The leap from friends to lovers means they have everything to gain…

or everything to lose…

Colleagues, confidants and best friends for years, Flynn and Sabrina have never crossed that line. Until one searing Valentine’s Day kiss. And when circumstances force Sabrina to move in with Flynn…that line disappears. But becoming friends with benefits must stay a secret. Because if word gets out, they’ll be risking their professional reputations and their relationship…

Deliciously sexy! A best friends to lovers story was an excellent way to kick off the Bachelor Pact series! We meet Flynn and Sabrina, but also get to know the other guys involved in the pact who will be in the future books. The characters were developed well with a believable air to the transition of their relationship. Fast paced, sexy and oh so fun! Cant’ wait for more in the series!

Flynn Parker needs his best friend Sabrina by his side desperately right now, so when she offers to be his side-kick in a spell away from the office that he’s not looking forward to, he agrees to her plan. They set out to spend their days together, but a spur of the moment kiss on Valentine’s Day leads to a change in stature mighty quick!

Sabrina Douglas adores Flynn. She’ll do just about anything to get him over this hump he’s about to hurdle, but discovering they have an attraction between them is quite a distraction. They can’t let this get out or they’ll never be able to work together again. Will their time together be enough, or will they still be hungry by the time their fling is up?

Harper Winston’s brother has disappeared. Pursuing his dream of sailing the Caribbean, Michael hasn’t responded to texts or emails in days. When even the Coast Guard can’t find him, Harper is forced to take desperate measures. Which means going to Chase Garrett, once her brother’s best friend, now the only man she can trust…or so she hopes.

As the successful owner of Maximum Security, Chase has learned to trust his gut. He knows Harper’s father is mixed up in a deadly business, and suspects there’s more to Michael’s disappearance than meets the eye. Getting involved again with the Winstons goes against everything he stands for, yet old loyalties die hard. As the case draws him closer to Harper and deeper into the Winstons’ snarled crime family, he is forced to put everything on the line to keep Harper safe…and both of them alive.

Exciting suspense! The action starts quickly with this book and continues throughout. The characters are interesting and well-developed, and the story line kept my attention. A solid read!

Harper Winston needs help. Her brother set out to sail the Caribbean alone and she hasn’t heard from him in days. She knows something has happened because she made Michael promise to keep in touch and she knows he wouldn’t be playing games like this … not with her. She knows just the man to contact, but she’s not sure he’s going to agree to help her.

Chase Garrett was once Michael’s best friend, until destruction and lifestyles didn’t exactly mesh between them anymore. As the owner of Maximum Security, he understands why Harper comes asking for help, he’s just not so sure he wants to get mixed up in her family drama again. He has no doubt that her brother is in danger, but his biggest suspicion leads right back to the shady business dealings of their father.
