Let’s say you’re an independent, self-sufficient woman who runs the family company and you find yourself falling for your little brother’s best friend. Now, more than ever, you need to count all the reasons why you need to abandon falling.Abandon Falling #1 – He’s a womanizer. Hasn’t had a serious relationship a day in his life and changes women more often than he changes his sheets.Abandon … changes his sheets.
Abandon Falling #2 – He’s never serious. He cracks one-liners, mostly at your expense.
Abandon Falling #3 – When things go wrong, he seems unfazed and always remains in control. It’s so annoying.
Abandon Falling #4 – He has tattoos. Lots of them. Everywhere. Not to mention, he owns a tattoo parlor. (Damn it! Why doesn’t that sound like a bad thing anymore?)
Abandon Falling #5 – There’s a growing list of how different you two are. You can’t get along for fifteen minutes—a lifetime together would land one of you in prison.
Keep repeating those reasons and drown yourself in work. Pretend you don’t notice his good qualities or how enticing he looks without a shirt, and do not, I repeat, do not agree to live with the man while your place is being repaired from flood damage.
Trust me, even the strongest of us can only forego temptation for so long.

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
I’ve been patiently waiting for Savannah’s story since Piper Rayne introduced us to the Bailey’s. While it may have taken longer than some would have liked, this story was definitely worth the wait!
Savannah Bailey’s life took a drastic turn at the age of nineteen when her parents passed away. She put her own life on hold to make sure that her brothers and sisters had what they needed and she also became the face of Bailey Timber, the family business. Savannah is known for putting everyone else first, never even thinking about her own happiness.
Liam Kelly has been around the Bailey’s for years since he is best friend’s with Savannah’s brothers, however he’s always harbored a crush on the eldest Bailey girl as well. He owns his own tattoo shop in Lake Starlight that is wildly successful. He’s had his fun with women in the past, but his sights are solely set on the lovely Savannah.
While Liam and Savannah oftentimes don’t see eye to eye on things, they are often in one another’s orbit. Savannah is completely consumed with work and her family, never having fun or being carefree like she was earlier in her life. Liam sees this and knows that in order to win her over and prove that the five year age difference is one of the many obstacles they can overcome he has to pull Savannah out of her shell. The question is, will she allow that?
There was so much to love about this story. First off, Liam is amazing. He’s sweet, he’s understanding and he’s just swoonworthy. There were a few times I wanted to shake Savannah, but I get where she was coming from and why her focus was what and where it was. Any time spent with the Bailey’s is awesome and I’m already looking forward to our next adventure with this crew!

it was amazing
I love a good Piper Rayne novel. And Liam And Savannah’s story where highly anticipated since the beginning of the Bailey clan. I enjoyed ever word on every page. Liam is definitely a keeper and Grandma Dori seems to be getting crazier in each book.
Piper Rayne you took my heart with you in this one… Liam and Savannah
Great story
Liam and Savannah are one of my favorite couples from these authors. Their story brings you on a journey to a hea with lots of bumps along the way. This story will grab you from the beginning and when it’s over you’ll want more.
Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend is book four in The Bailey’s series. It can be read as a standalone. Each book focuses on a different Bailey sibling. This one is Savannah and Liam’s story. I am so loving the Bailey siblings and I was so wanting Savannah’s story. If you have been waiting for Savannah and Liam’s like I have, don’t worry it was so worth the wait and does not disappoint. Savannah took up a huge role in the family after her parents passed and runs the family business. She strong and has a big heart. She’s hasn’t spent much time on herself but it’s time for her to find herself again. Liam is her brother’s best friend. He’s also like an honorary Bailey. I loved Liam. The connection between Liam and Savannah is strong but the both try to fight it. I loved Liam. I was so rooting for him to win over Savannah and not mess it up. I had my doubts that their story would live up to the hype I created in my mind but no worries their story is just prefect.
Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend is in the top 5 of my most anticipated reads of 2019, and it did not disappoint!
Like most readers who’ve read the first 3.5 books in the Baileys Series, I have wanted to know more about the relationship between Liam Kelly and Savannah Bailey. Are they friends? Lovers? Enemies? It was obvious that Liam harbored some serious feelings for his best friends’ older sister, but Savannah’s feelings were a mystery!
