Fall in love with this hilarious and heartwarming USA Today bestselling romantic comedy that LJ Shen calls "an absolute treat." Kristen Peterson doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen -- especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. Kristen knows he'd be better off with someone else, but as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to keep him at arm's length. The Friend Zone will have you laughing one moment and grabbing for tissues the next as it tackles the realities of infertility and loss with wit, heart, and a lot of sass.

Best friends + close quarters = huge trouble Charlie It started with a kiss. One that never should have happened. Liam was only doing what best friends do-standing up for me. It didn't mean anything. Right? Sure, it made the fact I had to move in with him for a few months a bit complicated, but we've been firmly in the mutual friend zone for years. He's the one who christened me 'Charlie' after all. He only saw me as one of the guys. Crossing the line is off limits. Liam We're just friends. Maybe if I said it enough, I'd stop picturing her naked. Who was I kidding? With her living at my place, I couldn't seem to stop picturing her naked. All I had to do was keep my hands to myself for a few months. No fantasizing about her. No touching her. And no more kissing her. I was f***king screwed.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, new adult sports romance that is laugh out loud funny featuring a strong heroine and the cocky football player who falls first and hard for her. Sam Harper and I have been best friends since we were fourteen years old. Unfortunately, he sees himself as my unofficial big brother. Which really means that the guy is a major cock block. I swear he has a sixth sense when it comes to me getting laid. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to be on the verge of sealing the deal only for your bestie to appear out of nowhere and ruin everything? I have the sneaking suspicion that the guy enjoys messing with me. Why else would he take such perverse pleasure in doing it? Exactly. What Sam needs is a girlfriend. Someone to preoccupy him. Maybe then he'd stop trying to ruin all my fun. Except...I'm starting to notice things about Sam that I definitely shouldn’t be noticing. Like those piercing blue eyes that pin me in place. Or his short blond hair that I want to drag my fingers through. Not to mention those killer abs that I catch fleeting glimpses of when he stretches in class. These strange feelings are definitely starting to freak me out. I mean, we’re friends. We’ve always been just friends. And I don’t want that to change. I don’t want to take a chance and lose Sam. Next to my grandparents, he’s all I have. What I need is for our relationship to slide back to the way it's always been. We have eight solid years of friendship behind us. That's not something you throw away on a bit of sexual attraction that’ll eventually fizzle out. No matter how tempting it is. --- “I absolutely loved this book!
