One night. My three best friend’s brothers. Zero regrets… Until two pink lines changed everything.
Josh kissed me like he meant it. Carter carried me to bed like he owned me. Mason whispered filthy things I still dream about.
It was supposed to be one wild night. Not the one that knocked me up.
Now I'm juggling cravings, secrets, and a coffee shop I can't open alone-- while trying to keep my best friend from finding out I slept with all her brothers.
Too late.
She just spilled everything... Right as my ex shows up, ready to stir the pot.
One of them is my baby's father. They all want a claim on my heart. And none of them are backing down.
When Ashley returns to Amber Hollow after losing everything in San Diego, all she wants is a fresh start. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for her best friend’s brothers. Carter, Mason, and Josh aren’t the boys she remembers. One night changes everything, and nothing is simple after that.
While building her dream coffee shop, Ashley finds herself balancing ambition, unexpected love, and a surprise pregnancy. Just when things start to settle, her controlling ex shows up, threatening the life she’s rebuilding.
She starts out lost and unsure but grows into a confident woman who takes back control of her future. The brothers evolve too, letting down their emotional walls and choosing to stand by her with loyalty and care.
What begins as a physical connection becomes something deeper. Together, they create a bond built on trust, love, and shared goals. Through challenges, judgment, and parenthood, they grow into a real family.
A steamy and heartfelt RH romance exploring love without limits, found family, healing, small town life, trust, vulnerability, and building something lasting from the mess. It’s honest, bold, and full of heart.
I initially liked the book because of the characters’ history together—it set up something that could have been really great. But all the drama about being “off limits” felt way over the top. There was just no real justification for it. Maybe if the guys were players and the sister was genuinely scared her best friend would get hurt, but that wasn’t the case. The only reason given was that Ashley was the sister’s best friend, which felt weak.
Other things that bothered me: the relationship development just wasn’t there. There was no real build-up, and I never felt the connection (which was especially necessary in Carter’s case, considering how many times he acted like an a$$). Then there’s the moment when Morgan told the whole family about the baby—it was unnecessarily harsh and out of line the way it was done. Ashley should have been the one furious.
And then the closing with the ex… honestly, that’s where the book really lost me: 1. The guys should have groveled way more after how ridiculous they were. 2. Ashley’s sudden burst of courage came out of nowhere. No woman who has been gaslighted like that would flip the script in a second—it felt unrealistic and weakly written. 3. And seriously, why were they together “discussing the relationship” before even rescuing her? So much for heroes.
The book was promising, but the execution frustrated me too many times for me to rate it higher.

I wasn't hooked. I love it when a book captivates me to the point I can't put it down, and this book just didn't do that for me. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters, but something was missing that kept me from absolutely loving this book.
4.5 ⭐s They've got some 'splainin' to do and no idea how to do it.
After six years, Ashley has returned to Amber Hollow when her life in San Diego imploded in what was a perfect trifecta of losses: she was fired from her job, she broke up with her boyfriend, and she lost her place to live.
Her mother died when she was only five, but she couldn't have asked for a better person to have raised her than her father. Peter's always supported her dreams, allowed her to follow her own path, and made certain that no matter what, she knows he's 100% behind her. She's about to put that to the test.
Ashley's best friend is Morgan. The two of them, along with Morgan's older brothers, Carter, Mason, and Josh, grew up together. Ashley was considered to be another daughter and sister to their family.
Now that she's home, she plans to open a coffee shop with live performances, events, and those sorts of things. She has a business degree, had found an assistant position in a startup company, and had shadowed the owner before everything blew apart in California.
Unfortunately, the building she's looking to buy for her coffee shop is more of a fixer-upper than she thought it would be. Her honorary brothers decide to invest in her company.
The three brothers took over their father's construction business when he decided to retire. He asked the eldest son, Carter, to be the boss. Carter loves building and remodeling projects but hates the paperwork. He's loath to give up the position since his father had specifically asked him to take it. When things get rough for him, he tends to walk away to take time to think things over.
Middle son, Mason, is the smart and analytical one in the family. He loves the business end of the company and would like to have Carter's position, but Carter won't give it up.
Youngest son, Josh, is a musician at heart. His heart isn't in the construction business, but family loyalty has him stuck where he's at. Like Carter, when things get rough for him, he walks away, but to the nearest barstool.
Morgan is so happy to have Ashley back. At first, as usual, their friendship immediately picks up where it last left off. But before too long she's beginning to wonder what's wrong. Ashley seems to be ignoring her. And something is a bit off with her brothers, too. What's going on?
What's going on? How about her best friend having a threesome with her brothers? How about an unexpected but welcomed pregnancy? How about a clerk at the women's clinic mentioning to Morgan that she's seen Ashley a lot lately before the foursome has come to a decision as to how to let the family know about the baby? And how about the ex from San Diego popping up to claim the baby as his?

