I loved this novella and devoured it in hours. Love how Harper has always loved Matt but is trying to get over him. Well, it sure steams up fast when he finally makes his move. There’s a reason he tried to resist her. The book left me feeling so happy for them in the ending. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book.
Harper and Matt’s story is one hell of a sexy novella. Despite the brevity, Ms. Phillips has portrayed the characters in her incredible, proven ways: authentic …, caring …, warm …
It was fantastic to see both protagonists finally find a way to each other after being kept separate for far too long …
I was fascinated from the first page and loved every single word. I only wish the story of Harper and Matt would be much longer!

A Short story in the Knight Brother Series.
Being friends all through school and carrying her secret love for Matt, Harper was convinced that as they got older his feelings for her would be reciprocated…….
Off she went to college hoping that they could both declare their love for each other on her returning but what she wasn’t prepared for was coming home to have Matt practically ignore her as if their past never existed.
Matt has loved Harper for so long and his intention is to be with her forever but a visit from her big brother who dishes out some home truths and a warning, puts an end to his dreams.
This story is about two people who are so meant for each other but are kept apart by a secret promise Matt has made to Harper’s brother. When he realizes that he’s made a big mistake, Matt sets out to win Harper back into not just his life but his heart.
A perfect end to this series.
I was a little bummed how short this story was and how fast Matt and Harper jumped into bed. Yes, they’ve known each other forever, but I was looking forward to the buildup. With that being said, I love seeing the backstory of why they never dated. And also seeing how each of them are stronger and more independent and worthy.
Harper has been in love with Matt from afar for years. Unaware as to why he just suddenly stopped talking to her, she has stood by quietly, trying to get over him. Thankfully Matt wakes up and decides its time to claim the girl he loves. This as such a sweet novella and a quick read.
We met Harper and Matt in Take Me Down. Harper is Emily’s partner in Harper and Em’s Bake and Brew and Matt is the town mechanic who at that time was pursuing Emily.
Harper has been in love with Matt since school, but he has continually ignored her. Now she is on her way to Denver for a coffee class in Latte Art, to learn all the cute decorations to swirl in her coffee creations.
As Harper is leaving Matt hears a noise from her car that doesn’t bode well for her trip. Harper is having none of it and drives off anyway. Only to have to call him from the road.
This is definitely a case of FINALLY!
Lots of fun, with plenty of twists, some unexpected surprises and the heat between these two is off the charts!
I can’t wait to see what Carly has in store for us next!
Harper’s brother never thought Matt was good enough for his little sister. He warned him away when they were young, and Matt stayed away. Harper never understood why Matt kept his distance, but she lived her life on her own terms. When he car breaks down on the way to a weekend class, Matt is there to rescue Harper and he decides then and there that they are adults and he isn’t putting his feelings aside any more!
This was a short story that should have been a long story. I wasn’t ready for it to end. It was great. The King Brothers books are wonderful and don’t disappoint.
This is a quick stop back to visit some previous characters from “Take Me Down”. This is the story of Harper and Matt.

Matt has wanted Harper for as long as he can remember but thanks to some big brother meddling he has kept his desires secret. Maybe a weekend in Denver is just what he needs to get want he’s always wanted.
Take Me Now is a great short story. It has Harper and Matt and will they get their happily ever after. Matt has stayed away because of a promise even though he has loved her forever. Will he break that promise he made and go after Harper? Carly always writes amazing stories make sure you one click.
We met Harper Sanders in Take Me Down….she is Emily’s best friend and business partner.
Harper has always had feelings for Matt Banks since they were teenagers and she thought Matt returned those feelings but time has shown her something different. Now a days it seems Matt only wants her for her coffee.

This was a fun, short, sexy story. These characters are so fun I wish the book was longer!
A fun and sexy short story.
Here we have Harper and Matt, we saw them in the previous book, so we know a little bit of them. Here we learn they’ve been pining for each other from afar for years, and now they just found their chance to see where things can go.
This was a short story, so an easy read. It goes straight to the point and even though that’s not bad, I would’ve liked more development in these two and a slower pace.
However, it was a fun short story; an enjoyable part of this series.
*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*
This is the short story (novella) of Matt & Harper. It is a great story, and a steamy one. Denied for years because of a promise Matt made, he couldn’t pursue Harper. As an adult he won’t deny himself anymore. Quick paced and well written, but you can follow it easily.
This was a great short story about Harper, best friend of Emily who is married to Parker from Take me down. Harper and Matt have liked earache other for years since they were youngsters. As they grew it was clear they were getting closer until Harper’s brother put a stop to it. Some years later tired of waiting Matt makes his move. A simply quick story but I loved reading about Harper and Matt but I suppose the biggest question is……..does Harper’s brother get to act out the “or else” talk he had with Matt??????
Harper has been in love with Matt for years and she knows she needs to move on but just can’t seem too. Heading to a barista conference she is hoping she finally can let Matt go. Fate has other ideas!
Matt having been warned again Harper by her brother is finally going after what he wants. What he wants is Harper! So happy these two got their happy ending!!
This may be a short story, but there is nothing short about the punch it packs! AND it didn’t even feel short! This was sexy and fun and also heartwarming. You’d think you couldn’t get much accomplished in a five chapter journey, but Carly managed to give us glorious sexy sparks, passion and emotion and even a little side mystery! It’s a total #win people!
Matt Banks and Harper Sanders have been friends their whole lives. But just as Matt was about to declare his love, Harper’s older brother made him promise to step aside. With that, Matt starts keeping his distance from Harper.
Finally fed up with years of Matt’s indifference, Harper starts dating – a lot. But none of them compare to Matt, so Harper decides to call it quits and just be alone. Heading out of town for a weekend class on her craft, Harper finds herself with some car trouble and begrudgingly calls Matt for help.
What follows is a weekend of discovery for both of them. Matt’s not going to waste one minute of time he has with Harper. Sparks and clothes fly, the love for each other wasting no more time. I’m calling this (too) short story a friends to lover with a detour thanks to Harper’s “well meaning” older brother. If you love other books in The Knight Brothers Series, don’t miss this one!
