Just One Night by Lauren Layne

3.0

---

Riley is the sex writer of our trio - which became a quartet in the last book when Emma, Grace's temporary replacement, joined the team. The small problem is that Riley hasn't had sex in eight years. In fact, she's only had sex once! But she's a great researcher.

For the fiftieth anniversary edition of the magazine the writers have been asked to write something personal and Riley has decided that she needs to practice what she preaches. Only trouble is, she's been in love with her older brother Liam's best friend since she first met him. She decides to put on her big girl panties and ask him to sleep with her - she tells him its for a friends to lover piece she wants to do.

Sam's the sad kid who was half-adopted by Riley's family. Son of an alcoholic mother who has a string of broken marriages and lives in a run down filthy house, he never felt good enough for Liam's family. Sam's mother has told him he was useless for so long that deep down he believes her. He's been in love with his best friend's little sister since he first saw her. But he made a promise to Liam not to touch her, and who'd want a loser like him anyway?

Nuff said. Does what it says on the tin.
