I enjoyed this a lot. Dean was a troubled character and Holly was a breath of fresh air, exactly what he needed. Someone to not let him go, to believe in him, to accept him, and help push him to be who he wants to be instead of what everyone thinks he should be. I was impressed with the great combo of sexy and sweet.

I really enjoyed this. So many tropes twisted together to create a great good girl/bad boy romance. I loved how much the author dug into each character's issues, and not just the primary couple, either. Her brother and his life seemed perfect to begin with and slowly changed to something more complex and harder, and that crossed with the relationship between his sister and his best friend made for an explosive reveal scene. This was awesome, I highly recommend it to everyone!

Hello handsome...

Big brother's best friend...
Town bad boy...
Gives zero facks and does his thing...
Ridiculously handsome...
Former Marine...

Yeah it paints a picture and Julie Kriss is the artist. One gorgeous and loving bad boyfriend for the win...or did he!?!

A bet neither wants to go wrong and emotions neither wants to spill makes How to Date Your Brother's Best Friend (formerly Bad Boyfriend) a little tense, a lot hot, and just the thing you need to read.

Good girl / bad boy pairing + brother’s best friend trope + he thinks he’s only good for one night stands, she’s always had a crush and bets that she can date him for 4 weeks. 

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. The connection felt mostly physical to start off with, but their relationship ended up being really sweet and supportive. I also enjoyed the “I’m gonna date the hell out of you” energy that Holly and Dean both gave off (in slightly different ways).

 How to Date Your Brother's Best Friend is not exactly what I expected. It was immature and very NA romance type of story. 

There is no real drama/ plot on the story. Although the beginning of the book is very promising. I want more drama. More plot. More twist. More chemistry. 

Overall, the beginning is a very promising. The rest is just so so.

Fast read.

I read this is two days. The chemistry between Holly and Dean was fantastic. The beginning was a bit info dumpy, and few places were repetitive, but the story was worth it.

It was okay. No actual plot, imo. Not a whole lot of things going on.

I liked the characters but I didn't find enough depth in them. This is an NA book bordering on Adult.

I skipped some pages because they go from talking about their feeling to imagining sexual acts they'll do to one another.
