She’s the woman he can’t live without.

The one he can’t risk screwing up their relationship by sleeping with her.

Linc Kingston doesn’t accept anything less than perfection. Not in his billion-dollar business or in his personal life. He has it all. Except one thing. His personal assistant and best friend in his bed, moaning his name. No matter how much Linc wants her, she’s completely off-limits.

Jordan Greene grew up the daughter of the housekeeper at the Kingston estate, where she met and bonded with Linc at a young age, despite their economic differences. But no matter how close they are now or how much their attraction simmers beneath the surface, they’re still from two different worlds. Besides, Jordan isn’t about to risk losing her best friend for one sensual night.

Jordan might be the only woman who can handle Linc and his domineering, bossy attitude, but beneath that gruff exterior is a vulnerable man who, despite his wealth, has had a less-than-charmed life. And when Linc’s father dies, she’s there for him—unwavering in her friendship.

Until one night of passion and a positive pregnancy test changes everything.

 

I’ve been waiting for this family! With the ultimate friends-to-lovers story Carly Phillips is bringing her A game as she kicks off her brand new Kingston Family series. The characters are delectable, the storyline is fast paced and attention grabbing and the depth of love between Linc and Jordan even when they are just best friends is gorgeous to watch. I can’t wait for more!

Lincoln is a sweetheart. He’s self-assured and used to getting what he wants but he wears it well and not in a condescending way. I love that he loves his family so much.

Jordan’s character grows and blossoms a lot during the story and I loved that. Watching her come to realize that she truly deserved everything in life was heartwarming.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys two highly intense characters who aren’t afraid to speak their minds that bring a whole lot of heart to a relationship.

NHL hotshot Torsten Hansen is a lot of things. My husband shouldn't be one of them.

One emotional night slinging tequila shots and singing karaoke with the Hawks defenseman turns into more than I bargained for. A wicked hangover, an eviction notice, and a marriage proposal.

If Torsten and I wed, he can fulfill a promise to his grandmother and the debt I'm drowning in will be paid by his trust fund. It's a win-win, an easy and straightforward arrangement between friends.

So what if my friend has piercing blue eyes, a sensual smirk, and a body that occupies my dreams? It shouldn't matter that Torsten understands my past and makes me feel safe.

Except it does. Because if I give my heart to my husband, how will I survive our eventual divorce?

 

Friends to lovers has never looked so good! With the third book in her highly addictive Boston Hawks Hockey series Gina Azzi brings on the steaminess when rugged party guy meets sassy go-getter and sparks ignite in THE FAKER!

Torsten is the guy everyone loves. He plays hard on and off the ice, but times are changing and his life is about to be in limbo.

Rielle is feisty and real and getting to know the softer underside of her was really sweet. I enjoyed her characters growth very much.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a side of drama with their hockey romance. You are always guaranteed a happily ever after, but it might not be easy getting there.

EXCERPT

 

I walk beside her, wondering if I’ve lost my damn mind.

 

What the hell was I thinking? Did I seriously just propose marriage to a woman I’ve spent a total of fifteen hours with, in group settings, over blueberry pancakes?
Yes, yes I did.
We’re quiet as we walk, both of us lost in our thoughts. Except mine swing from angry to needy to frustrated. I hate that Rielle questioned our friendship, as if I don’t give a shit about her. I know we aren’t close and don’t really know each other but does she seriously think I treat her the same way I treat puck bunnies? Her accusation stung and it shouldn’t have because it’s the perception I’ve spent years cultivating.
I just don’t like that it worked on her.
Then, there’s the fact that she’s obviously in some kind of trouble. Four hundred and seventy thousand dollars? Really? That’s not normal credit card or student loan debt. That’s serious, life-altering, damaging debt. Is someone trying to shake her down? Is that why she has bruises on her arm?
Jesus. I scrape a hand over my face, glancing at Rielle from the corner of my eye. She keeps her head straight ahead, her footsteps even, her shoulders pulled back. I couldn’t get a read on her if I was a fucking mind reader.
But marriage? No, I didn’t propose marriage. I proposed something different. A transaction. And she knows it.
