Theo Cruz, a New York man known for his family’s billion-dollar empire, Cruz Enterprises, has been indicted this afternoon in the Court of Public Opinion on charges of Bro-Code Conspiracy. Chief counsel for the prosecution, Caplin Hawkins, spoke candidly about the accusation. “Once thought of as a best friend to many—including myself—Theo Cruz has officially turned his back on human decency. He’s … human decency. He’s conniving and dishonest, and a habitual offender of Bro-Code Law 676. He’ll rue the day he forgot that you never—under any circumstances—get involved with your best friend’s little sister.”
Fact: I haven’t actually been arrested or indicted.
More important fact: I inadvertently messed up—big-time.
Two strangers in a foreign country, we said hello.
Hello turned into a kiss.
A kiss turned into a rendezvous.
And a rendezvous turned into more than I’d ever imagined.
But her unruly golden curls and beautiful body hid an important detail—She’s my mouthiest billionaire best friend’s forbidden little sister.
Fact: I knew not of my crimes.
More important fact: I know now, but even though I know I’m playing with fire, there’s no way I’m stopping. I can’t leave her alone.
Question: What do you do when you fall for your best friend’s little sister?
More important question: How long can you keep it a secret before it all goes up in flames?
Disclaimer: The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is a romantic comedy, NOT a taboo romance. We repeat: It is NOT about a billionaire canoodling with his own sister. However, if you find yourself wishing it were, we suggest switching around some names to make it so. We can’t guarantee it won’t be confusing at times, but who knows? It could be just what your doctor ordered.

Lena and Theo.
Theo is one of the guys from the hilarious Billionaire Book Club!
(You know the one? Cap and Kline and THATCH are other members you might know! LOL)
Theo is a kid from a rich hotel family, but he made his own empire – he’s running super successful clubs worldwide. He’s just now on his way to Italy for another grand opening.
Lena is the sister of … CAP!
She’s in Milan for the year to study fashion. And this weekend she’s celebrating with a few friends at this club on the italian Amalfi coast.
Obviously they will be in Theo’s club. And of course our two darlings will meet.
It’s insta über-attraction on both sides.
But can it be more than an amazingly sexy & fun week-long fling?
Theo doesn’t date and Lena is kind of on a man ban.
Plus also – no one yet knows that Cap is the big brother in this scenario – and you know you never start something with your buddy’s little sis!
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
ADORABLE!!!
I just adored this story!
The first half is this hilarious and sexy and sunny vacation fling adventure in Italy. And then we go back home to New York, where we’re trying to keep everything from poor Cap.
I loved reading this.
I adored Theo and Lena! And Theo’s asisstant and Theo’s grandpa and Lena’s british friend are so effing über-hilarious! I need a spin-off with ALLL the people! LOL!
And of course we get lots of Cap and Thatch et cetera. How can you not love such a book!?
(P.S. should you not know who Thatch is – you’ve obviously been asleep these last few years and need to hurry to amazon and get started with Max Monroe’s first amazing Billionaire Bad Boy series!)
AMAZING ROMANTIC COMEDY!
How is it possible that none of Max Monroe’s books are streaming their behinds off on Netflix yet??? The world is weird!
I didn’t love-love the way Lena reacts after Italy and towards the end of the book to what her mother says. All a bit immature and silly – but also a little understandable.
THE BILLIONAIRE’S FORBIDDEN LITTLE SISTER was such a hilarious & adorable & sunny & sexy Italy & New York Rom-Com! Hurry to your nearest amazon for your own Theo – he’ll be sold out in no time!
I absolutely love romantic comedies, they’re at the top of the list of my favorite things to read, and a Max Monroe romantic comedy is a special kind of reading experience for me. What makes their romcoms stand outs in the genre is that while they are wildly hilarious, if the authors were to strip the humor from the story, there would still be a solidly engaging, steamy romance there that could stand on its own. That is a testament to the creativity of this author duo, and speaks volumes about the quality of their writing. I truly hope the authors don’t do that, though, because I really fluffing love their uniquely comical sense of humor. Imaginative plots coupled with endearing characters embroiled in these deliciously sexy romances that are heart-tugging and heart-warming, and this is romantic comedy perfection on the page. I can always count on Max Monroe to give me an unputdownable, audible-laugh-inducing, feel-good romance, and it’s what drives me to pick up their books time and time again.
