“Is that your young lady?” Margaret asks as she leans over to look closer at the screen on my cellphone. “She’s not mine,” I say. “Not yet, at least.”

The last of the girls finally figures out what happens with her letter. Cassidy did not see it coming. Dylan was sweet but the book wasn't the greatest of the series. My favorite interaction was probably a stunned Dylan on the plane on his way to Hawaii chatting with his older seatmate about the letter he received. I could just picture that. Without a doubt my favorite moment.

Last of the 4 letters gets delivered, Cassidy is already in Hawaii for her brother’s wedding, her future sister in law fired her maid of honor and now Cassidy is running around like crazy trying to keep bridezilla, Jodie happy and stress free. She has no idea Lucy has mailed all the letters so when Dylan arrives and is acting weird she doesn’t know what’s up. While inflight, Dylan is writing his best man speech notes on an envelope, he turns it over and opens the letter, he’s surprised when he reads the letter from Cassidy. He’s always had feelings for her but he kept them buried for the sake of his friendship with her brother, Hayden and her parents, who were real good to him when he was younger. He’s so befuddled by the letter he shares it with the sweet older lady sitting next to him. When he arrives on the island he hug’s Cassidy, unfortunately it’s real awkward since he has alway kept his distance from her for his own sanity. They spend the day together getting all the last minute things that Jodie needs for the wedding, that gives them time to talk and reminisce. It comes out due to a scare Dylan and Hayden had caused when she was younger, she never learned to swim. He tells her he will teach her tonight since Hayden and Jodie will be out of the bungalow. Swimming leads to sexy times, yeah Cassidy for initiating. Over the next few days they continue to sneak around and spend the nights together. One morning Hayden knocks on his door while Cassidy is with him, she hides in the closet while her brother comes in with her letter to Dylan. While he’s talking about her she makes a sound and he knows she there. When he lunges for Dylan he jumps and hides behind Cassidy, it’s pretty funny. She’s shocked and surprised to see the letter and says that explains Dylan’s behavior. She lays into her brother for snooping, he says he’s trying to protect her. Dylan confesses his love. More I love yous, I really liked how they took time after the wedding trip to really get to know each other, it’s a year later that she moves in with him. Her parents are thrilled and knew they would one day end up together. He plans a cute proposal, her answer is to give him a letter in which she proposes to him, she was going to mail it the next day.

Seeing What Was Always There . . .

When four friends get together for a ladies night, they discuss the reasons that they are still single. The common theme is that each of them has a crush on a certain man and that is holding them back from moving on to someone else. So they agree to write a letter to their crush, never intending the letters to be mailed but just as a cathartic release for each of them.

Cassidy is getting ready to fly to Hawaii for her brother Hayden’s destination wedding. His fiancée had a fight with her original maid of honor, so Cassidy is stepping in for her. Dylan is Hayden’s best friend and will be his best man. She has been in love with Dylan since high school. As Dylan finally gets to read the letter on the plane the next day, he is stunned. He scrolls through his photos on his phone from an engagement party they attended. But now, when he looks at Cassidy laughing with Eddie, he feels a surge of jealousy! Will Dylan ignore her letter by the time he gets to Hawaii to meet them all? Or has the letter allowed him to really see her as someone he has been hiding feelings for all along? Is he ready to begin a true relationship with his best friend’s little sister? Is this their chance to have the love they both seem to want?

This is a fun series with a clever premise for getting these friends the man each has always wanted. Grab your copy and see what Dylan does when he finds out how Cassidy feels about him!

Jodie is the ultimate crazy bride, on speed. The girl has serious issues, and Cassidy’s brother needs to run in the other direction. But, no Hayden, is giving her the destination, Hawaiian wedding she wants. But, since she fired, her first maid-of-honor, Cassidy has to suffer through.

Her last night of freedom, before the real craziness starts she is having a girl’s night with Lucy, Maren, and Willa. When they are deep, in margaritas and pizza. They figure out they are four, beautiful, talented, and amazing women. Yet, they are all sitting home on a Friday night.

So, they reveal to each other, who their secret crushes are. Then, they decide to write them, which is never intended, to be mailed to them, all the things they ever would want, to say to them. Whoa! Think about it, that can be freeing, but, unless you are the one to send it, you better be the one to also burn it, if not.

Can you guess which of the two, Cassidy might have chosen? By the end, not so much. Lucy might need, witness protection, however, LOL! Dylan is surprised, or rather dazed when he reads it, on the plane. To the point of discussing it with his seatmate, an elder woman. So sweet.

Very cute, short, and sweet story. Hayden’s reaction was OTT but other than that I enjoyed it. Cassidy’s reaction to Dylan’s, unusual mannerisms when he arrives, is priceless.

