My Best Friend's Brother
ASIN B07TH13DXL moved to this edition.
It's no secret I’ve always had a crush on Damon Strickland.
My best friend’s older brother and the center of every single one of my fantasies.
He’s a walking, talking temptation.
That cocky grin and those broad, athletic shoulders.
You know what they say about a man with big hands right?
Growing up, we always tormented one another.
I was the nagging, annoying little girl he hated.
And he was the man-whoring, douchebag I couldn’t seem to get over.
Now as adults he actually came through and helped me land a job at my dream company.
How the hell am I supposed to focus when all I can think about is tearing that tight suit from his tempting body!
What’s even worse?
He forgot to mention he’s my boss.

Not worth it.
I think this is the worst book I've read this year if not ever.
This book is 160-150 pages but it felt like I was reading a 2000 page book...

This was an okay book. It was simple and fast-paced. I got entertained, but it did not leave a lasting mark on me. The premise was interesting, and the main characters had sexual chemistry for sure, but I was hoping for a slow-burning kind of love story with more push-pull from both parties. Well, for a book this short this was actually not bad. I liked the flashbacks and seeing the situation from the POVs of both Damon and Jazmine. That somehow gave a deeper supporting backstory to their relationship. I was just hoping for an even deeper storyline-- but that was my fault for expecting too much.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Good enough to unwind at the end of the day.

I liked the story, i think the Author could have played a little more on the Dating App part.....
There was no big obstacle to overcome, a little drama but nothing noteworthy, a smooth sailing read.
The characters Jazz especially come across as really immature, especially the stapler scenario and coming into work hungover when shes trying to get her foot in the door with the company.... Also her actions and reactions to things....
Damon was ok not amazing but nothing to write home about.... Like i said a nice sweet easy read.

Jazmine has grown up with a crush on her best friend Maddie's older brother, Damon. He has always teased her along with his sister. However as Damon grew up he began to notice Jazmine as a hot young woman. He felt he had to look out for her as well as his sister. He also realised he had feelings for her too. He offers her a job in his company and finds it hard to control his feelings. Inevitably the chemistry between them wins out. This is a fun, hot and steamy read.

This is a really good book! I normally go for 400 PG plus because I feel like the characters have more time to build. However, Alexis Winter has turned me she makes every book seem so real! The sex is hot, the characters relatable! You cant go wrong withthos book or any of her books!

The characters were not consistent, there was too much of a gap between their characterizations at the beginning and their actions throughout. Their ages are not clearly given but the ending did not feel age appropriate to me.

When your hearts fall in love at five and eight what can you possibly do but fight against it especially when she’s your youngest sister’s best friend. That’s exactly what happened to Jazzy and Damon. Not only were they next door neighbors their commonality was Damon’s sister, Maddie. As the trio ages Demon becomes the two girl’s self proclaimed protector and defender. Jazzy had to watch him parade all kinds of girls that she felt she could never aspire to be in there realm of excellence in beauty.
However, looking back he had them to deflect from what he truly wanted which was her. Knowing the family and Maddie in particular made. Making it hard on the both of them. On the other had doing this to piss off Damon came easily especially when you have a free friend like, Maddie to lead you down the broken trail of independence.
When Damon lends a hand getting Jazzy a job within his company she join with great joy. Yet, when she arrives she’s annoyed, feeling like once again Damon is not taking her serious and pranking her. She finds out that Damon omitted the fact that she will not be coming up through the normal ranks stepping in as Damon’s P.A. Are things in the pass really the way they remember it? Or were they feeling overly sensitive not being seen and truly acknowledge by the other?
Those remain to be seen, but I can tell you this, the does the POV in the moment of what is happening around them. Not just thoughts but in conversation with one another. No light questioning here the ask the tough one to have the one that had hurt your heart back then and now it needs and wants answers. Not sure how I felt about Maddie. In comparison to rest of the feel of their the story she is negative. Sexual content.
I give this: 5 ++++ stars. Found free on Amazon.

Nothing wrong with this story and seems to end with a HFN ending that might possibly leads into Maddie’s story(next one). Told in both POVs. There is a lot of reminiscing of their pasts, their feelings and clearing the air of their pasts over the expand of 15 years.

