Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love is an emotional, heartfelt romance!

Brian is the consummate bachelor, never being with a woman twice. He has hidden his heart behind some heavy-duty walls, not to ever be penetrated by love. He has his reasons, and they are far from typical. When he spots a woman across the room, she will tempt him in ways he never thought possible. Amanda has come back to Boston to fulfill her dreams, but she wasn’t expecting to meet a man who makes her feel the way that Brian does in their very first encounter. However, fate has other plans for them. Amanda is off-limits to Brian since she is his best friend’s sister. They decide to put that chemistry aside and settle for being friends, but what if they were truly meant to be more…..

I enjoy complex characters and uncovering their layers. Love definitely gave me that in Brian and Amanda, but especially Brian. Let’s start with Amanda…she was lovely. She was gorgeous, but it was her soul that resonated with me. She was determined and made her dreams a reality, but she was loyal and loving…and she stuck by Brian when any other woman would have left him in the rearview mirror! There wasn’t anything I disliked about Amanda at all!!!

On the other hand, Brian elicited a great deal of complicated feelings for me. I loved him, but oh my gosh, I wanted to kill him at times, especially when he was so cruel to Amanda. I was like her brother, I wanted to punch him in the face!!!!! Yet, I loved him because I knew he was just reacting because of grief and fear. Thankfully, he redeemed himself in the end.

Not only were the characters engaging but so was the storyline. I liked the fact that Love extended it over six years. It really gave Brian and Amanda a great foundation, rooted in friendship. She also knows how to really pull at readers’ emotions, and I can never resist a book that tugs at my heart.

This is the first book I have read by Marlyn Love, and I’m so ecstatic that I found her. If you are looking for a book that tugs at your heartstrings and breaks your heart somewhat but finally gives you an epic HEA, don’t miss out on this one! Download it or buy a copy TODAY!!!

Brian and Amanda have become one of my favorite novel couples. Whew, the chemistry with these two. I was rooting for them no doubt. Brian meets a goddess just to find out it is his best friend’s sister. They go a long time avoiding each other. It is a slow burn. Brian with his playboy reputation, slowly wins our heart. He is wounded by memories which has caused some commitment issues. Seeing his character mature over time in the book was my favorite part. Watching a genuine love develop between the characters that isn’t based on sexual attraction although it is there. It was based more on the friendship that had developed and their mutual respect they have for each other. Great read!

This story had me all in my feelings. It is a great story of friendship to love to everything! Brian and Amanda will make you rethink all relationships for sure. I never realized it was third in a series as the book is a great stand alone story. Definitely will go back and read the first two though. Marlyn’s writing style will make you wanna read all her stories.

Marlyn Love’s book Beyond Friendship had me in tears throughout the entire book. There were times that I wondered if Brian was ever going to catch a break. The poor guy had been dealt a hard hand to deal with not only from losing his father but then to be dealing with a lifelong illness that he was not willing to share the burden of with even his closest friends. Only his mom knew what he was living with, the same disease that had taken his father from them. Brian lived his life as a playboy with no strings attached, which was how he liked it, no chance of getting hurt or of allowing anyone to get hurt by losing him. Until he met Amanda, the goddess of his dreams, and his best friend Nick’s little sister. No matter how much Brian tried to move past his feelings for Amanda, he just couldn’t get over the fact that they had a strong pull of desire and attraction between them. Can Brian keep Amanda in the friend zone, and keep his illness a secret from his closest friends, or will fate have a different plan in store for him?

This book was so informative as well as so realistic, there were times when I would get so frustrated with the characters for the choices they were making, and other times when I wanted to jump for joy that they were finally being true to themselves and their feelings. All in all, I was invested in this book wholeheartedly, to the point that it literally had me in tears as I was reading, wiping my eyes just to see the words in front of me. This is such an inspiring love story, that left me feeling as if I’d just finished running a marathon right alongside the characters. This book has it all, you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a good read with a happily ever after.

