Friends First #3

Releasing February 15th, 2016
Entangled
Allison Hall is fed up with being a social outcast. Even at the tech company where she works for her brother and his best friend, Jared, she's the invisible nerdy girl. What she needs is confidence—and that requires a makeover and dating tips. And she knows just the man to help…
Jared Esterly is shocked when Allison asks for his assistance and turns her down, knowing that her brother—his business partner and best friend, Nick—would kill him if he dated her, even if it is just for practice. But when Al’s attempt to make changes on her own fails spectacularly, Jared reluctantly steps in. Things heat up quickly, and soon lessons move from the salon to the bedroom.
When overprotective big-brother Nick discovers Jared is dating Allison, their friendship and business partnership sour. Allison, consumed by guilt, must make a choice: stay with Jared, even though that means ruining his friendship with Nick and possibly his career, or leave the one man who sets her on fire.

I received a free copy for an honest review. This will in no way impact my review.
Another book in one of my favourite themes, the hero loving the best friend's sister. I have read so many books with this theme and none has disappointed me so far. This book too, made me fall in love with Allison and Jared. I loved Allison's makeover and Jared's reaction to it.But there was one point which irked me. It was Allison suddenly feeling too confident. It was too sudden. It could have been built up to it gradually.
Nick's reaction to their love affair was realistic and added the right amount of negative feel to the story along with Allison and Jared's struggle to give in to their feelings. This was a sweet story with a charming set of protagonists and all the fun along with the romance have made eager to try out the author's other works too.
My rating : 4/5
She
leaned her forehead against his chin, then tilted her head back,
parting her lips and inviting him in for another kiss.
And
he wanted seconds. More than he’d ever imagined. The soft blush
creeping over her face, the way her breasts strained against her
blouse as she tried to regain her breathing only encouraged him.
Holy. Fuck. With her it’d be too easy to forget where the hell they
were. And he didn’t like an audience. Not now. With Allison, not
ever.
But
that didn’t stop him from running his thumb over her bottom lip.
For a second he lost sense of where they were when her eyes grew dark
and her lashes fluttered gently over her skin. She looked so
beautiful, and that protective urge— or maybe he should just call
it what is is…lust—overtook him. He couldn’t picture her with
anyone but him. Fuck. He didn’t want her with anyone else. Screw
Nick. He’d deal with him later.
If
anyone would teach Allison how to please a man, let a real man do the
job.
Him.
She
was ready, so was he. He was willing, and so was she. And they were
both adults. “Al, I don’t want you with any of these men.”
She
sighed, sagging against him. “Are we really going to have this
conversation again? I—”
He
took her mouth in a hard kiss, parting the seam of her lips with his
tongue and thrusting inside, swallowing her gasp. She melted against
him. He slid his hands down her throat, past her shoulders, and lower
still until he curved his arm around her back and squeezed her rear.
She smiled into their kiss, and this time he melted. “Do I need to
rephrase?” he whispered against her mouth.
She
shook her head, their mouths still touching. “I really only wanted
one man in this room, but I didn’t think he wanted—”
“You
better be talking about me.” He leaned back just far enough so he
could watch the way her emotions flickered across her eyes.
Excitement. Uncertainty. Acceptance. She nodded, her lips parted and
moist.
“Are
you telling me—?”
“I’m
telling you I’ve come to my senses. Or lost them completely.”