I liked the book, but expected something else, cuz of the cover tbh.
It was easy reading. I loved the characters.
I had a problem whit the love part for some reason. Like, all the things he did for her and still, he fell in love after he saw that she was a woman now. But the story was lovely.
And I LOVED THE ENDING

I could not feel the chemistry between Jazz and Damon, for two reasons. One, their conversations (both in person and over text) were so boring and basic? I did not feel the huge connection that the book kept telling us there was. To be honest, the writing was very straight forward, and did not keep me enthralled. The dialogue was so uncomfortable... the second reason was because there was no consistency with the characters’ motivations. She wants him, but then when he’s interested she doesn’t want him because he’s a play boy, so then she’s just going to sleep with him and then that’s never brought up again, so instead she’s in love, but unsure, he’s surprised that she became hot because she just used to be his sister’s friend, then suddenly he’s in love with her and oh, now all their history proves that actually both of them were pretty aware that there was massive amounts of sexual tension between them the whole time. For some reason it’s totally okay that he is her direct boss and they’re dating. There was a thing of enemies to lovers, but they seemed to give up on that trope almost immediately. For a hot second it was used as one of the reasons why she couldn’t trust him.
But get this, the whole time he’s also cat fishing her? I feel like that storyline was originally meant to go somewhere else, but instead it doesn’t really do anything except become a creepy way for him to manipulate her, and she’s weirdly completely fine about it. That really bamboozled me. Mostly because... what did it add to the story?
All the ‘problems’ were not issues. Every single one of them. One of my biggest pet peeves.
On top of it, at the end they get a free house. Cool. At the start, Jazz gets a job, but even though she has no experience, gets annoyed at Damon because it’s not the exact job she wanted, then proceeds to be annoyed that she has to do work (photocopying). The next day Jazz gets most of the day off (for a reason that does not make sense to me), so she goes out and gets drunk, and starts the following morning off by saying this when Damon asks how her day off was:
“It was good. A little too good, actually. I’m a bit hungover, so if you could take it easy on me today, that’d be great.”
This was all in the name of their back and forth bantering, but... no one can relate to the entitlement here...
I feel like my above description of the inconsistency of character motivation sounds plausible, because in most romances you can read between the lines. You know when he is denying his attraction, or she’s trying to not fall for him, etc. But this book literally seemed to have different characters - like the author hadn’t properly figured out which tropes she wanted to cover.
For example, this is Damon’s thoughts when he first sees Jazz at work:
“Seeing her at that elevator makes me do a double take. This isn’t the little Jazmine I grew up with. She isn’t the knobby-kneed kid that always ate the last slice of pizza. She isn’t the pesky teenage girl that spied on me with my dates. Hell, this isn’t even the girl I saw just two weeks ago that was lounging on my sister’s couch in cat-print pajamas and eating ice cream straight out of the carton while mocking me. This is a whole new Jazmine—a grown woman with breasts I want to see, curves I want to memorize, and mile-long legs that I want to run my hand up... What the fuck am I doing? This isn’t just some random woman that walked into the elevator. This is Jazzy.”
And this is after he has already decided he wants to pursue Jazz, and so he is cat-fishing her:
“That is pretty amazing. Who knew we’d be so perfect for each other? I know that she was an annoying kid that grew into a beautiful, sexy woman, but I didn’t realize we were into the same things.”
Then a chapter or so later this is in his chapter:
“Something overcomes me. Love. These feelings aren’t new. I’ve always had them. I’ve been in love with her from the moment my seven-year-old eyes met hers. I’ve just been too blind to see it.”
Along with this:
“You’re the only one I ever wanted and the only one I couldn’t have. I’m tired of not getting what I want, Jazmine.”
If you’re going to have that epic love story type of vibe where they have always had a connection, then you cannot have him being surprised that they have a connection. It was also annoying reading that he always wanted her, when we’re getting his perspective that he’s surprised by being sexually attracted to her at the start of the book. That is just one example of how the flow of their development didn’t work for me.
Or even just parts like this, from Jazz’s perspective:
“Maybe it’s because he’s been my protector my whole life. I know he would never do anything to hurt me. He’s fought too long and too hard to see me broken now.”
When an earlier conflict had been about if she could trust him or not because he bullied her all the time as a kid, hence their constant bickering while growing up. It just... ergh!

This is so far my favourite Alexis Winter book. She nailed it! Short and sweet no cliffhangers and the chemistry and I also like smooth sailing romances like this one. Brava!