Brian has been living it up and enjoying the bachelor lifestyle. He’s had his share of one night stands and is looking forward to one this particular evening until he discovers who his target is: Amanda. His best friend Nick’s younger sister. As for Amanda she’s back in town and getting ready to launch ladies boutique that she’s been dreaming of opening. These two have been dancing around each other for years, but now it seems the stars have aligned. I have gone and read these out of order as I did not realize this book was part of a series. The author did a great job of holding the attention of the reader and bringing these characters to life. The story can be read as a standalone, but now that I know a few of these characters have stories of their own I want to read them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is an absolute rollercoaster of a romance in the best and softest of ways. It includes many of the tropes that we all know and love when looking for more contemporary romance books: best friend’s little sister? Check. A too hot man with a heavy secret holding him back? Check. A sweet girl just pursuing her dreams? Check. A successful man with a bachelor reputation? Check. An amazing slow burn romance? Check.
This is the story of Amanda Brown and Brian Fox, as they navigate their relationship through the years as it blooms and withers as they try and fight their attraction for each other. I definitely recommend taking the time to read this, I know I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Beyond Friendship is a friends-to-lovers story about Brian and Amanda. Amanda is a clothing store owner who just moved back to her hometown. Her brother is best friends with Brian who ends up being a club owner. Brian is a ladies’ man and refuses to settle down due to a secret he holds. Brian sees Amanda at a bar one night and decides she is his next conquest, but upon approaching her, his best friend Nick comes to see his sister and the thought of her taking her home dies. However, both felt this amazing connection in just those short moments. Because he doesn’t “date” they remain friends. Over a handful of years, they remain friends and sexually keep their distance although Amanda doesn’t want that and tells him so. Brian eventually gives in and realizes he just can’t live without her. Both have never felt this way about someone else before. However, while both are extremely happy, the secret that he has becomes evident and he starts to let his insecurities take over his relationship and decisions for his future. Will Brian be able to get over himself long enough to see what is standing right in front of him?
I enjoyed this love story. There were ups and downs and moments where I hated Brian, but completely understood him. Brian turns into a loving, doting partner who can’t get out of his own way until things can’t get any worse. On the other hand, Amanda was an amazing character. She was portrayed as a lovely woman, ambitious, loving, honest, comforting, and understanding. As a woman, she handled herself very well through this story. Emotionally, there were also a lot of ups and downs so kept you on your toes and interested in the story.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series Book 3

I fell in love with all three of the guys in just this book. I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting them before now but they all left quite an impression on me. Of course Brian’s was the biggest since it’s his story.

My emotions were all over the place while reading and may have gotten some weird looks from the family as I sat here crying during certain parts.

Amanda was exactly what Brian needed when she came into his life. The chemistry was off the charts from the moment they laid eyes on one another and resisted due to Nick warning him off and Brian not being interested in more than one night.

I need to go back and read Nick and Cole’s stories and I hope there will be another, don’t think this group is done telling their stories yet.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3) by Marilyn Love. I loved this contemporary romance.

As they become friends they both want more but are both afraid. Will Brian be able to have a relationship with Amanda even though he doesn’t want anyone to find out about his secret?

What an emotion filled read!! Brian commits to nothing but one night stands because of a secret he is trying hard to keep from everyone he cares about and then along comes Amanda, she is his best friends sister and more temptation than anyone he has ever met. He knows he shouldn’t get involved with her in any way other than friendship but their connection and chemistry is beyond words and can’t be denied forever. This is definitely a rollercoaster ride of emotions by a very talented author that you don’t want to miss out on!

Although I believe this story can be read as a stand alone, it’s the third book in the irresistible series. This read shows you that some times people listen to their brain and not their heart. After a life altering event both Brian and Amanda begin to give in to their chemistry and into what they have been avoiding for over six years. The author does a great job making you feel the emotions the characters feel. I’m anxious to read other stories by this author and in this series too.

Brian owns Six-Pack, the hottest nightclub, and is the perfect bachelor. He is Mr. One Night and won’t even entertain anything more with someone. Brian is about to act on his impulses when he sees Amanda for the first time. Until he finds out she’s his best friend’s younger sister that is. Amanda is a successful entrepreneur and knows Brian is off-limits, even if she feels their chemistry and longs for more than friendship.
Can Brian set his fears aside before he destroys every chance for happiness?
Beyond Friendship is emotional and pull on your heartstrings for so many reasons. Marlyn Love does a great job making the reader feel so many emptions and getting drawn in to the relationship between Brian and Amanda.

Beyond Friendship is the third book in the Irresistible series by Marlyn Love. This book follows the story of Brian, an eternal bachelor with a fondness of beautiful women and Amanda, the sister of Brian’s best friend. When the two cross paths there is an instant spark, which only seems to grow, despite Brians protestations about how the two would never work out. When the pair finally discuss their feelings, it seems like it is all going well until a series of events unfold which scares Brian into thinking that this isn’t the right path. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I really liked this book, I found Amanda to be really likable, she is a strong woman and I really liked that. Brian needed a bit of a push in the right direction but ultimately was a good guy. I would recommend this book if you like the friends to lovers genre.

