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?

Lena and Theo’s banter and flirting were off the charts hot from the beginning. This was a great read, just as you would expect from Max Monroe. I could not put it down. The steam was perfectly balanced with funny moments and great bits that gave all the feels. Forbidden never felt so good and I loved every second with these characters and can’t wait for more. Highly recommend. By Laura
NO SPOILERS!
Max Monroe delivered all the laughs, all the feels, and pure romantic comedy PERFECTION with The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister! I absolutely LOVED Theo and Lena’s sexy, hilarious, swoon-worthy, and highly entertaining story. It made me laugh, smile, and swoon like a fool, and I freaking loved every minute of it.
The storyline and characters were beyond phenomenal, and I once again loved and adored Max Monroe’s writing style and flipping hilarious sense of humor. These two ladies make romantic comedy seem effortless, and they never fail to deliver amazing, MUST READ love stories.
Theo and Lena’s story in The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister has been one of my favorite standalones in the Billionaire Collection thus far, and I can’t wait to devour more romcoms from this MUST READ author duo!
I always look forward to a book by Max Monroe because I know I’m in for a barrel of laughs. This one didn’t disappoint. I was laughing from beginning to end. This book was a joy to read because it also delivered on the feels and heat. I loved the way Lena loosened up Theo. Those two balance each other and fit so well. Too bad for Theo when ha finds out Lena is his friend’s little sister. That’s when things get really interesting especially when Cap is involved. This book is one that’s hard to put down because the characters just hook you right in.
Every time I enter one of Max Monroe’s stories, I know I’m in for quite the steamy and hilarious ride, partly because they create some of the most amazing alpha male heroes in romantic comedies – ones who aren’t afraid to claim who and what they want regardless of the obstacles, but also because the sassy and sultry heroines who they match their leading men up with are their perfect counterparts in every way, making it only a matter of time before they can’t keep their hands off each other, even if it breaks a number of their personal rules, or in Lena and Theo’s case, breaks bro-code law, and when I say breaks…I mean annihilates it so much so that there’s definitely no going back and frankly I don’t think Theo cares one iota about the fallout for this particular ‘conspiracy’ because if it means tightening up those strings he never thought he wanted to have the chance of keeping Lena by his side, he’s more than happy to continue to break every single solitary rule there is when it comes to Cap’s little sister.
One aspect of Max Monroe’s writing that I’ve always appreciated is the amount of wit and sarcasm they infuse into their story lines. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the smexy times they create for their characters to experience, but what always captivates my attention are the snarky interactions between the male and female leads as well as the exchanges that take place among their families and friends. And because this is Cap’s baby sister we’re talking about, you can be dang sure that he has more than a few choice words for his once best friend and while two words seem to stand out between them – those words being ‘bro-code,’ what’s most entertaining is witnessing Theo and Lena trying to keep their feelings on the DL for fear what those around them will think, particularly a cocky and nosy big brother.
Anytime I get to catch up with some of my favorite Max Monroe characters, I’m always left with s smile on my face and and a fit or two of laughter due to some zippy one-liners and/or tell it like it is feedback, and that is most definitely the case in The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister, and while the title may indicate something taboo, that is so not the case with this story because while the old adage of bros before hoes still carries weight in contemporary society, the fact that Lena doesn’t have one shred of home-wrecker in her demeanor makes it a mute point, especially given the fact that they didn’t know who one another was when they first hooked up all those years ago.
Theo and Lena’s story is another fun, steamy, and snarky read from the comedic minds of Max Monroe; they’re definitely one of my go-to authors when it comes to romantic comedies that bring the heat and the hilarity to every story they write, and I’ll never tire from being in one of their worlds because by the time I’m finished with a book, I’ve had a good laugh and one heck of a time reading about the hijinks and antics of their dynamic characters.
4.5 Poison Apples
What happens when one sassy, sweet woman meets a gorgeous billionaire while in a foreign country? Why, a hot little romp of course! Then what happens what that woman turns out to be said billionaire’s best friend’s little sister? Some definite oops!
