I thought this was an interesting second chance for Logan and Amber. I liked that Logan wanted to get Amber back years later and get their second chance.

Best Friend’s Lil Sis is the first book in the Forbidden Love series by Katy Kaylee. I enjoyed this forbidden love story about Amber and Logan. They first got together at the beginning of the summer when he was home from college with his best friend and her brother Jordan, and she had just graduated high school they first got together. It was her first time and it was magical. But this is not a fairytale and there was not walking off into the sunset together. So five years later when the opportunity presents itself Logan is ready to make Amber his again, if only it was that simple.
I did enjoy this story but I have to be honest and say that it was too long. There were some points where I found myself skimming as it was getting a bit boring. Then it would pick up the pace and hold my attention again.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Love takes a detour, fate gets love back on the right route
Best Friend’s Lil’ Sis by Katy Kaylee is a very detailed telling of Amber and Logan’s romance. Highly emotional, this book takes the reader on a detailed journey of new love, heartbreak and love renewed. This author developed wonderful characters with great emotional depth but with plenty of flaws that creates the many ups and downs throughout.
Overall, an interesting read with plenty of steam, heart and the HEA Logan and Amber have been dreaming of.
I truly enjoyed this story about Amber & Logan! The only thing keeping it from a five star, was the mistakes that I ran into. It is unfortunate when i need to reread paragraphs because the names or spelling are off.
That being said, i loved all of characters in this story. Logan & Jordan have been best friends forever, and Amber is the little sister. Logan moves in with Jordan’s family after his parents die in a car wreck. This story is not for the faint of heart, it is filled with a young couple exploring their newfound sexuality. Making hard decisions about their future, and losing each other in the middle of it all. Five yrs later, Logan is back in LA, after an internship and starting his own business. Upon his return, he finds out that Amber has a child named Bradley. This little man is a spitfire and i absolutely loved him! He knows that he wants to be a part of their lives, but can he get her to trust that he wont ever leave her again? This book was well written as far as character building and story line. It is filled with angst, deception, anger, ultimate sexual experiences and a beautifully finished love story. Check it out today!
A wonderful HEA style romance book that keeps you reading till the end. I was surprised by how much of the book was written for the earlier portion of the story that took place during their original relationship. I liked how flushed out the story was with details and how well-rounded the characters were. They felt like real people and reacted like real people to the situations that popped up even if you want to hit the character in the head for a stupid decision or two. It showed how messy life can be and how one choice can have a ripple effect.
Really cute story with a great story line and a HEA. Will definitely be searching for more by this author.

Amber dreamed of going to Yale but fell in love with Logan. Logan was best friends with Amber’s brother and lived with their family when his own parents died. Amber gave up Yale to be with Logan and applies to UCLA. Logan got a paid internship in New York and left for it. after breaking up with a then pregnant Amber.
This is one hot steamy romance that keeps you hoping the two main characters will get together. The author carefully crafted amazing characters who are sensitive, smart, flawed, ambitious and personable. The storyline is broken up by time, the first part ends and their story picks up five years later. It is easy to read but is filled with emotional drama as the characters try to deal with their internal fears and insecurities and obstacles put up by each other and their family. There are hot steamy explicitly sexual scenes that are expertly woven into the storyline. If you like the hot sexy romances, you will enjoy this one.
Best Friend’s Li’l Sis
By Katy Kaylee
Main Characters: Logan and Amber
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
3 out of 5 stars
This might have been a good book if the author would have taken more time to have beta readers, better editing and for goodness sake get better proofreaders. Just too many mistakes to be an enjoyable read.

Logan and Jordan have been best friends since childhood. When Logan lost his parents in a tragic accident, Jordan’s parents took him in and he became one of the family. Because of this, Logan cannot act on his feelings for Amber, Jordan’s younger sister. As she is getting ready to go to Yale, Amber lets her feelings for Logan be known to him. As they embark in a hot and sexual relationship, they both realize their love for each other, but decide to continue to hide it from everyone. Now she’s decided to stay in California and go to UCLA instead of Yale, just to be close to Logan. Everything is fine till Amber comes across his journal and reads that he is planning on going to New York to accept an internship. She loses it and tells him she never wants to see him again.
Fast forward six years and Logan is a self made millionaire running his own company. Now he is expanding to Los Angeles, going there for a month to start hiring employees. When Amber shows up as a prospective new employee, Logan is delighted, since he’s never stopped loving her.
On the other hand, Amber is not thrilled about the situation. She also has secrets that Logan would not be happy about.
This was a well written story of second chance at love. I felt Logan was a coward for skipping out on Amber and the rest of the family, but he did redeemed himself in the end.
This is an emotional love story between Amber and her brother’s best friend Logan. Logan and Amber have known each other since they were little and when they were older they had a secret relationship. He heads to New York it changes everything for them both. When he comes back will it be too late for them? There love story is filled with drama, heartbreak, secrets, twists and turns, and a love that is meant to be.
I really think this is a a great story . The characters are fantastic . It is very well written . The story is a beautiful and emotional second chance romance .
It is heartbreaking an heart mending a very enjoyable story .
It has all the feels . I highly recommend reading .

