Lovesick: A Billionaire Best Friends Brother Secret Baby Romance
He was a billionaire bad boy, my best friends brother, and I was hopelessly in love. When I saw him again at her wedding, he looked at me like I was a woman.
I gave him my virginity, and it was worth the wait, it was electric though I knew this was nothing but a dream.
His father called me a whore and paid me to leave.
He was engaged to another beautiful woman. I was heartbroken and lovesick. I thought I would never recover from losing my true love.
But I was not lovesick, I had a secret, I was pregnant with his baby.
He could never know the truth because I refused to be the gold digger they said I was.
The first moment I saw her, I wanted her.
When she turned out to be the girl I used to know, I craved her even more.
One night with her made me addicted to her love, but I'd lost her.
When I found her again, she was with another man.
I had never been denied what I wanted and I wanted her!
Her boyfriend wouldn't, my father couldn't, even she wouldn't get in the way of making her mine!

(audiobook) It was kind of nice, although I was expecting something better. I still enjoyed it.
My major problem was the narrator. I thought the reading was dull and monotonous. I didn’t quite get the differences between the characters, nor the various emotions the characters expressed. Since I have the ebook too, I’ll try to read it myself and see if it’s better this way.
It’s a short read, and I felt the story was rushed. The main elements were there--the meet-again, the one-night, the seduction...--but I like when you see in-between stuff. It gives depth to the characters, they aren’t there only to bring the story to its conclusion.
Let’s say there’s potential here for a great story. Ben is an interesting character, and I want to know more about the gay fiancee.

How to Cure Lovesickness
Today, as a bridesmaid at her best friend Izzy Oldham’s destination wedding, Brooke Snow is an enchanting, green-eyed voluptuous siren with hair that looks like spun moonbeams, but only a few years earlier she was known by the “mean girls” in her community as “Snowball”—a sarcastic homage to her name, her hair color and her body’s response to her over-indulgence in her mother’s delicious and comforting food. As the cook in Izzy’s affluent parents’ home, Brooke’s mom and Brooke shared the same address as the Oldham’s but they did not share the luxurious accommodations. Her mom was not the “lady of the house,” and it was very clear that while her mom might be the queen of the kitchen, she was the “hired help.”
But social distance did not separate Izzy and Brooke—they were best friends. And despite her parents’ on-going disapproval of the relationship, it was impossible to convince Izzy to distance herself from “the help’s” daughter, Brooke. And, their true friendship continued to the present day and Izzy’s wedding. And so, the bride, the daughter internationally recognized hoteliers for the rich and famous, had as her attendant for her wedding her best friend, Izzy, the cook’s daughter.
And just as Brooke returned the sisterly love for her best friend, she also loved her best friend’s older brother, Ben, but not as a sister. To Brooke, Ben, an ebony-haired, grey-eyed walking advertisement for GQ was her secret dream love. And, in all the years of her association with the Oldham’s, Brooke believed that she had hidden her crush on Ben—even from Izzy. And, because over the years, Brooke had developed no overwhelming passion for any man other than Ben,. And so, even in her 20’s, Izzy is still a virgin.
But Izzy has other plans for her best friend and her brother. As the bride, Izzy has decided who escorts whom, so of course, Izzy’s greatest wish for her best friend, Brooke, is to make Brooke a member of her family. Her belief is that if best friend Brooke and older brother Ben were to be forced by the requirements of the wedding to be together, then maybe, finally, Ben would recognize how perfect Brooke would be for him—much better than the friend of the family, Bette Durning, whom her parents favor as a potential daughter-in-law.
But even if Izzy’s best laid plans work, Benjamin Oldham Sr. has had enough of Brooke Snow. And, no matter how valuable her mother is as the family cook—she and her daughter are not suitable as members of the Oldham family. And so, father Oldham will watch and wait, and he is willing to pay to get rid of anything or anybody who stands in the way of his plans for his heir.
LA Pepper continues her powerful and engaging storytelling in Lovesick. She weaves a passionate and sensuous tale of love and discovery that are filled with unexpected twists, turns and tunnels around Brooke and Ben. This romance is a reading adventure well worth the reader’s attention.

Lovesick: A Billionaire best friends brother secret baby romance. A quick read told from dual POV. It's contains no cheating and ends with a happily-ever-after. The story was beautifully written with well developed characters and great supporting characters that helps it flows seamlessly. It was intriguing and swoon worthy. It's part of the Billion Scandal series but can be read as a standalone even though they're interconnecting characters from other series. This is Brooke and Ben story. Brooke knew Ben since was younger and in middle school. He's a billionaire and her mom his family cook.
Ben has a sister name Izzy who Brooke became best friend with. Izzy thought of Brooke as her sister and wanted her to be her sister. Brooke had a crush on Ben since she were twelve years old. Fast forward ten years and Izzy is getting married and she set it up that her brother and Brooke walk down the isle. Izzy dad doesn't like that because although he loves Brooke's mom he doesn't think she's good enough for his son and believes she's a gold digger and he already plans for him. Ben and Brooke spend the night together, Brooke finally got what she wanted for years. But dad saw her coming from his room. But his father paid her off to leave town. Ben was lovesick after she left abruptly and Brooke also discovered that so was pregnant and carrying his child.
He later realized that Brooke was much more suited for him than family friend that his dad chose.