FFMBBF picks up right after Operation Bailey Wedding. From the previous books, we know that Liam and Savannah have a tendency to clash.
Savannah has been wound so tight for so long that she no longer knows how to let go and enjoy life. Taking on the role of mom to 7 of her younger siblings when she was 19 caused her to lose a piece herself. As she watches her siblings marry, have children, and pursue their dreams, and she takes on added responsibility, she becomes more of a shell of her former self.
Liam is the opposite of Savannah. He is laid back, relaxed, and everyone adores him. He only ever seems to lose his cool around Savannah, the woman he has harbored feelings for for most of his life, regardless of their 5 year age difference. He pushes all of her buttons because he sees the real Savannah…the good and the bad. He also knows that the old Savannah is still inside her…she just needs a little bit of coaxing to come back out. And he is definitely up for the challenge.
As these two get thrown together by circumstance, necessity, and a matchmaking grandma, years worth of tension finally reaches a breaking point. And what a breaking point it is. Oh, my heart. This was one bumpy, emotional, funny, and exciting ride!
Liam and Savannah are my favorite of the couples to date. I love the way they balance each other out, and how they manage to bring out the very best in each other. There is also a lot to be said for the lengths Liam goes to in order to help Savannah find herself. Savannah hasn’t been the easiest Bailey to like, but seeing her through Liam’s eyes? It makes it pretty easy to love her.
I really enjoy how with each new book in the series, we learn a little bit more about this family. No matter their differences or issues, they are always there for one another. They way they protect each other and look out for one another is both admirable and enviable. That Grandma Dori is a force to be reckoned with, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for her remaining unattached grandchildren!
The only thing I missed in this one…not enough Buzzwheel!
Sav’s and Liam story is the most anticipated Bailey’s book for me! I knew Savannah held the world on her shoulders. I was in awe with this book. I love revisiting the Bailey’s and Grandma Dori. When you get to know Liam, you fall for the amazing and humbling man. You can feel how much love he has and the spirit he has to make Sav find her way again.
Sav is strong willed and does everything for her family. Bit when she starts to live again, the beauty within amplifies. I truly loved this story with my heart and soul! This is a book you do not want to miss out!!
The latest release from Piper Rayne!
I always start smiling when I see the name Piper Rayne. Not because of anything wrong, but because I know they are about to give me something fun. Even the start of this book mentions that they have left the Bailey’s for a while. I am so glad they decided to come back to the fold and give us the story we have all been waiting for. Falling for My Brother’s Best Friend is that story.
Growing up is never easy. Being thrust into adulthood can be overwhelming. Savannah is that person that seems to have done it well. But with that success she has lost some of the things that made her who she is. Sadly she is not aware of what’s missing and that is where her problems lie.
Family can be challenging and as we all know, sometimes family is not defined by blood. Liam has grown up understanding that, and his pain is two fold. While he appears to have it all together on the outside, his internal battles are never far from the surface. If only he could see them. Looking out for others seems to have shielded him from his on issues.
This was a story that has been long awaited and Piper Rayne definitely brought it to light in a very unique way. Challenges and opportunities are made and met. Understanding of the values of others as well as within oneself are appreciated. Passions grow and explode as revelations come to light. And in the end, we get that wonderful HEA we have all wanted for so long… while laughing out butts off thanks to Grandma Dori. Well done ladies and worth all the stars given. Now I just have to stay patient for the next brother…hehehehe
This is by far my favorite book in the Bailey’s series. I have waited since the first book for Liam and Savannah and I am not disappointed. Ok well a little disappointed that Savannah gets Liam and I don’t !!! LOL !!! You won’t be disappointed. If you haven’t read the first 3.5 books you don’t have to buy WHY would you want to miss out on this wonderful family and the build up to Savannah and LIAM !!!!
A 4.5 stars read! I cannot help but continue to fall for this family in The Baileys Series. I have been waiting for Savannah & Liam’s story & it did not disappoint!
There was always something brewing between Liam and Savannah; however, being best friends with her brothers and their age difference were issues that were challenging. They have a love hate relationship that shows how strong their chemistry was throughout the read and cannot help wanting the bad boy to be with a women he least expects to fall for and vice versa.