I will admit that I made it to about 65% of the story before I DNFd. Why did I keep reading for that long? Morbid curiosity, I guess? I dunno.
First of all, it’s important to note that more than half the book isn’t about grown-up Amber and Logan as the blurb would lead you to believe, it’s about young and stupid Amber and Logan, who are all flushed with the dewey ignorance of first love. Amber is just out of high school, and Logan is college-aged. Here’s what bothers me about young Amber and Logan:
Unrealistic virgin sex:
They’re both virgins when they start having sex, but they’re somehow really great at it—no pain, no awkwardness, no self-consciousness. These two can go at it like porn stars all night, giving each other multiple orgasms with ease. Sure, why not? Totally realistic.
While we’re on the subject of sex…
And while we’re on the subject of the unrealistic virgin sex, there’s some gross stuff here that just smacked me in the face while I was reading. Stuff like her “slobbering” on him during a blow job (there’s nothing sexy about slobber), and how her, ahem, lady bits were “bulging”. Again, nothing sexy about “bulging.” (And for the record, if your lady bits are bulging, I suggest you see a doctor. Like, immediately)
Then there are a few mentions in the book of him grabbing and “jiggling” her ass. For all the guys who are in the reading audience, let me give you this piece of advice. Don’t, under any circumstances, jiggle a woman’s ass during foreplay. You can grab her ass, you can squeeze her ass, and under the right circumstances you can smack her ass, but jiggling is never OK. You’re welcome.
Also, when young girlfriends are talking to each other, they’d never refer to losing their virginity as being “deflowered.” Why? Because they aren’t in Downton Abbey, that’s why.
And apparently safe sex isn’t a concern for these two. Because, sure, why wouldn’t two supposedly super smart characters engage in lots of unprotected sex? Makes total sense. (You can’t see it, but I’m rolling my eyes. Lots.)
Of course she changes her whole life for a boy:
Amber gets into Yale. She decides not to go. Why? Mostly because she doesn’t want to be away from her new boyfriend. If I could’ve reached through my Kindle at that point and smacked her across the face, I would’ve.
Stupid break-up:
They break-up in the most dumbass way possible. Basically, she violates his privacy, reads some stuff of his that she had no business reading, and breaks up with him. He flees the state. She doesn’t even apologize for the horrible violation of his privacy because her little feelings got hurt and she’s too much a giant baby to talk through her emotions like a grown-up.
When the story finally jumps 5 years into the future, I figure, hey, maybe I won’t hate these two stupid kids when they aren’t stupid kids anymore.
Turns out adult Amber kept a secret from Logan that she had NO BUSINESS keeping from him and he ends up looking that secret right in the face and is too stupid to figure out a truth that is so ridiculously obvious anyone could have seen it coming. I won’t spoil anything, but I can assure you that if you read this book, you’ll figure it all out LONG before poor dumb Logan does.
And I’m not even going to mention all the editing errors. If you’re a grammar Nazi, this one will make your HEAD EXPLODE.
So, long-story-short, I hated the hero, I hated the heroine, and I feel like all the readers who left glowy reviews of this book are somehow in on a conspiracy against me. Seriously, guys, what did I ever do to you?

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Amber Stark and Logan Townley. Amber has had a crush on Logan for as long as she can remember. Him being her brother’s best friend and an honorary family member does kind of put a damper on doing anything about it. Logan has wanted Amber for a while now and when he drunkenly confesses it they both try and chalk it up to just one of those things. One night changes that for them. They both know though that their future takes them somewhere else. Will they get the HEA they truly deserve or will the memory of that night be all they will ever have?
This is an amazing story. It does have its ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
This second chance brothers best friend romance between Amber and Logan will have you taking a huge sigh of relief when the forbidden romance comes out in the open.
Amber has dropped all her plans of going to Yale to be closer to Logan……….. Not only has she shocked her family with her impromptu decision but she has also found out that she might have made a huge mistake and ruined her future…..secretly reading Logan’s journal she finds out that he was planning to leave her……………………
Logan hasn’t forgotten the look of betrayal and hate on Amber’s face the last time he saw her. Its been five years and the wealthy business man still cant forget the only woman he has loved and now that he has seen her he will not let her walk away from the love they both shared………and still share for each other…….even though it might tear their family apart.

Logan has been best friends with Jordan his whole life. His parent’s would often get together and let the boys play together as babies. However, when his parents died Logan went to live with Jordan’s family. They took him in, and loved him just like their real children.
Amber is 4 younger than the boys. She’s always looked up to Logan always have a little crush on him, but, never doing anything or saying anything about it. The summer Amber graduates from high school, is also the same summer Logan has graduated from college. Her brother partied too much in his early college years, and still has 1 yr remaining.
Logan realizes his feelings are stronger than he thinks when he is watching her from across the room. Amber’s best friend Taylor mentioned to her that Logan was always watching her. Amber never believed her, as she wanted him and wanted that to be true.
Logan and Amber begin sneaking away together, making time for one another away from the family. They have more than just a casual fling, summer romance in full bloom. Logan knows this relationship will never have her father’s blessing, and he needs to end things with her, but, he wants her all the time, and can’t get her out of his system. Amber knows this relationship needs to be out in the open if they want it to survive. Logan leaves to go to NYC for an internship and leaves badly with his adoptive parents / siblings.
The story picks up 5 yrs later. Amber has finished UCLA and also has a 5 yr old little boy. Logan is back in California to start up a west coast branch of his company. Of course he runs into Amber. They basically pick up wear they left off. I was upset that Amber just opens her legs for him, not even hating him, yelling at him, or anything.
Amber winds up at Logan’s company and receives a new job and is really excelling at her job. However, she isn’t sure she can be there with Logan and their history. Amber hasn’t even been at the new company a week and they have already slept with each other twice! Amber keeps telling Logan they need to keep things professional at work, but, they won’t be able to keep things professional.
Even though I did receive an ARC Copy, I did seem to have more misspellings, names of characters were wrong, places of where they were living / going seems to be off.