I swear, Max Monroes’ rom-coms keep getting funnier and sexier and even better with every release because Theo and Lena are FIRE!! I loved everything about these two together. And did I mention the cameos by Cap and gang? Yep. And they made the story that much better because everything is better when this crew is together.
Five rendezvous stars Lena and Theo !!!
Max Monroe never disappoints!
I was waiting for Lena’s story since I’ve read The Billionaire Best Friend.
And it was worth waiting.
“The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister” is a witty romance story that will make you laugh on every single page.
Lena and Theo’s relationship started as secret rendezvous but what it became was one explosive, beautiful and sweet love story.
If you’re looking for a fun romantic comedy book that will make to enjoy trough the whole book, then this one is definitely for you!
You can’t go wrong with Max Monroe. This is part of the Billionaire Book Club series and while it could be read as standalone, there’s of course benefit to knowing the stories of all the other characters before you dive in.
This love story starts as a fling in Italy with no personal information shared. These two don’t know they are connected by Caplin Hawkins, who is absolutely not okay with any of his friends even thinking about his sister let alone dating or… friendshipping them.
So good! The banter, the steamy scenes, these swoony billionaires and their feisty better halves are all so much fun to read!
*4,5 stars*
There’s just something about stories that these authors give you, that you can’t help but laugh out loud when reading no matter how you are feeling. I really enjoyed Theo and Lena’s story. It’s been truly a rollercoaster ride of emotions but one you don’t want to miss out on!
Lena has been trying to get her fashion career going and when she’s finally given the chance to work for a big designer, she won’t give it up for anything. Her love life is non-existent and she lays her focus just on her job but when she’s on vacation for a few days, it’s time to let her hair loose and maybe who knows find someone that doesn’t want any strings attached. When she first meets Theo, there’s an instant attraction between them and they are enjoying each other’s company. With rules in place, they say goodbye at the end of her vacation but there still seems to be something lingering between them….
When they meet again by chance, they’ll never guess who’s standing before them but most importantly they find out something more that makes their relationship harder to handle. Secrets will come out and even though their bond keeps getting stronger, Lena is not prepared to give her career up for anything… Will Theo be able to break down her walls and make her see that they are worth fighting for?…
The Billionaires Forbidden Little Sister – Max Monroe
Another fabulous five star story from Max Monroe’s Billionaires world.
I thought it couldn’t get any better than Cap and Ruby’s story but I think this one just capped it off. Of course Cap still inserts himself into this story, after all, it’s his little sister Lena.
Lena’s sassy but oh so witty personality just makes for brilliant reading and factor in the ever patient but equally witty Theo and you’ve got a couple bound to set the sheets on fire.
Fabulous story, brilliantly funny but equally, a deep introspective for Lena and her ever present witch of a mother and her snide, backhanded remarks about Lena’s life choices. Love all the Billionaires and their wonderful women. A great mix of personalities.
So glad I’ve been able to read these stories and would recommend them to anyone wanting some fun and very entertaining reading.
Looking forward to more, or hoping for more from this mad bunch of billionaires.
I am absolutely loving anything written by the writing duo Max Monroe and as soon as The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister hit my eReader, I was all over that! I mean have you read the blurb yet? That blurb had me laughing before I even started the book and who does not love a brother’s best friend romance!
When Theo Cruz finds himself falling for a woman he had an amazing encounter with while travelling, he had no idea she was his friend’s little sister, Lena. One that should have been off limits. And yet when they meet again and discover who they really are to each other, the sparks are still there and is completely undeniable. Let me tell you Max Monroe definitely knows romcoms. The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister was full of steamy chemistry and witty banter. I loved the characters and their journey so much and the story was fun, steamy and full of laughs!
4.5-stars! Loved it! Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading!
