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.

The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is a great example of why I love rom coms. The dynamic duo of Max Monroe deliver once again with another hilarious, sexy, and swoontastic read filled with the best characters and the most explosive chemistry. This book made me so deliriously happy. I just loved everything about it.
Theo Cruz and Lena Hawkins are amazing together. Oh my goodness!! I love them so much. I mean, I was already halfway in love with Lena after we first met her in My Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend. This story just pushed it over the edge. I absolutely loooove how perfect they are for each other. They balance each other out. He is the stability she craves while she brings a lightness to his life so he’s not so focused on work. They are seriously the cutest. Oh and it should go without saying but their sexy times will have you reaching for a fan. Theo’s mouth?!…Yes, please!!
If you’re looking for a fun read with great characters, I highly recommend The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister. I’ve really enjoyed this second round of Billionaires. They’ve definitely held their own with the OG’s. I will never ever, not for a million fluffing years, tire of Max Monroe’s group of characters. It’s always a good time when Cap, Thatch, Wes, the rest of the book club and the girls are involved.
Sexy, sassy, fabulous, and hilarious best friend’s sister rom com! There are gut busting laughs throughout the book. The plot is entertaining and engaging from beginning to end.
There are wonderful and endearing characters. If you’ve read the previous books from the Billionaire Book Club, you’ve met most of them. This is Theo and Lena’s story. Lena is Cap’s little sister. I loved Theo and Lena’s chemistry. They really sizzled together. I loved that Lena went after what she wanted & wasn’t shy. Theo is swoony, sweet, and sexy. Cap in particular steals the show in my opinion. He kept me in stitches with his antics.
Max Monroe are amazing authors. Their comedic timing and style are on point. This is a standalone book with a HEA. I highly recommend reading it. I can’t wait for the next book from this dynamic duo writing team!
***ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.***
I don’t know how they do it but each and every time these authors have me laughing out loud. Not sure where their minds go when they’re writing but each time I think, “Um, it’ll be good but not as good as the last time”. Each and every time I’m proved wrong!
Theo and Lena are so sweet. They’re the couple you have to love. Don’t want to spoil any of the story really cause it’s not fair to the author. What I will say is I love the texts between Theo and Carey. Theo’s brother Brogan well, there are no words Bro. I mean who doesn’t love a good pirate story? Bookclub is as awesome as ever. All you every have to do is put Thatcher in a scene and it’s golden.
I flew through this book. The ending is worth the read alone. I seriously laughed out loud once again! If you’re feeling like you need a little pick me up read this book. It’s very cathartic!
Max Monroe have quickly become my favorite Rom Com authors. I was excited to read this story and it was everything I expected and more. Laughing and blushing some of my favorite ingredients for a fun story. This is ABSOLUTELY a must read!!
Just like the rest of this series, this book will having you laughing hysterically. This is another romantic comedy in the Billionaire Series and it has everything from hot romance to pee your pants hilarious. You will see just like all of the other Max Monroe books that a lot of the characters are woven together in all of their storylines. This can be read as a standalone though.
5 Stars
The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is the latest stand-alone rom com by Max Monroe. This fluffing book was AMAZING! It was full of laugh out loud one liners, a storyline that hooks you from the first page, and Max and Monroe’s signature humor. I seriously could not get enough of Theo and Lena.
So let’s say you’re in Italy and you put a strict man-ban on yourself. No men for the entire time. But let’s say you meet the most handsome and enigmatic man while there. Would you break your supposed man-ban?
Well that’s exactly what Lena did. She couldn’t say no to Theo. There were rules put in place to protect both of them. Too bad those rules went out the window…
I cannot say it enough- I LOVED THIS BOOK so much! Max and Monroe continue to outdo themselves time and time again. There is not one thing I would change about this story! Highly recommend reading this book!
I am so in love with romcoms and Max Monroe sure knows who to keep you laughing! I am so excited to once again have the pleasure of visiting this hilariously sexy say anything group of friends.
