Kay's Review
Oh my! This is one fabulously hot story. Annabel has just moved into a new neighbourhood next door to two hot men, Nate and Evan. She is attracted to both of them but is worried she is going to end up losing both of them.
Nate and Evan have been best of friends forever. They share a house and life although not in a sexual way. When Annabel moves in, Nate is the first to ask her out. But this causes a rift between his friendship with Evan. Evan wants Annabel too but knows he can't tread on his friend's toes.
How are they going to work this out?
I thoroughly enjoyed this novella. I loved all three characters and it has one of the most erotic love scenes I've ever read. I give this book full marks for that scene alone. I'm not going to give you spoilers. You seriously have to read it for yourself.

Blurb
When lifelong friends Nate and Evan watch
the arrival of a new neighbor, they never expect to find their friendship
rocked by the lovely Annabel
As they all grow close, will she be
forced to choose between these gorgeous men?
An
hour later, when only the big carton in her study remained to unpack, the
doorbell rang. A lurch of anticipation tightened her stomach. She took a deep
breath and went to open the door on shaky legs. Calm down, she told herself.
Nate
and Evan stood side by side on the doorstep. They’d obviously showered. Their
hair still wet, Evan’s curled enticingly at the ends around his ears. They wore
fresh T-shirts and board shorts, showing off muscular chests, arms, and legs.
A
wave of complete desire left Annabel weak as she looked from one to the other.
“Come
in.” Her voice wavered as nerves took over. She opened the door wide.
They
walked in smiling.
Nate
turned to close the door for her. His hand brushed hers.
A
sexual charge from the connection forced her eyes closed for a second. She
pulled herself together. “Do you want to go down to the kitchen? I’ve got cold
beer and some juice. How did the tree stump digging go? Did you get it out?”
She knew she gabbled, but couldn’t help it. Their nearness set her heart
beating fast again. Her initial confidence when she’d met them was gone in the
face of just how hot they were. Suppose
they have girlfriends already and are just being neighborly? Suppose they don’t
find me attractive in that way? Then she read the expression in his eyes
when she offered Evan a bottle of beer. He
likes me just fine. She touched her fingertips to his as she gave him the
cold bottle. Rivers of sensation ran up to her elbow, and her thighs clenched
involuntarily but deliciously.
Annabel
turned her attention to Nate. “Beer, Nate?”
He
nodded, and his eyes darkened at her as he came forward to take the drink.
Wow, he likes me. The
thought brought a smile, and she sparkled at them both. “I’ll just get a glass
of juice, and then we can go to the back room. It’s more comfortable there. We
can sit and you can tell me all about the town. Have you lived here long?”
