Aiden Taylor. He’s devastatingly handsome, sexy, arrogant and he’s out of reach. He’s my best friend’s brother and the one man I can’t have. However, now that my best friend Liv is getting married, I’m seeing him more than ever. And he’s doing things to me that are making it hard for me to forget him. Or that night we had years ago. The night neither of us wants to talk about. The night I really want to talk about. We both vowed to keep our secret. It’s just getting harder and harder to keep it to myself. I need to come up with a plan. And I need to come up with it now because every weekend it’s getting harder and harder to tell myself that I’m not falling for my best friend’s brother.
The fact that this is a top 20 bestselling book right now is blowing my fucking mind. I get that we all have different tastes in regards to genres, storylines and characters, but all that aside, shitty writing is still shitty writing, right?
Right?!?!
This book has some of the shittiest, most juvenile writing I’ve ever come across. It’s just bad - so bad. And yet, as I'm writing this, it is ranked #20 in Amazon’s top bestselling kindle books. Proof that no fucking quality standards exist amongst the majority of consumers in that marketplace (and I’m totally including myself in that statement -- I mean, I DID one-click this fucking thing DIDN’T I??) $3.99 for 181 pages of poorly written ramblings. Ugh!
On the positive side, for any aspiring authors out there, this book is proof that anything has the potential to be an Amazon best seller - anything.
TITLE: Falling For My Best Friend's Brother AUTHOR: J.S.Cooper GENRE: Contemporary Romance RELEASE DATE: February 27th 2015 MY RATING: ★★★★
A really enjoyable first time read of this authors, so many times I found myself giggling over the antics of these two best friends when trying to vie for men's attention, seduce the brother..
Who hasn't at some stage had a wee bit of a crush on your best friends brother?? *Raises hand* lol But I never had my friend trying to come up with plans to snag/seduce/make him mine like in this book which is what made this book as funny as it was..
My names Alice, and I have the biggest crush on my best friend Liv's bother, Aiden. He's everything I wanted in a man, but he is the one man I can not have. He's the one man I can not let myself be with.
He's never seen me as anything more than his little sisters best friend.
Alice has known Aiden since she was a little kid, and has had a huge mother of a crush on him since she was ten years old and he was sixteen..He was also the boy who she lost her virginity to after she snuck into his bed one night..
Aiden never gave me the time of day after our night together, he's never mentioned it either, until now.
Sometimes a girl just needs to sneak into a bed.
All I wanted was to repeat that night. But this time I wanted to play for keeps. This time I wanted to seduce my best friends brother and make him fall in love with me.
You have to read this to fully understand the antics she went to, to make this happen..
Teasers used in this review are off the author's facebook page none of them were made by myself..
This was a great funny luv story I luv Aiden an Alice so much they r great So this story is about Aiden an Alice like I said haha I got 2 meet these 2 characters in one night stand an liked them in that book I could c that they were meant 2 b even in that book but never found out what was goin on between these 2 Alice as wanted Aiden since she was 10 yes 10 Aiden is Alice's best friends bro so have spend a lot of time 2gether grownin up but Alice is afraid that he just c her as another sis she was watch Aiden grow up 2 b this hot sexy gorgeous possessive man Aiden is such a gorgeous man like I said u c how cocky an arrogant he can b an very jealous at times Alice is a gorgeous an cheeky girl an he's not the only guy how likes her an if he doesn't get his head out of his ass she would b gone but he didn't know how much Alice wanted him There is a few lil lies goin on in this story I don't think they were bad lies but it defo made this story so good an I was dying 4 them 2 get it on they were hot an after findin out what happened yrs ago it just made me root 4 them more I did luv that we got more from xander an liv they r just so good an then an when liv an Alice r 2gether they r so funny an we got a lil bit more from the rest of the family it was a fun story I really enjoyed it xxx
This was really dumb. The dialogue was very immature and stilted. I think Alice is flaky and a nitwit and Aiden was in idiot. I'm asking for my money back since it was $4.55...not even worth it if it was free. It is two hours of my life that I wasted reading this that I will never get back!

