A Secret insta-love with the Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend Romance
Cora Spade is a spunky, full of energy 21-year-old with big dreams and big hopes and all the drive in the world to get where she wants to be.
Her blue-blooded friends relish the life of leisure and privilege they all share, but she wants to be more than a trust fund baby running around with a carefree attitude, a daredevil thirst for trouble and a limitless credit card, she wants to work and study and make something of herself, something that will give meaning to her life and will make a difference in the world. There’s only one thing that can tear her eyes from her beloved environmental science books and that is the man she has had a crush on since the day they met, the man who thinks she is just a little spoiled brat, the one she has been avoiding since that summer, five years ago, the guy who happens to be one of her brother Charles best friends in the whole world.
CFO and VP of his family’s multinational company, ruggedly handsome 35-year-old Sterling Fitzroy is so upper-class old-money, there’s nothing above his family other than clouds. Big, British, billionaire and bold to boot, he doesn’t have time for serious commitments —unless they relate to a business— and he’s fairly sure no woman will ever shackle him. As they say, however, even the mighty must fall and when Sterling falls he does it hard and holds back nothing.
One moment he is a devil-may-care kinda guy and love is the farthest thing from his mind and the next he meets a sexy bombshell in an elevator and suddenly there’s something beyond success and money that he wants. Actually, there’s only one thing he wants. Her.
As soon as they collide, they can’t avoid the impulse and they’re not even sure they would want to try.
Dear Reader:
Ops, I did it yet again!
Here for you is a smutty-sweet standalone story as usual with NO cheating and a guaranteed HEA that puts wings on the feet of insta-love and makes it fly even higher and faster. This is a ridiculously saccharine romance that packs a punch and a speed that will leave your head spinning.
Just like his best friends from Devastatingly Desirable and Impetuously Irresistible, Sterling is an over-the-top hot alpha hero so possessive he needs his ring on Cora’s finger practically yesterday.
*Please note that Enchantingly Entangled is part of the ‘In love in a New York Minute’ series, each one of the stories focuses only on one couple and there are no cliffhangers but going through them in order can provide a better reading experience.

This book is about Sterling and Cora. I already knew how things eventuated (generally-speaking) between this pair from the previous book, Impetuously Irresistible. But, it was fun to read about their journey from their own points of view! He’s a British, alpha-male billionaire and she’s a spunky and ambitious 21 year-old with a great attitude and wonderful joie de vivre.
On paper, they’re polar opposites, but perhaps that’s what was needed to have sparks fly. But will a mutual acquaintance make things impossible for them? Will his best friend and her big brother approve, not knowing how serious this player, non-believer-in-love could really be? This was another fun read in the series. I give this book four and a half stars.

Sterling Fitzroy first met Cora Spade, the much younger sister of his friend, Charles, in England, when the Space family was visiting from the States. At that time, she was 16 years old and the 14 year age difference between them, as well as Cora's bratty attitude did nothing to enamor him toward her. Fast forward six years and when Sterling gets on an elevator to take him to Charles' apartment in NYC, he runs into a gorgeous young woman, who just stared at him as he entered the elevator. She waited too long and the elevator doors closed on them both. Without really speaking their instant attraction had them twisted together in a very heavy petting session. The 'bombshell' pushed away from Sterling a few floors below Charles' penthouse apartment and ran off onto one of the lower floors. Little did Sterling suspect this beautiful young woman, who apparently stole his playboy heart in that NY minute, was Charles' now grown sister, Cora. All Sterling knew was that he desperately needed to find her again and make her his.
Cora had recognized Charles the moment he'd stepped into the elevator and was dumbstruck by the still handsome face and great body she'd fallen for 6 years earlier. Her brattiness at that time was because he hadn't even given her a second glance. She had remained a virgin because no man she'd met since was able to measure up to the standard Sterling had set.
Other than the instant connection and lack of any interpersonal conflicts between Sterling and Cora, this story is rife with external issues. They include the knowledge that Charles will go crazy when he learns about Sterling being with his baby sister (especially considering Charles' prior unwillingness to commit in any way to a woman), the age difference between Charles and Cora, Charles' father's loss of interest in running the family's billion dollar corporation, his younger half-brother, Nigel's, constant outrageous activities which resulted in repeated public relations nightmares for the family and their business, and his two elderly aunt's who wouldn't leave him alone about family matters relative to Nigel, the business, and his own unattached status (which could only be corrected by marriage (and a family to carry on the business) with a proper and acceptable English wife. But none of these issues were really more than external fluff and were not dwelled upon nor did they cause problems between the two protagonists. I actually got a kick out of some of them, although I'm not sure the author intended that response from the reader.
Reading this book has reminded me that, no matter how otherwise pleasurable a story might be, I am not a fan of Insta-love stories. Insta-lust is believable, but Insta-love is not. There wasn't one internal relationship conflict between Charles and Cora, as they bedded their way heedlessly in their maybe weeklong courtship to marriage and children. The only issue of any real significance was Charles' expected reaction to their insta-love, which seemed extremely hypocritical given that Charles had his own Insta-love match occurring simultaneously (as did their third British friend and Muskateer, Aston, who was the link connecting the three men).
But if you can suspend reality better than I can or if you're looking for a light, pretty hot trip from reality, this book could do the trick for you. Regardless of my criticism and personal views on the Insta-love subject, I read the book through to the end. If I didn't find some value to the story, I'd never have done that.

