Yeah... better come prepared to laugh your a$$ off with this one! Right off the bat you will cracking up with these characters... and that's just the supporting cast of characters. This is a pretty straight forward romance. Yes, it has that forbidden aspect, with her being his best friends sister and all, but it isn't filled with 'should we?' 'shouldn't we's?' or any of that rigmarole. No yo-yoing of emotions. There is a break up scene and the grand gesture make up scene, and just one little hiccup along the way. She is outgoing, open minded and the good kind of crazy. He is a serious workaholic who hasn't had time for relationships. Together they are magnetic. It's a fun(ny) story in it's own right, but with the addition of our favorite billionaire buddy's (who you'll know if you've read some of the other Billionaire books) putting in their two cents throughout, it is a special kind of hilarious. :D There is lots of sexy times, so be warned young readers. So, whatcha waiting for? Ready to crack a rib? Go grab this lovely written, easy to read, all round entertaining book hot off the shelf!

I love this couple, Lena and Theo story, their chemistry their interaction was amazing, I love the reappearance of characters I love. How Lena was looking for just a fling, and then she finds Theo and more surprises arise, giving this story another side. As always the humor behind Max Monroe writing is such a pleasure to have, this book is another nail for the Rom Com romance stories. I absolutely recommend it.

The character's inner dialogue is very annoying. This book leaves little to the imagination as we are told every detail in a; I think, I feel, she said, type of way. The way Pippa is portrayed is horrifying.

I had to finish this series. It's been light and fun and funny throughout. After the last book, I couldn't wait to hear about Cap's sister. He was so protective and pissed about any of his friends dating her, I knew this would be good.
Lena Hawkins, little sister of Cap and daughter of Hawcon's mogul and CEO, has always gotten anything she ever wanted. She grew up super privileged and it was both a blessing and her own detriment. She didn't actually feel the need to get out and look for a career until her late 20s after coasting her way through life after her high school graduation. To celebrate her moving back to NYC, she and her fashion school friends decided to spend a week in Italy where she meets up with mysterious Theo. They agree to a no personal information rendezvous but the two end up developing feelings before they separate. After they part, they end up connecting again by chance and resuming their relationship. But now with personal details, they learn Theo is one of Cap's best friends. Can they make it work now that they're in the real world?
This was fun but the female narration was bothersome. It was like she was trying to make everything sound sexy. So. Freaking. Weird. Regardless, I laughed a lot and couldn't probably ask for more than that!

I did not finish this book (stopped at 40%), I don’t really like books that have a billionaire as a main character because I feel that it is a bit unrealistic. I think this story had some potential if the main characters knew one another, and then fell in love rather than what this book had. I thought it was weird that the male MC did not know his BEST friend’s sister, especially in the days of social media! I think this book has some potential, but their needs to be some changes in the plot.

A girl with family money tries to make it on her own. A man who’s a billionaire & night clubs & hotels all around the world with his newly developed family’s company also happens to be bestfriends with the girl’s brother. They meet & she’s spunky & he’s “Mr. Serious” about everything besides her. They make rules & don’t tell each other last names as well as personal stuff. But he gives in & leaves a note under her rules about his true feelings for her, as well as his last name & number. They fall for each other & eventually when her brother finds out about them... it ends with a black eye. She freaks out because of her mother & breaks them up. Then she flies to Europe to go get him as well as propose to him. They ask one another the question & answer at the same time ending in a wedding BEFORE her brother’s wedding once again LoL
Her brother has been waiting 9months to marry his fiancée & since she picked out the date she hasn’t budged in moving it. And so far 2 weddings has passed & he’s losing it hahahahaha