After reading That Night with My Best Friend's Brother, I was very much looking forward to reading Falling for My Best Friend's Brother but unfortunately this book didn't do it for me. In the previous books, I liked Alice more than Liv because I thought she would have been more mature but sadly I found her to be on the childish and immature side in this book which I hated. And to top it off, Aiden was also playing games with her and he lacked that alpha personality that I tend to be drawn to. With that being said, the biggest reason why I couldn't connect to the story was all these games that both Alice and Aiden were playing with each other. Though the games were a turn off, I did like that it was a sweet tale of two people finally getting it right and finally admitting their attraction and feelings for one another. Once they stopped playing their silly games, I enjoyed the real Alice and Aiden.
ANOTHER TOP BOOK FROM JS COOPER!!! I FELL HARD FOR AIDEN AND ALICE'S STORY FROM THE BEGINNING. TO BE INLOVE/CRUSHING ON YOUR BEST FRIENDS OLDER BROTHER FOR YEARS....
ALICE AND LIV HAVE BEEN BFF'S FOREVER. ALICE HAS ALSO SECRETLY HELD ON TO HOPE AIDEN WOULD FINALLY NOTICE HER. ENTER LIV WHEN SHE DISCOVERS ALICE'S LONGING FOR AIDEN INTO LITTLE SCHEMES TO GET AIDEN TO NOTICE HER AND ADMIT HE DOES HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER.
THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY A ROMANTIC READ....BUT IT CRACKED ME UP ALOT!!!! JS CAN MAKE YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HER CHARACTERS AND HAVE YOU SWOONING OVER THEM ONE MINUTE....THEN THE NEXT PAGE HAVE YOU LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! IM HOPING WE GET MORE FROM SOME OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS AS WELL!!!
What can I say, JS Cooper did it again. I love her writing style and I've never been disappointed since I read The Last Boyfriend.
I was given an ARC for my honest review. I loved it! I believe you will enjoy it too. It's that kind of relationship, your first love, that you would always wish for it to come true. Your crush, and if it comes true, you are in Heaven.
I wish I could go back to my younger years, and with this sexy Aiden Taylor. Is there a secret behind him? Alice needs to know. She had her first with Aiden, but it was left at that, nothing ever more mentioned about since growing up and going to college. But Liv's family was like Alice's family, they've know each other for ever. Liv has 3 brothers and 1 sister, Alice was an only child and her father left them when she was 2. But Alice has always had a crush on Aiden the oldest.
You should read "One Night Stand" first, because it will explain some other characters in the book and that's how Liv meets Xander and Xander's brother Henry. Now Liv and Alice are best of friends, and tell everything, they act so immature, that Aiden wishes that they grow up, act more adult. In this essence, since they act so immature, and anything that was told to them, it would be told to the other, so there's a plan. Aiden has feelings for Alice, but she needs to grow up, and he also wants to really know how Alice feels about him. They both want each other but not sure how to do it. And when they do it!! There worlds comes to live, especially Chapter 9. (something I need to try, I wonder if its true, but "a good blow jop trick with Altoids in your mouth") jajajaja that made me curious and when they do get together, its so HOTTT!! STEAMY!!, let's say I had to take a cold shower.
Alice wants so much, feels she's being left out, since Liv is going to leave her when she marries Xander, and she's jealous because she wants the same for herself, she loves Liv, but jealous because she wants a relationship. Now mind you, there are 2 other Hott guys that may want Alice, but will she go out with them so she can move on without Aiden, to forget Aiden? mmmmmm.. Thats something you will need to read!!! And if JS Cooper makes another book from some other characters, let it be welcomed!!! Just Like I was sooooo Happy that she made a book of Aiden and Alice.
Oh.. there's a place called Kat's Corner! Be intrigued!!!
I'm having Aiden and Alice Withdrawals and I just finished this book last night!! Its like maybe continue the stories and have both Alice and Aiden and Xander and Liv.. and the other characters..
I loved Falling For My Best Friend's Brother by J.S. Cooper. This book was full of all the humor, sass, sex and love that J.S. Cooper puts in all her books.
Alice has been in love with one man since she was 16. That man is Aiden Taylor, her best friends older brother. Alice and Liv have always played games trying to be noticed. They work together time and again to try and gain the attention of Aiden for Alice. You will laugh at all the antics these two scheme to catch Aiden's eye. Aiden has a few surprises up his sleeves too.
You have got to read this book to experience all the love and laughter that is to come.
I loved this book..Alice and Aiden have had feelings for each other for awhile but neither knew that! Aiden is her best friend's Liv's big brother! Liv decides to do some matchmaking between the two! Aiden has some plans of his own to teach his sister and Alice their antics have repercussions! Will they both stop playing games and finally admit their feelings for each other? You will have to read this book!
