Natalie
The guy I’ve been in love with since I was a little girl is officially shacking up in my spare bedroom.
Pretty sure I’m breaking every rule in the book by having him sleep under my roof, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
Not when I’ve already let go of my silly crush to pursue other dreams that don’t involve sexy guys.
Especially when said sexy roommate has only ever seen me as his little sister’s shadow.
No, it’s time to let him go and move on.
I just hope I can.

This was such a fun read I really liked both Marcus and Natalie these two were a lot of fun they both have feelings for each other but have never let the other know. I enjoyed this book it was a good interesting read and while it is part of a series it was the first one I had read and had no problems keeping up. I cannot wait to check out the rest of the series.
Kelsie Rae is a new author to me. This was a second chance at love story which I found to be sweet and romantic to read. I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series but had no trouble reading Marcus as a stand alone, although I think you might have a greater appreciation of Marcus and Natalie and their relationship if you were to read the other books in the series first, not required but perhaps an idea.
Marcus has loved Natalie for what seems like forever but she had no idea of his feelings so she has decided to move on with her life and ironically she has always felt the same about Marcus. These two are absolutely star crossed lovers, neither prepared to make a move. Will fate step in and lend a hand or are they both destined to remain apart?
When circumstances brings Marcus and Natalie together under the one roof, will their unresolved feelings finally get a chance to break free, will this be the start of something magical or will they both continue to bury their heads in the sand?
Marcus and Natalie are well suited, if only they can be brave enough to take a chance on one another. The secondary characters were delightful and I found myself cheering for Marcus and Natalie to get their happily ever after.
I enjoyed Ms. Rae’s style of writing and will looking at other books she has written when time permits.
The writing will draw you in after only a few pages and have you finishing the book in one sitting.
There is the perfect amount of angst and romance and grit.
I would suggest picking up a copy asap, you will not be disappointed.

I completely fell in love with Marcus and Natalie so much. Shes his best friends little sister. They have both been in love with each other but havent done anything about because of her brother. Now that he moved in with her its a lot harder to not act on that shared attraction. Loved these two
4.5 stars for Marcus by Kelsie Rae. This is book 6 in The Signature Sweethearts series. This is a Best friends older brother romance for which I am a huge fan of this genre. This is my first book from this author and it will not be my last. I am loving her writing. In this book we have Marcus who wants Natalie and he has wanted her for years. He has just always been afraid to try anything with her. He was never sure how she felt or what would happen between them two. Natalie is Marcus’s sister’s best friend. She has been in love with Marcus for years. She just never thought she was his type. “Because I’m in love with my best friend’s big brother, and he’ll never look at me like anything other than his little sister’s shadow.” Marcus has decided to move to be closer to his sister , and he needs a place to stay and that brings him to Natalie’s door step. This could either be the start of something great or the downfall of these twos’ friendship. It is a great book and I recommend it to everyone.
Another awesome book. I absolutely loved every second of this story from the beginning to the end. It is a standalone but it would benefit you tremendously to read at least Sophie before Marcus.
Marcus is an all around good guy who has loved his little sister’s best friend, Natalie for years but she doesn’t have a clue about his feelings. Natalie has loved her best friend’s older brother, Marcus the man who brings butterflies to her stomach since she was five. Unaware of his feelings she has decided to move on, but one small problem. Marcus is moving to be closer to his sister for the arrival of her twins. And it seems she is gaining a roommate Marcus. The best part Sophie is okay with her brother and best friend being together.
I am loving this series so far and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series ‘Anthony’ coming in July.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.
I love Kelsie Rae’s books and I loved Marcus just like the others! This is a cute, easy to read romance.
Another five star read from the mistress of sweet romances Kelsie Rae. In Marcus she conquers the little sister’s best-friend troupe by pitting the over-protective Marcus with the sassy, independent Natalie. These two have hinted at the push-pull chemistry in previous books in the Signature Sweethearts series, but here they go full blown. Their journey is filled with passion, humor and swoon worthy moments. A definite add to your collection.
I loved Marcus and Natalie. I love stories where it is Brothers/sisters best friend that fall each other. It always brings that dynamic where they aren’t sure they should pursue the person. I love how these two were together. Great story.

