Entice
I was the guy that drifted through life. I rolled with the punches, even when they knocked me on my ass.
I'd get back up, dust myself off, and pretend life wasn't full of heartache and disappointment.
On the outside, I was nothing more than the fun-loving guy that made everyone laugh.
But on the inside, there was more hate than I knew how to control.
No one knew the life I'd led; I hid my demons well.
But even in all the anger and pain, there was one spark of sweetness.
She was younger than me, so innocent, and worst of all, my best friend's little sister.
Grace was off limits.
Wanting her led to the possibility of losing the only true family I'd had left. I wouldn't want her; I had to keep a safe distance. But seeing her change from the sweet girl into a woman with desires did something to me. It shifted something inside me, and that something was impossible to control.
But had I realized that Grace Jackson was the one for me too late? Had I missed my chance by driving her away and into the arms of another?

Grace has come of age and knows whom she wants, Terrance. Terrance has feelings but does not want to lose his friend or job. Leaving him to watch her walk away.
Now, Grace is home from college for the summer and is not alone. Will Terrance be up for the challenge to admit what he feels? He is good at driving her away. Or suffer as she moves on without him?
My kindle was not harmed, but I did consider throwing it a time or two; these two brought out the emotions and laughter.

CA Harms has a brilliant talent at creating magic with every story she releases, and every last character she's created I've wanted to be my real life friends. Entice is absolutely no exception. I felt so much for Terrance as his demons are really hateful, and it was like he felt he didn't deserve good stuff in his life. He's best friends with Grace's (our heroine) brother, but he also has secret feelings for Grace. These two were perfect for each other that's for sure, but nothing worth having is easy. Grace has secret feelings for Terrance, but she's finally accepting that nothing will ever happen so she's trying to move on. She's home from college so let the fun begin. I've learned that I can't start a CA Harms book before bed because once I open it up, that's it until every last page is devoured, and she puts all her heart & soul into every last story. Don't pass on this book as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Grace doesn’t remember a time that she hasn’t loved Terrance, her brother’s best friend, however she has finally accepted that they aren’t meant to be, and it is time for her to stop dreaming of a future with him.
Terrance loves his best friend’s sister Grace, but he is afraid that pursuing her would cause him to lose the people he is closest to. He has come to realize that a future without her is no future at all but will it be enough to overcome his past?
This is a heartwarming story about two people who have always belonged together and it was great to see them get out of their way and realize that the only place they belong is with each other.

Ahhhh! I read this entire story in one sitting, that’s how excited I was to dive into C. A. Harms’ newest Brooklet Dreams book. I seriously couldn’t put it down!
C. A. Harms is and always will be a must read author for me, and this book is a perfect example of why! The amount of times I’ve reread the first book in this series, Allure, is no longer countable! Lol. I have no doubt I’ll be returning to and rereading this book just as much as that one from now on. ☺️
The dynamic between main characters, Terrance and Grace, leaves you wanting more after (and during) every chapter. 😩💕 Honestly, the chemistry between these two characters was not only present, but glaringly obvious, from the first moment they shared the page! A really brilliant combination!
The obstacles the two faced along the way just made their happy ending all the sweeter, and I felt that they came out all the more strengthened and bonded as a couple because of them.
Like always, Harms’ writing depicted a perfect balance of strengths and vulnerabilities in these characters, giving them real life emotions, pains, heartaches and struggles. A truly fantastic job of making these characters come alive on the page.
In summary, this romantic, forbidden, passionate, and incredibly emotionally charged romance, was absolutely breathtaking! C. A. Harms did a fantastic job (as usual) and I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this masterpiece! I need to add it to my bookshelf!
This book is 100% going down as one of my top reads of the year!
Five very well deserved stars from me! (No surprise!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I honestly cannot remember the last time I devoured a book as fast as I did with this amazing story . Entice by C.A Harms really is the perfect blend and perfect example of all the things a great romance should be . Wonderfully written characters that are just so unique, so likable and relatable and extremely multi layered, off the chart’s chemistry, best friends sister , angst , humor , witty banter , forbidden, . family , friendships, , vulnerability , strengths , ups and downs, unexpected surprises, heartbreaking, heartfelt, romantic, swoon worthy , emotional rollercoaster, unforgettable and unputdownable. Grace and Terrance’s emotional journey is definitely not all hearts and flowers , they definitely have their share of obstacles , but one thing is undeniable and that is the connection they share and the chemistry well let’s just say that when they are together sparks fly . This is a story of two people who bring out the best in each other , two people who accept each other for who they are flaws and all i. It’s the type of romance that is guaranteed to grab onto all your emotions so tightly and pull at your heartstrings in ways you won’t even be expecting and it will definitely keep you up reading well into the early morning hours .

