She’s his best friend’s little sister, and her dad’s his boss. Basically, she’s so off-limits, he might as well run in the other direction. Good luck with that…
Sometimes love is war.
Clay… My best friend has held a grudge against his half-sister, Lauren, forever. It’s unjustified and ridiculous, but I have to take his side. Also ridiculous? How bad I have it for her.
My Lauren radar goes off the second she steps in the building. Did I mention we work together and her dad’s the boss? Yeah, she’s so off-limits I might as well start running now and never come back.
Except, her family is like family to me. So, I’ll do whatever it takes to stick around, even if she hates my guts.
Lauren… I date guys nothing like Clay on purpose. I will not let my old crush on him get the best of me. It’s going on the list of things I’ve outgrown and will deny ever having, like the Justin Bieber poster I used to keep on the back of my door.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve caught Clay looking at me like he’s a jewel thief and I’m a precious gem encased in glass. He’d never choose me over my brother, or his job, or his enjoyment in teasing me.
Avoiding Clay is easy, until the day I realize my dad’s asked for Clay’s help in checking up on my dates.
No stinking way.
Rating: Mild+. Mild crude humor; mild kissing; mild sensuality.

About Rachel John
Rachel John loves to read anything with romance or humor, and thinks the best books should combine the two. She’s found that writing is the best outlet for her wild imagination. She’s a terrible cook, but unfortunately for her family, she keeps trying. Rachel lives in Arizona with her husband, four crazy kids, and her desert tortoise.
This is a cute enemies to love romance except that they really only pretend to be enemies and hide their long time infatuation from each other and everyone else. I liked both Clay and Lauren but really didn’t enjoy Parker all that much. Really those two siblings should not be working together. They are awful as coworkers. The story is clean, has some cute banter and is just a fun read. I think it is a promising start for a fun series.