More from the random freebies shelf: this novella is the story of Brooke and Ben who used to know each other as children. She is the daughter of the cook of Ben's rich family so they don't really move in the same circles. She is friends with Ben's sister, however, and they meet at the sister's wedding. Ben has a fake relationship with a gay woman who is not out. He sees Brooke and falls in instant lust. She has had a secret crush on her since forever. They have unprotected sex. His father interferes in a nasty manner, and the rest of the book is Ben trying to get together with Brooke.
It was okay but not great. There are some minor editing issues and characterwise, Ben does everything wrong here, from not telling her the truth about the beard relationship to deflowering a virgin without a condom. Later he sets spies on her and finds out where she works and who she lives with but somehow he is unable to find out her address until his sister gives it to him. When she finds out she's pregnant she starts dressing in a flannel and old sweats because none of her other clothes fit anymore although we later find out that her baby swell is yet tiny and hard to observe.
The chapters are dual POV but not clearly marked. I went in with the assumption that every other chapter would be her and every other chapter would be him and it worked.

Brooke has been in love with Ben since they were children. He teased her like young kids do, but he didn't have the same feelings that she did...or so she thought. Ben's sister, and Brooke's best friend, Izzy. She is getting married and Ben and Brooke are both home for the wedding. At first, Ben doesn't recognize her because she's changed so much. She was always concerned about her weight, but it's certainly not an issue in Ben's eyes. He is smitten and wants to spend more time, having a chance to reconnect. And that they do! After a wonderful night of passion, things change when Ben's father accuses her of being a gold digger scheming to trap him since she was 12. She gets out of there as quickly as she can, never giving a reason nor telling anybody. Misunderstandings keep them apart and once they do have a chance to talk, the misunderstandings are still there. Unless they start to communicate better, their friendship is going to remain just that...friends. It's a delightful story that includes a nice surprise! The narration by Natalie May is clear, concise and it's easy to tell the characters apart. Her voice is well modulated and pleasing.

Your love tastes better than wine
This book is about Brooke and Ben. Her best friend Izzy is his sister and is getting married. Brooke’s been in love with Ben for years, but has never said anything. They come from very different worlds, and not everybody would approve. At the wedding, Izzy pairs up Brooke and Ben in the bridal party, unbeknownst to both of them. He can’t keep his eyes off of her, but he doesn’t recognise her. So she takes a bit of a gamble that works well for her, and him… until things fall apart thanks to his obnoxious father.
This was a great story of longing, sweet memories, cruel taunts, passion, humour, frustration, miscommunication, friendships, lots of drinking, and wonderful steam! The characters were wonderful, and the struggles and triumphs were realistic, making everything so likeable. However, I was disappointed at where the story finished. I was really just hoping for more. But I do give this book four soulful stars.

This story of forbidden love has it all: intrigue, laughter, sadness, struggles and a few misunderstandings along the way that keep our lovebirds apart for so long...
I loved it.
Brooke and Ben are perfect for each other, Bette is a bit of a b**ch and Diego is the fierce best friend who would do anything for Brooke. We should all have a Diego in our lives.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for a honest review.
The history behind Brooke and Ben was sweetly told. Ben came across as a caring young man looking out for young Brooke. Her feelings were on her sleeve even then.
Fast forward to adults, she was still loving him. Ben sees the hot Brooke, not recognizing her and must have her. I got as frustrated as the couple when misunderstandings complicate their future. His feelings compound finding out who she is. His angst abounds as he struggles to get her to see his love for her. When they do get the chance to be with the other, their passion is fiery.
This quick read is a standalone but part of A Billion Scandals series. The other characters from the series are apart of this story too. I like reading about the others to get a fuller view of their personality. We do get a happily ever after with no cliffhanger.

I cannot get enough of Ms Pepper’s writing. Everyone of her books has grabbed me from the start, her storylines are so unique and beautifully written and I was emotionally involved from the happenings in the book, it made me grab a tissue. I was so intrigued by Brooke and Ben I could not put the book down. Brooke was the cook’s daughter and Ben is a rich playboy expected to marry well to increase the family wealth. Also, Brooke is Ben’s sister’s best friend and has been in love with Ben for a long time. I do not want to ruin the story for you as I strongly recommend reading this truly amazing story. I know you will enjoy it as much as I have. The writing is truly beautifully done.

