Falling For His Best Friend

Out of Uniform Series, Book 3

By: Katee Robert

Narrated by: Natalie Eaton

Avery Yeung's biological clock just went off early. Thanks to her family's medical history, she's running out of time to get knocked up. And the only guy within donating distance? Her overprotective and irritatingly hot best friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor....

Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew Flannery's dead body. While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with his past, Drew won't let Avery shop for a "popsicle pop." He'll do what's right for his best friend by doing his best friend. But only if they do it properly.

But there's nothing "proper" about it. Between the bed, the kitchen counter, and against his squad car, Avery and Drew are having the hottest sex ever. They can't get enough of it - or each other. And without knowing it, they've crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship forever....

Contains mature themes.

Story great! Narrator terrible!

The narrator sounds like a news broadcaster! If it hadn’t been for the story line I would have stopped listening. Skip this one on audible and read it yourself

Meh

The premise is good, execution bad. I found myself skipping through the majority of the book

From kid to baby focused- going in wrong direction

If I thought the previous novella was too kid focused, this one is ten times worse.
Mama-drama is not my idea of sexy times. Nor is the constant reference to “panties.”
The summery promised the “hottest sex” but this was dull as dirt.

My observations as it relates to the whole series:
I like protector romance because it usually has danger plots; in the series, the only conflicts are personal. The other downside is that, except in the beginning and end, the stories involve just the two of them, which is fine to keep things zipping along as befits a novella … it’s just that the family and friend dynamics with the larger cast add a needed depth. Finally, if the sole focus is the romance and the sex with men in uniform, duet narration would sell these so much better.
