The Greene Family series just keeps getting better and better- every book more deeply capturing my heart for this lovable, humorous brood and all their lovestruck antics. Piper Rayne so effortlessly marries the sweet and the heat in their love stories, delivering heartwarming, humorous, and addictively consumable romances that inspire all the feel-good butterflies. My Sister's Flirty Friend is yet another charmer - witty, sexy, adorable, and so fun. I loved it from start to finish!
I was so excited for this story- especially Jed, and he did not disappoint. The commitment-averse brewery owner has his life turned upside down we he discovers he’s the new guardian of Emilia, the three year daughter he never knew he had. And that’s some heavy stuff- her mother has died, and he’s angry and frustrated that he never knew he had a daughter- and it’s in this state of emotional chaos that has him turning to Molly Monroe- a no- no since she’s not only an employee at the brewery, but also his sister’s best friend. Their flirtation could be a great outlet from the heaviness of his life- only challenge is that Molly is catching deeper feelings- and there is a little girl to think about.
Jed is just delicious. A bit of a bad boy, charming but frustrating at times. His walls are up high- and I loved how his connection with Molly and his love for his daughter inspire an open heart- we get some much needed vulnerability from him and we move beyond his detached bravado into a swoony, loving man. And, I just adored Molly- and I loved getting to explore a heroine like her- liberated, not demure, in touch with her needs. She’s got a bit of a reputation, and PR gives her a meaningful backstory that explains her need for connection. These two certainly have a hefty amount of baggage, so their coupling is complicated, more angsty in places, but their connection is undeniable, even though their romance is almost destroyed by their fears.
Per usual, we have the well-intentioned but super meddlesome loving family of matriarch geriatrics and loads of siblings who show up for some comedic relief and some well-timed, sage advice and support. I just love this whole big brood- and this one is definitely a favorite in this amazing series!

Best friend’s brother? Check. New single dad to a toddler? Check. Crazy but loyal family? Check. Jed and Molly have a bit of past that goes back to high school. Things didn’t go very far but their flirty banter continued when they started working together. Jed gets the shock of his life when he discovers he is the father of a toddler. He engages in some stress relief with Molly swearing it is a one time thing.
I loved Molly and Jed’s flirtation and how it evolved throughout the story. Molly was feisty and brave and I am so glad she started to stick up for herself and put her feelings first. She helped Jed with his daughter, helped them connect, and helped him mature while still becoming her own independent person.
There is lots of heat, sweet moments, a summer bash and a brand new family that is trying to figure things out. Can’t wait to read more on this family!

Jed finds out he has a three year old daughter whose mother just died and has no other family. Molly, his sister’s best friend and employee at his brewery, hook up to release his stress over the situation.
She’s always liked him but he can be a dick to women. It was frustrating when he kept ignoring his daughter to hook up with Molly instead of just spending time with his new kid.
The grandmas get involved to have Molly help Amelia with her speech issues (trauma related) and they end up spending a lot of time as a faux little family. Neither one believes in marriage because of their issues with their parents but end up becoming a family unit in the end.
It was cute to watch Molly and Amelia grow close, even with Jed being frustrating at times.
There’s were several spicy scenes right off the bat but they teetered out once the story with his kid got going.

** I WAS GIVEN AN ADVANCED READERS COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW **
I am a sucker for a surprise baby, single parent, small-town love, and best friend's brother romance. Also a huge sucker for anything Piper Rayne puts out so giving this a five-star was not a hard choice for me.
Seeing as we got small hints as to Jed and him becoming a father in My Vegas Groom and the Seasonal Novella. Seeing it all come together was the best I felt.
I was slightly confused at the start of this book because I thought we had established he found out he was a daddy but then quickly learned that it truly was the origin story. Seeing how Jed and Molly came to what they were and how they really do support each other and it went quickly from Best Friends brother to a Friends to Lover story, Which I also do not hate so again, not really surprised at the 5 stars I screamed to give it.
I love Molly and how she doesn't let the past, or what her mother did, define her as a whole. I love how she stands her ground and knows her worth when Jed tried to push past the boundaries she has set. This is all the good rolled into one and I cant wait to see how they grow more and more while watching their siblings fall in love.

I have been looking forward to this book so much! Let me tell you it did not disappoint! I loved Jed and Molly! I was sucked in right away! This book was a one sit read for me! I have loved the entire Greene Family series so far! If you haven’t read the other books I highly recommend them! That being said this is a standalone in the series. You don’t have to read the books in order, but with the mention of other characters throughout the books I say read them! You won’t feel lost if you don’t though! There was no long drawn out drama in this book. I was not ready for this one to end!!! This was the story that went by too fast and when it was over you’re left with wanting more. Not in a bad way, in a way you’re not ready to let these characters go. The ending will definitely get you hyped up for the next book! I know it did for me! I can’t wait! I absolutely recommend this book!
Received a arc for a honest review.

| My Sister's Flirty Friend is a fun read. I like it more than I expect. The story is sweet and have a lot of cute banter.
The chemistry is hot. Miss Rayne does not put sex scenes in a lot of abundance. Just here and there to summarize the connection between the characters. I also like the small town vibe surrounding the story.
Overall this is a great read.

I have been WAITING for Jed’s story and this does not disappoint! Instantly fell in love with it.
Jed and Molly work together at Truth or Dare Brewery. Molly is also best friends with Jed’s sister, Nikki. They have known each other since Jed and his siblings moved to Sunrise Bay and there was connection the moment they met, however, it was high school and Jed was kind of a jerk. Years later, Molly still harbors a crush for the man.
I love the chemistry between them. There is plenty of heat that will melt the pages, but I also love that they have a deeper connection. Molly is there for Jed as much as he will let her be there while he his adjusting to a new life. There are so many sweet moments between them, but not everything is smooth sailing. Both Jed and Molly have things in their past that they need to overcome before they can truly move forward.
Like the previous books in this series there is plenty of Greene Family fun and of course, more shenanigans from Ethel. I can’t wait to return to Sunrise Bay for the next book!!