No cheating or separation or ow/om drama. At first I though they both were behaving a bit immature but it was (She had some silly moments and he wasn't an alpha) sweet and I liked the characters. I thought there might be some big misunderstanding but I was pleasantly surprised with how they handled the small bit of conflict.
Good read about a girl who crushed her whole life on her best friends brother and then winds up working for him right out of college. Flashbacks helped a lot to flesh out the characters.

I finished reading this book last week and already I'd forgotten half of what happened throughout it until I re-read the synopsis and skimmed the opening paragraphs. Thankfully it was free.
ONE. I hate first-person present-tense writing so much.
TWO. I hate superficial characters without personalities, motives for their actions, or the ability to carry on an engaging, meaningful conversation.
THREE. I hate being 'told' instead of 'shown' when reading a book and I really hate when what I'm being told is in direct conflict to what I'm being shown.
These two had ZERO chemistry. None. Jazz had more chemistry with the guy she happened to cross paths with in the photocopy room for all of 37 seconds than she did with Damon for the rest of the book. They were bland and dull (so I guess perfect for each other?).
Jazz has been in love with Damon since they were children (5 and 7 I believe). His sister, Maddie, is her best friend so they grew up together and depending on the page of the book, he was either completely oblivious, or conflicted because he reciprocated her feelings but couldn't act on them (or maybe he didn't even realize the depth of his feelings himself or some sort of hogwash *sigh*).
Jazz has just graduated from college so Damon helps her by getting her a job as his assistant so she can work her way up though the company. Doing what? Who knows! These two are so superficial that they don't even actually have a profession. Maddie may or may not work there too in some capacity. Within minutes of being in the same building together Damon can't stop oogling his sister's hot best friend (she's like Schrodinger's cat, both hot all along, yet hot all of a sudden now that she's a woman, ugh) and when he sees she has created a dating profile, he creates one to essentially cat-fish her (if you think this will create problems down the road you would be incorrect, it's a thing for about 8 seconds and then she lets it blow over).
Through a series of flashbacks the author attempts to show the reader that Jazz and Damon belong together and have destined all along, but it just serves to complicate the narrative since they are not acting that way, in fact, Damon waxes poetically at several points at how hot Jazz turned out to be now that she is all grown and how he never thought of her as anything other than a sister.
The revelation that Jazz had her first O to Damon getting lucky with a girl in his bedroom while she was sleeping over (best friend's with his sister, remember?) was weird. Really, really weird.
I made a New Year's resolution to review more of the books I read but I really don't want to spend much more time on this one.
This is the second Alexis Winter book that has grabbed me with a great book blurb that catches my attention but fails to delight me. I sworn after the first one that I was done, and while I didn't dislike this book nearly as much as the second in the series (which I read first), this author's writing style is just not for me.

My Rating: 4/5 stars!
This was unexpectedly such an enjoyable, funny read that I couldn't put down. I took a chance after seeing it as a freebie on Amazon and wanted to read something quick and light in between reads and it did not disappoint whatsoever! If anything, it exceeded expectations. It's a relatively shorter story than what I consider a full length one but it packed a punch full of world-building and history between the two protagonists that sets the backdrop for the present story.
It had a great developing story that was consistent and engaging. A lot of surprisingly LOL moments that had me giggling like a school girl and grinning like a loon!
There was one main secondary character (Maddie - who is Damon's sister, and Jazmine's best friend) is just as likable and added depth to Damon and Jazmine's lives as it goes back and forth from past to present. I look forward to reading about her story in this series and any others following.
This is a hate to love, second chance romance between two childhood neighbors/ friends. It's about missed chances, secret crushes, and good-natured fun. A highlight in my opinion is whenever they re-countered a moment in their past because it shows both their perspectives on it.
A nice, lighthearted read that would for sure take your mind off day to day stresses and adulting for at least a few hours. Alex Winter is also a new-to-me author, but after having read this, I'll be sure to look into her other work.