What happens after a romantic fling in Italy comes home to roost ! When Lena meets a sexy stranger while away at design school she finally is breaking the 9 month dry spell. Theo is Mr. Serious he truly needs to take time for himself and let loose once in a while. That chance meeting is right in front of him when he connects with the most beautiful sexy sassy woman he has ever laid eyes on. No last names, no personal information but a few days of unbridled fun, steam and a connection neither one can deny! They are to have one last meeting but Lena can’t face it so she writes him a letter. She soon has regrets about that and Theo is left with so many questions .They part ways but soon discover the truth Lena is his crazy friend Caps little sister . What a surprise and very awkward LOL ! Keep secrets or come clean that is the name of the game but soon one gets cold feet and the game has changed !!! This was a fabulously funny, sexy laugh out loud whirlwind romance with Lena and Theo! I feel in love with them !
~~Michele McMullen ~~
The Queens of rom-com slayed it again with Lena and Theo’s story!!
When I discovered this duo last year, I immediately became obsessed with how hilarious all these characters are and my obsession grows with every book Max Monroe publishes. Lena is funny, smart, and gives Cap a run for his money like only a little sister can. Theo is focused and lives by his schedule until he meets this fun, amazing woman. Theo made my heart melt. I instantly fell in love with him. They may be opposites but they were exactly what the other needed. Lena made Theo have fun and think about more than work and meetings. Theo encouraged Lena and believed she could be anything she set her mind to. To say these two are perfect for each other is a massive understatement.
I can’t wait to visit these crazy characters again!!
Overall Grade:
There is one guarantee when reading a Max Monroe rom-com. It is a standing guarantee in almost every one of their books: you WILL belly laugh or laugh so hard that your drink of choice will spray forth from your nose or mouth. And it’s true. It is also very true of their latest release, The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister. While reading this lovely tome, I decided that a list was in order. What are all the reasons that The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is worth your time, money, and general health, so here goes:
*The Billionaire Book Club is still in session, and it comes with Thatch and a gavel, a silent Quince who may or may not be real at some point, and more Thatch and Cap tomfoolery.
*A Bruce Willis sighting…no, not THAT Bruce Willis. The one who owns a flower shop in Chelsea.
*A new cast of characters who rival Thatch and Cap in their zaniness: Grandpa Merl who has a penchant for inappropriate Facebook posts and Brogan aka Bro, Theo’s older brother. First, we had Thatch, the master of eccentricity and inappropriateness. Then, we gained Caplin Hawkins. Now, Max Monroe has created Brogan, replete with a piratical eye patch, some well-placed bubbles, and a bathing robe or velour tracksuit as his fashion choices. He finds his place nicely in the realm of over-the-top Max Monroe characters.
*Compassionate Cap. It brings a tear (and maybe a few more) to your eyes.
*All the words. Max Monroe are craftswomen of wit. Seriously. From quoting UB-40 lyrics in their introductory note to phrases like this one: “…but I’m starting to wish someone would put this drunken baby in the [freaking] corner” or “It’s like Mary Poppins’s bag of theft back there” with regards to Lena’s friend, Pippa. Each word and phrase is a comedic pearl or a keen moment of wisdom. Kline Brooks still offers his wise counsel in all things love, Thatch and Cap are still arguing over the ownership of the book club, and Wes is still trying to worm his way out of it. Max Monroe’s words bring life to their stories. I’m always amazed at their ability to intertwine comedy with romance in a seamless way. It’s some of the wittiest writing I’ve read in romance, and The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is no different.
*Theo and Lena. As your hero and heroine, these two are sweet. Theo, Mr. Serious, needs fun in his life. He has been an “all work and very little play” guy. Lena is working to add more structure and focus to her life. In Maybe’s story, she plays the part of wise friend, and that still exists in this one as she instructs Theo in the ways of balance. Their personal strengths transform the other’s life, and it suggests that the best of couples balance each other. I found their coupling sweet and passionate.
*Finally, this book is so pro-woman. Honestly, this is a common trait for a Max Monroe book. Even though the titles of the book suggest these books focus on men, that isn’t entirely the case. What we find are men who empower women, who advocate for their success and equality. This is most clear in TBFLS when Theo espouses his belief in Lena. He has no interest in detracting from her career journey. Instead, he’s most interested in providing her support. This is a message repeated often in this story. The contrast to this message is Lena’s mother, Vicky. Interestingly enough, she is the most villainous character in this book. Max Monroe are suggesting here that we should listen to the wisdom of Theo about the empowerment of women over the staid out-dated musings of the meanest person of the story. From this reader, I loved this pro-woman message. It’s timely and necessary, even in these times.