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister was totally up my alley—I loved everything about it. The brother’s best friend/best friend’s little sister trope is a personal favorite of mine, and Max Monroe penned an absolute winner here. Theo and Lena were magic together. She breathed life into this incredibly focused, schedule-driven billionaire, and he was the steadying, stable force she needed. Their relationship was all about the balance, and shenanigans aside, these two were perfectly paired. Add in a splash of drama that only Caplin Hawkins, Lena’s big brother and one of Theo’s billionaire best buddies, and this story was an entertaining, amusing, passionate page-turner.
An utterly charming blend of sweet, sexy romance and laugh-out-loud humor, The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is exactly what readers crave from this author. Fantastically well executed, light-hearted and fun, I smiled from ear-to-ear the whole way through as I practically inhaled this book. Five smooches from me for The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister by Max Monroe!
~Danielle Palumbo, Red Cheeks Reads
Theo is on his way to Italy for the grand opening of his newest nightclub and despite scorching hot coffee spilling on his pants everything is running as scheduled.
Lena and a few of her classmates are out celebrating graduating design school before heading off to their internships and sees the most gorgeous man across the bar.
Theo’s friends are always telling him he is too serious and needs to let loose so that’s just what he does. He and Lena embark on an Italian rendezvous, but when their time comes to an end he hates that he agreed to her rules – no last names, no personal information and that means no way to find her.
I loved this book!!! I so thought that Harrison would Lena’s HEA, but I should have known to expect the unexpected from Max Monroe! These books are so well written that I feel like I’m a part of the story. I so love the guys (and girls) and so want to be part of their growing circle. Highly recommend this series!!!!
I loved this book. Theo Cruz is one hot and sexy man and Lena is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants. Budding fashion designer, her and Theo meet by chance in Italy. The attraction is instant when she meets him in a new nightclub. She’s been on a man ban for over 9 months and feels it’s time to change that. Things don’t go quite according to plan due to her drunken friend, but eventually her and Theo get past the obstacles and spend some hot, intense, sexy time together. Lena has a set of rules though. She can’t get involved with anyone as she’s working on her internship to become a fashion designer. So, they agree to no last names, no looking beyond the here and now. The trouble is, they like each other. Lena can’t handle goodbyes at the end of their time together though, and leaves poor Theo, not quite the way he had been expecting.
Back in the US, it doesn’t take long for Theo and Lena to realise they are connected by mutual friends, and for her, one hell of a protective brother. Things get interesting when she insists on keeping things a secret, but when does that sort of thing ever work? Loved this story. Loved these characters.
Another gem of a read by Max Monroe that I absolutely love. This book is a sexy, sweet read that had me hooked from page one. I absolutely love every minute of Lena and Theo’s story. This book will definitely give you all the feels. Truly an amazing read that will have you never wanting their story too end.
I can’t get enough of Max Monroe’s Billionaires! I swear, I laugh so hard with every story I read. The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister features Theo Cruz and Lena Hawkins, Caplin’s younger sister. It’s a witty, hilarious, sexy and fun story that will keep you entertained from the first page to the very last page. It’s a complete standalone but seriously….read the other Billionaire books as well because they are solid gold!
Lena Hawkins is my spirit animal! She is outspoken and says everything that’s on her mind. At times she’s completely inappropriate and at others she soft and vulnerable. She is one of the funniest characters I’ve read and I absolutely adore her! Theo Cruz is a bit unassuming. He’s a billionaire but he doesn’t flaunt it. He’s focused on work and doesn’t have time for women. But when he meets Lena, all bets are off. These two are solid gold together! Their chemistry is insane and jumps off the page. It’s not all smooth sailing for these two however. They’re keeping their relationship secret from Lena’s brother Caplin and when he finds out, all hell breaks loose!
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is such a fun read. It’ll make you laugh out loud and put a smile on your face as Lena and Theo find their happily ever after. Don’t miss it! 4.5 stars
Another great read from Max Monroe’s Billionaire Collection Series. We met both Theo, billionaire resort and club owner, and Lena, studying fashion design, in the previous books with Cap and his friends. While you were made to think Harrison was the friend of Cap, her brother, who would end up with Lena, but in reality it was work-a-holic Theo.
