No Fraternizing
No Fraternizing: Part 1
For 4 years, Lila Moore has lusted after barbershop owner Manny Perez, longing for the day when he’d give into his desires and give her the best sex she believes she deserves. From the first day they met, their sexual attraction to one another has been magnetic.
As Kuts Kings first and only female barber, Lila has to hold her own and be one of the guys to fit in. But she worries her down-to-earth personality may be what’s keeping Manny from finally making the first move.
But that’s not the only thing keeping them apart.
On Lila’s first day working at Kuts Kings, Manny quickly established a “no fraternizing” rule that prohibited any sexual relationships from happening between the barbers and Lila, including himself. Instead of this ending any attraction Lila had for Manny, those two little words only intensified her feelings for him. She also suspected the rule was more for Manny than anyone else, and she might be right.
But this doesn’t stop her from trying to get Manny to break his own rule. Her consistency will pay off but not without a bump in the road.
To her surprise, Lila discovers Manny hasn’t been completely honest with her and has been keeping a little secret. But there’s no turning back. Both Lila and Manny will have to decide if they should honor the rule or take their work relationship to another level.

About the author
Brookelyn Mosley
63 books191 followersBrookelyn wrote her first short story when she was a sophomore in high school. Back then she discovered how using her experience as a teen living in Brooklyn to create romantic shorts was just as exciting to her as retail shopping and going on dates. After starting her first semester of college two years later, Brookelyn’s creative writing became more of a hobby and something to do to escape the stress of midterms and finals. Now in her 30s as a freelance writer, penning short stories and novellas is her everything. While her experience with writing has evolved for the better, her undying love for creating fiction remains unchanged. Brookelyn's focus is on creating contemporary women's fiction with characters based in urban settings. Her stories chronicles the emotional journeys and erotic experiences of women today through her characters and the scenarios they're thrown into.
The motivation behind her brand of writing has a lot to do with what she discovered storytelling provided for her - an escape. Her goal with her work is to create characters and urban worlds that offer a great escape for fiction readers looking for a break from the daily grind of adulting and who prefer to relax with good books and short stories. When she’s not freelancing, doing yoga, or showing her husband and toddler lots of love, she can be found sitting at her computer desk, with her legs folded, and a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) at arm’s reach as she types or edits her latest short or novella.

This is book 1 in the series and it started out with a bang. Lila is the only female barber in Manny's shop. Since day 1 she has been crushing on Manny, but he put in a no fraternizing rule when he hired her. He says he didn't want any workplace drama, but that's exactly what he got.
The sexual tension between Lila and Manny had been building for over a year, every since they kissed for the first time. Manny is really attracted to her, but tries his best to stick to his rule. That is until one of the other barbers has a birthday gathering and Manny gets a little loose on Patron. He ends up breaking his rule with Lila several times that night.
Now Lila is even more enamored, but that is quickly quelled the next day when his "girlfriend" makes her presence known in the shop. She pops up out of nowhere to mark her territory, but the gag is Manny says she is not his girl. She wants to be, but they are just friends with benefits.
This one ends on a juicy cliffhanger so I'll holla at ya'll later. On to part 2.

Whew I can already tell Manny and Lila are going to take us on a ride this series! Lila was a woman who knew what she wanted and Manny was it! She did however ignore all his playboy signs after she got what she wanted! Manny on the other hand has some issues really pursuing what he wants. I understood his dilemma not mixing business and personal but bro couldn’t hide his attraction to Lila! Manny was definitely out here playing games with this Ashley chick! I’m definitely interested in where this series goes and how Lila and Manny will get it together!

I loved this book from beginning to end I wanted more...I hated that it felt like Lila was playing herself with Manny but I guess she will have to move forward on that note