80% of the book was: "Oh, Alice." And "Oh, Aiden." And "Oh, Liv." And "Oh?
Liiiiiike wtf?
Also she kept referring to Aiden as her bestfriend's brother. Which is true but you dont need to keep mentioning it! We're not likely to forget it. Its the title of the book ffs!
Alsoooo, when he said he loved her... Soooo out of the blue. Not believable at all. Kinda expected him to follow it with a "just kidding!"
THIS BOOK IS SUPER HOT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE FULL VERSION ALREADY KNOW I WOULD NOT BE PUTTING DOWN SO I PLAN TO MAKE IT AWEEKEND IN WITH THIS BOOK. Now that I read the full version.A and A are so cute. All the games and hiding was just crazy but I love how they ( Aiden and Alice)felt the same way about each other along.
awww... this was so sweet, funny, so light and so predictably naive bordering lame at times BUT I loved it... and it was just what i needed at the moment.
it's a love story above all, well it's "let's-catch-me-my-best-friend's-older-brother-as-boyfriend" kinda love story...
Aiden is Liv's older brother of sex years and Alice is Liv's best friend like from forever and Alice was pining for Aiden from the first moment she could comprehend the words crush and love... when she was sixteen she decided to seduce Aiden and after that one night things change into a stagnation... Six years after Alice is tired of this not-doing-a-shit-about-it position and decides again to find out where she stands with Aiden...
Alice and Liv were cracking me up...their conversation and banter was so funny bordering dense, but I had so much fun while reading it...I was grinning like crazy most of the time...
since they both are pulling pranks around the people, nobody finds them mature or serious, so this growing up process makes things even more funnier...
the sexy role play between Alice and Aiden had the magic of its own, it was filled with humor...
“I like the landing strip,” he said with a smirk. “Hopefully you can land in the right place.” “Have no fear. I’m a good pilot,”
Alice was a funny, perky and sassy girl which made all the interactions with Aiden, Liv, and other characters funny as LMAO funny.
I was going to show him—well, hoping to show him—that I could be the ball to his chain. Or maybe it was the chain to his ball. Or maybe it was the tongue to his balls. Or the tongue on his balls.
and the fact that Aiden had his own game played out to get the girl he fell for all those years ago but wasn't sure she was mature enough to take the game of love on, made things even more laughable...never thought that she would be ready to jump in and show him that she was really serious about him and about making it work between them, Aiden got himself even more hooked untill this happened...
“It’s always been you, Alice. I love you. And I want you to know that. My heart beats for you.”
and then Alice cracks me up when she respond to him...
“I love you too,” I said back. “Though my heart beats to keep my body running.”
the sex scenes were there BUT I lived through them...LOL
they made me hungry, though so there was a danger of gaining extra weight...hahaha
I then consumed his cock as if it were a banana split and it was the most delicious banana I’d ever eaten.
all in all, this is a sweet, full HEA with funny banter, humorous situation, but above all a second chance love going strong on firm basis...and we all know what that is, right? :)
“I’ll be here to catch you if you fall. I’ll always catch you, Alice. I’ll always be here to catch you...”
I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.
WOW I just finish reading this book, and I love it, but what can I say I love anything that J.S. Cooper writes, I'm gone keep this short since I don't want to give anything away, I have to say that this book got me mad at some part, and made me feel like to strangle the main characters, but I love every single minute of it.
If you got to read ONE NIGHT STAND, than you met Liv and Alice and Liv brother Aiden, well this is Alice and Aiden story, and let me tell you, you will love it, I have to say that I like this one better than ONE NIGHT STAND.
The story begging with Alice, Alice and Liv had being best friends since they where kids, and they leave together, Alice had always had a crush on Aiden, but she always saw him as the unreachable, but now that Liv is about to get married and know what had happen between Alice and Aiden, she is doing everything she can to put them both together, Alice and Aiden start to hang out with each other more, and he start giving her some signals, but that's just confusing her more about if he really have feelings for her or not. But than Alice find out about another girl that is hanging out with Aiden, will Aiden and Alice come out clean and tell each other the way they feel, or will they let other people get in the way.
I have to say I love the banter that Alice and Aiden have going on, I love the way how Aiden is with her, and love it how he always being protective of her, I love the way how Alice is with him, and how she always thinks the worst of him, just to being proven wrong, I love how you get to feel the chemistry that they have for each other, I just love them.