Lena is trying to lose her “flighty” persona and bucking down to finally do what she wants, becoming a fashion designer. She meets Theo while studying in Italy and decides to have a Romantic Rendezvous with rules. No last names, no personal info exchanged and finally leave at the end of 7 days.
During these 7 days, we are shown Theo’s caring and fun side. You start to fall in love with him as Lena does. She gets scared and runs off at the end without a goodbye.
Max Monroe has written a great love story with these two! You laugh, snort, and cheer for the characters. This is one of the better written forbidden little sister of your best friend books I have read. I can’t wait for more? Maybe Harrison’s story?
I loved this book! Everything about it. The setting in Italy, the romance between Theo and Lena, the rules, the fact that it’s Cap’s little sister so we get more of him and even book club in this book. I like that Theo lets Lena drive their relationship and he isn’t pushy with her. He knows what he wants early on, but he doesn’t push his agenda a her. And again the Billionaire world that Max Monroe has built isn’t your typically snobby rich folk thinking they own the world. It’s the very opposite and I think that is a huge part of why these books are so fun to read!
You really need to read Max Monroe’s books in order before you get to this one. The little sister of his best friend is taboo but of course that doesn’t stop the couple from getting together. And when big brother Cap does find out about it…yikes! Fun read!
Can I give this book more than 5 stars because I FLUFFLING loved it
Hands down one of the best books ive read so far this year
This is the 4th book in the Billionaire Collection and follows Lena + Theo who have appeared in the previous books. These books can all be read as standalones but honestly they’re all good so I’d highly recommend reading them
Lena is fun, flirty and little flighty but so desperately trying to sort out her life, focus on her career and goals while not wanting anything or anyone to distract her
Theo is Mr. Serious, a career driven billionaire whose life is run by schedules that dont allow time for fun, relationships or anything outside of his professional life. He is also kind, caring, supportive and so damn sexy
These two both decide to indulge in a little rendezvous while in Positano, Italy thinking what harm could a little fun do. At the end of their vacation they will just part ways and not see each other again, simple really.. or maybe not
Their story was funny, sexy, steamy, a little angsty with some drama here and there but oh so good. I loved every minute of this story and if it wasnt for life, work and you know responsibilities i probably would have finished it in one sitting. I couldn’t tell if I was reading a book or watching my favourite movie it was that good. This has so far been my favourite book by Max Monroe and i can’t wait for what they come up with next
This book is for you if you enjoy
Laughing out loud while people stare at you like you might be insane
Steamy sexy times while on vacation that follow you home
Fun sibling dynamics – here’s looking at you Cap and Brogan
Thatcher mother fluffling Kelly and his gavel.. (he is still my favourite character ever written)
Fun witty banter
Friends who like to bust your balls but actually only want what’s best for you
Best friends sibling trope
Naughty Grandpas named Merl
Cocky alpha male billionaires who come together to ‘read’ romance books.. Thats right biotches the billionaire book club is still going strong and possibly better than ever
And if you have no idea what I’m going on about you should really read the book
This was my first Max Monroe book but it won’t be my last. These ladies know how to write a book that will seriously make you laugh out loud. The book centers on Lena and Theo but we get a pretty good taste of all the Billionaires in the book club. Those meetings are roll on the floor funny. There is no shortage of sexy, steaminess either. Looking forward to grabbing some more Max Monroe books and getting to know this group better.
I have been waiting for Cap’s sister’s story and was so looking forward to him drilling the guy who mess with his sister. And it definitely rocked!
Theo was supposed to have a very full and tight schedule in Italy, but he found himself to make time for this one girl, Lena. For Lena, she has been on a man-ban, but on this vacation she just wants to let go and have a rendezvous with this gorgeous man, Theo. But of course, there’s rules to this.
When they returned to their reality, Theo couldn’t get her out of his mind but there’s no way to find her. He doesn’t know anything about her, other than her first name. But when Cap dragged him to a fashion show, and that’s when he met Cap’s little sister who he know well enough in bed who is supposed to be off-limits.
Max Monroe is off the charts when it came to chemistry! And there’s always funny moments, and of course the billionaire book club members make their appearance. And I love what happen with them when Cap found out their relationship. I really don’t want to spoil it, but I love when Lena left and Theo just confess his feelings to the guys. I think that was so sweet!