Entice by CA Harms. When I started reading Entice the characters grab your attention right away. The book has to grab my attention right away by 2nd chapter of a book if it doesn’t grab my attention I’ll put it down and not read it again. From the first page I was sucked in and was not able to stop until the end of the book. Entice is the 4th book in the Brooklet Dreams series. The book is the story of Grace and Terrance. Terrance was nothing more than the fun-loving guy that made everyone laugh. But on the inside, there was more hate than I knew how to control. No one knew the life I'd led; I hid my demons well.But even in all the anger and pain, there was one spark of sweetness. Grace was younger than him, so innocent, and worst of all, his best friend's little sister.Grace was off limits. The detailing of this book is great and makes you think that you are there living everything first hand. I loved reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Welcome back to Brooklet where there is something in the water that breeds the best men that the girls can help but to fall. Terrance is one of the men of Brooklet we cannot help but fall for and Grace certainly has. She has had a crush on her brother’s best friend for a long time and Terrance has been keeping her at a distance. When Grace leaves for college it helps Terrance finally find his way and figure out what he wants. All it takes is one summer for Grace and Terrance to find their way back to one another but they both must make some hard choices when it comes to their future. Their chemistry is combustible and their love is timeless. I loved Terrance throughout the story and Grace was a little hard to absorb because of her stubborn attitude and maturity level. I love that we get to see a lot of the old characters from previous books and that the love with each couple is still going strong. This is a great story and I love to see the family bond growing stronger.
I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

.A. Harms has always been one of my go to authors and I have been reading her stories for years and I have yet to be disappointed. Entice is no exception! The characters that she writes are so human-like you feel like you know them and you become invested in their lives. I find myself yelling at them at times and crying with them at times, but I am always, always happy that I read the story when I am done. Grace and Terrance will keep you trying to read as fast as you can so you can find out what happens next, but at the same time wanting to slow down in order to enjoy the story longer. I love getting a little glimpse of the previous characters because they definitely add to the story. This story has a little bit of everything heat, fire, anger, torment and best, but not least LOVE!

The push and pull was heated…
A bit of forbidden and a whole lot of steam meant Grace and Terrance’s story was full of all the ups and downs you’d expect. I love this series for the friendships, the family, and the realness that exists. These are not perfect people in lofty mansions but instead, completely relatable…
Grace was lashing out at the restrictions that love have placed on her. Not that she doesn’t appreciate and adore her family but rules had kept her from a man she waited for way too long. She’s throwing in the towel and admitting it wasn’t going to happen. Of course, that’s when Terrance finally got it. Put up or cork it, dude, he had a choice to make…. Fast!
The friction and anger thinly masked the desire and love between them and watching them figure it out was a whole lot of fun… Stubborn meet brick wall? Oh yes, the fireworks were perfect!
If you haven’t read this series, start anywhere – you can’t go wrong. I’ve read them all though and suggest you start right at the beginning and enjoy the journey. I sure did!

Grace has been in love with her brothers best friend Terrance for years but he has never thought he was good enough for her. He is damaged and feels undeserving of her. After accepting he will never be hers she decides to move on but this is when he realises that he loves and needs her.
This was a sweet and heartwarming story that makes it a great page turner. You will want to shake one of them at different points.
The chemistry between Grace and Terrance is off the charts hot, the storyline is fun and full of family, friendships, humour and love.

Stephannie 4 Star Review:
Grace has always loved Terrance, her brother’s best friend. But she gave up trying to have something with Terrance and went away to college. Terrance was too afraid of pursuing her because he didn't want to lose his job with her dad and his best friend her brother.
This is a cute story of falling in love with your brother's best friend. My favorite part was when she came back for the summer and brought a guy with her. Terrance didn't handle that very well and he was eating his words. It gave a little bit of a chase to the story and put a fire under Terrance to make a move or lose her forever. Loved it.