Learning to swim in Hawaii....and a lot more

DEAR BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND is the fourth and last book in the SINCERELY YOURS series which is about four best friends who are all in love with and hung up on men that do not know they are alive in that way. This story is about Cassidy and Dylan and some romance in Hawaii. I loved last story as it is sweet, funny, sexy and has wonderful characters, including the support characters. Cassidy has been in love with Dylan since she was young and has not been able to find anyone that could ever measure up to the original. Dylan is Hayden's best friend, who just so happens to be Cassidy's older brother. So Dylan has watched Cassidy grow up but has never really seen her.....that is until he receives a letter and reads it. To say he is surprised by what it contains is an understatement but he quickly finds that the one woman he has not been able to find has actually been right in front of him for years. Now all he has to do is show her that he can feel the same way about her as she does about him. BTW - don't forget to get the bonus epilogue which gives a quick chapter wrapping up each of the four ladies, Maren, Willa, Lucy and Cassidy, romance stories.

This the fourth book in the Sincerely Yours series and is a brother’s best friend story. The stories are connected by four best friend who decide to put their feelings for the men they secretly love on paper so that they can hopefully move on with their lives. They never intended to send them, so they feel free to write their true feelings down, no one’s going to read them anyways. Somehow, they got mailed out and now the guys know how they feel. Since the stories all happen at the same time it doesn’t really matter if you read them in any particular order. Enjoy one or enjoy all. If you like steamy, short, fast paced instalove stories this series is for you.

After reading the letter Dylan starts to exam his feelings for Cassidy. Will reading Cassidy's letter change Dylan's feelings for her?

Cassidy was having dinner with her best friends, Maren, Willa, and Lucy on a Friday evening, when they were all discussing why they were once again without dates on Friday night. They decided, they were hung up on one particular man already in their lives. Then one of them came up with the idea to write a letter to their love, to purge them from their system, but the letters were to never be sent. One of the girls as a joke picked up the letters and mailed them. Cassidy was to be maid of honor in her brother's destination wedding the next weekend with Dylan being the best man. She was flying out on Monday with her brother and the bride with Dylan to follow on Tuesday. Dylan read his letter during the flight and what an eye opener it was for him. It gave him so much to think about and decide what he wanted to by the time got to Hawaii, but things were sure looking up. Another wonderful story with a bridezilla on the side.

Dear Brother’s Best Friend is the fourth book in Lana Dash’s Sincerely Yours series. Readers get to witness the romantic journey of Cassidy and Dylan. Cassidy’s brother, Hayden, is getting married and she is their maid of honor. Dylan, Hayden’s best friend is their best man. Cassidy has crushed on Dylan for years but did not pursue it as it seemed a forbidden love. Now, that they are participating in destination wedding, can they resist the sparks that fly?

Ms. Dash penned a heart-warming short story with captivating characters. I enjoyed how she weaves a two-prong plot line together. The first prong, and the obvious one, is the romance plot. The second prong focuses on the challenge of dealing with a forbidden love. I appreciate Ms. Dash’s use of descriptive language to paint vivid scenes that helped to create a little tension in the story especially with the lead characters’ internal struggles. I like her clever use of a love letter as an impetus for their romantic journey. This is a nice touch and a connecting theme for all of the books in this series. Nice job, Ms. Dash!

The perfect way to find your love – a meddling BFF. This is about Dylan and Cassidy. They have known each other most of their lives as Dylan was taken in as a family member when Cassidy’s parent found out how neglected his parents were to him. Well, they are both attending Cassidy’s brothers wedding and before she leaves for the wedding, she meets up with her three best friends (Maren, Willa, and Lucy) in which they decide to write a letter to the one love that will never be and in this case for Cassidy it was Dylan. The catch here is that meddling Lucy decided to mail the letter to Dylan when they had all agreed it would not be given to them.

Once Dylan reads this story – he must make a choice and before Hayden kills him, he has to make sure that she truly feels this way because he now sees her differently.

This is book # 4 in the Sincerely Yours Series. I am so loving these love letters being sent out to their secret crushes and these ladies getting their man.

Cassidy, Maren, Lucy and Willa are BBFs and decide to write letters to the men that they have been crushing on but the letters were not supposed to be mailed. But guess what the letters are getting to their intended parties with the help of Lucy.

Cassidy has been crushing on her brother Hayden’s best friend Dylan and decides to pour her heart out in a secret letter. Cassidy and Dylan are both headed to Cassidy’s brother Hayden’s destination wedding. Dylan didn’t know that Cassidy had been crushing on him until he receives the letter and reads it. Dylan has a decision to make before Hayden finds out.
This was such a cute novella about secret crushes and tell all letters.

So they write letters to the men as a way to get their feelings out so that they can move on. However one friend ends up mailing the letters out to the men in question. Cassidy is about to see what her letter does to the man of dreams even though she is unaware that he has gotten the letter. Dylan is stunned when he reads the letter on the plane from Cassidy but it opens his eyes to how he feels for her. Can he convince Cassidy to take a chance on him? Will it be too late?

This is a great story that will hook you in the first chapter and leave you wanting more with the last chapter. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Such a perfect ending!