I really love and enjoy reading this book, and can't wait to read more about other characters, Author J.S. Cooper THANK YOU for introducing me to this AMAZING WONDERFUL CHARACTERS AND THIS AWESOME BOOK LOVE IT.
I just loved this book. Liv and Alice crack me up with their silly antics they are always pulling and the games they play. I found myself getting all wound up waiting for things to happen between Aiden and Alice. There was definitely lots of sexual tension there between the two. Once things progressed and the little secret was revealed that Aiden was hiding I couldn't help but laugh. Although if I were Alice I probably would have been pissed I thought his little game was kind of clever. Oh, and their sex was explosive. HOT HOT
I kind of liked this short, fast paced read. There was never any filler which I loved. It was a sexy and fun little story. The authors voices meshed perfectly. I'll certainly be interested in reading the next book if it gets written.
This book is your typical 2015 romance between a girl and her best friend's brother. In this one, the brother in question likes to be dominant. And now that they're both older, she just wants him to teach her what he likes. When she was sixteen, she went to his bedroom and climbed into bed with him. They had sex and she thought her pretending to be the girl he was going out with is creepy, I'm glad he actually knew who she was. Otherwise, it would have been rape at least imo. Anyway, this book didn't have a lot of depth and the writing wasn't the best but it was enjoyable.
What can I say, JS Cooper did it again. I love her writing style and I've never been disappointed since I read The Last Boyfriend.
I was given an ARC for my honest review. I loved it! I believe you will enjoy it too. It's that kind of relationship, your first love, that you would always wish for it to come true. Your crush, and if it comes true, you are in Heaven.

Oh.. there's a place called Kat's Corner! Be intrigued!!!
Love it Jaimie, 5 stars I wish I can give it more, this book had me reading, did not want to put the book down!!
I simply loved everything about this story! It made me laugh out loud frequently, it tore my heart to pieces, and then it put it back together with such gentleness and sincerity that I knew I had to read more about these amazing characters! There isn’t much that this story doesn’t have, and that made me love it even more. I confess that I have arrived late for the fun, but thankfully, I didn’t miss it entirely. I promise you that this is one story that you will not be able to forget no matter how hard you try.
Alice has tried unsuccessfully to bury a huge secret, but since her best friend knows about it, there is no such thing as hiding. Liv is affected by this secret, so she can’t just stand around and take one for the team even if it her best friend Alice. She can’t help but find a way to unravel this mess and bring some happiness into Alice’s life. Being roommates only helps to solidify her plans for intruding and conquering, so in the end Alice gives in and goes along with all of the crazy ideas that Liv comes up with. Alice and Liv have no idea what they are walking into, and they won’t even see it coming. When you mix outlandish behavior, a broken heart, and the biggest surprise of your life, your life will never be the same again.
To say that I enjoyed and fell in love with Liv, Alice, Xander, and Aiden would be a very huge understatement. These characters were simply wonderful and completely unforgettable. Watching them interact and simply be with each other is both utterly heartwarming and stunningly cringe-worthy. The best part is that they figure out who they are and want they want despite all of their mistakes and doubts. No matter what they stand by each other and chose to give the best of themselves even in the worst of situations. What an incredible friendship that was shared by these extraordinary characters! I truly hope that this will not be their last story.
J. S. Cooper has completely blown me away with this outstanding story of the strength and resilience of friendship and love. Nothing is more precious or breathtaking then to watch a beautiful friendship blossom into an utterly magnificent love that was always meant to be! I can never get enough of that, and I hope I never do. This is a story is by far worth more than all of the magical and powerful words in our human vocabulary. It is worthy of our admiration and our heart.
JS Cooper has really outdone herself on this one.... I was able to read this prior to release for an honest review... I LOVED this book. I really enjoyed the continuation of the characters from " One Night Stand" and how their lives too are progressing . Alice is Liv's roommate and BFF . Their lives have been intermixed from a very early age. Alice has been a part of Liv's family in every sense if the word. Since Alice was in her teens she has had a crush on Aiden, Liv's oldest brother . Alice has a secret from when she was 16 that only her and Aiden know and it is making it so hard for Alice since she truly has deep feelings for Aiden. Liv and Alice have a heart to heart and all is revealed. That is when they put in a plan to help Alice get Aiden.... These goofy best friends design a plot to seduce Aiden once Alice is given some information about Aiden.Xander pleaded with Alice to keep this from Liv . That does not happen since Alice and Liv tell each other everything. Alice puts her plan in motion and without giving away this ending , Alice finds out some truths she never saw coming.....will true love prevail? To say more would give away this shocking ending. I Iwould definitely recommend this book. Looking forward to the next .....
