AmberHow do you politely refuse when the only guy to star in any of your dirty fantasies has just offered to put you up for the foreseeable future and your brother’s just accepted like you were in fact still thirteen and couldn’t make decisions for yourself? You don’t. And, you end up with a roommate who wears a very good elegant mask over the rough and tumble, bad boy core I remember far too … core I remember far too well.
Only, it’s ten years later and I’m even nerdier than I used to be. It’s ten years later and I couldn’t look worse. It’s ten years later and I can’t keep one guy. It’s ten years later and my brother still teases me mercilessly in front of him. It’s ten years later and Kit somehow looks even better than the guy I spent my formative years crushing on.
So, there’s not only the issue that he’s my older brother’s best friend, but also a sex-god this virgin can barely talk to. But that certainly never stopped me from drooling over him and it wouldn’t stop me now. He’s so far out of my league, I wouldn’t even clean in his league.
Except, there might just be a smouldering heat in Kit’s eyes that suggests he’s not quite as out of my league as I thought. Just maybe, this geek is about to get a whole lot of chaos.
Kit
When I find out about my best mate’s little sister’s situation, the offer is out of my mouth before I can stop it; Hawk’s like a brother to me even if Amber’s never looked twice at me. I could never tell if she was scared of me or hated me. But the deal is done. She’s going to bring her bedraggled self upstairs to my penthouse and live with me for as long as she needs.
I see the pain she hides away, I see the lack of confidence despite how smart she is, how good. If there’s something I’ve learned, it’s that confidence makes all the difference. So, it becomes my mission to help Amber find her confidence. But I find more than confidence in her and suddenly I’m seeing my best mate’s little sister completely differently.
I’ve never known what to say to her. She’s always been good and studious and sweet. She’s always been so far out of my league I wouldn’t even carry bags in that league. Her face is a mask that tells me nothing in between the sparse words that come out of her mouth.
Except, there might be something in the way she smiles at me that gives me hope I’m not as far out of her league as I thought. It might just be time that this chaos gets a little geek.

I thought the book was good. The characters were descent and the storyline was easy to follow.
I loved the characters and the story line. I highly recommend this book.
This was kind of a slow burn, but I liked it a lot actually. I gave it three stars because it really needs some editing, but I enjoyed the story quite a bit.
Overall it was a good book. Some basic grammatical errors and wrong word usage—like a bad autocorrect program—throughout the book.
A fun romantic indulgence!
Great read
Good , easy to read
Nice read. Needs a better editor, mistakes somewhat distracting.
Really loved this book! The first encounter with the characters was slow for me, but it didn’t take long to really embrace them and for it to turn into a page-turner!
I was captivated from the first page!
Loved this! Not a new storyline but Elizabeth Stevens did a great job of building personalities. Some of dialogue was a little difficult to follow but I still loved this love story.
Older brothers best friend trope. Some very sweet and tender moments. Big protective brother. Great camaraderie and new friends made.
