking up. This story brings the steamy steam of college seniors looking to fill a sexual bucket list and the anticipatory excitement of collegiate sports, throws in some deep friendships and family dramas, and brings it home for the win. I loved these four - they were sooooo good together, so beautiful, that this story just left me feeling happy. A wonderful pick-me-up (and steam-me-up ;) ) read.

Friends to Hot Lovers

When Fallon is dumped by her 3-year boyfriend on her college senior year, she somehow ends up at the house of her best friend Dalton, the college's football team star quarterback, she ends up crashing at his house with his 2 best friends and fellow football team mates.
Quickly there's a connection between the 3 of them and the rest is history!!!
It's a well written story, fast paced, with emotions running high, unexpected but welcomed feelings, fighting fears, the plot is genial and you can imagine how much of a wonderful story/book it is considering that I read it in less than 24 hours!!!
Needless to say that I LOVED it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is no not my first read from Mrs. Wolf, but I must admit it is by far my favourite book...

She's running from a bad break up, looking for one old friend, and ends up running into another old friend.
This one was one she shouldn't of put in the friend zone in the first place.
Eventually she gets around to realising that and goes after what she wants.
But what she gets is a whole lot more!
She gets a future,if she can get over her nerves, and these three guys aren't going to back down when they get started.
Luckily for her.
A slow burn to hot hot hot RH that keeps your blood pumping.
I loved it.

I’m pretty sure I��ve read every story Krista has ever written, but I think this may have been the hottest one yet.
I loved the way the guys were written. Such dedication to the friendship, absolute dedication to Fallon, hard working, absolutely adorable, and just everything.
When Fallon needed her best friend the most, Dalton, Emerson and Trey were there for her no questions asked.
When she came out of her shell, she came out full force. The love and support she gave the guys made their family complete.
I love why choose and this has been one of the best yet!.

Great story. Fallon was thrown out by her ex when she ends up staying with her best friend Dalton and his roommates Trey and Emerson. She thinks she has missed the best time of her life and asks Dalton to arrange a threesome. It turns out to be the three roommates and her. It turns out the four of them have chemistry that has them having emotions for each other. This was good story of multi partners who want what is not normal. I enjoyed reading the book.

This is another great read by this author, and again, she's given us fab characters to root for and some really hot chemistry to go with ;P I love that Fallon decided to make a change for her life and it brought her back into the sphere of her friend, Dalton, and, subsequently, his two roomies, Emerson and Trey. They had such hot chemistry together and I love how their RH romance unfolded. There definitely was drama and judgement, but I love that she got to be the centre of their attention, and their love. This a one-sit read for me ;D

Wowsa this book is absolutely fantastic and will definitely have you enthralled from the beginning until the end and needing a cold shower. The storyline flowed throughout the book. It's such a great story with Dalton Tray,Emerson all three best friends and more like brothers but when Dalton sees Fallion at his house will he be able to keep his feelings stuffed away? When his friends show interest in her too can they make this work for them all?Great story, smoking hot sex scenes and so much more.

Great story.

Loved this story & I felt so sorry for Fallon when her ex kicked her out of their home moving his new girlfriend in leaving her with nowhere to go.
She finds herself at an unexpected friends house Dalton which he shares with his two best friends & offers for her to stay with them.
It turns out that her ex kicking her out was the best thing that ever happened to her & her 3 new housemates.
There is a LOT of steamy, fun, sass but also a sweet love story that see you reading this with a smile on your face & a bit flushed sometimes.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA... No.

Yea, I don't really want to even talk about this other than to say.. NOPE.

In all fairness, this was not the worst book that I've ever read. So it has that going for it. Just overall though? No. Honestly at 22% when I wanted to DNF, I should've listened and done that. But then I got stuck in a situation where I just had to finish because it's like watching a train wreck happen right before your eyes and you just can't look away.

This is also my second time giving this author a chance and I think she's just not for me. Which is ok!

Loved this book. Dalton, trey and Emerson are all friends and play football together but one thing they never thought about doing was being with the same woman until Fallon came into their lives. Fallon never thought she would see Dalton again but she needs help but she also gets trey and Emerson in in deal. Will they find love?.

This is a really entertaining fun page-turning sizzling college sports RH romance. There is a lot of chemistry tons of heat and steamy goodness between the wonderful characters. All of the characters have their own unique personalities and they all work together very well. I definitely recommend reading this steamy sports RH romance.

Steamy, sweet, low angst

This was a fun, easy read. There was a plot and it was enjoyable but there was a LOT of steam. It didn't become repetitive, it was just a lot of fun.
This gave me sweet feelings, very low angst. Really good read if you just finished an emotionally charged book and need a break.

A decent read

A decent enough read, I liked the premise and the characters but it did just feel a bit 'samey' in places.

I enjoyed Fallon, Dalton, Emerson and Trey’s story. Dalton was her first friend on campus, her first crush, and first college kiss. But Dalton is also the shredded star quarterback of West Texas A&M. After being thrown out by her ex, he's more than willing to put her up... It was a fun and entertaining read. And am voluntarily leaving this review.

I liked it. It was cute as simple, somewhat predictable, but an easy breezy read.
I do feel like Krista recycles and uses a lot of her materials in her books. Especially all of the sex scenes and what the leading ladies talk about regarding their partners.
But other than that, it was enjoyable