Então... O livro é dividido em blocos só com falas e outro só com descrições, e só isso já era motivo pra eu fechar o livro e não voltar nunca mais, como fiz com o primeiro. Mas a versão nacional tem o mesmo título de um dos meus contos, O irmão da minha melhor amiga, daí quis ler e... Não, apenas não! Não sei o que dizer da escrita. Achei os diálogos confusos, esse monte de travessão um embaixo do outro o tempo todo não é uma estrutura que eu acho legal, entrega muito pouco dos personagens ao ponto de eu não conseguir nem sentir ódio nem amor, nem nada. Aí juntou os personagens principais jogando um com o outro desnecessariamente. Gente! Faça amor, não faça jogo, pelamor!!! Teve uns momentos que eu até falei: Hum, tá ficando interessante. Daí na frase seguinte.... Devo ter lido em meia hora, o livro é curto, pulei muita coisa e olha que não tenho o costumo de fazer isso.
Sempre tem que ter um livro no ano que a gente não precisava ter lido. Em 2016 esse foi o livro.
I just want to hit my head of a wall because I'm actually really disappointed just because I enjoyed the first book so much. I was really looking forward to this book and it was still funny and was a lovely read but I was expecting more. There was a bit of a build up to Aiden and Alice when they had moments but it just wasn't enough. I was shocked to find out that she lost her virginity to Aiden at 16 while he was 22. I know it's only 6 years age gap but the book made it out that he was more brotherly to her than anything else until she was 16 then this changed to him falling in love with her. I feel this story had just been shoved together and while I appreciate everything that goes into writing this just wasn't for me. I love this author and I will read more books in the future, I am sure of it. The storyline just wasn't affective to me at all. Other readers might think I'm nuts but we all like different things.
I Really enjoyed One Night Stand with Liz and Xander and the next story involves her best friend Alice whom has crushed on Liv's older brother Aiden for like EVER(Not that Liz realized yet)- Falling for My Best friends Brother is Alice and Aiden's story. In the beginning Alice got on my nerves a bit, BUT I won't deny liking her and Liz's goofy,scheming,plotting antics they hatch just to find out if Aiden likes Alice and who's the New girl Elizabeth that Aiden keeps talkin about. At first for a bit it lingered for me BUT then something happened and tables got turned and It became QUITE entertaining!! I found myself REALLY enjoying Aiden and seeing it through both POVS. Aiden is A Great Book Boyfriend 4.5 stars for Mr. Pleasure;P
Aiden Taylor is "devastatingly handsome, sexy, arrogant and out of reach".Your not suppose to fall in love with your best friends brother, at least that's what Alice thinks. Both have a secret that they've been keeping from her best friend/Aidens little sister. As Alice & Liv try to get Aiden to fall in love with Alice true feelings come to light that should have been revealed years ago! Falling in Love with My Best Friends Brother is a hot tale that is an absolute MUST READ! I don't know how J.S. does it but you fall in love with her books after the first chapter! I'm a die hard Cooper fan and if you haven't read any of her books you are missing out!!!
I really enjoyed reading Falling For my Best Friends Brother.... The story of Aiden and Alice was funny and sexy..... The banter and sexiness between the two was off the charts!!! I loved the backstory of Aiden and Alice and this story kept me entertained throughout the book!!! In One Night Stand I didn't understand Alice's love for Aiden but this book I feel for Aiden and he was not what I expected.....Would love to read about Scott/ Elizabeth and Henry...Keeping my fingers crossed Ms. Cooper will make that happen!!!
This has got to be one of the cutest books i have read in a good while. I love the feiendship between Alice and Liv. I also loved how you involved Xander and Liv even though it wasn't their story. But most of all i really enjoyed the tension between Alice and Aiden. For a quick read you did a great job moving the story along without rushing it. BTW are you crazy? I (and im sure i am speaking for nearly everyone when i say this) would love to have a story about Scott and Elizabeth!!! Then of course we need a story for Henry then we will need one for Chett!!!!! Lol!!!
