Kurt She’s smart, hot, and funny. My dream girl. There’s just one problem. She’s also my best bud’s little sister. The sparks have always been there, but law school had to come first. Now, we’re all back in the city and the same sparks fly every time I run into her. She needs a job and I need an assistant at the law firm. What could go wrong? I don’t know if I can hide my feelings any longer. I … my feelings any longer.
I know I shouldn’t go there, but I can’t help it.
Corina
My brother’s back in town, and I offer to share my awesome apartment. Imagine my surprise when his best friend Kurt walks in.
He’s still tall, dark, and handsome, and I can’t deny the pull.
Working together only complicates things. Long days and nights in the office can be dangerous.
When we’re not at the office, he’s always hanging around my apartment. To see my brother. Yeah, right.
All I know is, summer in the city is about to get a lot hotter.
After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

Let me start out by saying, I’ll be second guessing what people are doing in the sauna before I enter, HOLY COW that was one HOT scene…no pun intended. 😉
BACK FOR MORE is a story about two people that have always felt an attraction towards one another but it was sort of forbidden since Corina was Liam’s younger sister and Kurt knew that it would ruin their friendship if he ever made a move on her. That didn’t stop their almost kiss one night and the thoughts he’s had about her throughout the years even though they hadn’t seen one another in a while. Liam is back in New York and living with his sister until he can find a place of his own so their worlds collide again and this time the force it to much for them to ignore.
Corina knew that she wanted Kurt and she always had. You can feel the attraction through the pages of this story and I was instantly rooting for them. My one thought was when will Liam catch them, and I really hoped it wouldn’t be an ugly scene.
I am not going to give anything away by telling you if and how Liam caught them, or tell you if they had all kinds of wild sex while working together at the office. What I will tell you is that this was a HOT, QUICK read by a new to me author that had me adding a couple more of her books to my TBR shelf. Happy Reading!!!
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
*3.5 stars* First off I’ll start by saying I was NOT a fan of Corina at all. She kept reminding me of a child afraid to ask for another scoop of ice cream. She sat there and told Kurt that she was tired of the lying and secrets yet she’s the one that refused to tell her brother about her relationship with Kurt. Then she refused to talk to him and ignored all his phone calls. It took him making a stand for her to finally grow a pair. Kurt was nice and such a gentleman. He really stepped out of his comfort zone and opened himself up, in more ways than one. This was a good book but I think it was my dislike for Corina that made this book difficult for me.
The seventh book of the 425 Madison series introduces us to Kurt and Corina. I loved reading this brother’s best friends love story. I have really enjoyed this entire series and can’t wait for book eight.
What’s not to love about the 425 Madison series? Not much!
This was a great best friend’s sibling romance. Is that a trope?
Corina and Kurt = Awesomesauce
They had the best chemistry from the start.
How they work out their relationship is wonderful A little bit strange at times, but wonderful. I was a little befuddled at why they seemed to be worried about what Corina’s brother felt about her being involved with Kurt and not the fact that he got her a job. She referenced #MeToo but I don’t think that it was being referenced in quite the way that it should be.
I devoured this book, like a chocolate bar. Its a quick fun read, that definitely falls into the beach read category. I always read romance when I used to tan.
This is delightful series,quite entertaining and books are totally standalone
Corina has always had little crush on her brother’s best friend, Kurt.
When her brother comes to live with her, they are able to connect.When they start working together the things are getting hotter and spicer.
This is a nice addition to 425 Madison Avenue Series.
Happy Reading Everyone!
The book, I have been waiting in the series is finally out by my favorite author Sylvia Kane.
Working under your high school crush is trouble that too if he is your brother’s best friend it a bigger trouble.
Corina is just out her favorite marketing job and struggling to find a new job. At this moment her friend and roommate moves out the apartment they share in 425 Madison Avenue, the place where everyone finds their perfect love story. But Corina’s brother Liam enters as her savior when he moves to NYC to make a life and ready share the rent. The one thing Corina didn’t expect was Kurt, her brother’s best friend, her high school crush, enters with her brother.
Kurt has always wanted Corina but he was hesitant as she was his best friend sister but his attraction for her was never gone. Coming to know about her employment and single status he wants to enter more in her life. He offers her to be his legal assistant as he is in search of one and also by that chance, he can be closer to her. This time he is not just back, he is BACK FOR MORE.
Will both give in for their attraction? What will happen when Corina’s traumatic past wounds surfaces back? is the remaining which perfectly scripted in a hot and sweet romance by Sylvia Kane. I loved this story and recommending it to all romance lovers.
