My brother's best friend has a proposition for me. Have I mentioned he's a sexy single dad? Tell me more...
There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn't the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He's friends with my brother, he's a single dad, and he's a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don't-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign.
Then he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion, and the night unfolds in ways I never expect.
***
I have three good reasons to keep my hands off Roxy Sterling--her brother's my business manager and good buddy, my kid is the center of my world, and the last time I fell hard for a woman I was burned so badly that my interest in relationships has gone up in flames. But once I bring Roxy's body next to mine on the dance floor, I want all the not-safe-for-work things I can't have with her. So I make a proposition.
Then I learn exactly how risky we might be.
Miles Hart is the youngest of the Heartbreakers trio. He's had his stardom and solo career, and he is a single dad. But he is now home in Manhattan to reunite with his brothers and their band, and provide a stable environment for his growing son.Roxy is Mackenzie's best friend and will soon by Miles' sister-in-law. She left a high powered career to start her own business that she loves. But the one thing she really wanted seemed out of her reach so she decided to take care it her own way to get the end result.
Miles is popular, charming, funny, protective, and just a really good guy. And Roxy is sweet, spunky, and determined to make it on her own.
They have reasons that make them think they would be a bad idea. He's lived the high-profile rock star life and been burned by love. She's the sister of his investment manager and friend. She's got a secret, and has a lot going on in her life. She does not want to hurt her brother's business, and they also share a friend group. So there is plenty to keep them apart.
But as they find themselves spending more time together and partaking in a bit of friendly flirting, it is hard to stop the simmering attraction. But they also can't stop the fears, insecurities, and the consequences that could occur if they make a mistake.
But as they find themselves spending more time together and partaking in a bit of friendly flirting, it is hard to stop the simmering attraction. But they also can't stop the fears, insecurities, and the consequences that could occur if they make a mistake.
Will they act upon it and have a fling? And are they willing to take the risk and see if it could be more?
This is a sweet, sexy, romantic friends-to-lovers story with a little twist. It brings back his brothers Campbell and Miller, Mackenzie, Ally, and their combined kids. Miles' son, Ben, was totally adorable and smart for a six year old. Like the others in this series, it also focuses on somewhat untraditional families. I love this group and the epilogues made me so happy.

Miles Hart is a sexy single dad, recently returned to rejoin his brothers in a music career. Roxy Sterling is his business manager’s sister, and though he’s wildly attracted to her, his last relationship crashed and burned, leaving him with a broken heart. When he needs a plus one at his high school reunion, Roxy is his first choice. They are friendly and have a rapor that will keep any single women on the prowl away from him. As soon as they realize just how smoothly things go on their first plus-one night, they decide the arrangement could be beneficial to both of them. Miles and Roxy are so much fun together. Their banter and camaraderie is clear from the beginning, when they really do think their arrangement will be little more than a plus-one when needed. When the sparks start flying in a way they can’t ignore them anymore, the story shifts from one of friends being there for each other to one that forces Miles and Roxy to examine what is most important.
I love that each of the books in this series also have a precocious, spirited child as the center of his (or her in Sam’s case) parent’s attention. Ben is such a cute kid, and his ability to see things clearly is a fun piece of the story. Miles’s siblings and their families add further fun and lightness to the story, and I loved seeing what each of the brothers was currently up to (including ribbing their youngest brother incessantly).
This was a fun, sexy story full of ups and downs. I love the attention to family and chasing dreams as Miles works to get back what he once had with his brothers and Roxy starts the book going after what she has always wanted. Watching these characters become a family even when they couldn’t see it happening was an especially enjoyable part of the arch.

~MILES~
I sit down again, scrubbing my hand over my jaw. My son looks at me, his eyes big.
“What?”
“Dad!”
“Dad what?”
“Daddy, you’re going to play at your high school,” Ben practically shouts.
I hold up my hands. “Whoa. Not so fast.”
He crinkles his brow. “But you told everyone. You said you would. That’s so cool that you told everyone you were going to become a rock star, and you did. And now you can go back and play for them.”
William parks his chin in his hands and stares at me, batting his eyes. “What would Ed Sheeran do?”
I sigh, partly because I’m not sure if I’ll run into the same situations I try to avoid—like the come-ons at the Bingley School. But honestly, the reunion intrigues me. I loved high school. Loved the friends, loved the good times, loved how it all rolled into some of the best moments of my life. Playing at the reunion also sounds like exactly what I should do—honor the promise I made fifteen years ago. “Looks like I have a reunion to go to.”
But when William’s sister walks into the café, I’m not thinking of high school or teenage years. I’m thinking about how sexy she looks in those jeans and that green top that slopes down one shoulder, revealing pale skin I’d like to—
I slam on the brakes.
She’s your buddy’s sister. And you’re not interested in anything serious because serious sucks.
“Hey, Roxy,” I say, then do my damnedest to strike the dirty thoughts from my mind as we chat and William tells her all about my reunion promise.
Even though I’m thinking about her legs most of the time.
For the record, it’s really fucking hard not to think about something when you know you’re not supposed to—that pretty much guarantees it’s the only thing in your head.
But once the food arrives, the chicken sandwich is so insanely tasty it distracts me from imagining how my friend’s sister would look naked.
God bless chicken sandwiches.
