"A masterpiece of erotic tension and yearning!"

FALLING FOR HIS BEST FRIEND is Book three in Katee
Robert's Out of Uniform series. Avery Yeung and
Sheriff
Drew Flannery have been best friends since they were kids.
It's only natural that Drew would want to help Avery in
her
moment of need. However, what she wants and needs is a
baby
before she fears she is unable to biologically have one.
Complicating things further is the fact that Drew's offer
to get Avery pregnant has him reexamining his feelings for
her. I think Katee Robert nails it with this friends-to-
lovers romance and skillfully stretches out the tension.
I love friends-to-lovers stories and FALLING FOR HIS BEST
FRIEND is a good example of why. I think Katee Robert does
a great job of establishing the friendship between Avery
and Drew, making it real and very believable. It's very
evident, after reading a few chapters, that there has
always been an undercurrent of attraction between the two
friends. It's this underlying attraction, particularly on
Drew's part, that I think gives both of them that added
push and permission to go ahead when Drew suggests they
try
to naturally conceive a baby. This established, intense
connection makes the reveal of this dormant desire so
delicious. The more Drew and Avery push the boundaries of
their relationship, the hotter and scarier it becomes to
them.
Although there is a lot of sexy fun, there are a lot of
sources of conflict in FALLING FOR HIS BEST FRIEND as
well.
I like that Katee Robert decides to tell the story from
both points of view to help the reader navigate through
the
complications that spring up. Avery's very old-fashioned
and judgmental grandparents act as an irritant in the
lives
of her, her sister Alexis, and her widowed father. This
dysfunctional aspect of her family rings true and adds
layers to her personality. Drew also proves to be a very
complex character and running from personal demons tracing
back to his childhood. He is a juxtaposition -- a strong,
in
control sheriff while also being emotionally fragile in
some ways.
FALLING FOR HIS BEST FRIEND is a masterpiece of erotic
tension and yearning. This is a great book for a reader
looking for a steamy romance and a story with layered
relationships. I hope to read a story with Avery's sister
Alexis soon. Alexis has had a very difficult time lately
and she deserves a happy ending and a strong and sweet guy
to give her some much needed emotional support. I look
forward to the next book by Katee Robert.
SUMMARY
He's going above and beyond the call of duty... Avery Yeung's biological clock just went off early.
Thanks
to her family's medical history, she's running out of
time
to get knocked up. And the only guy within donating
distance? Her overprotective-and irritatingly hot-best
friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor... Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew Flannery's dead body.
While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with
his past, Drew won't let Avery shop for a "popsicle pop."
He'll do what's right for his best friend by doing
his best friend. But only if they do it properly. But there's nothing "proper" about it. Between the bed,
the
kitchen counter, and against his squad car, Avery and
Drew
are having the hottest sex ever. They can't get
enough of it-or each other. And without knowing it,
they've
crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship
forever...
