From New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a flirty new standalone about falling for your older brother's best friend.
There’s pretty much only one rule when you’re a guy.
Don’t be a douche.
Turns out, the fastest way to break that rule is to fall for your best friend’s sister.
Ava’s brilliant, sharp-tongued, gorgeous, and five years younger than me.
She’s the sexual equivalent of running with scissors. In a word, she’s dangerous. And completely off-limits.
Falling for her could ruin everything.
Yet I can’t seem to stop, even when her company is threatened by a lawsuit, and my promotion hinges on representing the opposing client—and winning.
I can’t see a way out of this mess that doesn’t end in a broken friendship, a broken heart, or a ruined career.
I may have broken the bro code when I fell for Ava. But do I have the balls to handle what comes next?

My Thoughts:
I found that I
laughed more with this version of the book than the e-book version. It might
have something to do with having the perfect pair of narrators reading to me.
They help me getting a better picture of who these characters are. They're able
to add in more inflection and emotion than I could while reading. It's a great
book to listen to while on vacation, on a long trip or while outside/inside
doing the necessary chores that need to get done.
This is told in the first person so we really get a sense of what our main characters are thinking. But what's great about this version of the book is that our narrators read like a duet. I'd say this version was also a page-turner but since there are no pages I can't really say that. I can say, however, that it was very tough to stop before the book was done. If I had the time I would have preferred to listen to the book in one sitting but with life as it is that just wasn't possible. But as soon as it was possible I was back to listening to more of the story.
We have a slightly older man with a slightly younger woman. You feel the differencemore with the book than the audio version. It may even remind you of back in the day when you had a crush on a friend of your brother's. I think there's even more of a sense of family here than what I felt when I was my own narrator. It ended the same though because it has me looking forward to what our author has in store for her readers next.
