Blurb:

Growing up, I knew my older brother’s best friend thought of me as “Logan’s kid sister.” For me, though, our next-door neighbor, Colin, felt like anything but a sibling. Whenever I spied on him through my bedroom window, as he banged away, shirtless, on his drum kit, I felt sensations inside me I’d never felt for my actual brother. But when we moved away and Colin’s band took off like a rocket, I knew my tweener fantasies would never become a reality.⁣

Fast-forward nine years to my brother’s wedding, when I saw Colin again and we shared a secret, drunken kiss that rocked my world. The next morning, Colin blamed the alcohol. Said we should pretend the kiss, and my unfortunate text afterward, never happened. ⁣

Now that I’m heading to LA to work for Colin and crash at his place, though, all bets are off. I’m determined to make Colin swoon for me, the same way I’ve always done for him. Because no matter what he insisted, Colin’s body during our kiss, and the shocking thing he whispered into my ear right afterward, made it clear he doesn’t really think of me as his little sister, any more than I do.

This is a new-to-me author and I thoroughly enjoyed this story!

"The minute Amy is in my arms, I feel a tidal wave of affection for her - a rush of the same sort of adoration I always felt for her when we kids."

Amy O'Brien has been in love with her brother's best friend since she was a kid. In fairness, Colin Beretta doted on his little neighbour until he and his mother moved away and they lost touch. It isn't until years later, when Amy is all grown up, that he sees her again at her brother's wedding. By now, Colin is a superstar drummer with one of the hottest bands around, and surely out of her league? However, from the get-go, they click just like old times but with the added dimension of insane adult chemistry. Colin feels that Amy is off-limits but he can't help lusting after her. When they come to a no-strings agreement with an expiry date, all bets are off.

"As he approaches me, he looks feral. Primal. And hot as hell."

I adored this story! It was funny, hella hot and not too angsty. Amy and Colin had crazy hot chemistry and totally belonged together! I loved that she treated him like a normal person instead of being starstruck by his fame, and I adored that he was attentive and thoughtful of her. The little snippets showing Colin's affection for Amy when they were children were super cute! In the present, Colin was in some kind of major denial but I had to love his grand gesture to show Amy how how he really felt. Overall, a fab, fun and engaging read!
