MY BROTHER'S BILLIONAIRE BEST FRIEND BY MAX MONROE

Max Monroe has churned out some amazing romcoms in the past few years and this one falls into the same category! My Billionaire Brother's Best Friend is a standalone in the Billionaire Boss Next Door series! I definitely recommend it.

Mabel "Maybe" Willis died a virgin at the very young age of twenty-four.

She leaves behind her parents, Betty and Bruce, her brother, Evan, a laptop filled with one too many Jason Momoa memes, and a Kindle library with more books than one human being could ever finish in a lifetime.
​
Cause of death: a text message.

Okay. So, I didn't die.
But I may as well have.

One minute, I'm a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I'm the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time--or the cell phone. Whatever.

We're talking code red, send a flipping mayday, the apocalypse is coming kind of texts. And I didn't just send them to some random person I'll never see again. No. That would be too easy.

I sent them to Milo Ives.

The man who played a starring role in all of my teenage fantasies--and my brother's lifelong best friend.
And, boy oh boy, has he grown up. He's hard-bodied, blue-eyed, jawline-of-stone handsome, crazy successful, and has more money in his bank account than my brain can fathom.

Deflower me, please? I said. Yeah. Send help.

BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND ROMANCE

Max Monroe has written numerous romantic comedies that have been top favorites of mine so whenever I see they have a new book coming out I always purchase it. Now, while I don't tend to read them right away (I have to wait for the perfect mood- a mood that dictates HUMOR is a must at the time) I do have a special folder for their novels so when I feel like reading it I can. I do so by finding out which trope will be best for me at the moment (i.e. I was in the mood for a brothers best friend romance so I started this one). That being said, Milo and Maybe's book is a fun, sassy, and hilarious read! This is exactly what I was expecting and the duo satiated my need in spades. Maybe (that's the name of our HEROINE) is definitely a character one could consider a potential BFF and I connected with her from the start. I mean those text messages and her inexperience in all things sex and dating had me in stitches! Milo- what a guy! Being a billionaire hasn't gone to his head in the least. He's charming, level headed, and a total sweetheart! When you put them both together you can only imagine the sparks that fly! It's beautiful- especially the end!

Now, while it's clear I really loved the characters and enjoyed the book (4 stars is good) there were a few things that didn't jive with me. First and foremast, the relationship aspect was slow. The two didn't really come together as a couple until about 80% so watching and waiting for it to happen was a little tiresome. I mean, I knew they would end up together (hello, this is a romance!) but the pace of it happening was really drawn out. This would have worked if there was angst within their story but there wasn't.

Another thing that I didn't quite care for was how EASY it was for Maybe to get a job at one of the biggest publishing houses in the world. The authors stressed how she sent out hundreds of resumes with no response but when Milo the billionaire swooped in she had it in her hands. Ladies and gents, real life isn't like this. Had she done it all on her own and faced a few hurdles along the way it would have been much more believable (and respectable). I like my books to feel somewhat realistic and I have to say, this aspect wasn't. Even more, it sort of grinds my gears because "prince charming" once again steps in and wipes away all problems for the damsel in distress... As per usual in romances. For me, it just gets old after a while.

Other than these two minor things (and I truly mean MINOR as they didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the story) I did really love their story. I loved the belly laughs it gave me, the butterflies that swirled around in my stomach when Maybe FINALLY got her wish, and the way the book made me feel all warm and gooey inside. Once again, Max Monroe has written a winner and I couldn't recommend it more to those who love romcoms.

★★★★

ALSO STANDING ALONE IN THE SERIES...

My new boss has it all. In spades.
Gorgeous green eyes? Check.
Hard-and-sexy body? Check.
Intelligence? Check.
Success? A big fat billionaire... Check.

Too bad I haven't started out on the best foot. My big mouth has already turned him against me, and tempting good looks and success aside, Trent Turner is no peach either. He's stubborn and thick-headed, and son of a fruitcake, he thinks he knows everything there is to know about the hotel business.

With him running the development of the new Vanderturn New Orleans Hotel and me doing the design, our work relationship is far too intimate for two people who absolutely despise one another.

But that's not all. See, he isn't just my billionaire boss from hell. He's my new neighbor, too.

Same city.
Same building.
Same floor.

Trent Turner is my billionaire boss next door. Holy moly, let's hope my career--and hormones--can survive.

The Billionaire Book Club Questionnaire
#1: Who is your least favorite character in the book?
Me--Caplin Hawkins. I am an absolute idiot.

#2: Who is your favorite character?
Gorgeous, addictive, insanely challenging Ruby.
She's smart, driven, self-confident, and so beautiful, she makes my chest ache.

#3 What is your biggest takeaway from the story?
Ruby Rockford and I are meant to be.
I just have to prove it to her.

For the entirety of my adult life, I've been content.
Content in my single lifestyle, content in my stressful-but-extremely-successful job as the main corporate counsel for almost every Fortune 500 company in North America, and content in my playful, spontaneous ways.

I had no idea it was possible for someone to change my mind.

The endless women and work are no longer enough, and just as Ruby Rockford told me--it's about time I grow up.

It's going to take a strategic attack from more than a couple brilliant minds to win her affection, but luckily, I know exactly where to find the right guys for the job... The Billionaire Book Club.

It's safe to say that I, Caplin Hawkins, the man most women would call The Ultimate Player, have finally met my match, and man oh man, has my end game changed. I'm coming for you, Ruby. And soon, you'll be coming for me, too.
