No More Talking

It’s all…or nothing.

Zac Moreland knew he shouldn’t act on the sizzling attraction between him and his best friend’s little sister. But act he did, and he can’t forget that one night he let the heat between them burn.

Now, after months of doing everything in his power to avoid a repeat performance, he’s ready to admit defeat—and ready to go up in flames all over again.

Freddie never understood why Zac gave her the hottest night of her life and then the cold shoulder. But what she does know is that her eyes are wide open when it comes to Zac, and he better understand that this time she isn’t settling for anything less than everything.

Warning: Two people learning to be more than friends and a big brother ready to spillblood.

Wow! Zac and Freddie set the pages on fire from the very start! I knew something was up with Zac and his best friend's little sister at the end of RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT but never would've suspected them both to be so deliciously dirty! Rhian Cahill just doesn't disappoint. I loved this first book of yet another spin-off from the Party Games series. It was all I expected it to be and more. I wish it would have gone on longer though as I didn't get nearly enough time with this lovely couple and their love story.

My favorite genre is brother's best friend/little sister. This story was too short for my personal tastes--3.5 stars

No More Talking was a fast read that combined just the right amount of sweet romance and spicy sex that has secured it a spot on my reread list. Zac is best friends with Freddie’s brother and has known her since they were children. But when she turned 25, he stopped seeing her as West’s little sister and started seeing her as the sexy woman he had to force himself to keep his hands off of… until one night he didn’t. While he has managed to avoid Freddie in the six months since that night, he hasn’t forgotten a single second of their encounter. Being best man at West’s wedding puts her directly in his sights and Zac decides he doesn’t want to deny himself any longer. However, after ignoring her for six months, it might not be that simple.

What I liked about this novella was that their built-in history allowed Freddie and Zac to move forward without it feeling rushed. In their case, this meant some smoking hot sex almost immediately and they did not let up. Boy howdy! Zac seemed intent on making up for the six months he avoided Freddie and she (and I) were quite happy with that – two words for you: Shower Sex!!! Of course, West finding out about his little sister and Zac made for two wonderfully entertaining scenes, although I’m sure Zac would disagree with my assessment. Despite the plentiful amounts of sex, No More Talking is a romance and it was up to Zac to decide just how far he wanted to take his relationship with Freddie. I was just glad that when he FINALLY decided he was all in, Freddie made Zac work for it for a bit – she didn’t just forgive and forget him walking away from her not once, but twice. Ultimately Freddie knew what she wanted, but she refused to be a pushover and that bodes well for their future. As the next book in the series is about Zac’s brother, I do hope that Ms. Cahill gives us a chance to see how life is progressing for Zac and Freddie. Until then, I’ll keep No More Talking in the queue for when I’m in need of a quick and steamy read.

I don’t usually care for the “second chance” or “best friend’s little sister” tropes so I was rather surprised when I started reading this that I had even chosen to. Guess I was in a strange mood that day. So bear with me please.

This was actually a nice little read. Nothing terribly complicated. But there was that “best friend’s little sister” thing going on. I personally think that is just so silly. I mean really, if this little pain in the back side suddenly becomes a gorgeous young woman, well fantastic. The guy has already seen her at her worst and has fallen for her anyway. I would think that would be a plus. Just my humble opinion.

Granted, this little sister did have some issues as a teenager that caused her brother and his friends to be even more overbearing and overprotective than some, but she is 25 now and has overcome those teenage issues. She has not just one, but two college degrees and runs her own successful business. So big brother really needs to back it off. She has more than proven she can now take care of herself and make good decisions all on her own.

As for the best friend. He needs to get over the “No more talking” line and let her speak a bit. He might find out a thing of two. But then, he might actually have to admit to himself that he feels more than he thought he did too.

This was a hot, though sweet romance. Not my favorite trope, but well done and entertaining. I did wonder about the brother and his new wife though. This book started at their wedding and issues with their romance was alluded to. Don’t worry. This did read okay as a stand-alone, but in my checking about the brother I found that it is a spin-off of another series by this author. Just a heads up.

If you are a fan of Rhian Cahill, you will love this. If you are a fan of “second chances”, or “best friend’s little sister” tropes, you will love this. If you just like a nice contemporary romance with some hot sex, you will like this. I nice enjoyable read.

Zac has been in love with Freddie since they spent one hot night together, but since then he's been avoiding her because you don’t screw your best friend’s sister. At his best friend’s wedding, however, there’s no way Zac can escape Freddie or the feelings she elicits from him.

Poor Zac. He spends a good chunk of this story getting punched in the face by the various men who supposedly have Freddie’s back. But he takes it like a man (I guess?), and doesn’t let it get in the way of getting Freddie back in his bed. He’s avoided her for long enough and now she’s back in his life, he can’t get her out of his mind. We don’t get to know a whole lot about Zac, except that he is a lawyer and is pretty freaking head over heels for Freddie – I suppose, in the end, that’s all we need to know for this length story! Though I would have liked his character to be fleshed out a little more.