Childhood friends can make the best lovers! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Marcus is Natalie’s best friend’s older brother and they have been friends since childhood. The feelings that these two have for each other are no surprise but they have not acted on them ever. When they are push together will they act on these feelings and how will they deal with the best friend/sister. Kelsie Rae does it again with these characters and making you fall in love with every single one of them.
Since the hinting of the secret love between Marcus and Natalie in Sophie’s book, I’ve been dying to get my hands on it. When I finally did, I devoured it.
Alpha, dominating Marcus, has been tugging on Natalie’s heartstrings for years, and when she finally is ready to be more than his little sister’s best friend, he realizes what he could lose. Now that her best friend has her own life, Natalie is trying to find a place in the world that is all hers and one where she won’t let Marcus play her heart like the games he does for a living, but now that his eyes have been opened, she is left with a hard decision. The love she’s been pining for for years or a future that is all hers? Kelsie Rae squeezed my heart in my chest, making the push and pull between these two all real for me, and when she let go, the love filled me completely.
Definitely don’t want to miss this!
I’ve read all of Kelsie Rae’s Signature Series and Marcus does not disappoint. This is a story of friends to lovers and is one of my favorite types to read!!! Every one of her books in the series just gets better and better every time. It is by far my favorite!!
OMG!!!!!! Kelsie Rae has done it again! Marcus is book 6 in her Signature Sweethearts Series and each book just gets better and better. While these books are easily able to be read as a standalone, the characters throughout the stores are all connected in some way and it makes you understand more about what is going on when you know the back stories.
In this book we mainly get to focus on Marcus and Natalie, even though his sister Sophie gets to be a big part of this story as well. I absolutely love a good enemies to lovers story and this one did not disappoint. While Marcus and Natalie have always crushed on each other, neither on was ever ready to make a move. It was so much easier to pretend like they hated each other than to actually admit they had feelings. With Natalie in need of a roommate, and Marcus unexpectedly moving to town, the two are forced together in a way they never expected to be.
I love how each chapter goes back and forth between the different character points of view. I always feel like I am deeper into the story that way. I also loved the chemistry between Marcus and Natalie, and really enjoyed the banter between the two of them.
I was hooked from the very first page and could not put this book down. I was dying to know what was going to happen next and wanted to shake some sense into both characters a few times.
This is a must read book and series for sure! – By Alisa
I’ve been super excited to find out what happens between Marcus and Natalie and boy did this not disappoint. Although this series can be read as a stand-alone the characters are in throughout and the tension between Marcus and Natalie has always been there. I thoroughly enjoyed catching up on the other characters too. I really love this group, what another brilliant addition! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Fabulous Best-friend’s Brother Story!
Natalie has always loved Marcus, but he sees her as Sophie’s best friend and treats her as his friend and little sister. Little does Natalie know, Marcus has feelings for her as well, but he refuses to act on them feeling that would be taboo. When Sophie moves out of the apartment she shares with Natalie, Natalie is in need of a roommate. Marcus is moving too, hoping to be closer to Sophie to keep an eye on her when she’s expecting twins with her boyfriend Nathan (and ensure Nathan is worthy of Sophie). He doesn’t have a clue Sophie has moved out! Now he’s Natalie’s new roommate (without Sophie there acting as a buffer!)
I loved how Natalie took the time to follow her dream! And that she left her comfort zone to ensure it was a possibility. Marcus was a jerk, but he came around to become a swoon worthy book boyfriend! I loved the interactions betweenMarcus and his sister Sophie, and with Natalie! The way Sophie steps in to manipulate the couple is adorable and I love the way they react.
Bottom line: One of my favourite reads!

I have been waiting for Marcus and Natalie’s story and Kelsey did not disappoint. This was a sweet, fun, lovely romance. This a sister’s best friend romance. In the beginning Marcus is an A$$ but once he gets his gets his act together he redeems himself. He is sweet, sexy and romantic. Just like all the other books in this series I was hooked right from the beginning. I love the characters and just want more. Can’t wait for the next book Anthony. Hopefully he can redeem himself in his story.
Marcus and Natalie have danced around each other for years. Natalie is his sister’s best friend. Though they both have feelings for the other they also have a hate relationship. A romantic comedy

Marcus by Kelsie Rae is the first book I have by this author and I love it! The storyline was engaging and kept my interest as well as the drama, twists, mistakes and emotional turmoil created tension for the couple. Marcus and Natalie are both strong characters and that made for a well balanced couple. The attraction between the couple simmered along nice as they engaged in a chemistry that was steamy and hot. Can’t wait for the next book.