I was pulled into this book right from the beginning and that is where I stayed until I had read the last word written. All the time I had my little mini movie playing along in my head.
The emotions that the characters go through can be felt, some of them actually pulled on my heart strings. I did find myself getting frustrated a time or two and I really wanted to smack a few of the characters, but they redeemed themselves by the end of the book. I went through most of the emotions along with the characters, I might of cried a little bit more than the characters. It doesn't matter how many times I read this book I cried at the same places each and every time.
There are surprises throughout the book, some are large, while others are small. Some you may see coming while others you won't, but each and every single one of them is equally as important with in the story as the next. They all play there own part in making the story the fantastic read that it is.
There isn't a single part of this book that I didn't enjoy, I wish I could give it more than five stars as I think it s worth so many more stars.
I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book!
It was kind of short and i wish it was a little long to build alittle more on things.
However, i loved the overall story and plot. Damon and Jazz are family friends and damon has always looked after jazz like she was his little sister, he has come to realize that this is becuase he loves her though. I love the cute memories they share throughout the story about the past. My favorite was the garage scene. Oooff could you just imagine at that age in that situation, hot and steamy at the time. Another favorite i had is the end when the family is all together and they let them in on the secret of them two dating, the whole family knew since they were kids and damons dad kept the garage footage for them to have in a box with a bunch of other things for them if they ever got together. I thought that was sweet.

I love the cute memories they share throughout the story about the past. My favorite was the garage scene. Oooff could you just imagine at that age in that situation, hot and steamy at the time. Another favorite i had is the end when the family is all together and they let them in on the secret of them two dating, the whole family knew since they were kids and damons dad kept the garage footage for them to have in a box with a bunch of other things for them if they ever got together. I thought that was sweet.

July 22, 2021DNF at 22%. I got really bored. I couldn't find the motivation to continue, and life is short, might as well go onto another book.
From the get-go, I didn't like the characters. I think that Jazz is immature and for the little that I read, she annoyed me. She has loved him all her life, but will purposely annoy him. What's the point? Sis, like why? As for Damon, he, too, annoyed me. He was oblivious af and his character just didn't sit well with me. I couldn't connect with Jazz and Damon, and the plot bore me.
Overall, didn't have a great time. I lost interest very quickly and had no patience for these two. This is my second book from this author, and so far, my experience hasn't been the best. I previously read Naughty or Nice from her and I believe I gave it one or two stars. Maybe her writing style just isn't for me.

Okay this book was enjoyable but after reading it, I had no strong opinions and no idea how to rate it. It wasn't a three star book but also not a four star. I guess 3.75 works.
The pacing was a little bit off which is kind of justified since it's so short book. I liked that the adult content sprinkled in here didn't overtake the story and that it wasn't just about sex. I liked the memories and getting to know our characters. But I still think that the only thing to be improved is the pacing. Still, a cute afternoon read

I hate leaving books unfinished, but I just couldn’t force myself to keep reading a book where almost every single sentence starts with “I” or “I’m” and feels like a grocery list of sentences put together. I’m not usually picky with plots and how they pan out, but when one character realizes 10% into the book that they have been in love with the other their whole life and never had any clue, but the catalyst is simply seeing them in work clothes? It just wasn’t the book for me. A few spelling errors as well, but that was pretty minor for a kindle book.

Cute, but not really believable
This is a cute, feel-good read. The initial struggle with the guy coming to grips with liking sister's best friend isn't believable. It had the predictable, "When did my sister's friend grow up and become this hot woman" vibe at the beginning, but then quickly transitioned to the guy revealing a lifelong struggle with his attraction to her. Then to find out that they had made out as teenagers, flirted over the years, and he was her first kiss? He didn't suddenly notice her as a woman with that history.

Jazz and Damon are interesting characters. They both like each other but refused to tell each other. Then when Damon tells Jazz, they instantly stay to make out. There wasn't a lot of build up between the two of them and then it just suddenly happens out of nowhere. But then they almost play games with their feelings and I just felt a bit disconnected from both of them.
This was an alright novel overall.

4 stars for My Best Friends Brother by Alexis Winter. This is book 1 in the Make Her Mine Series. Jazz has always had a crush on Damon. Now Jazz is working for Damon, and Damon is finally ready to admit his feeling for Jazz. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. The two of them together is sweet and adorable. I loved them and their family’s reaction. This is a short and cute read. Great work from Alexis Winter.

My Best Friends Brother is my first read from Alexis Winter and the first book in the Make Her Mine series.
It was the book cover and blurb that got my attention and when I saw it advertised on Amazon I picked up a copy. I really did enjoy this book, the characters were really great and I really enjoyed the story to this. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick I finished this book. I will be reading more from this author in the future.
