5 Stars!
This story was sweet and sexy. I was addicted to this book and could not put it down. Alex comes into a bit of a predicament and her childhood friend Max offers to help her out, and by helping her out I mean be with her. This proposal is just convenient because it helps Max’s political image and helps Alex take care of her situation, but you can tell Max wants to be with Alex and thinks he just isn’t good enough for her. Alex I think, in my opinion, likes Max but is very leary because of his playboy ways and his past. Watching their relationship unfurl and the issues they face together is beautiful. The characters are wonderfully written, and I really enjoyed the concept of the story. I look forward to more from this author.
This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good friends to lovers story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book is part of the Serendipity Falls novels. You can read this book as a stand alone but I noticed there are previous characters that I hope to read about soon. I fell in love with these characters right from the beginning. They drew me into their story so much I could not stop until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Alex goes to her handsome best friend Max Buchanan which is the most eligible bachelor in their town. Max comes up with a great plan for the both of them. He tells her they should get married. Max would look like a family man for his campaign and Alex would be able to keep her job. Will their plan work or will someone find out the truth?
All the Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is so unique! I adored the story so much that i just could not put it down! This book is full of to the brim of great writing! Erin Bevan 100% thought every single second of this book out! It fits together so well, and the ending is wonderful! I definitely recommend giving it a read!
This is a romance story between two childhood friends Max and Alex (Alexandra) who know each other for 20 years. The story is set in a small-town setting. Alex is a girl with lofty ideals, someone who is committed to her work and her partner. Max, on the contrary is a playboy and does not commit to any relationships. One fateful night, Alex goes to a pub, gets drunk and commits a big mistake. She is about to become a single mother. Her job and reputation are in peril. Max is contesting for the Mayor of the town in the upcoming election and is convinced that a family image will help him win the election. So, when he sees Alex in such a pitiable position, his heart goes out for her. He proposes a marriage of convenience to Alex. Alex isn’t very comfortable with this as she thinks that this is a marriage of compromise. If it remains a contract between them or love brews between the two friends forms the crux of the story.
The good part about this book is though the characters are facing some grave problems, it is portrayed in a funny way, so the seriousness of the issues is not highlighted at all. It is a romance book, if anyone is in a look out for a light romance breezy read, you can check this out.
All The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan was a good 4 star read.
We start with Alex going out with a friend to get her ex out of her mind and waking up in bed with a stranger and not remembering a thing. She sneaks out and calls her best friend Max to come and get her.
Max has been Alex’s best friend for twenty years and is considered a playboy. They have always been there for each other. He wasn’t happy about the situation that Alex was in, but she has helped him in similar situations. You can sense that there may be a slight attraction between them.
As the story moves forward, Alex gets some shocking news that could affect her job. Max also finds himself in need of cleaning up his reputation and Alex may just be the solution. Can he agree to get her to marry him? Can they keep their feelings out of it?
Overall this was a good read with humor, emotion, and so much more. I really liked the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author. If you’re looking for a fun read this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.
All the Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is A Serendipity Falls novel. This book tells the story of Alex and Max. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I couldn’t put it down!
Alex has landed herself in quite the tough spot. Her situation may very well cost her her job. She’s at a loss for what to do. Max is Alex’s best friend and quite the playboy. He’s just lost a potential investor due to his lack of commitments. Max can help Alex just as much as she can help him. He proposes a marriage but Alex isn’t sure she can trust the changes Max assures her have happened. Will they be able to get everything they want or will their marriage of convenience ruin their friendship?
I absolutely enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down! You could feel Alex’s hesitation and caution but you could also tell she desperately wanted to trust in Max. I just couldn’t get enough of these characters.
All the Wrong Reasons: A Serendipity Falls novel is the first I’ve read by Erin Bevan. I thought this contemporary romance was very well written. The characters feel real and complicated. The story itself has emotion, drama, and enough twists to make you want to cry. It also had the perfect ending for Alex and Max. I look forward to reading more from this author.
This novel let me tell you…I finished it within a few hours. I LOVED it beginning to end. Yes, I didn’t like some things that happened to Alex but then again it’s a story! I absolutely love the fact that her bestfriend and her know each other so well that they can bail each other out of a situation without thinking. The writing was great and I actually fell in love with each character. The fact that this is a novel knocks it over the fence for me. If you are looking for a great romantic read, and not into the exotic romance, this is the novel for your!!! LOVED IT!!!
Have you ever read a book that felt like you were reading something that would actually happen in real life?!? That’s what this story was. It’s not the overly romantic best friend romance one thinks of when they hear of this trope. Instead it was the story of Max and Alex, two friends, who go some real crappy situations that test their friendship and potential romance. There are lies, half-truths, meddling exes, and a second best friend that doesn’t know whether to hug Alex or smack her upside the head for some of the decisions she has made. This is a story of realness and a reminder that people make dumb decisions when they think they are doing what is best for others.
I found myself rooting for Alex and Max (while wanting to knock some sense into them). Their story was entertaining and filled with ups and downs. But at the end of it all, their relationship was build solidly on the friendship they have shared for many years. It’s a reminder that the best relationships are those rooted in friendship. I really enjoyed this story.
