Flirting with Forever

***4 Stars*** This was a fun, quick best friends to lovers read that I pretty much devoured in no time. It was sweet, smexy and though it was low on angst it had a good dose of the characters battling themselves to keep things interesting from the first page til the very end. I loved Camden and Natalie. Both are good people with good hearts who are both doing what they love and living their best lives. Their friendship is rock solid. It’s the kind where they pretty much know each other inside and out...at least when it comes to being friends. Watching as they both struggle with their changing feelings towards each other was a combination of fun and frustrating, though things did fall more on the fun side of the coin (which was very nice) and with the added issue of the “oath” thrown into the mix, things took a little longer to get going, but once they did, it was all kinds of smexy, sweet and swoon worthy and I loved where they were at in the end. I must say that I love that Ms. Ryan kept things simple with this friends to lovers romance. Yes, there is a lot of hemming and hawing, but it was done well and it kept me turning to pages in anticipation of when one of them would cave. The little twist thrown in was a fun one that I didn’t expect, but worked very well in the context of the story. But, with Cam and Natalie paired up, I am crossing my toes that Jack gets his own HEA at some point in the future! ~ Copy provided by the author via InkSlinger PR & voluntarily reviewed ~

Flirting with Forever is one of those delicious romances that give you the feel-good vibes along with the story. The perfect antidote to the everyday doldrums. Cam and Natalie have been friends for a long time, making up 2 thirds of their BFF triangle along with Jack; their close friendship required the firm rule between the guys as to view Natalie as nothing beyond a friend. Although, there has always been a different kind of awareness between cam and Natalie, although they both buried it early on for the sake of their friendship. However, as time progressed the feelings and attraction only deepened creating a lot of internal turmoil especially for Cam. It is quickly apparent Cam’s feelings for Natalie are of the forever kind and when the opportunity presents itself to take their relationship to the next level, neither Cam or Natalie hesitate, despite their fear of affecting their friendship and hurting Jack. The relationship between Cam and Natalie is adorable, a slow burn transition from friends to more. Their feelings for each other blatantly obvious to everyone even if they, themselves were oblivious. Flirting with Forever is angst-free, heart-warming and fun. I would love to see Jack get his own story 😍

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review** Kendall Ryan is a one-click author for me and she has definitely just reinforced that with Flirting with Forever. I love stories where there is already a connection or relationship between the two characters. You already have something to build from and how they end up where they are going is always the fun part. Natalie and Cam have been friends for years. The two of them, along with their friend, Jack, have been like the three amigos since they were teenagers. They rely on one another, they support one another and they are one another's chosen family. The one thing the two guys always agreed upon was the fact that they would never go after Natalie. That sounds good in theory, but when Cam's feelings start to grow, he's terrified that he might not only lose the woman he's beginning to fall for, but also his other best friend too. Will Cam be the only one feeling the way he is and will he be able to navigate the unknown waters of a potential relationship with Natalie? The chemistry between Natalie and Cam is explosive. There is no other way to put it. You can feel it jumping off the page at you. I also loved how sweet and considerate Cam was. He was always thinking about Natalie and what was best for her. He was clearly a genuine guy and who wouldn't love that?! I also loved that Natalie was her own woman. She had a childhood that could have molded her very differently, but she wanted to make something of herself on her own and I really admired that. This was one of those books that captivated me from the first page and I read it in a matter of hours. This is a complete standalone and I highly recommend picking up this best friends romance. You won't be sorry!
