When a scorching one-night stand between best friends absolutely, definitely shouldn’t happen again…

How to resist sleeping with your best friend when you’re stuck in a hotel room in Vegas with the charming, glasses-wearing hottie.

1. Slather your face in a grapefruit mask
2. Wear a big, fluffy robe
3. Make him do the same.

Oops.

Didn’t work. Turns out our libidos had other plans.

But, no biggie. After epic, soul-shattering banging, I’ll just put the genie back in the bottle the next morning. Only, that’s easier said than done. After years of scraping by, Nolan and I just landed the big break of a lifetime for our scrappy online restaurant review show. We’re going to New York for a month.

Just the two of us. TOGETHER ALL THE TIME.

But I’ve already lost my best friend once, so I’ll do whatever it takes to resist thoroughly delicious Nolan again.

Until I learn whatever it takes might cost me everything.



I read this book in one sitting, I’m not sure how much time had actually had passed but it had felt like it was minutes, I was completely enamored with the story. Emerson and Nolan are vloggers that are trying to make it as food critics which is a new storyline for me which was refreshing. As they work together they slowly start to get feelings for one another but when they get the chance to further their careers will they take it and be able to hold back their feeling or will they give in to the feeling that they had been holding back for so long.
This was a friend to lovers with great chemistry and banter which is always a win for me.
