GRR Reviews Falling for her Brother's Best Friend by Noelle Adams

Falling for Her Brother's Best Friend is exactly as its name says: brother's best friend crush leading to fling to a thing. The additional twists are nothing special either.

Emma had enough bad romances and is going on a "man-fast" for six months. No dating, no sex, no opposite sex. She needed to concentrate on her new business, a tea room with two of her best friends. Not even Noah, her first crush, and her brother's bestie. Noah is a business shark, and definitely not nice, and domestic. In fact, Noah had not even recognized Emma when he first saw her and tried to seduce her... UNTIL she realized it's him... and he didn't recognize her... i.e. just as a floozie he can pick up at a bar. Sure, it's been seven years, but really? Now Noah feels like an ass and wanted to apologize, but Emma 's on a man-fast... or will she make an exception?

At two hundred pages, the story is short. Both Emma and Noah are damaged enough to NOT act on instant attraction, and their history was a bit of meh. She expects him to recognize her even though he hadn't seen her in 7 years... and is a little buzzed, and she's bitter about that, because she had a crush on him? That seems like a really... childish grudge and excuse not to engage.