The fights, the banter, the patience & impatience between two people who are attracted to each other will have you swooning and hoping for more. Then we have the family meddling and divided on wanting them to be together versus preferring to have them stay as friends. You have your typical run of the mill family love between siblings and of course Grandma Dori. God bless her.
Looking forward to reading more in this series. Each story so far were unique and had you wanting each time to be part of the Bailey family.
I’ve died and gone to heaven. Just when I thought Piper and Rayne couldn’t write another more delicious male lead I was wrong! Liam Kelly was well worth the wait!
Lake Star Light oh how we have missed you. The story that the fans of the Bailey family have been waiting for is finally here and so much better than anyone could have dreamed.
Liam and Savannah’s story was what readers of romance live for. It had all the angst, all of the swoon-worthy goodness, and the heat that might make you fear for the safety of your e-reader.
This has quickly become my favorite Bailey sibling story and once you read it I am sure you will understand why. So what are you waiting for? Grab your copy so you can enjoy this quirky little piece of Alaska with me!
As Always, Happy Reading!
“5/5 Beaming Brains!” – Lit-Up My Mind
So I will start out by saying that I haven’t read any of the other books in the series and I had no problem following the story line. So it seems that Liam and Savannah had some fun one night cause the book starts up after it happened. It’s obvious that they know each other and have been skirting around the idea of getting together but neither want the brothers to find out and ruin their friendship. This was a fun book to read with characters you will love!!
Finally the Bailey I ve been waiting for!
Yes! Savanna and Liam’s story and what a story it is. He’s easy going, she’s uptight. He gets around, she’s married to her job. He’s crushed on her for years and he’s her brother’s best friend. Now that my friends make a totally delicious book. One that will set your panties on fire and have you falling in love with these two.
This is everything I’d hoped it would be and I devoured it. Every….single….word! These ladies did a fantastic job giving us this amazing story and I can not wait for the next Bailey book.

Finally! Liam and Savannah! Holy Hot Tamales!
I’m seriously addicted to the Baileys.
Liam is perfectly not perfect, kinda bad boy and has always had a thing for Savannah.
He sees her in a way no one else does.
Savannah..so independent. I’m so glad the reverse age gap was written so well.
These two and a tough road and deserve happiness.
Expect a lot of laughs…totally a feel good romance.

Savannah and Liam’s book was a highly anticipated read for me with all the sexual tension and banter, I was definitely not disappointed!!! Savannah is one of the oldest Bailey siblings and while raising her brothers and sisters lost a piece of herself along the way. Liam has been in love with Savannah since he was a kid and is ready to help her find herself again while showing her how good they could be together. These two had me so enamoured with their story I demolished page after page because I couldn’t put it down. Piper Rayne somehow brings us stories that get better and better, intrigue us, captivate us and ALWAYS have us begging for MORE!
This is another great read in the Bailey’s Series. This is book four and is Savannah’s story.
When the Bailey parents died, Austin wasn’t the only one to give up everything for their younger siblings. Savannah took over Bailey Timber, while Austin took over the parenting.
This changed her.
No one seems to notice how it changed her though.
No one but Liam. He is the only one that notices and wants to help bring the old Savannah out some.
I loved how Liam helped her. The little challenges he gave her each week. He is truly an amazing guy.
I did miss reading Buzz Wheel and I always want more Dori!
Great writing, super story. I enjoyed diving into the world of the Baileys for the first time. Will look into the rest of the series.
Another book that had me admiring this dynamic author duo. I have fallen hard for the Bailey’s, and seeing another one get their happily ever after was fabulous! Savannah and Liam’s journey had me swooning, laughing, and fanning myself; their love for one another was amazing. Grandma Dori’s antics were hilarious and extremely endearing.
This is the fourth book in the Bailey Series. I love all about this Series, the characters, the friendship, the family bonds, the chemistry, and the Romance! Savannah and Liam’s story is beautifully written. They share a strong and sizzling chemistry. Liam is handsome, possessive and protective. Savannah is a strong and beautiful woman. I loved their story and I highly recommend it. The secondary characters are great and they have an important part in this story. Tim Paige and Tanya Eby did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Demise of a Self-Centered Playboy, the next book in the Series.