The reigning queens of ROM-COM for me has to be hands down Max Monroe. This duo has cornered the market on funny, sweet, sexy, and well-written rom-coms.
We once again are blessed with another Billionaire and his pursuit to find love.
Theo isn’t looking to start anything, and neither is Lena, but their “sexy Italian rendezvous” happens, and the plan is to enjoy each other, no personal stuff just fun in the sun (and the bedroom, and the bathroom, and the living room – I think you know where I am going with this). Their week of fun has to come to an end as Lena needs to return to NYC for her internship, and Theo needs to go back to running his empire.
Only one problem – unbeknownst to each other – they have someone in common. Lena’s brother’s best friend – is Theo, and when they reconnect, it gets a little dicier. The back and forth between these two was hilarious, fun, and sexy, and I couldn’t stop reading!!
The banter back and forth between all the boys from the book club is back again and is just the cherry on the top for me!

Rosanna Destasio’s review Nov 17, 2019 · edit
it was amazing
I don’t think I can ever give Max Monroe less that a 5 star rating. These two are my go to authors when I’m i. A slump. When I want to laugh. When I was to just let go.
They lift my spirits. I really cannot get enough together them.
This time around we have the story of Theo and Lena. Now Lena we know is the sexy sister of Cap. Super over protective Cap. And it’s hilarious that in every book I’ve read so far Cap always gets worked up by Harrison pretending to be interested in Lena. Making Cap loose his crap!!
Theo is one character that I’ve been wanting to read about. He’s so quiet and so reserved. Huge billionaire. Never has any time for himself. Always too busy with life and business to actually have a live life.
These two meet on a whim in Positano in a nightclub that he happens to own. But neither of them know that they have friend in common since they decided that there weren’t going to get personal. No last names. Nothing.
Cap looses his .
Loved every minute of this book. It was sexy AF. These to had such chemistry je was crazy. Sweet little Theo was actually sexy as all hell! We can’t forget Lena though. She too was a sexy little minx.
Can’t wait to read more. Maybe finally Harrison or maybe Quincy?! Who knows and I don’t care just as long as we get another book!!
Max Monroe
Max Monroe never disappoints. The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is an amazing, light and hilarious romantic comedy. It is a story about finding love in the most unexpected time and place, believing in yourself and being brave. To not let anyone crush your dreams and feelings.
”If home is where the heart is, then Lena has my heart for always.”
Theo is a very handsome, hardworking and charming man. He doesn’t have a time for being in a relationship, and his supposedly innocent fling with a mysterious, tempting and beautiful woman turned his world upside down. Lena brought color and happiness into Theo strictly managed life. She made him realize that being in a relationship, with a right woman, can be joyful, fulfilling and simply beautiful.
But what happens when your love interest becomes the forbidden fruit?
Lena is a hardworking and ambitious woman too. She wants to cut off from her reckless past and concentrate on her passion and internship. She doesn’t need any distractions and getting wild with a hot stranger was Lena’s last escapade.
But the world is a small place and a fate put Lena and Theo back together. Their connection and chemistry are even stronger and pull them together like a magnet. Their developing relationship is explosive, swoon-worthy and wonderful to read.
But what happens when being in love eclipse your priorities?
Max Monroe fulfilled my needs with The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister. Lena and Theo stole my heart and the appearance of beloved book club heroes was a cherry on the yummy top.
An arc kindly received in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much!
Ahh, I do love a Max Monroe novel. The continuity of characters, great scenery, just enough steam and loads of laughs. Theo and Lena made for a fabulous story.
I loved this book I am a fan of all things Max Monroe. The new billionaires and the old ones mixing makes this series even better. Seeing Thatch in all his glory getting a run for his money from Cap is even better.
One week on vacation no last names no personal information makes for a great vacation fling.
The boys are back and still reading romance no more poker night. Cap and Thatch go head to head on who can be more outlandish.
Theo is fantastic I love that he opens up and you can see more of the workaholic. He has a soft side that he hides to prove that he is worthy of the family business. His eccentric brother Brogan is his grandpa’s favorite. Brogan is one that I would love to see more of he is crazy and just one of those characters you need to keep seeing.