When you open a Max Monroe book, you open a veritable treasure of humor, passion, romance, and seriousness. You get a little bit of everything. The characters are loveable, the stories tickle your funny bone, and their endings make you sigh with contentment. The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister is no different. It’s another notch on the bedpost of Max Monroe’s success as two of the funniest writers in romance.
Yeah… better come prepared to laugh your a$$ off with this one! Right off the bat you will cracking up with these characters… and that’s just the supporting cast of characters. This is a pretty straight forward romance. Yes, it has that forbidden aspect, with her being his best friends sister and all, but it isn’t filled with ‘should we?’ ‘shouldn’t we’s?’ or any of that rigmarole. No yo-yoing of emotions. There is a break up scene and the grand gesture make up scene, and just one little hiccup along the way. She is outgoing, open minded and the good kind of crazy. He is a serious workaholic who hasn’t had time for relationships. Together they are magnetic. It’s a fun(ny) story in it’s own right, but with the addition of our favorite billionaire buddy’s (who you’ll know if you’ve read some of the other Billionaire books) putting in their two cents throughout, it is a special kind of hilarious. 😀 There is lots of sexy times, so be warned young readers. So, whatcha waiting for? Ready to crack a rib? Go grab this lovely written, easy to read, all round entertaining book hot off the shelf!
*I received an ARC of this book.
This series has been one of my favorites this year, and Theo & Lena might be my favorite couple yet!!
I loved their instant attraction and connection. There were so many moments when I would burst out laughing! It was the perfect mix of sweet, steamy, and absolutely hilarious! Gahhh! So perfect!
Whenever you pick up a book by Max Monroe, you know it will be an amazing rom com. The Billionaire’s Forbidden Little Sister lives up to the hype!
Lena is the sister of another Max Monroe character, Caplin Hawkins. She is studying fashion for year in Milan where she meets the sexy, driven Theo Cruz in one of his nightclubs. Theo just so happens to be one of Caplin’s best friends, and a member of the Billionaire Book Club that includes Tatch, Kline and Wes, Max Monroe’s OG Billionaires. Lena is a wild-child, and Theo is career driven. But Theo has watched his friends settle down one by one, and he’s starting to think maybe he should as well. The first part of their story unfolds in Italy, where they are blissfully unaware of their one-degree-of-separation. They get to know each other, enjoy each other, and learn to lean on each other.
Theo and Lena wind up being the perfect complement that the other needs. They are also hysterical, even giving Cassie and Thatch a run for their money (if you don’t know who Cassie and Thatch are, I suggest you grab Banking the Billionaire ASAP).
Another classic Max Monroe rom com. Grab it now!
Wow! This book was incredible. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. This is definitely the funniest book I have read this year.
The chemistry between Theo and Lena is incredible. You can feel it radiating through them the entire book. They are hilarious. Trust me their banter will keep you entertained from beginning to end.
Lena decides she is going to end her “man drought” as she calls it. She decides to hit a local nightclub not knowing what she is in for. What happens to Lena next is instant chemistry, passion and some mystery or so she thinks. Would she go back if she new Theo was her brothers best friend?
Theo is also not looking for love. He is a workaholic that is uptight and needs a break and a release. He never expects to have a passionate affair with one of his best friends baby sister. Can he stay away from her? How will Caplin react? Will Lena give it a chance?
As you probably already know the side characters also assist in making this book amazing.
YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK NOW. Be ready to laugh hysterically and fall madly in love.
SCORCHING HOT!!!
Another great addition to this series. But hang on, because this one is SCORCHING HOT!!!
Lena is on vacation in Italy. She’s got one week to cut loose before her internship begins. She’s lifting her nine month man ban in hopes of finding herself a fling.
She didn’t have to look very far when she runs into unbelievably gorgeous Theo.
There are rules. It’s only to be one week of passion. No strings. And no exhanging ANY personal information. They agree to a week of sex and fun!
Life goes back to normal once Lena is back in New York, but she just can’t forget him. Maybe he can be more than just an incredible memory. Who would have thought in a city of millions of people, Theo would end up being her brother’s friend. Ut oh!