Alex’s life is pretty good and consistent. She has lived in a small town her whole life. She has a good job, great family, and her best friend Max. Everything is great until one bad decision throws a wrench in her plans.
This is a sweet and fun story with a few twists and turns. Very enjoyable and interesting read.
All The Wrong Reasons

4 stars
All The Wrong Reasons was a really lovely contemporary romance read and one that I really enjoyed. I haven’t read anything by this author previously but I really liked her writing style, the attention to detail in the story was excellent and really made it easy to visualise what I was reading and feel the emotions the characters were putting across. I really loved Alex and Max, they had such a good friendship and I enjoyed reading their story as to whether they could take this to the next level. In my opinion I thought they were perfect for each other!!
I would definitely recommend this story and I cannot wait to read more from this author again in the future!
All The Wrong Reasons is the first in the Serendipity Falls series by Erin Bevan. If you are a fan of sweet romances, or just need a nice, light hearted, easy read then I would definitely recommend this story.
Alex and Max are best friends. They have a wonderful relationship which is easy to feel through the writing. When Alex goes on a night out she hooks up with a guy, hoping to help her move on from her last relationship. Waking up the next day she soon regrets her choice and calls on her best friend to rescue her.
A few weeks later Alex finds out she is pregnant, as a teacher in a christian school she knows that the job she loves is now in jeopardy.
Max has an obvious solution, to get married to him.
The story follows Alex and Max as they negotiate new feelings, and realise that their friendship alone might not be enough to see them through this.
I love the way Max treats Alex. It seems to me that he is very much a gentleman, despite his reputation as a ladies man.
This is my first book by this author, but I will definitely look out for others in the future
All the Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan a fantastic four-star read. This is number one in the Serendipity Falls series, and it shows great promise for a fantastic series. I enjoyed the authors way with words and was glad I picked up this new to me author as I am sure I will enjoy the rest of their works. Alexandra Mills and Max Buchanan are just such a great pair, they really are best friends, and I know they say you should marry your best friend, but should you really? Well you need to read this to find out. This romantic, but it’s also funny and has some really touching moments.
All The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is the first book in the A Serendipity Falls series. The story follows Alex and Max who have known each other since they were 7. The two have always remained friends but when circumstances occur in both their lives will they take the romantic leap?
This is a sweet romance with realistic characters. People are flawed, have pasts, and are not perfect but are trying to do the best they can do. I am always sweet on a friends to lovers romance. What could be better than a perfect ending to a lifelong friendship. This story is well written and I enjoyed the characters of Alex and Max and wanted to see both of them get a happy ending. This is the first book I have read from this author but look forward to reading more from her in the future.
All the Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan was a great book. Max and Alex have been friends since forever and told each other everything…or so they thought. Alex was in a long relationship, but her long term boyfriend cheated on her with her rival, Tawna. In an effort to help her get over her heartache, her best friend Shelby takes her out to a bar where she meets a man and ends up back in his hotel. Little did she realize that her one night stand would turn into a lifetime of consequences. Max needs to make this deal happen as he needs the funds it would bring to do several things if he becomes the new mayor. He has been in love with Alex for years and comes up with the plan to marry for convenience once he learns of her situation. Though he is playing for keeps, Alex thinks that it is all fake and they will be divorced in a few years. Max is going to do everything in his power to make Alex know that he is in for the long haul and not just for the moment.
All The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is a Serendipity Falls novel. This is a brilliant novel with entertaining characters and such a well written story line. I could not help but be drawn in to Max and Alex’s lives. I love a friends to lovers story, I love seeing the relationships progress into so much more. This is one example where are an author has done it so well. I was captivated by the story and these characters were just so engaging.
This is a new author to me but I loved how she moved the story along. The book has a great flow which takes you along with it. I found myself getting utterly lost in this story. This was a brilliant book and I am looking forward to exploring more of this authors work.
Erin Bevan has created a brilliant first book that encompasses humour, wit, humility and reality that just hooks the reader in from the get-go. We all love a friend to lovers’ situation and this book has all of that and more.
We are introduced to Alex first after a disastrous one-night stand and calls Max to come rescue her from the situation. Alex is a teacher in a Christian school who has some very strict rules and regulations, so getting pregnant from a one-night stand after her break-up from a 5 year relationship is not really a great situation to be in for Alex’s career or personal life.
Max has been Alex’s best friend since they were eight years old, he was a kid from the wrong side of the tracks with a hard childhood who has worked his way up to be a wealthy businessman attempting to get into politics. What happens if he asks Alex to marry him and will it solve their problems?
The plot is fun and keeps you interested, the characters are realistic and fun to read as they try and move through their situations. Their interactions as Best Friends are so authentic and easy to relate to that you can’t help but chuckle along with some of their conversations and then cry with them over some of their other conversations.
It’s such an interesting story, with twists and turns that you do not know how the story is going to end. Bevan has created a brilliant first book and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
