Synopsis
One week in paradise will make or break them…
It’s not enough that Kelsey’s husband left her for another woman. Oh, no. The “other woman” had to be her best friend Evan’s fiancée. Not only has she lost her marriage, she fears losing Evan to the lingering awkwardness and humiliation that hangs between them.
Evan has no intention of letting that happen. He’s got plans…namely, an extra plane ticket to Hawaii now his future wife is out of the picture. There’s only one person he wants on the trip with him, the one who’s always been there for him. The one he should never have let slip away into the arms of a traitorous friend who shattered her heart.
Kelsey is anticipating a week of fun in the sun with the man who’s always treated her like a little sister. No one’s more surprised when she discovers that Evan has seduction on his mind—and that she’s more than ready for it.
Love is the most powerful healing force of all. But past demons have a way of ripping open old wounds, and threatening the survival of even the strongest friendship…
Warning: This title contains explicit sex between best friends, graphic language…and a hero who knows how to put the hot in “hot tub”.

My Review
This is the first book in the Ross Siblings trilogy, but you can read the other two as standalones as they give some background on the characters involved in all three books.
Just a warning, this contains a LOT of sex 😉
Kelsey and Evan have been best friends since they attended university together, which was ten years ago and they have always liked each other, but none of them knew and nothing ever happened between them as Kelsey was too shy and Evan didn’t think he was good enough for her.
10 years later, Kelsey is divorced from her husband Todd – who was Evans best friend – because he cheated on Kelsey with Evan’s fiancée, Courtney, which is all kinds of screwed up as Kelsey walks in on them.
With Evan due to have married and it now being called off, he asks Kelsey to go on a week long holiday to Hawaii with him which was supposed to be his honeymoon to kind of rebuild their friendship because since everything came out, it has been awkward between the two of them. Of course, she is wary about going, but she’s been in love with him all these years so she agrees because they both need to get away and relax.
Over the course of the week, things steam up between Evan and Kelsey, but it’s not without its drama, which would come from her ex-husband after he gets into an accident.
This book is filled with smokey sex scenes and my god; they are steamy between the two!
I loved the characters of Evan and Kelsey. They had amazing chemistry that none of them knew what to do until the trip where it all untangles between the sheets and the hot tub.
Although it’s a ‘sex’ book, there is so much more depth in the story. It about friendships and love, and waiting years to finally have the guy/girl you have loved for years.
It’s such a cute story that even if the sex scenes weren’t included, I would still want to read it because I love the whole friends-to-lovers stories. They always pull at my heartstrings.