You’re hooked right?
This story was off-the-charts when it came to chemistry! Holy Cow!!! Your favorite funny men will being making appearances and have you in stitches…because BOOK CLUB continues! And Brogan, you will love hus crazy. Lena was beautiful and uninhibited! Theo was reserved and driven. Together they were explosive! Read it. Laugh a lot! And fall in love!
Just when I think I have read the best from this duo they give me yet another billionaire to fall in love with but this time they have really gone and raised the bar. This book had it all, new characters as well as catching up with the old faithful characters we love so much made this a book that ticked all my boxes because this was a story I couldn’t put down and really didn’t want it to end.
This story starts off as a secret rendezvous with no personal details, it was meant to be a fun Italian fling for Theo and Lena neither of them expecting their paths to cross once back in the States and they certainly didn’t think their friends and family would be the same group of people……
The chemistry Theo and Lena share is intense and seriously hot but it’s the mix of passion and humour that really made this the great read I always hoped it would be. This is couple that you love as individuals but together they become a couple you just can’t get enough off. Theo and Lena don’t have time for love well that’s what they both thought when they started their secret rendezvous but once they go their seperate ways they realise love might just be what they both need. A sassy heroine and a seriously hot hero mixed with the fun and games of the billionaire’s book club give us one of the funnest reads of 2019. The queens of romcom have gone and done it again with this hilarious laugh out loud entertaining read. Looking forward to what’s coming next in 2020 for this very talented duo.
Forbidden Fruit Tastes Devine

Gather your Kleenex because you’re gonna laugh until you cry!
Another Max Monroe MUST READ!
5 star review The Billionaires Forbidden Little Sister by Max Monroe
What happens when a smoking hot rendezvous with a beautiful stranger turns out that the woman in question is the little sister of one of your closest friends Caplin Hawkins. This is the position that Theo Cruz finds himself in when he falls for Lena.
The Billionaires Forbidden Little Sister brought a much needed smile and laugh to me this week. From the first to the last page I was totally invested in Theo and Lena’s story. The chemistry between them is intense and so smoking hot I almost needed a fan.
The appearance of some familiar faces is always fun and in this case made for complications. I loved the predicament that Theo is in when he tries to keep his blossoming relationship with Lena a secret. Oh what a tangles web we weave…
I absolutely loved everything about Theo and Lena, both separately and especially together, what a terrific pairing they make. I particularly enjoyed how work focused Theo, slowly realized that there was so much more to life and that the feisty and sassy Lena was able to show him the light. The fact that neither Theo or Lena ever had the time to fall in love just added to my satisfaction when they did.
This was a laugh out loud, hilarious read that had me receiving many funny looks as I was reading; in fact I was actually snort laughing which made it even worse. It was non stop fun and all I can say is please write more stories with these amazing characters.
Another fabulous book Max Monroe, you two nail the RomCom genre and set a very high bar for others. The Billionaires Forbidden Little Sister is one of the funniest books I have read this year and I cannot wait to listen to it on audio.
I have been anxiously awaiting a Lena book because I really liked her in Maybe’s book and Cap’s book.
Having decided to go to fashion school in Milan, Lena has been holding steady to her man ban. As her schooling comes to a close, she and some fellow classmates decide to vacation in Positano, Italy. Enter, Theo Cruz, CEO of Cruz Entertainment, and workaholic…oh, and did I mention he’s friends with Lena’s brother, Cap? Yeah, Lena doesn’t know that either, so when the two meet and hit it off really well, Lena lifts her man ban for an Italian rendezvous with Mr Serious, Theo, BUT she has some rules and one of them is no last names and no personal info. Lena is serious about choosing herself and her career and finally figuring out her life and her connection with Theo challenges that, but she stays true and leaves at weeks end, leaving the rendezvous behind.
Theo would love to find Lena as she captivated him like no one ever has before. Imagine his surprise when he finds out she not only lives 20 minutes from him but is one of his best friends sisters, completely off limits and forbidden because, you know, bro code and all. You can imagine how Cap is going to take this news! LOL!
This one has all the signature Max Monroe hilarious banter and shenanigans, sexy times out the wazoo, but also some sweet and swoony moments. Enjoyed it!