So last book I fell head over heals over Caplin. He was it for me! I swore no other Max Monroe hero could make my heart flutter the way Cap does. Thatch was no more the #1 and was bumped to #1.5 because come on, its Thatch. Then Max Monroe decided to write about Cap’s sister, Lena. I was in the safe zone right? This is her story. I won’t fall over the hero of the story. Nope. Not me!
Liar! I am such a bad liar. I fell head over heals for Theo too! I was in trouble. I mean he turned me into a puddle of goo more than once during this book. I wanted to poke Lena’s eyes out for being…well difficult.
So I am in a rut. Thatch redeemed the #1 spot because I just can’t stop loving the goof. Cap got hotter because he finally grew up (Thank you Ruby!), and Theo was just a surprise! Don’t worry, I love Lena still and am rooting for these two. Max Monroe has done it again! Made me laugh so hard I almost couldn’t breath. They had me swooning and poking at the pages! Great story and amazing characters that you can not get enough of!
When workaholic Theo goes overseas to coordinate the opening of a new club, the last thing he expects is to find someone that makes him want to stop working. After meeting Lena all Theo wanted to do was spend what little time they had together, knowing there was an end in sight there were rules laid out to make their parting easier. Neither knew very much about the other and when all was said and done, Theo was left wishing he knew just who Lena was, wishing that he didn’t let her go. When he gets back to New York, and back to his regular life, he is shocked when he sees Lena again, but thats not where the surprises end. Nope, Theo finds out that Lena is non other than one of his best friend’s little sister. Now the two have to figure out just how to navigate this minefield that neither knew they were entering. Will Theo lose his best friend and get the girl, or will he end up losing both in the end?
I think out of all the books in the Billionaire series, this is my absolute fav! I laughed and giggled pretty much the whole book, throw in the drama and some steamy naughty bits and this turned out to be a real page turner. I give this 5 stars.
The dynamic duo is back again! Max Monroe never fail to let me down when I need a hilarious rom-com that brings the heat. And The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister had me laughing so hard that at times there was no sound coming out.
I loved the instant attraction between Lena and Theo. The banter. The flirting. The boldness. The fun. The rules that they both wanted to break a minute after they were written. Too bad the clock was ticking on their rendezvous from the moment it started.
I liked that it was Theo, the perpetual bachelor, who threw caution to the wind in hopes to find his mystery woman. And when fate threw her hat in the ring and they found themselves face to face again, it was all they could do to keep their hands to themselves. I could feel the shock and excitement and want pouring off of them. There was just one problem, Cap. Lena’s overbearing older brother and one of Theo’s best friends. The touch of the forbidden only upped the ante on all the time they spent together. Until The found out…
The crew in this book was almost as good as Theo and Lena. I’ve got two words for you- drunk Pippa. And lets be real, catching up with the rest of the billionaire’s, especially as they dissect romance novels, is worth its weight in gold. But it was the pure romance between Lena and Theo that stole the show. They were a wonderful blend and humor and heat and heart. And that ending proves that when it comes to love, there is no set of rules that can contain it.
It’s been awhile since I last read a fantastic rom-com from the talented writing duo Max Monroe. Up until The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister, I totally forgot how funny, sweet and unforgettable their work could be.
I adored the chemistry and connection between Lena and Theo. Their witty banters, sexy adventures, and secretive rendezvous made me laugh and warmed my heart at the same time. I loved that besides sharing a passionate, sexy and romantic relationship, Lena and Theo were supportive and encouraging of each other’s personal achievement. Another favourite of the book was the crazy hilarious billionaire bad boys and wacky friends who added so much more sparks to the already amusing story.
I totally enjoyed this hilarious and feel-good rom-com and would definitely recommend it. This book is a complete standalone, but if you haven’t already known Theo’s buddies, you would be tempted to go and check out the stories of the other colorful members of the billionaire bad boys.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Holy hotness people….. this was one book filled with explosive chemistry from beginning to end. Theo and Lena were two people not looking for anything long term. What happens when you find something so unexpected in the one person you shouldn’t? This book was equal parts hilarious, sexy, fun and flirty that I devoured the story in a day. I have fallen in love with these characters and you will too!
