Blurb:
A game of seduction between two best friends goes deliciously wrong in an irresistible Oxford Novel that brims with wit and sexual tension. Library Journal hails Layne’s work as “exemplary contemporary romance.”
Brit Robbins knows that dating in New York City is hard—she just hoped to have it mastered by age thirty. But after yet another promising suitor says they have no sparks, Brit decides it’s time to torch her dating game and try a new plan. And who better to coach Brit through the art of seduction than the guy who first gave her the “let’s be friends” card?
Hunter Cross has always figured there’s nothing his best friend Brit can do to surprise him. But Brit’s request is a surprise he doesn’t see coming—and one he’s definitely not prepared for. Hunter and Brit have always been careful to keep things perfectly platonic, but the fake dates and faux flirting are starting to feel like the real deal. And soon Hunter realizes he has taught Brit too well. Not only has she become an expert at seduction, the man becoming thoroughly seduced is him.

My Thoughts:
Hunter Cross has a very relaxed and easy-going relationship with
his best friend. Brit Robbins doesn’t
seem to be recognized as the wonderful woman she is. You have to feel sorry for a woman who needs
relationship help. But our author also
makes the process funny. There are times
where you could almost feel the tension that’s developing between these two.
Can friends make it to the next level? I have to say that watching Hunter squirm at
times gave me a good chuckle. Brit did
feel uncomfortable at times and that can be a little sad – especially when she
seems so confident at work. A problem
for women is that men don’t come with manuals so we need someone to help us
figure out what is going to work and what isn’t until the final goal is
reached.
If you’re a lover of office romances than you might enjoy this
version. How about friends to
lovers? This might fit the bill for you
there. How about watching a relationship
build from an idea? You’ll have that
here. How about a book that can be
serious one minute, funny the next, and even frustrating? Yes, you can consider that here especially
since it goes all the way from beginning to end. How do you feel about a happy ending? You can definitely check that off the
list. This book may be part of a series
but it reads as a standalone but may be an incentive to see what the other
books are about – especially when the author is nice enough to give you a list.
