Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM
Description:
Cassie Cooper has never been the kind of girl noticed for her looks. But around billionaire Kirk Rochester, her best friend from college, Cassie wishes she could turn just one head—his. So when Kirk asks her to be his pretend girlfriend to thwart another woman’s unwanted advances, Cassie embraces the opportunity to prove to him that she does have a feminine side.
Disillusioned by a rough marriage that had an even rougher end, Kirk values friendship more than romance. He’s always had a good thing going with Cassie. But he can’t ignore how sexy she is now playing the role of his girlfriend, and soon he’s fighting a dangerous attraction to her. Even though their time between the sheets is scorching hot, he refuses to take it beyond “friends with benefits.” He’s learned the hard way that loving someone is the first step to destroying his heart, and he won’t risk losing the best person in his life by falling in love with her.
Review:
If your looking for a fun read, then Best Friends With the Billionaire by Coleen Kwan is the book to download ?
Friends with benefits ….. Not really a phrase I like, but it’s better than the other phrase ?
Kirk has a love them and leave attitude, it’s suited him after a bitter ending marriage. He has known Cassie a long time, as they use to be best friends, at college. But their lives took them in different directions.
Cassie has always loved Kirk, and now the geeky college kid has filled out rather nicely, Cassie can’t stop his face from starring in all her dreams. But she knows he will never see her as more than an old college friend. She is a comfortable friend, where as Cassie would like Kirk to see her as a sexy girlfriend.
After saving him from an sticky situation with a persistent old flame, (she pretends to be his new girlfriend), Kirk hits on a plan to ask Cassie to be his pretend girlfriend, which would be great for functions and parties, and in the evening they can chill out and watch movies. Kirk thinks this is a win/win situation.
Kirk’s life is thrown in chaos when Cassie moves in, yes it’s fun to have his best friend back, sharing movies, thoughts and dinner, but there is more. Kirk is aware of her as a woman and not just a friend, and he’s not sure how to process that. He doesn’t want to lose his best friend, but when they get between the sheets, Kirk will have to choose, friend, or potentially the love of his life.
Their friendship grows into a friends with benefits, but both are hiding what they truly feel about each other. So who will take the plunge first and admit their feelings for one another, and if they do, will it be as friends or lovers ?
Cassie’s family are a pain! They are all about the status, and poor Cassie doesn’t fit! You have to feel sorry for her, she is definitely the under dog in this story. Will Kirk be able to help Cassie and her confidence ? Will he make her family are Cassie as an asset and not a liability? I suggest you read this book to find out.
