Her brothers best-friend is perfect for this single mom.


This was an enjoyable read. It is my first time reading Ava Storm and found she did a great job with building her characters so they complimented each other and had something relatable to hook the reader. I loved Alex! So much character and spunk in that little boy, he brought a lot of fun to this story. We start off hot and heavy with the prologue but the actual story has a slower build-up which is nice to get to know the players a bit before they fall all over each other. Great first story!

I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

A very good and enjoyable romance by a new author. I like the personalities of the characters from Barry’s overprotectiveness towards his sister Marcie and her son Alex, to Keith’s obvious interest in Marcie and his deep bond with his Dad, to Alex’s exuberance in all things. It is a great cast and they compliment each other very well. I appreciate how the story builds with hope, with love and with suspense to where it unfolds putting all the pieces into place and creating a very happy ending.

This is a well written book with strong characters and an interesting story line. The author does a great job building the story and pulling you in with all the twists throughout. She brings a ton of sizzle and heat with a steamy chemistry. The story moves quickly and smoothly and I enjoyed reading.

I really enjoyed this story by a new author to me. This story is full of deliciously steamy scenes, sizzling chemistry. I loved Keith and Marcie together, they were amazing. There are twists and turns to keep you guessing a little suspense thrown in. Great read, and look forward to reading more from her. I received a copy of this book.

Great book!

This was a really great book. The story line is great and the author knows how to keep your interest. You have a woman who had a crush on her brothers best friend, who also had a crush on her also but was warned by the brother not to mess with his sister. Then years later they meet again and fall in love. Great book!

This is a well-written forbidden brothers best friend romance, there is plenty of drama and intrigue within the romance and emotion flying between Keith and Marcie. Highly entertaining, I will definitely read more by this author.

I don't think I have ever read a book from Ava Storm and I really like her writing style. This is a great story from start to finish. There were more twists and turns than I was expecting which I love. I also love a dual point of view! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Keith was warned off Marcie by her brother, his best friend, but years later Marcie, a widow now with a young son Alex, theirs lives collide. There is drama, suspense and hot scenes in this well written story with enjoyable characters.

Boring and Predictable

It followed a formula and the whole kidnapping seemed forced and a way to make up plot holes.
Just underwhelming

Cute and sweet

A cute love story with twists and a burning passion that’s soul deep. I loved the characters and their relationship felt natural. The angst was real.