Max Monroe has done it again! They’re brilliant brand of comedy really delivered with Lena and Theo. From her general quirky and no filter nature to the appearance of some of our favorite, loveable supporting characters. I laughed from beginning to end. These ladies have found a formula that works and works well. If you love laughter with some steamy romance thrown in then you will love The Billionaires Forbidden Little Sister. And I promise once you read this you’re going to want to seek out the rest of their Billionaire Bunch.
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister was an unexpected romance between Lena and Theo. There is added drama when it turns out that Lena is the sister of Theo’s best friend. It has Max Monroe’s signature comedy that has you laughing so hard.
Lena is a fashionista. She would definitely fit in with Serena and Blair from Gossip Girl. She meets Theo and one night changes everything. They agree to ‘friendshipping’. They set rules that basically say that they will be friends with benefits for 7 days. They spend all their time together and when they leave, they realize they want more.
They bump into each other about a week later at a fashion show. Cap, Lena’s brother, introduces them thinking that they don’t know each other. They agree to continue their relationship. No labels.
I loved Lena’s humor and Theo’s alpha male personality. They are so good together and have some spicy chemistry.
I wish that the relationship didn’t feel so forced but it was still an enjoyable read.
I give The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister 3 stars. It’s a sensual forbidden love story with passionate characters. Max Monroe did a great job of making these characters likable and humorous.
I love this couple, Lena and Theo story, their chemistry their interaction was amazing, I love the reappearance of characters I love. How Lena was looking for just a fling, and then she finds Theo and more surprises arise, giving this story another side. As always the humor behind Max Monroe writing is such a pleasure to have, this book is another nail for the Rom Com romance stories. I absolutely recommend it.
HOLA!!!! Again with the hot billionaires. Again with the mysterious strangers. Again with a winner for this author. Theo Cruz has earned his way. He is a billionaire with money to burn and no time to play. He is determined that work is the only thing for him.
Lena Hawkins comes from money through her father and brother but wants to earn it her way. She is tired of drifting through life on the coattails of others. So she takes control, goes into fashion school and is starting a new career on her own.
The chance encounter between them on a romantic Italian vacation was ideal. Even if they both wondered what could be, they agreed to the time limit and said goodbye.
But then they said HELLO!!!! Who would have imagined the real life connection they had? And how were they going to survive?
Hilarious, romantic, and definitely steamy all the way around….
In the Billionaire’s world created by Max Monroe, the heroes are loud with no filter, with their big hearts, having now weekly book clubs sessions, working hard and finding their match in some unexpected ways.
As part of the last two bachelors of the group, Theo was having no issues to be married to his job, even with women every minute counted, no time wasted, until his trip to Italy. Until he finally met his match not really knowing who she was. Because being abroad with that tempting siren and all her rules to keep it just in the moment felt right. But not for long.
I enjoyed a lot Lena and Theo’s story. She was the wild side that made him want more things, being more spontaneous. They were a great match for sure. It was less crazier than the other books but still hilarious, swoony, smoking hot and definitely a bit naughty!
I appreciated the instant connection and chemistry between the two, how natural they were together. The built up of the relationship was great, going with the ups and downs, insecurities. I liked how work driven they were, achieving their dreams and trying to find a certain balance in their lives.
I was curious about Theo who seemed to be more secretive than his other friends, obtrusive and a bit mysterious. Watching that man falling in love was so interesting. Especially about his best friend’s little sister. Not the guy her brother and also his best friend, Cap would have suspected.
Theo and Lena were great together, the chemistry was off the charts. The supportive and crazy characters added a bit of madness. I adored how everything melt perfectly. Somehow I felt like the issues and drama between them felt a little forced.
But still, I enjoyed reading it! The whole thing was entertaining and hilarious with a hint of sweetness. I can’t wait for the last one to meet his match.