Lust or Love
Grace has had feeling for her brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember. He seems to never notice her, he’s never affected by her being around. All she wants is him to notice that she’s grown up and isn’t the little girl everyone treats her like. She can never do anything because there is always a brute of a man there to run every man away.
She doesn’t know it but he notices her but she’s my best friend’s little sister… Rhett would never accept this. Her father is my boss, he would kill me!

It was great stepping back into this world again. I love small town romance novels and I honestly can’t seem to read enough of them. This book had me cheering hard for Grace. After wanting Terrence for so long, she shoots her shot but it blows up in her face. What had me cheering for her was rather than being all up in Terrence’s face about a relationship between the pair - she moves on.
But then there is the part as to why Terrence doesn’t jump at the chance to be with her. As all the reasons why are revealed I totally understood where he was coming from. And as his defenses crumble, my cheering then moved to him because if anyone deserves a HEA it was definitely him.
Brilliant storytelling as usual and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Entice has you enchanted right from the very start. I love spending time in Brooklet and Grace and Terrance made the time there even better. This best friends sister romance is one that has you on the edge of your seat as the emotional turmoil of will they or won’t they swirls around you. It is angsty, passionate and at times filled with witty banter. A story of family, friendship and a love so deep you just can’t escape it. Their story was romantic and at times Terrance will have you swooning with his declarations of love for not only Grace but her entire family too. The relationship between Terrance and Reed adds another depth to this story that steals your heart. A beautiful country romance that ticks all the boxes.
October 17, 2022
This series is one of my favorites! This book is definitely up there with one of my favorites of the series. Terrance is Grace’s brother’s best friend. They have such strong chemistry and feelings for each other, but Terrance does not want to go against his best friend. Grace is tired of her brother and Dad being so protective, she has strong feelings for Terrance, but after something happens she leaves town for college. These two are absolutely amazing and such great characters. I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
November 2, 2022
It’s so good to go back and visit old favorites… this town is where I fell in love with this authors words. Reed is just as charming as he ever was, and over the top protective… lol.. poor Grace didn’t stand a chance until the man of her dreams finally decided to make her his. It wasn’t always easy on Grace’s heart BUT she knew what she deserved and refused to settle. Seeing Terrance grow and become the man he knew she deserved was so awesome…

Terrance and Grace are the perfect pairing. She's sassy with a heart of gold and he's sexy and stubbon. They have an amazing chemistry and a passion to die for.
Grace is Terrance's bestfriends little sister, which make the feelings he has for her difficult to do anything about but he needs to do something before he loses her forever.
Its great being back on Brooklet. C.A Harms' words make this a definitive must read.

This is the 4th book in this amazing series, and this is Terrance and Grace’s story. Grace is sweet, sassy, and stubborn, and has had a crush on her brother’s best friend forever. Terrance is haunted by demons, and thinks he is not good enough for Grace. Fate has destined these two to be together, but with the push and pull between them, Grace decides it is time to give up and move on with her life. This is a beautifully written story which has undeniable chemistry, and is fun, intriguing, and with family, friendships, humor, witty banter, tension, acceptance, and love, which leads to a heartwarming and compelling page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Welcome back to Brooklet GA
Terrance and Grace have had a crush on each other since they were kids, BUT Rhett Graces brother and Terrance's best friend held him back.
I love how Terrance was strong and stayed away, His love and respect for both Rhett and Reed was strong and in his mind loving Grace would mean losing them,
This story was so good I really lved it

Grace and Terrance have an attraction like no other. Grace has always wanted Terrance and when the time comes she lets it be known. Terrance though has been through more than anyone knows. He keeps his demons to himself and try's to make the best decisions. He is attracted to Grace and has wanted her for a long time, but his friendship with her brother can't be broken. When Grace finally has enough and chooses to move on can he accept it? These two are so passionate about one another and they will both work to mend a bond that they have always had. When Terrance's past comes back and he keeps Grace? I just loved this story and the hard work both of these characters had to go through in order to see what was right in front of them. Can they have their happily ever after?
October 15, 2022
This is a heartwarming story about two people who have always belonged together and it was great to see them get out of their way and realize that the only place they belong is with each other. The characters are well written and the overall storyline was a great read. CA Harms really knows how to pull her readers in with every word that she writes. I can’t wait to read more books written by this author.
October 18, 2022
I absolutely love the Brooklet Dreams series and all CA's other if I'm totally honest lol
But this one is amazing. I love how we get to follow Grace through all the books and see how she goes. I was praying for Terrance to man up!!
