Perfect for you if...

You love brother's best friend dynamics with actual chemistry and banter, not just proximity.
You enjoy sports romance where the athlete is charming rather than arrogant or controlling.
You appreciate romance that builds from genuine friendship and takes time to develop real stakes.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer darker or morally complex characters; Crosby is straightforwardly likeable and fun.
You want slow-burn tension that simmers for 400+ pages; this moves into physical intimacy fairly quickly.
You're looking for high-stakes plot beyond the romance itself; this is character-driven rather than plot-driven.

About this book

A brother's best friend sports romance from Lauren Blakely. At a wedding, Nadia and Crosby—a fun-loving, all-star baseball player and her brother's best friend—share several moments together: dancing, a dare involving a photo on his phone, and an accidental kiss in the hotel elevator. The next day, they agree to move past these incidents. Crosby and Nadia have been friends for years, and Nadia values that friendship too much to risk it, despite her growing attraction to him. After he takes her to a gala, she proposes an arrangement: a few nights of friends with benefits, with the primary rule being that they walk away as friends. As they spend more time together, Nadia's feelings deepen. The question becomes whether their friendship can survive if they abandon the rules they've set.