Ben and Brooke had me all caught up in their story. She has had a thing for Ben since she was a little girl, but he only saw her as a friend to his little sister that is until Izzy's wedding. Ben was drawn to Brooke because she was down to earth with no pretenses. They had one intimate night where his father proceeded to call her a gold digger followed by paying her off and sending her home with a final dig that he was marrying someone else. They reconnect in New York where he tells her the truth, but Betty is still skeptical. Has Ben's father ruined his chances to be with Brooke? I found myself connecting with Brooke and cheering her on to finding happiness!

This book is about Brooke, who had had a crush on the brother of her best friend since childhood. Ben had always stood up for her against the bullies. Now, she was seeing him for the first time since they had grown up and the crush was alive and well. Of course, he was oblivious.
I would have enjoyed this book much more had it not been for some grammatical errors, such as change of POV mid sentence. The story was sweet and entertaining. I will be looking forward to reading more from Ms. Pepper, who is a new to me author.

Brooke has had a crush on her best friend's brother, Ben since they were kids. While helping her BFF Izzy at her wedding she runs into Ben who didn't quite recognize her as she has changed so much. He's smitten and happy to see it was Brooke and makes his move. They spend a night together but all does not end the way they both hoped as Ben's father accuses her of scheming and trying to trap Ben. Of course she tells no one and leaves. Lots of misunderstandings and not communicating is keeping them apart. Can they get past it all, or will secrets keep them apart?

After the wedding, Ben goes to talk to the woman he is drawn to when he finds out it is Brooke. She talks Ben into taking her to his room where he finds out Brooke has been waiting for him.

Brooke e Ben si conosco fin da piccoli. Lei è la migliore amica della sorella di lui. Ma una sera, al matrimonio della sorella hanno una notte di passione che finisce con il padre di lui che la paga per sparire.
Passa un mese e lei scopre di essere incinta. Si rivedono e bammmm si vengono a scoprire un paio di segretari.
EHM non la miglior novella che abbia letto ma dopo tutto dalla trama non mi aspettavo chissà che.
I personaggi secondari non sono un granché e non aggiungono nulla alla "trama" inesistente.
Non mi ha di sicuro trasportato al paese delle favole. Mi ha fatta passare mezz'oretta tranquilla e ho letto. Punto. Nulla di più.
Il migliore amico e la sorella sono simpatici ma neeeee...
Non so se consigliarlo. Neanche per passare il tempo. C'è di meglio... ma anche di peggio. Ecco.

Ben's father sends her away before he even wakes up, but Ben can't stop thinking about her. When Ben sees her again in New York and sees that she has someone named Diego with her, but he decides that he's going to fight for her. One day Brook finds out she's pregnant but she doesn't want to tell Ben cause then his father would think that he was right.

I believe this was LA Pepper's debut novel, and having read her most recent completed series, I can see how much she's grown as an author.
The story was nice - a little unrequited love, romance, tension, anger and misunderstandings which are very LA Pepper - but it lacked her more recent finesse with dialogue, beats, and overall story-writing.
It's a great little story that I'd love Ms Pepper to re-edit and add the depth of character she's written in the past twelve months. (Just my two cents... 😉)

This story caught me by surprise. It seemed a whirlwind and I was enjoying Brooke and Ben’s story yet something was missing. Because their book was so short, I didn’t get to know the characters as well. Ben was caring and in love with Brooke, and it was so sweet and romantic as he tried to woo her. Brooke put up a great battle however, and through several misunderstandings, they finally found their HEA.
Sweet story but would have liked to have known more of the characters in depth, yet is worth reading this short romantic story.

Lovesick is this sweet and beautifully written story. It has wonderfully developed characters with fantastic personalities. Brooke and Ben have amazing chemistry with some drama throughout the story. At times I didn’t like Brooke's attitude but she grew as the story progressed. It is a quick read but still very good.

I recd this as an ARC book in return for my honest review. This was a good book to read. The characters were likable most of the time. Sometimes Brooke could have a little attitude about things but for the most part was a good person. I would recommend this book and I will read more books by this author.

I thought this book was a nice, quick story. I just read the description (after listening) and I think it gives most of the storyline away. It seems to tell just the story of the beginning of the relationship.
I listened to the Audible version. Natalie May has a pleasant voice. There are occasional mispronunciations (at least in American English).

You can't get a better Cinderella story than this one.
I read this book a while back and enjoyed it then, I enjoy it still. If you like a good Cinderella story this is what you want to read. This is the kind of book that makes you want to put it in a special place so you can reread it over and over again.

You gotta love a book that makes you laugh and emotional pissed at certain people in the book. Brook always loved Ben, but one special night went so wrong it that ruined their relationship. A huge surprise is in store! Will the truth come out? I love L.A. Pepper books!

While it was a little slow to get into, I was soon immersed into the story, which held my interest and my emotions. We are introduced to a multitude of characters from the past and the present. Can the love interests get out of their own way to find their HEA? Gotta get the book to find out! Sorry no spoilers.