We get to know a lot more about Freddie, who is sick of everyone looking out for her and waiting for her to break since she suffered from anorexia when she was younger. Now men are smashing in her sexy beau’s nose for the sake of her honor, and yeah, I’d find that pretty tedious too. But she’s more concerned by Zac treating her like she’s untouchable. She wants him to stop worrying about her brother, or breaking her, and take her like he’s shown he can.

So yeah, the sex is pretty passionate between these two. Despite apparent reasons to stay away from each other, they can’t help falling into bed together… over and over again. This is the focus of the story, which is well paced as a sexy erotic read, and Zac and Freddie’s desire and heat for each other is intense. That said, I personally would have liked a little more emotional development to go with the hot and heavy sex. In some ways, this story feels like we’ve come in part way through their narrative… we’ve jumped straight to the sexy times. Which has its positives, but it also meant that while I was sold on their lust for each other, I wasn’t totally sold on the love.

Rated 4.5 Blue Ribbons!!

Zac has an insane attraction for his best friend's little sister, Freddie. It has taken everything within his power to keep to the "guy code". He tamps down all feelings for her, but when Zac is asked for to help Freddie work on a project, things get a little out of hand. Ever since that encounter, Zac has tried his best to stay away from Freddie. When he attends his friend's wedding, the attraction once again gets the better of him, and he gives into temptation.

Freddie really likes Zac, but ever since he ran out on her, Freddie been extremely confused. Unfortunately, she cannot deny Zac and it only gets her into a mess of trouble. Although the night they spent together is blissful, Freddie does not want to get hurt. She dismisses Zac and heads home. Only problem is that Zac is hot on her trail. Apparently, he is not yet ready to end things between them. Do they stand a chance at having a real relationship or will Freddie's hopes be dashed once again?

I truly believe that I am on to something and I say this with no disrespect; Aussie women make the best erotic romance authors. I have not enjoyed an erotic novel this much since Eden Summers' A SHOT OF SIN. NO MORE TALKING, a short but sweet novel written by author Rhian Cahill is just as sinful. Ms. Cahill delivers hot and sexy with great panache. The love scenes between characters Zac and Freddie are plentiful and steamy. Zac knows deep down what he wants, but in trying to do what he thinks is the right thing, he denies himself Freddie. I am so relieved that he finally came to his senses and tells Freddie how he really feels about her. It is a sweet end to a beautiful story.
Erotica fans must add Rhian Cahill's NO MORE TALKING to the top of their lists. Warning: Keep some ice nearby for a much needed cool down.

On the whole I found this a disappointing read. It starts off with Zac lamenting that he can’t have Freddie, then him deciding that, no, actually, he can. Then Freddie is unhappy because he’s ignored her for six months, and she doesn’t know why – you’d have thought she’d make the connection between him and her brother, his best friend, but nope. When she leaves the party, Zac follows and they spend an explosive night together.

So far, so expected – well, mostly. I found the fact that Zac keeps telling Freddie to stop talking borderline creepy, to be honest. Especially as it seems he wants her to stop because it only reminds him of who she is and why he shouldn’t be with her. Also, it doesn’t stop him from talking and talking and talking and using the f-word so much it lost all meaning and tripped over from being hot and commanding to cliché-boring.

And this was just the first chapter. After that comes a whole lot of stewing in second thoughts – on both sides – a tantrum from the brother, a weird and totally unexplained encounter with Freddie’s work pal, a whole lot of stupid soul searching from Zac and some more sex. Much of it in the shower.

On the whole it was too whiny for me. Zac treats Freddie pretty badly and she reacts to everything in a strangely delayed way. Considering the things big brother says when he confronts Zac the second time, it made the whole drama of everything utterly pointless, because apparently Zac’s a good guy who normally treats women well, so really, what was all the fuss about in the first place?

In all this one didn’t work for me. It’s a quick read, but that’s the only thing about it that didn’t irritate me.

It must be the season for sexy shorts right now because I’m having a field day with them! This cute, hot short story was a tasty bite to read and deliciously perfect for right before bed. The build-up was done right, the sexual tension steamy, and the way it was settled made sense realistically but was also a perfectly romantic way for the HEA to finish. Thanks for such a great read!

Freddie has been attracted to her brother’s best friend Zac for a while, and she thought when they gave in to temptation six months ago it would be the start of something. Something amazing! But when he left and then avoided her at every opportunity, it really hurt. She was ready to kick his butt! Was she mistaken in his interest? Or had he always been an ass to women?

Zac’s feelings about Freddie had changed as she grew up and out. But he knew his friend’s feelings towards his sister were very protective, and his past behavior with women hadn’t proven him to be very “selective” when it came to relationships–or very stable. He didn’t want to risk angering his best friend…but he hated making “Red” feel bad. And he knew he was by avoiding her the last six months. There was no way he could continue ignoring her at the wedding, though. He was pretty sure they were going to have to “talk” about their feelings there unless he was a real ass.

Mix up a romantic scene, two pretty people all dressed up, simmering chemistry held in for six months, big brother gone, and alcohol loosening their inhibitions…it’s a recipe for disaster with only one possible ending.

