Because You're Mine by Layla Hagen
5.0

I have yet to read a mediocre Layla Hagen book. Her books have so much emotion and are genuinely a sweet love story. A brother’s best friend romance between Ian and Ellie. Ian and Henry became friends in college when Ellie was just a kid but Ellie is all grown up now and Ian has been trying his best not to notice.

When Ellie moves to New York for a culinary program Ian is there to help her get settled into the new city. Of course Henry left him with one rule, not to touch his sister. Can Ian control himself and listen to his best friend even though all he wants to do is touch her? They eventually give in to their attraction and intense chemistry and decide to enjoy each other for their rest of Ellie’s time in NY. Together they were a perfect fit for each other and their chemistry was on fire.

Ellie seemed to fit into Ian’s world and with his family and they both truly wanted the best for each other and pushed each other to be their best self. I loved how possessive and worried Ian was over Ellie, it was enough to be sexy but not too much to be annoying. Ian was also the only person to really see the real Ellie and what she really went through in her childhood and how her parents divorce affected her.

“I was happy, the way you took care of me, I’m not used to it.”

If you are looking for a sweet but steamy brother’s best friend this is the perfect book for you!