I really loved how this ended between the best friends! Cassidy and Dylan truly shared something magical and beautiful. I loved how Dash ended this with something very special. Also I loved how she included a special bonus epilogue! Don’t forget to sign up for that! I know I did! I just love updates like that! There’s so many more stories to this series and I’m very excited to get to them all! Dash has done such a great job so far. This novella had such a great backstory between all of these couples. Everyone’s story was different. These girls all had something different to bring to the table and all had their own quirks and came from different walks of life and ended up with different types of guys. She represented these people very well. These stories were very believable and were very sweet. This grumpy bear 🐻 gave this book 5 cosmic stars. 💥💥💥💥💥. Be sure to check this series out!

CASSIDY
Family weddings are stressful. And as the maid of honor at a destination wedding, I'm prepared for the chaos that's about to ensue. What I'm not ready for is Dylan finding out that I have feeling for him. I keep telling myself it's only one weekend, but a lot can happen in seventy-two hours.

DYLAN
The letter from Cassidy shows up before I catch my flight to my best friend's destination wedding. I knew she'd be there, but I had no idea of her feelings for me until now. We are thrust together for multiple events leading up to the wedding. And I find myself seeing my best friend's sister in a whole new way. Do I risk a lifelong friendship for a real chance at a lifetime of love?

Oh wow another fabulous book and the storyline was so good I found it had to put the book down. The characters were brilliantly put together. Another perfectly written book by Lana Dash I cant wait to read the others in the Sincerely Yours series.

[Lauren · Rating 4 out of 5]

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Dear brother’s best friend is the fourth book in the ‘’sincerely yours’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Cassidy has been in love with her older brothers best friend for years. When she writes a love letter confessing her feelings, it is never meant to reach Dylan. Dylan didn’t realise his love for Cassidy until he got her letter but will they get together?
The chemistry between Dylan and Cassidy is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

Lana Dash has become one of my must read authors and this book only adds to that distinction. Ms. Dash has a way of drawing you into her books from the 1st page to the last. Her characters are so delightful that you can't help cheer for their happy ever after. Dylan and Cassidy's book is one of finally realizing that your soul mate has been with you most of your life and then knowing that if you don't act now that you will be sorry. This book has everything that you could want; comedy, drama, tears, joy and hot romance. This is the 4th book in the Sincerely Yours series and you will be sorry if you miss it; as well as the story of the other 3 of Cassidy's friends.

I’m sad the series is over!

I’ve really enjoyed the premise of this series...writing a declaration of love in a letter that’s never intended to be sent, but is.

Cassidy has been in love with Dylan, her older brother’s best friend forever. When Dylan receives her letter, he realizes he feels the same but was always worried that his relationship with Cassidy’s family would change if he dated her. All bets are off when they are together to celebrate Cassidy’s brother’s wedding.

Quick, sweet and steamy. I enjoyed this story as I’ve enjoyed the previous three. Give the whole series a try.

[Diana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this short story, Both of the characters have known each other since childhood and have been so close to each other as "family" that they did not see what was right in front of them. They needed something to open their eyes and the author's choice of a letter never to be mailed was a cute method to trigger it. I did not particularly like the mention of women getting so out of control that they throw and break vases and other things, but otherwise, it was a nice, fun, believable story with a romantic couple.

Cassidy has fallen for Dylan years ago and when the letter she wrote ends up in his hands, it awakens him to the realization he loves her too. During her brother's destination wedding, they are caught after Hayden finds the letter and wants to let Dylan know. Cassidy protects Dylan from Hayden and they promise to keep it quiet for awhile. Dylan was the last to know but he gets on the bandwagon quick.

I love brother/best friend/little sister romance so I was happy to get Dear Brother's Best Friend by Lana Dash was another 5 star read. It was well written and I definitely enjoyed Cassidy and Dylan's story. Cassidy has been in love with Dylan for years and he has no idea until they reconnect at her brother's wedding. Now that Dylan knows of Cassidy's feelings, she is all he can think about. Will he risk his friendship with her brother or will he go after the woman he now can't live without?

I thought that this was a really good book. Cassidy and Dylan were cute together. I really enjoyed Cassidy and Dylan's connection and chemistry. I really liked Dylan and his explanation of his " weird Jekyll and Hyde personality" once he confessed his feelings for Cassidy. I have really enjoyed this whole series so far and I can't wait the rest! I would recommend this book and Ms. Lana as great author.

Out of all the heroes in the story in this series, it was Dylan who sought the advise of a neutral third party that helped him realized what he has been feeling all alone for his best friend's sister. Writing that letter was the best thing Cassidy might have done but sending it to its intended became the best thing that's been done for her. It brought her her happiness, Dylan.

She's his best friends little sister

Dylan has been part of Cassidy's family for years. She wrote a letter to her crush to put things in perspective and move on. He found the letter her friend mailed playing Cupid for them. Dylan finally started to see what he's been missing after he showed his seat mate the letter. Bless that last for helping the poor guy out. One swim lesson later they finally connect. Cute proposal...;-)
