I won this book in a Facebook giveaway.
Although it is the ‘sequel’, it runs concurrently in the timeline of Dirty Little Heart. I love this forbidden romance trope so I had high hopes of this book. Thankfully Vivian Wood met them all.
This book is adorable. There’s just enough angst to keep you going. Aiden and Olivia do everything right for the forbidden best friend-little sister trope. Aiden watches from afar until he breaks his own promise and sleeps with her. He’s loyal to Grayson to the end though (kinda), since as he’s breaking his promise, he’s also telling her it’s a summer fling and nothing more. Olivia has had a crush on him forever and being with him is a dream come true for her.
In the background of this book, Aiden is in location for his own personal reasons. There’s a bit of a family drama story happening in the background. Although interesting, I think there wasn’t enough weight put to it as I was not at all curious as to what was occurring with it. When those scenes came up, they annoyed me for dragging the book on longer.
Aiden is claimed to be a playboy but we don’t really see it; just hear about it. I found this incredibly annoying. The author called him one simply for drama when in reality it played no part to the story or the depth of the character. It was something that was just there.
I feel for Olivia. Everytime she got one step further with him, he pushed them back two. When he claimed to tell Grayson, he would back down last moment. For a woman wanting a commitment, and one being just a grip away, she’s frustrated. I was frustrated for her!
Good book. Enjoyed much more than Dirty Little Heart. I am interested in the teacher-student romance coming up in Dirty Little Thing with Carter. A different side of that character will be great.

Have you ever had a crush on one of your brothers friend's? I'm an only child, so I was spared that, but I did have cousin's and their friend's yeh been there done that. This is a slow burn story that led to some of the hottest sex scenes I'd read in awhile

Really enjoyed this one from one of my most reliable one click authors! Aiden is an unapologetic playboy who has been dealt a rough hand as of late. Olivia is the shy sister of his best friend who has always had a not so secret crush on him. It was so sweet watching them dig into new territory with each other and learn things about themselves in the process. And their chemistry was very hot! All around good story and can't wait for Eve and Carter!