Something’s going to blow…

3 out of 5 Licks

Yay a new series!! I just can't get enough of series books and this one is even the best friends siblings troupe-sigh. Rhian wastes no time getting right to the sexy stuff. Some seriously hot sex goes down between Freddie and Zac-well Freddie goes down first, but you can read all about that. I wouldn't want to spoil your fun. ;) While this is the start of a new series I feel like I was missing a piece of the puzzle by not reading Red Light, Green Light (West and Kelsey's story). I am making a guess that we get the back story of Zac and Freddie's story. This book is still enjoyable overall, but I feel like it would have been better if I knew the past piece that is clearly there between them. Zac's indecisiveness was frustrating at times, but when a man decides to go after his best friends sister (whom he also happens to be good friends with) I think he's allowed a little crazy thinking. I also thought that more would come of Freddie's eating disorder, but after the initial passionate thinking about it nothing more was said about it. It felt like there was a lot crammed in the beginning and then the end just fizzled a bit. It is a novella length book so there wasn't a lot of time for the readers to get deeply emotionally invested in the characters. Overall I enjoyed seeing the sparks engulf Freddie and Zac and I'm looking forward to more in this series.

I have a real love-hate relationship with these kinds of storylines; the guy falls in love with his best friend's sister, but doesn't want to pursue a relationship because of his friendship.

Frederica "Freddie" Mann has had a thing for her brother's best-friend Zachary "Zac" Moreland, only problem is that like all books following this type of story, he plays hot and cold.

Zac has had a thing for Freddie for a while and on one particular day a little something happens; since then he has taken to avoiding Freddie and referring to her as "Red".

The story begins at Freddie's brother's wedding and from there, after a little giving in the story kicks off. I won't tell you more because then I'd be giving the story away and it wasn't that long.

The characters were okay, Zac I hated / liked; he has his moments, but overall the reason I hated him was that one day he was very I'm into you and the next he's all this is wrong, I need to pull back. Like seriously, get your head out of your ass and either make a move or step back. As for Freddie, really, don't make it so easy for him. Teach him a lesson or two.

Overall, the story was amusing; Ms. Cahill has an entertaining writing style. I hope the next book is a bit longer so that maybe we can connect with the characters better.

No More Talking is a fabulous start to the Hearts Are Wild series and I am looking forward to reading more of this series.

Zac Moreland is a Lawyer who is always in control whether it be in a court room or in his office but when he is around Frederica Mann or Freddie as she is better known, Zac has no control at all. The only problem is that Freddie is also his best friend West’s little sister. Zac tries to stay away but when he sees Freddie at West’s wedding, six months of trying to stay away ends with one heated kiss. How will West react when he finds out the truth about what has happened between Zac and Freddie. Now more than ever Zac will need to face how he feels and after advise from an unlikely source he will have to open up to Freddie or risk losing the woman who already owns his heart.

No More Talking!!

Freddie Mann has know Zac Moreland her entire life. He is her brother Wests' best friend! She has always loved Zac, but now, she can't stop thinking about him. Zac always thought of Freddie as his best friends little sister. Now he can't stop thinking about what he wants to do to her! They have a quick encounter one night, then she doesn't hear from him for 6 months! They meet again at her brothers wedding. Zac needs to stay away from "Red", his nickname to warn him away from Freddie. The chemistry is too much & they spend an amazing night together! The next morning, Freddie has to figure out how to move on, but what she doesn't know, Zac isn't sure he wants to move on! Come along on this roller coaster ride of emotions & love & see where they end up!

I loved Zac and Freddie's sexy and dirty talking story. What a way to start a news series! These two had amazing chemistry and they could not keep their hands off each other. Rhian Cahill sure knew how to turn up the heat as Zac and Freddie scorched the pages. I love reading stories where the hero falls in love with his best friend's sister and that's exactly what happened here with Zac. I enjoyed watching Zac fight his attraction and need for her, including calling her Red to remind him to stay away. Freddie had a lot of spunk and fire and was determined to get her man. I'm really happy with this spin-off series after Red Light, Green Light and I cannot wait to read the next book.

***ARC from NetGalley in Exchange for an honest review***

Yeesh...this was ok...it felt like I was dropped in the middle of this wedding and I got a first row seat into this sexual thing between the grooms sister and best friend. While both Zac and Freddie are developed well enough to carry on the timeline of this story it was a lot of sex, sex and more sex and I could not pinpoint what it was on either side that made the other fall in love so it was not satisfying in that regard. Interested in lust run amok...this one is for you...and I will do no more talking.

No More Talking was a quick and steamy read, I just wished I connected with the characters.

I found both Zac and Freddie irritated me at different times and while the sex was hot when Zac used the C word I found myself cringing. I'm no prude but that word is a major turnoff for me =(

Thank you Netgalley and Samhain Publishing for the advance copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I struggled through this book. It was extremely slow starting and it didn't pick up too much as it moved along. I made it about half way through before I finally gave up. It could probably be a great story if it weren't for the snail pace it had.
