But Josh wants more than a friendship, he wants a relationship and all that goes along with it—her body and her love.Cait adores her bestie, Josh. Their friendship means everything to her, but she’d have to be dead not to notice how incredibly sexy he is. The idea of a … no-strings-attached arrangement seems ideal. She can have her cake and eat it too.
Is a friends-with-benefits relationship the perfect way for them both to get what they want
Sometimes redefining the boundaries of friendship by adding a little down and dirty can be just what’s needed to break out of the friend zone.

Escaping the friend zone can almost be an impossible feat but Josh is up for the challenge. Josh and Cait have been friends for awhile now and Josh has supported her through numerous ups and downs and has fallen for her during this time, the only problem is that Cait has friend-zoned him and Josh doesn’t know how to proceed in their relationship. What ensues is a heartwarming tale of two friends who slowly realize their feelings for one another. I love the beautiful friendship they started out with and how it slowly turned into something more. These two are perfect for one another and this book was so enjoyable to read.
This book is a cute best friends to lovers novella. I read this book last night, in roughly an hour and a half. Because I couldn’t put it down!
You know that feeling.. the one you get when the couple almost kisses, or when they finally kiss (or more). When you see that romantic scene in a movie. Your heart squeezes and explodes? I call that the feels.. and let me tell you, this book has “the feels” ALL THE WAY THROUGH!
My heart exploded at every little twist and turn, will they or won’t they.
Wait.. what just happened… nope back to more feels.
This was a well written, delightful, fun story. I’m so glad I read it, thank you Verlene! Another great read to add to my collection!
This was a fantastic sweet and steamy friends-to-lovers romance from Verlene Landon. Josh and Cait are both recovering from a broken heart; Josh because Cait hasn’t noticed him in a romantic way and Cait is going through a breakup. Be Supportive is a captivating must read that readers will fall in love with because of the chemistry between Josh and Cait and their sweet yet rocky relationship. I absolutely loved reading this book from Verlene Landon.

This is the first book I’ve read by Verlene Landon and it won’t be the last. Ms. Landon balances this best friends to lovers with humor and heat. Josh is the perfect best friend for any girl, however he’s hopelessly in love with Cait; always there for her when a romantic or family crisis arises. Cait’s been looking for a guy just like Josh, little does she realize that she’s in love with him too. Ms. Landon weaves a sexy tale of miscommunication, friendship, and love. I enjoyed this novella (and her use of the Magic 8 Ball) and look forward to more books from this author. Her writing is fluid, her characters endearing and likable, and her storyline is well-paced. A great fast, fun read.
Our story opens with Josh helping Cait get through yet another break-up, all while his own heart is breaking because he doesn’t think she’ll ever release him from the friend-zone. A weekend getaway at her family’s cabin turns into the perfect opportunity for him to make his case. Cait secretly wants more with Josh, but she’s convinced he would never want more than friends with benefits. I loved how devoted Josh was to Cait, regardless of her feelings for him
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.
They had been best friends for so long but he wants more, so much more. Can he get more? What if he suggests a friends with benefits situation? She must be blind not to see just what a hottie her friend is. Will it ever be more? Follow them and see

After loving Cait as a best friend Josh has finally decided it’s time to escape the friend zone (good luck buddy!). Cait thinks she wants things with Josh to be Friends with Benefits (yeah, like that’s gonna work). A weekend getaway starts things off, and things get sexy. I enjoyed the bits of humor in the story- especially the ongoing Magic 8-Ball. And of course, the sexy times are always fun. Loved the story overall.
Being placed constantly in the friend-zone is frustrating, especially when both partners the same but fear saying those may ruin the friendship. This is Josh and Caitlyn in a nutshell. These two were so frustrating but this book is definitely worth reading. Verlene is an amazing author and has never steered me wrong with her books.

This is a sweet romance that I really enjoyed, though it wasn’t nearly long enough to get much of a chance to get to know either main character. Their HEA comes after a few unexpected bumps along the road. It’s a terrific setup with plenty of chemistry; I just wish it had been a bit more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Oh Cait and Josh were so sweet. Both were having difficulty expressing their feelings for fear of ruining the friendship. Some of their interactions made me want to scream to just say what they needed to say. So glad they finally confessed. I only wish there would have been an epilogue to see some time into their future. But, because of this story, I found another author I like.