This was a decent book, but not my favorite in the 425 Madison series. Kurt and Corina have known each other forever since he’s her older brother’s best friend. She’s always had a crush on him and it turns out that was mutual, but Kurt was afraid of ruining his friendship with her brother. Things heat up quickly between them, though, and they can’t deny their feelings for long.
This book kept me interested; it isn’t a bad book by any means. I just wasn’t really feeling the connection to the characters like in others of this series. I did appreciate the cameo by Savannah from Two For Holding (while other residents of 425 Madison can make appearances in other stories, these are true standalones). I know there has to be tension and a conflict to overcome in a story, but these two seemed to manufacture their own conflict where one didn’t exist and I was as exhausted by their secret as they were.
In Back For More we meet Kurt and Corina. They’ve known each other for a long time but they’ve been hands-off in their relationship. Kurt is Corina’s brother’s best friend and the rule of never dating your best friend’s sister is something Kurt respects. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to start a relationship with her.
As the story goes on, the attraction heats and they can’t help but come together. Reading about them working out the dynamics of their relationship. They want it to become something more but friends with benefits is how it starts. The end if my favorite, I love how it all came together and Corina and Kurt got the ending they deserved.
This is an amazing series. With each book, I meet a new character that resides at 425 Madison and sometimes I get glimpses at characters from the previous book. Each book is short, easy to read, and has some heat.
3.5 Stars
A second chance with your brother’s best friend…this was a cute story with two of my favorite tropes!
From the moment Kurt enters Corina’s apartment for the first time you could feel the tension between these two come to life. It’s obvious that the old feelings are still there, but that whole “brother’s best friend” thing gets in the way. Of course, they end up giving in to their desire and now don’t know what to do about it…especially when “just this once” keeps turning into “just this once more.”
Of the two I did like Kurt much more than I did Corina. Kurt may have wanted to keep things quiet at first, but he quickly comes to realize that his feelings run deep and he’s willing to fight for what he wants, even if it means having to deal with Liam, Corina’s over-protective big brother who is also his best friend. Corina’s reactions to the situation at times had me frustrated – and I kind of wish her issues from her past relationship were brought more in to the story which, for me, would have made more sense when it came to what I considered some trust issues. But still, these two were cute together and easily had you on board with them getting their happy ever after.
I really liked Corina’s brother and her family. Liam was a great big brother and I loved his reaction when he found out about Corina and Kurt’s relationship. Corina’s mom had me cracking up and I loved how she saw right through things and offered some great advice to Corina.
This was another fun read in the 425 Madison Series, which overall has been entertaining and had some great stories. This book can easily be read as a stand alone though since the building and quick cameos of characters are all that really tie this series together.
Overall, a fun, quick read that doesn’t get too deep and leaves you with a cute happy ever after.

Corina has always had an interest in her brother’s best friend, Kurt. When her brother comes to live with her, she is able to reconnect with Kurt. When they start working together, well lets just say it gives greater opportunity to spice things up. This is a sweet, predictable romance and a nice addition to 425 Madison Avenue Series. Happy Reading Everyone!
ONE DAZZLING DELIGHT!!!
Oh Boy! Talk about going up in flames. A whirlwind of surprising events and a bevy activities catapult your spinning emotions blasting forward smoothly in this fascinating storyline and explosive plot. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few bumps and bruises bring this baby together flawlessly. The characters are authentic, relatable and realistic with personalities and depth that draw you in. Sparks fly as suspense and intrigue ensues along with one high octane, off the charts chemistry between to two main characters. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive that it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Sylvia, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
I’ve absolutely loved some of the installments in this series and some have been just o.k. for me. Luckily, I thought this one was fantastic, even after reading it twice! Kurt was the perfect blend of sexy, sweet, and successful while Corina was the seemingly sweet sister with a major sexy side to her.
The main premise of the book is that Kurt and Corina like each other, have crazy chemistry together, but fear her brother Liam’s reaction to them being together. I find it odd that this is such a common plot in books, the plight of two people wanting to be together but can’t because of a best friend being the brother or sister of the love interest, but it does add some drama for sure.
Other than the brother issue, there wasn’t a lot of conflict or deep layers to the plot, but this was certainly an entertaining read. Author Sylvia Kane made me totally fall for Kurt, and his big moment towards the end was amazing. It was impossible not to root for them and hope that they found their HEA.
Back for More is a fun, quick read that is a wonderful addition to this series!
