A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT is Book 2 in Christine Warner's
Friends First series. Although I hadn't read the
previous book in this series, after reading A FRIENDLY
ARRANGEMENT, I am dying to give it a whirl. I love
"friends-to-lovers" stories. Nothing is more truly
romantic than two people who have that bond of friendship
and adding a little extra heat to the mix. A FRIENDLY
ARRANGEMENT does not disappoint and is perfect for
readers who love "friends-to-lovers" romances.
Although A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT has familiar and favorite
tropes, Christine Warner does a great job fleshing out
the main characters and adding depth to the story. Having
the story told from two perspectives is crucial in
understanding the characters and made me enjoy A FRIENDLY
ARRANGEMENT even more. Both Holly and her best friend
Roth are flawed and complex characters. Holly is an
interesting character and I sympathized with her need for
independence from her family. I like how Holly and Roth
are supportive of each other and their complicated family
relationships.
You can't help but feel the chemistry between Holly and
Roth as you read A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT. Christine Warner
expertly captures the love that these two characters have
always had for each other, and the explosive range of
emotions they go through in this story. Because they have
such a tight friendship, the steaminess and eroticism
they finally give in to is fierce.
I love the pacing of this story and the way the romance
evolves from fun and flirty to something more passionate
and serious. I like how Holly and Roth are slowly
seducing each other and the way their desire becomes like
a guilty pleasure they can't deny.
A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT sizzles and is packed with intense
emotion. Christine Warner creates a wildly sexy story
about characters you care about. The super steamy scenes
and lighter moments balance out the drama and make a
balanced and entertaining story. A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT
got me invested in the characters and made me laugh and
cry. I can't wait to read the next book by Christine
Warner!
What happens when your plus one becomes "the one"? Holly Haggerty and Roth Esterly are two besties with everything in common--they're neighbors, career-driven, and commitment-phobes. Tired of always being set up on dates by well-meaning friends and family, they take matters into their own hands: they will be the other's plus one--a little friendly arrangement between friends. Easy…until a steamy night where they cross the line. But that's okay, they'll add an addendum--one that includes a little action between the sheets…on top of the sheets…and without the sheets. But there are rules. Dating and sex are exclusive until one of them decides to terminate the agreement. No slumber parties. And if either party becomes emotionally involved they will break things off with no hard feelings. When unexpected news changes their plans and turns their fun arrangement into something more serious, Holly and Roth must come to terms with what's more important--what they thought they wanted, or what they really need.