Lena Cap’s off limits little sister is tring to hard to prove her value and make a career for herself not just rely on her fathers money. Lena is one of the strongest characters. She knows she is bound for greatness she finally decided it’s time to grow up. I love every thing about Lena and her fierce attitude.
This book was just as good as the rest I can’t even decide any more who my favorite couple is. You don’t need to read the other ones to start here but it helps if you don’t want spoilers. But seriously Max Monroe can we please have a Brogan “Bro” book???
Love Lena and Theo!!!
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister from Nickie on November 14, 2019
Sexy and hilarious!
Max and Monroe weren’t kidding when they said this book was funny. There are times I was laughing out loud, and my husband looks at me like I’m nuts. Anyhoo, this is another hit for the fantastic duo!
Theo Cruz is on his way to Positano, Italy for the grand opening of his new club. He needs to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Lena just took her finals at a design school in Milan, and she and her fellow besties go on holiday to Positano for a week of fun and sun to celebrate. While hanging out at the pool of the resort, they get VIP passes to the grand opening of a hot new club in town. Her roommate and new best friend, Pippa, is on a roll tonight, drinking shots of Tequila, something she’s never tried before. Tonight Lena is breaking her no man rule, after nine months. When Lena spots a gorgeous man standing by the bar, she decides to approach him. Turns out he’s not only gorgeous but also funny. While dancing and getting to know Theo, she notices a disturbance at the DJ booth. It’s her roomie trying to take the microphone away from the DJ. Yikes! Lena needs to get Pippa back to the resort before she ends up in an Italian jail. With the help of Theo, they manage to get her down and back to the resort. There goes her chance to hookup with the handsome Theo.
The next morning Theo is having coffee on the balcony of his room when he spots Lena relaxing by the pool. He needs to see her again, so Theo decides to write a note and has it delivered to her by one of the resort employees. Hopefully she also felt the connection they had and agrees to see him at 11pm by the pool.
Skinny dipping in the pool is not something Theo saw happening, but this girl is spontaneous and sexy as shit. Alas, everything was going great till Pippa, who is drunk again, decides to also hang out by the pool. Another night shot to hell by the very entertaining Pippa. This is not going to stop him from spending more time with Lena. So for the remaining days of her holiday they become really close and inseparable. The only problem is that Lena makes these ridiculous rules that they don’t share any personal information and no last names. On their last day at Positano, Lena makes a cowardly move and leaves him a goodby note instead of doing it face to face.
Now that they are both back in New York City, this is where the story gets funny. Theo can’t stop thinking about Lena and he does something he’s never done before. Goes on the web to try to find her by posting a note, hoping she will read it and contact him.
One of his best friends, Cap Hawkins, tells Theo that they are going to a fashion show, to see his little sister who is working for one of the top designers in the city. No matter how hard he tries to get out of it, Theo knows he’s lost this battle. After the show they go backstage, and to Theo’s shock, Cap’s little sister is no other than Lena! This is where the story gets even better!
Buy the book to find out the shenanigans that follow!
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister by Max Monroe continues with a group of close friends who are all billionaires in different businesses. I’ve been following this “family” since the previous two books. The first time I met Lena Hawkins, the heroine in this book, was in My Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend. I immediately fell in love with her and was hoping she would have her own story later. So here we are…
Even though Lena, daughter of a multi-billionaire tycoon, grew up with a golden spoon, she was kind, compassionate, and caring. I’d describe her as a “cool chick,” someone I’d love to be friends with. After being unsure about what to do with her life for so long, she finally decided to follow her passion in fashion design and determined to make a successful career through hard work and dedication. A-week-long rendezvous with a hot stranger in Italy during her school break was only meant to be just a fun passionate fling and nothing more…
Theo Cruz was a workaholic, running both his family business and his own ventures. Never in his mind would he imagine the gorgeous and fun woman who proposed a nothing-personal fling would capture his heart and mind. Even worse, that woman turned out to be one of his best friends’s little sister, someone he should stay away from but couldn’t resist the strong attraction. I love how Theo let Lena set the pace of their relationship, gave her the space she needed, and supported her all along …
I enjoy seeing the previous characters again, their tight friendship and brotherhood. This book is light, no angst, and steamy hot , though I feel like it’s missing the typical LOL elements as seen in the previous books, and I wish to see more of their relationship building. It’s a 4- read for me!
