A red-hot forbidden romance novella! Indulge in this ultra sexy best friend's brother delight!
Some women are just forbidden.
Like—off the top of my head—MY SISTER’S LIFE-LONG BEST FRIEND.
Sis has made it patently clear that Vanessa is hands-off, as in keep my ladies’ man paws far away from her clever, go-getter best friend who’s ready for the real deal. That should be an easy guideline to follow, except Vanessa is deliciously flirty, easy to talk to, and laughs at my jokes. Translation – my libido has been craving her many, many years. So many that we might have stolen a kiss or two.
Can you say pent-up, crazy, raw desire?
That’s exactly what we’re both feeling when the storm of the century hits and it’s 10 inches of snow with Vanessa and me trapped in a cabin all night long…
The trouble is—Vanessa isn’t interested in my playboy ways, and I have one night to convince her that I’m the real deal.

My Review:
In this story we get to meet Shaw and Vanessa who are connected by Perri (Shaw’s sister and Vanessa’s best friend). Although they have been friends for a while, it has always been clear to Shaw that Vanessa is off-limits, but that hasn’t stopped him from wanting her. On the other hand, Vanessa’s loyalty lies with Perri and she can’t do anything about her feelings for Shaw because she is afraid of what Perri might say. So the two have been avoiding what they have for each other and with Perri’s wedding on the way it has become a race for some very interesting matchmakers to get the two of them together. Yet neither expected to get stranded in a cabin when a storm hits and now they have to face each other and find out if what they feel is mutual or not.
I absolutely loved reading this story, it was sweet and swoon worthy! Now since it is a novella we don’t get to read an extended version of the story, so the pace is faster but well thought out. Blakely managed to deliver yet another story full of interesting characters and storyline. Shaw is everything you would want in a leading character, he is charming and has a way with words to leave you swooning for the guy. He is also a very sexy firefighter who loves what he does every day no matter how risky it can be. Vanessa has an interesting taste in fashion and owns a bowling alley. She is cool and has a charming personality. So it’s no surprise that the two would click right away. Their chemistry is instant and undeniable. But they maintain loyalties to those that they are closest to and that is Perri. It was nice to see how they are close to their siblings and to their friends. Previous characters make appearances but this can be real as a stand alone. All in all, if you are looking for a short story full of swoon worthy moments then I would highly suggest reading this novella and any other books by the author. You will not regret it! :)
