Publisher's summary

Zoey Stranford might've had a crush on the sexy boy next door since middle school, but she's a woman now, and that crush has turned into a full-blown case of lust. So why is it that at twenty-nine her libido decides to ramp into high gear, making her only focus the intensely sexy, scorching hot boy next door - who is definitely not a boy anymore? The problem is, Zoey and Kaleb have been best friends for as long as she can remember. Not to mention that Kaleb and his brothers are trying to buy Stranford land to build a new resort, and she's more than a little uncertain about his intentions.

Kaleb Walker has had his eye on Zoey for close to twenty years, but never before has he considered taking their friendship to the next level, no matter how many fantasies he's had about her over the years. Suddenly he is hell-bent on having her - in as many ways as possible. Kaleb finds himself in a precarious situation. His brothers have nominated him to pursue Zoey's father about the land needed to get their new resort off the ground. When he learns Carl Stranford is on the brink of foreclosure and Zoey might lose her house and the land, Kaleb must convince her to put aside her pride and let him help her.

It doesn't take long before the flames start burning bright and hot, and the two of them burn up the nights and the days as they explore each other's forbidden fantasies. But can their friendship survive a business transaction or the new friends-with-benefits clause? Or will they realize that they've been overlooking something much deeper that's been right in front of them all along?

Good story-bad narration

Both narrators have ridiculous voices for women—always sounding like catty teenagers. I could handle Freddie Bates as the lead male character by that’s it. Eliza Grace sounded like a petulant adolescent for most of the lead female’s dialogue.

I realize this is a personal taste/subjective issue, but that’s my two cents.

It was ok

Nothing here was bad, just everything was ok. I found myself just a bit bored, I felt Zoey could've been a bit more stronger, there was no fight in her, a complete contradiction in terms. I didn't warm to her at all,

I couldn't feel their love, felt she was just like any other of Kaleb's girlfriends. Didnt feel any sort of love between them both, just sex, no real connection.

Eliza Grace voice didn't seem to match the character of Zoey, however Freddie made up on that.

Surprise Performance!

A friend of mine recommended this series to me and I just happened to notice they were on audible and decided to try the audio version. What a surprise on many levels! Nicole Edwards is a new to me author and I am so happy I got the recommend because just after book 1, I can tell I'm going to love this series.

It is a perfect mix of hot & sexy, emotional, taboo, sweet, romantic and angsty. I loved every part of it. I really am looking forward to hearing the stories behind the other Walker brothers. It's going to be difficult for me to pick a favorite.

Freddie Bates & Eliza Grace were able to perform the characters with an easy & and believable quality. They have great tone and inflections and were able to deliver a really fantastic performance.

3.5 to 4 Stars

This was good. I'm not the biggest fan of friends to lovers just because I don't really enjoy unrequited love. The only thing that made this stand out more is a bit of development half way through the book. It's a spoiler so I won't give up the goods, however, it turned a mediocre trope into a bit of excitement. I borrowed the audiobook on audible escape and really loved the two narrators. I'm pretty picky about narrators and I would happily listen to more books done by them.

That Zoey & Kaleb were best friends for most of their lives first.

2/3 HOT SEX + 1/3 DECENT STORYLINE = 3.5 SEXY STARS

This book was a pleasant surprise of awesomely hot sex and a good enough storyline to keep me hooked and purchasing book two already. I LOVE a good "we've been friends since we were kids" type of romance story, so this one was right up my alley. Kaleb and Zoey were awesome, if not a bit over dramatic in some scenes. I was reminded a bit of a Maya Banks' series, so perhaps Nicole Edwards is a protege of Banks? The female narrator left much to be desired, but Bates was good. I wouldn't suggest spending a credit but I'd definitely recommend this for a sale and for someone that really really wants some sex with a side of story!

Too hot to handle

It took me far to long to get into this series. I'm glad I'm finally on the boat and have been shown the beauty that is the land of the Walker boys.
