Publisher's summary

Justin and Toni were friends.

Besties, with a whole list of life rules developed over a friendship that started when they were kids. As long as they stuck to the rules, even when they blended a business relationship into the friendship, things went off without a hitch.

But then one of them broke the rules - it was Justin. Justin broke the rules - and Toni has been mad about it ever since.

She's spent the last several years traveling the globe to cultivate her business, but now she's back in town. Her only goals? Help her parents with "Mr. Bestseller's" signing at the store, help them pack up their house to sell, and get out of town without too much interaction with her former best friend.

Mr. Bestseller has different goals.

He broke the rules - no getting around that, and he's not trying to. His main goal now that Toni is finally home is to get her to hear him out...and get his friend back.

Neither of them anticipated that the rift in their relationship would be the catalyst for seeing each other in a whole different light. But now that they do, they're wondering if it may be time to make some amendments to those rules.

Or at the very least...bend a few.

Contains mature themes.

BFFs

I love a good BFF story! The dynamics of this relationship was powerful and says something about friendship. I also appreciate the reminders of the previous books!

Great chemistry

Least favorite of the series but still enjoyed it. Extremely frustrating at times and took way too long to become a couple. Wish we had more of them as an actual couple.

Wonderful!

This was so much fun to listen to. It was humorous and frustrating too. I didn't think the two main characters would ever pull it together even though they loved each other.

Cutest Story Ever

Great story, made me tear up and laugh a few times. I love Toni & Justin's chemistry... From best friends to lovers . **Round of Applause** Stop playing with the people you really love and let them know how you feel! I found Toni's character frustrating because she was so damn indecisive. Why would you lead someone on and keep pushing them away? ?You gave him all of your cookies and still couldn't make your mind up! The book is steamier than I imagined it would be! LOL Besides that, great love story. They really deserved each other.

Christina, you have gained a new fan with this series :)

Wright Brother's Series

It was easy reading I finish listening to them as well as reading the books on my own. I read the books first and then bought the audible books.
