“Cathryn Fox is always hot, sexy and delicious.” – Lisa Renee Jones, New York Times bestselling author the of The Inside Out series. Veterinarian, Reese Scott can’t believe it when her dossier contains vouchers to South Africa to go cage diving with sharks. And when not being intimidated by sea creatures, she’s supposed to be having hot monkey sex with a stranger. So why would her best friend … stranger. So why would her best friend Cole Rayburn be involved in her adventure?
Except when Cole takes his shirt off, and she sees he’s filled out in all the right places, she can’t help but want a closer look…touch. Too bad he’ll always see her as the tomboy from next door. When she finds herself inside a shark cage and in his arms, she knows she has to do something about it.
But what if she tries to seduce her best friend and he rejects her? More importantly…what if he doesn’t?

Under Pressure is a sexy friends-to-lovers romance. Reese is off on the adventure of a lifetime, sent by her friends to celebrate “the second half of my twenties in an epic way–that is, finding a hot guy and having back-bending sex before returning home.” And yet, how can she do that when her protective best friend, Cole, is along for the ride, apparently having been sent by whatever well-meaning friend set her up on this adventure.
As they begin their adventure cage diving with sharks, Reese thinks she sees a flash of something unnamed in Cole’s eyes, and her body answers back. When Reese tells Cole all about her friends’ New Year’s Eve pact, Cole takes it upon himself to help her out.
“So, by having sex, I’m helping you from becoming a crazy cat lady. And you know, since you’re here on this adventure for epic sex, and I don’t happen to have any plans, we’re killing all kinds of birds with one stone.”
“So, you’re keeping me from becoming a crazy cat lady and helping me fulfill my adventure.”
But, can the two best friends really keep the new (well, not so new since they’ve actually crushed on each other their whole lives, but never let each other know for fear of ruining their friendship) hot chemistry to just this one trip and go back to being just friends when it’s over? That’s the plan, but we all know that plans rarely go the way they’re intended.
I like this third entry in the Dossier series, especially Cole. He was so sweet and so protective of Reese, and when they got together, whew, talk about H O T!!! I really hope there’s more to come from this series, because it gets hotter with each story.
Reese made a pact with her best friends that they send one another on an epic vacation for their twenty-fifth birthday. The only requirement-epic sex! When Reese receives her dossier, it contains tickets to Mexico and adventure expeditions while there-including cage diving with sharks! Being a veterinarian, Reese loves all animals. It’s not a far stretch to think she would love an adventure to get up close with a great white. What she doesn’t understand is why her forever best friend, Cole, is along for the trip! If she is supposed to find someone to have hot, epic sex with, how will that happen if over-protective Cole is around?
I have loved this Dossier series by Cathyrn Fox and this book is a great addition! Fun, quick reads, Cathryn packs a lot of story in these pages!! Reese, of course, has been dumped in the past, and vulnerabilities are there. Cole has always been a true friend and a real pick me up when she needed it most. Having been working across the country from Reese, both realize how much they mean to each other once on vacation. Now to act on it, or not??
I love best friends to lover’s stories and this one works wonderfully. Totally believable and truthful, you could tell they really cared for each other. If you are a fan of this trope, then grab this one! Perfect for something in between those long novels! I highly recommend Under Pressure and the entire Dossier series!
I enjoyed this book, it’s a friends to lovers story which can be quite clichéd but this was well written
This is a fast-paced read with plenty of steam. Cole and Reese have been friends forever but when they go on a trip together to swim with sharks, attraction sparks. Great characters and a great story. A good read.
Cathryn Fox does not do tame. Her stories are naughty, shocking and intense. Under Pressure is not afraid to pack on the seduction. Reese and Cole are a lesson in adventure just waiting to be explored. Dangerous liaisons are around every corner. Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime.