*Thanks to Forever Write PR for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Another great installment to the 425 Madison series!
This one is a sweet forbidden brother’s best friend romance. Kurt is the big brother’s best friend and Y.U.M.M.Y. lawyer! He also happens to need an assistant…AND has had a crush on Corina for years. Little does he know, that crush might be reciprocal!!
It’s a fast paced, fun read with quirky characters that you want to root for!
Sylvia Kane has joined the writing team for the seventh book in the 425 Madison Series with Back for More. If you have ever had a crush in one of your big brother’s best friends or even a crush older guy then this book is for you. Like the other books in the 425 Madison Series, it a sweet romance with lots of heat.
To say that Corina is going through a rough patch might be an understatement. Her best friend is out of the country. Her last relationship ended very badly. She has lost her beloved marketing job and to top it off, her roommate just up and left Corina with an apartment in the exclusive 425 Madison building. Thankfully, her brother Liam has decided to move to NYC and moved in while getting settled. Their relationship is special so Corina is in no hurry for Liam to find his own place until the object of her high school crush comes walking through the door looking as beautiful as ever – midnight-black hair with wide, sturdy shoulders, a strong chest, and a touch that could melt the sun. What Corina needs is a job, a career – not another relationship so this crush has to end…now.
Seeing Corina had an odd effect on Kurt. She’s beautiful just like she was that summer when she was in high school when he came so close to kissing her. Corina is definitely not a little girl. She is a strong woman who needs a job and Kurt needs a legal assistant. Corina is smart and will catch on quickly so that could be the best idea that Kurt has ever had or it could be a recipe for disaster especially if Kurt can’t deny the pull that he felt toward Corina. After all, she was the one who got away.
Sylvia Kane has created a beautiful love story of two old friends becoming lovers. Kurt is kind and patient…willing to help Corina heal from her last traumatic relationship. Corina is cautious but Kurt makes her heart melt and her body sizzle so it becomes more and more difficult to deny the attraction. Back for more definitely lives up to the precedent set by the first six books in the 425 Madison Series. I give Sylvia Kane’s Back for More 5 out of 5 propellers. You will want to add it to your summer reading list!
Corina is a marketing grad whom has lost her job and her roommate (not a big loss on roommate). Her big brother, Liam, has moved back to town and has a job as a lawyer. He becomes her temp roommate. He reconnects with his best friend, Kurt, whom Corina has had a crush on in the past. Kurt and Corina are strongly attracted to each other and can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. Liam is very protective of “Cora” and always has been. Kurt offers Corina a job as his assistant and they sneak around to avoid alerting Liam to their activities. Will they bring their relationship in the open? When Liam disapprove and/or beat Kurt up? How will this end? Read this story to find out!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Corina and Kurt’s story is wonderful. Loved the best friend’s little sister romance. Great add to the series! I read an arc copy of this book.
Fantastic best friends brother story
Corina has a brother that recently came to stay with her. That brother had a best friend named Kurt. There has always been a connection between them but loving your best friends sister isn’t the easiest thing to do.
Now all grown up their paths cross again and this time it’s inevitable, they will be together.
They were sweet and kind, Corina of course terrified to tell big brother.
But at 425 Madison Ave love abounds and this story is no exception to that.
I enjoyed the book. There were some glimpses into the past and lots of wonderful dating fun now.
Sometimes in life we make assumptions about things that are going to happen before they do without trusting and seeing where life takes us. Being cautious is one thing but do we have the right to play mind reader when it involves other people and how they are going to react or should we trust and see how life plays out? This is a main component in this book. That’s what makes this story so real.
I enjoyed this book but felt it could’ve gone a lot deeper in details. In my opinion there were situations that weren’t fully explained and the ending seemed a bit rushed. That being said it was a story I could see happening in real life.
I don’t do spoilers that’s why there’s a blurb. I don’t think it’s fair to the author. It’s my job to tell you how the book affected me.
Corina is a girl that has been hurt before. She’s attractive, smart and not able to trust easily.
Kurt, is handsome, successful and has his own set of family issues that make him tend to be wary in life.
The secondary characters were interesting and I would’ve liked to see more development in them. I could see another book involving some of them.
All in all it was an enjoyable book.
Corina has always had a crush on her brothers best friend Kurt. She just got laid off from her job in marketing and her brother moves in with her. Kurt ends up in her apartment to hang out with her brother and ends up offering her a job at his law firm. Can she handle working with him all day every day? This is a fun summer read to take on vacation.
