One night. One heartbreak. One man she could never forget.

Years ago, Brooke Snyder gave her heart — and her innocence — to Aiden Sterling, her best friend’s older brother. For one perfect night, he was hers. Then he walked away without looking back.

Heartbroken, she focused on her career, and tried to move on, while he was half a world away. But no man ever measured up to Aiden, and the one time she tried, ended in disaster.

Now, he’s back to help his ailing father, and avoiding him isn’t an option— not when they’re forced to work together and definitely not when she’s sleeping in the bedroom next to his.

The past crackles between them, charged with everything they never said and everything they still feel. Every look dares her to remember. Every touch reminds her exactly what she spent years trying to forget.

Giving him her body is easy. But how can she protect her heart… when the man who broke it is the only one who can put it back together?

My Review:

As the sixth book in The Sterling Family Series, Phillips delivers a second chance romance in Just One More Time. This steamy frenemies to lovers story will leave you wanting for more!

Having grown up among the Sterling family, Brooke Snyder has always been close with all of them. Her life along with her mom’s completely changed the minute the patriarch of the family bought the state they lived in. It was also the time Brooke met and fell for one of the Sterling kids, Aiden Sterling. He was everything she wanted, but just when he started to notice her, Aiden dropped the biggest news to the entire family. He was set to pursue his dream of being a traveling journalist and was leaving New York behind. Breaking Brooke’s heart in the process and destroying her trust for the man she once loved. But life has mysterious ways of working itself out and ultimately brings them back together. Now she is the Chief Operating Officer at Sterling Investments and will be working closely with Aiden as he takes on the role of temporary CEO of the company. Brooke has worked really hard to guard her heart for the past five years, yet Aiden seems to want to win her back for good. 

For the past five years Aiden Sterling has focused on his career as it took him all over the world as a traveling journalist. While uncovering stories, he is working on his biggest story yet. But not before witnessing what it could happen to those that are trying to do the right thing. Aiden soon becomes the target and his trip back home couldn’t come at a better time. His brother is taking a step back from his CEO duties while his pregnant wife gives birth, making Aiden the new temporary CEO of Sterling Investments. Yet, coming home brings him to the person he left behind all those years ago. The woman who still holds his heart no matter how much he wanted to move on. But Brooke ins’t interested to give them a second chance, so it’s up to Aiden to work his way back into her heart before it’s too late.

I really enjoyed reading Just One More Time, it’s clear that both of the characters have sizzling chemistry from the very beginning. But it’s also evident how much Aiden hurt Brooke’s heart and trust. He has to learn how to open up to her about what made him leave all those years ago. There is also the pending danger that he is in that could threaten those around him. With a level of suspense and lots of steamy moments, I would highly recommend checking out this story and the rest of the series!