Love in an elevator.....will they go up or will they go down???
Enchantingly Entangled is the third book in the In love in a New York Minute series. This is the final couple in these interconnected stories and is about Cora Spade and Sterling Fitzroy. I loved Cora, she is a young woman who wants to be more than she was born into, and that is in a very good way. She is well on her way to doing that but Sterling throws a wrench into things. She is both thrilled, as she has had the biggest crush on Sterling since meeting him when she was sixteen, as he is her older brother Charles' best friend. Sterling is a man who knows what he wants and that does not include a serious relationship. He instead devotes himself to working had and accomplishing things for the family business and having fun. That all changes when he sees the beautiful young woman who takes his breath away, makes his heart melt and gives him some very naughty thoughts. The only issue will be when he learns exactly who she is, the younger sister of his best friend. This is going to get interesting.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is the story of Cora and Sterling. They are 2 people that you think will and will never fall for each other because they are polar opposites. Sterling doesn't like flying, but he has to because he has to go to a meeting in New York. He can't believe his luck when he goes to his friend's apartment and meets a young woman who gives him a wild kiss, and then never sees her again.
The passion and sparks fly from that one kiss, what will happen when they suddenly see each other again, when Sterling goes to a meeting with his best friend and they both find out that she is his best friend's sister and Cora discovers that Sterling is her brother's best friend.
The characters and the characters are described in such a way that you can also avoid some things in daily life. The chemistry between them and the passion is hot. Sterling wants to go for Cora and won't let anything and anyone come between them, not even her brother. This is really a book that you have to read is really worth it, that's all I'll tell you, you'll have to find out for yourself by reading!!!!

I kinda loved this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Cora had a crush on her older brother's best friend Sterling since she met him when she was 16. Sterling was a man that knew what he wanted and that wasn't a serious relationship, regardless of his friends finding their "one" recently. Cora and Sterling ran into each other and shared a steamy kiss/makeout session in an elevator while he was on the way to his friend's apartment. He realized that she was his "one" but didn't have a way to get in touch with her. When they ran into each other again, Sterling realized that Cora was his best friend's little sister. He soon decided that he was going to keep her regardless of the difficulties that might occur. Cora was completely on board with his decision. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Book 3 in Ember Flint's In Love in a New York Minute series is a fast-paced, entertaining instalove romance between Cora and Sterling. At twenty-one, Cora wants more than to be another socialite like the friends she is surrounded by. At thirty-five, Sterling aka "Fitz" is focused on running his business and cleaning up after his little brother's scandalous messes. In NYC on business, Sterling meets a gorgeous bombshell in an elevator and his life is instantly changed - and then he discovers she is his best friend Charles' baby sister, a woman he had previously cast off in her young, impetuous youth. Cora has long-since had a major crush on Fitz, and after sharing a hot, elevator kiss, she is not about to fight his swoon-worthy alpha possessive ways (with a British accent). An entertaining continuation of this fun series of interconnected instalove romances!

This story is one of the In Love in a New York Minute series. This is Sterling and Cora's story. Sterling has a lot on his plate between his own business, his family's business and of course.cleaning up his little brothers public disasters. He would like to find a good woman and fall in love like his friends. Cora has always had her heart set on one guy, only downfall is that he is her older brothers best friend. She is invisible to him, an annoying brat. It had been five years and a crossing of paths in an elevator that changes everything. An enjoyable story but was too much the same for me as the other two in the series. Enjoy!

I love best friend/little sister romance and Enchantingly Entangled by Ember Flint was a perfect example. Its book 3 in the In Love in a New York Minute series. Cora and Sterling were simply amazing together. They first met when Cora was only a teenager and they didn't exactly like each other. But when they meet again a few years later, Sterling is instantly smitten with his mystery woman he met on the elevator. He is shocked when he realizes the object of his obsession is Cora his best friend's little sister. His no longer believes love is a myth because he has finally met the love of his life. He is not going to let anyone not even Cora's brother, Charles stand in their way of a HEA!
This book started so well until our dear hero and heroine decided to make babies from the first encounter based on some bullshit words, need I remind you he is 14 years older than her, honestly the age difference didn’t bother me, it’s the no responsibility that pissed me off , another thing is that they were madly in love quickly, and one very essential turn off for me...is insta-love
I thought that this was a really good book. Cora and Sterling were great together. I really enjoyed the connection and the chemistry between these two. Cora and Sterling knew that they shouldn't fall for each other but the heart wants to wants. I enjoyed the OM/YW aspect as well as brother's best friend aspect. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Ember as a great author.

Talk about instant heat. This story is scorching and mind bending in its intensity. The attraction between Cora and Sterling was such you could feel it coming off the pages as you read it. I had read the other stories with Aston and Charles so this was a great conclusion to their friendship.
Cora is wealthy but wants to work and use her brain. She's busy studying, she's had a crush on her older brother's friend for years. Sterling meets a blonde bombshell in the lift, not realising who it is. An amusing sexy read from Ember I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Good and hot romance This story is well written, with great characters and their steamy relationship, but at the same time, their story is ultimately straightforward after Sterling's recognition of Cora. It remains a good feel good romance. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
This is the story I was waiting for. I loved the way the stories tied into each there. I loved. .After reading the others I really wanted to see how Sterling and Cora's story would go and I was not disappointed.

This is a quick steamy paced story about hanging out with your brother best friend. Who knew.?! Elevator check. Closet? Random locations around the area? Check. Worried about what the brother would say? No clue but at least a no cliffhanger.

Oooh they put me in a good state of mind with all this good loving. Sterling needed Cora in his life and I'm glad he didn't let the fact that she was his best friend's little sister stop I'm from claiming her.
The story of Cora and Sterling is a steamy insta lust romance with two cute characters and a simple plot. It was a quick, fun read, even though it contained a bit too much cursing for me.

The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created. The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind.
Wonderful end to the series. Crazy, how many times they missed each other through the years. When they finally found each other the second time, sparks fly and burn bright. After there trip to Vegas, I was a goner for them!!! All the babies were a lovely bonus.