Beyond Friendship
By: Marilyn Love

This is the first book I have read by Marilyn Love. However, it is the third in the series. It definitely reads as a standalone as I completely understood what was going on and hadn’t read any of the previous books. That being said, I am definitely going back and reading them now. Because Marilyn Love has wonderful character development skills and knows how to write a romance that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I loved Amanda and Brian and their incredibly complicated relationship. It has the best friend’s little sister element but it also has the irresistible elements of absolutely unbelievable chemistry. This book is absolutely wonderful and I recommend it to everyone. The characters are absolutely amazing!

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with a friends to lovers theme which held me captivated throughout. Brian Fox has a reputation for being a bachelor who guards his heart, however no one knows the heavy secret he has or why he has vowed to keep women at a distance. Then Amanda enters his life and her beauty and charm instantly get his attention. He thinks she could be the one, until he discovers that Amanda is his best friends sister, and so is off limits. Amanda returned to Boston with dreams of pursuing her business aspirations, and she’s as determined as she is romantic and so also dreams of an enduring love like her parents have.
When she first meets Brian they share an undeniable instant connection, but she then learns that he’s her brothers best friend and so they decide to remain just friends. However, as each year passes the couple struggle to fight their attraction and chemistry and the limits of their friendship gets tested. This took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this, and I felt completely immersed in the story. I loved the characters and I really felt for Amanda and Brian, who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. I look forward to reading the previous books in the series having thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I loved this book about Brian and Amanda. Brian owns Six-Pack the hottest nightclub in town and is loving his bachelorhood. He never looks for more than one night with someone and then he spots Amanda across the bar. He approaches her and has plans for a crazy night in his mind. His plans come crashing down when he finds out who she is. She’s the hot younger sister of his best friend and immediately shuts it down. Over the years, the chemistry between the two is electric and Brian fights it as hard as possible. Amanda would love for Brian to give in to temptation but his friendship with Nick is more important. Everything seems to go smooth until Amanda needs help finding a venue to host a launch even for a lingerie line she wants to sell in her store. Brian knows he cannot work that closely with her and still remain strong so he tells her that his club is booked. Brian also holds a big secret from all his friends which he can’t keep a secret for much longer.
Will Brian and Amanda be able to be just friends for will Brian ruin his relationship
With his best friend just for a chance with his little sister and then break her heart. Loved the book, grab some tissues as you will need them.

Amanda and Brian have chemistry that can be felt coming off of the pages…if they would just give into it. Brian has secrets that have him living each day as though it could be the last. That includes saying no to relationships and sticking to one night stands. That all changes as soon as Amanda walks into the room. However, when he finds out that she is his best friend’s little sister, he realizes that she is off limits. But, how long can these two remain friends when there are sparks when they are near each other? And…will they be able to give it a chance before it’s too late?

This book grabbed my attention from the get-go. I love a best friend’s sibling forbidden romance…but this was so much more. It is funny and witty, sexy and full of chemistry, while also being heartbreaking and frustrating. There are few books that I can say made me cry while I was reading it…and this was one of them. The author brought these characters to life and I was feeling emotions right along with them. This is a great story that I enjoyed reading!

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.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series Book 3) by Marlyn Love

Beyond Friendship is the third book in The Irresistible Series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance/ Best Friends little sister Romance that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. Going into this book i thought I knew what to expect being this is a best friends sister romance. Well I was wrong on my assumption and what we got was so much more. This is my first book by this author but I’m definitely a fan already. Im definitely going to be looking into the first two books in this series. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with raw, yet developed and relatable characters make for a wonderful story. I literally felt like I could feel the emotions coming from the characters. What I wasn’t expecting either was the emotional rollercoaster ride but man it was worth the heartache I felt for Brian. This is Brian and Amanda’s story. He has a big secret he keeps hidden. He’s a one and done kinda guy and doesn’t let anyone in. He thought he was not looking for love but boy does that change when she walks into the room.. Amanda is one of those hopeless romantics who wants it all but its come at the worst time. Oh my these two had my emotions on high at times and my heart ached for them. Definitely have some tissues handy as you will definitely need them. Can these two get the happy ending they deserve? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Having not read the description when I picked this book up, I was expecting a fun romance story. I was not expecting such an emotional rollercoaster. I instantly became hooked on the story and the characters and loved how everything developed. Although this is the third book in the series, it is the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are what really caught my attention with this story. The way the author portrayed them really had me invested in the story.
I thought the whole book was really well written. It was engaging, emotional and kept you wanting to know more. After reading this book I will definitely be going back to read the rest of the books in the series and I am looking forward to discovering what else this author has to offer.