Whew, where do I even start?! My Best Friend's Brothers: Twisted Desires by Brooklyn Cox had me hooked from the very first page. I knew it was going to be juicy, but I wasn’t ready for just how chaotically delicious this ride would be. Coming home was supposed to be a clean slate for the main girl (relatable, right?), but instead she gets Carter, Mason, and Josh—her best friend's three insanely hot brothers—thrown into the mix. And let me tell you, every one of them brought something dangerous to the table. 😏 Carter was the one who made me want to melt into a puddle with his protective vibe. Mason? Mason could talk me into just about anything (and I mean anything). And Josh with those tattoos and dreams? Straight-up fantasy fuel. I swear, one minute I was swooning, the next I was fanning myself. And then, BAM—pregnancy bomb drops. Cue the drama, secrets, best friend blow-up, and an ex popping up to stir even more chaos. My poor heart was sprinting through every chapter. Brooklyn Cox perfectly captured that messy, complicated, can’t-help-but-love-it kind of story that keeps you reading way past bedtime. It was sexy, it was sweet, it was full of wild twists, and I loved every second of it. If you’re like me and you love a little accidental baby drama mixed with fierce love, secret pining, and all the brothers you’re not supposed to fall for (but you absolutely do)—then you need this book in your life. Immediately.
Ashley is forced to return home after everything collapses at the same time… job, ex-boyfriend, and losing a place to live was definitely telling her San Diego was not the place to be. Her family and friends are delighted to have her home and crowd into her studio apartment to welcome her back. But she hasn’t lost hope… she has her degree and plans for the future to open a coffee shop with entertainment provided. And being back with her dad and her best friend, Morgan, is definitely one of the good things to return to. Just then 3 large gorgeous men walk in and she can’t believe these are Morgan’s brothers, Carter, Mason, and Josh Camden! When the party ends, the brothers remain and their talk turns to why she broke up with her ex. The brothers decide to show her what her ex “should” have been doing… and she is blown away with the love and attention they give to her. Unfortunately, the end result of the best time of her life results in a pregnancy. She doesn’t reveal this to the families and her best friend Morgan until she can figure out what the repercussions will be and what is the right thing to do. But we all know secrets can never be kept. This is an awkward situation, but things do get worse when her ex shows up and interferes. How will they deal with the situation?
Ashley is back home from California. She is at her homecoming party thrown by her father, her best friend Morgan, and her parents. Both families were together while their kids were growing up, Morgan and her three brothers; Carter, Mason, and Josh were more often than not with Ashley. The boys tended to keep the girls out of trouble and keep the boys away!
Carter, Mason, and Josh are taken aback when they see how grown-up Ashley is now, she is not some young girl, she is all woman. But they have been friends and protectors all their life, should they see their sister's BF in that light?
Ashley has always had a special kinship with the brothers but that brotherly affection has now gone over to attraction. Can she cross that line and hurt her BF who is like a sister to her?
All four now have to deal with the consequences of their actions, sneaking behind their family's back. Even more so when Ashley finds out that their first night of passion left her with a 'welcome home' gift!
What will be the fallout for them, can the love the families have for each other steer them through when they find that Ashley and all of the brothers are together? Friendship, trust, and love are all on the line.

The growth in how each relationship is developed and their back story makes it so you understand the men. When everything comes to light and starts to blow up in their faces the ex shows up causing more havoc. The ending is worth all the trials and tribulations they go through.
This book starts off with the FMC returning to the town that she grew up in after losing her job and escaping her verbally abusive boyfriend.
Reunited with her best friend and her best friends protective brothers that she grew up with. At her welcome home party the MMCs show her what she has been missing from her ex. She very quickly gives in to the attraction she develops to her best friends brothers, and the drunkenly surrender to their desires, not realising Ashley had missed her pill.
The way that the pregnancy got announced to the guys was hard and could be triggering for some and there are themes of previous control and abuse in Ashley's life.
This book is well written, the characters work well together and the ending is so cute, I may have cried a little. Definitely worth reading and Brooklyn is an amazing author.

OMG!! Three brothers in love with the same girl, who just so happens to be their little sisters Best Friend? Did they get her pregnant or is there someone else?
I loved this book. The characters were so close, they are practically family. Ashley is a dreamer that wants nothing more than to realize her dream of opening a coffee shop in her hometown after her life imploded in California. She came home and was intimate with her best friend's brothers one night, which resulted in an unplanned (but not unwanted) pregnancy. Will she have to put her plans for her coffee shop on hold again? If you like the taboo reverse hareem trope, you’ll love this book 🙂.

That was a welcome home party with a difference for Ashley! Ashley returns to her home town following the breakup with her abusive boyfriend. She is making a fresh start by running her own cafe with the help of her best friend (Morgan)‘s three brothers. Throw in the pregnancy and it’s all one big mess especially as Morgan starts to feel sidelined as Ashley is busy with the three brothers and setting up her business. There were some really difficult issues that had to be resolved and I felt that the story didn’t dwell too heavily on them. Despite the issues it was an easy to read story.

-Ashley returns home and falls into a steamy, emotional tangle with her best friend’s three brothers. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarik Sharing my honest opinion.
This reverse harem is packed with drama, desire, and characters battling personal demons. Despite heavy themes, the story stays readable and emotionally engaging throughout.
A messy, mature romance full of heat, heart, and complicated family ties. Not very realistic.

This story is a very entertaining read. I liked how Carter, Mason, and Josh reacted when they see Ashley as an adult and not just their sister’s best friend. Each man is surprised that they all are now attracted to Ashley and she to them. This story has some interesting conversations, each character has a unique personality, and their shared history did influence some of their reactions. A significant element is how their sister reacts.
This Booksprout ARC is a very good engaging read.

Ever wonder whay could be better than falling for the super hunky, ultra sweet, all around great guy that you grew up with? Falling for his equally hunky, arguably as sweet, equally great guy brothers, too! And then building a life and family with them! If only real life played out like the pages of this book.........sigh. Cannot be disappointed here, even with the drama-filled plot. Can't wait for another!.

The characters are complex, and I liked how each had to deal with their own inner demons to find their happy ever after.
