I really enjoyed this book, two men with one woman isn't usually my think as there isn't enough romance usually for me but I have to say Nicole Edwards has managed it. I was hooked. She managed to keep enough feeling in the book between the characters to keep the book interesting and not turn it into porn.

Will definitely be interested in reading about the other brothers and moving on to the next book :)

After reading Ethan, I decided I should read this series from the beginning. Curtis and Lorrie Walker are the kind of parents I wish I would have had. They love each other fiercely and they love their children unconditionally -- without being saccharine. It's a beautiful thing.

Kaleb is the third son (of seven!!!) of Curtis and Lorrie. And they sure knew how to breed them because all seven sons are tall, broad and mighty fine. They're protective of those they care about and look out for each other.

Kaleb and Zoey have been best friends for 20 years or so, always hanging out together, etc. Kaleb even took Zoey to the prom -- as friends. For years, they've each been hiding how they feel about the other. Silly people. All that time wasted. Anyhow, they finally come to their senses and start seeing one another.

When they finally come together, the sex is hawt. Oh my. And Kaleb expands Zoey's sexual horizons quite a bit, too, by inviting Gage to join them a time or five. I nearly needed a fire extinguisher.

Kaleb is a really good start to this series, I think. We get to know the Walker brothers as well as their parents a bit and also Zoey's BFF Vanessa, and the set up for the next book, Zane, is done as well. And I am glad I didn't have to wait for Zane to come out before finding out what happened there. Would have driven me a bit nuts, I think.

Kaleb has lusted over Zoey for over 15 years. Zoey lusted over Kaleb for same amount of time, but neither wanted to ruin the friendship.

Kaleb and his brothers need some or all of Zoey's father's land to build their resort. and Kaleb has been made the go between.

on their weekly dinner "date", something changed, but neither Zoey nor Kaleb can be sure exactly what, all they both know is....its gonna happen and its gonna happen soon! and BOY does it ever!!

this is the first in the Alluring Indulgence series, and the first I have read of Nicole Edwards and I really enjoyed it!! the book does come with an erotic romance tag, and it needs it! Lots of sex! M/F/M scenes are in this book, and they are well written. the general plot line is a little weak, but it leads nicely into the next book, and gives you an insight into the other 6 brothers, so I assume there will be 7 books in all. (only 4 full books and a novella out)

these have all been sitting on my wish list a while, but this one was dropped in price as Ethan was released. well worth it!

cant wait for the next book. *big smiles*

A lust-filled read with some menage scenes thrown in. It was an enjoyable read but I didn't love it.

The premise that drew me in was the friends to lovers theme. However, there wasn't much time spent on building the friends aspect and we are introduced straightaway to the lust. So, so, SO much lust. The book is practically dripping with it.

The menage scenes were hot. More interesting than the relationship between Kaleb and Zoey, honestly.

I rather liked this book. I just wish more time had been spent building the friendship aspect.

I've been in the mood for smut lately which is why I picked Kaleb. From the reviews I read before giving it a chance (good and bad), the sex was mighty hot. And boy, was it ever!

I remember reading descriptions such as sizzling hot, pussy-clenching, or to prepare a stack of dry panties nearby when reading. And yes, this book is exactly that.

I really enjoyed the smut but I also liked the characters. I always had a weakness for friends drifting to lovers, so I was happy with the book. I just thought that Kaleb and Zoey could've skipped the "friends-with-benefit" phase of the book that, to me didn't make that much sense, since they were basically already into a relationship (friendship), added to it some exclusive sex (they are both single and not involved with anyone), and obviously crazy about each other.

Concerning the plot, it's pretty much what you see is what you get. Two friends finally realizing that only friends doesn't cut it anymore but are still worried about screwing their long-timed friendship.
But don't expect much drama. There is almost none.

So I enjoyed this book. Very much so. But I think some readers might find it a little flat. But it is a relatively short book, the univers of it is really nice (small town, nice community, reliable people, the big Walker family with its seven, hotter than the last brothers ;) ), the characters are really likable and it's the kind of book that makes you smile sometimes at how sweet the characters are, laugh and squirm. Let's not forget that. ;)

Come check out the reviews on my blog Under The Cover

This was a good story overall except it was missing the friendship aspect of their relationship. The author kept saying how great friends they were but we never got to see that part because they jumped into the relationship very fast.

There was also A LOTTT of sex scenes. The great thing about it was that they were written very good and were very original and believable. There just was alot of them that I did skim through some.

Definitely a hot and juicy story. I am such a sucker for best friends that finally admit their love years later. Kaleb and Zoey did bit disappoint. It was nice story, nothing way too out of the ordinary.
This series does seem to be a lot like another series centered around hot cowboy brothers. The hotel....that is different. Not sure it would work, well it probably would but imagine the legal and security issues.
I can't say I will read the whole series, but I will read a few for certain. It was a bit too rapid fire they way they were all introduced though.
