Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series Book 3) by Marlyn Love – Review by Kerry Carr

Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Irresistible series but they can be read as a standalone. However after reading this one you will definately want to go back to read the first two books. This book was such an emotional read you will definately need tissues. The author does an amazing job of creating so much chemistry and tension between the two main characters but also showing the reader the confusion, heartbreak, guilt and constant battle they have to go through to not give into their feelings.
Brian and Amanda chemistry is electric right from the first time they meet. Little did Brian know that the woman who could be the one is his best friends little sister.
After Brian was warned to not mess around with Amanda, they both decide it would be best to remain friends.
Brian has never done relationships. He has always been a guy for 1 night stands but when we learn more about his story and the secret he hides from everyone which makes him live every day like his last we can understand why.
Amanda is such a sweet character who is a romantic at heart. She feels the power of the attraction between herself and Brian and wants nothing more than to follow her heart and jump right in but Brian keeps pushing her away.
Can this couple every overcome the obstacles in their way? Will Brian ever be able to confide in his friends about what is really happening to him? And what happens if they leave it too late to give their feelings for each other a chance? Could they potentially miss out on the love of their lives all because of the risk of spoiling their friendship?

Honestly the writing of this author is so beautiful you feel every emotion between these characters and I was cheering for them all the way, even though at times I wanted to bang their heads together and make them see what was in front of them. Beautiful story, emotional read and chemistry that was off the scale this was a great read.
