Blurb
He's
going above and beyond the call of duty...
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...
Meet Avery
& Drew in Katee Robert’s newest sexy standalone from Entangled Brazen!

AVAILABLE!
Excerpts
#1
All she had to do was pick up the phone and make the call.
Well, she refused to be a coward, and there was never a
better time than now. She dialed, hating herself for holding her breath, and
nearly hung up in a panic when he answered,
“Flannery.”
Her nervous energy got away from her, and words popped out
of her mouth before she could think better of them. “Morning! Just calling with
your daily sex status report.”
A heartbeat, and then he laughed. “Okay, I’ll bite. How’d I
do?”
“Oh, you know, just fine.”
“Fine?” A car door slammed somewhere in the distance.
“Sweetheart, that was a far sight better than ‘fine.’”
She was going to get through this with sheer bravado. The
only other option was to sit down and talk about their feelings, which so
wasn’t on the menu if Avery had anything to say about it. A little more relaxed
now, she settled onto the rocking chair and propped her feet on the chest. “It
was a solid six.”
“That’s so cute when you mix up your numbers. Yesterday was
a ten.”
She paused, pretending to consider. “Oh, no, definitely not
a ten. I would have noticed if Sam Elliott or Sean Connery showed up.”
“You have seriously questionable taste.”
“I do not. I have excellent taste. Those voices…” She
sighed, putting a little extra breathiness into it. “Actually, I’m adding
Benedict Cumberbatch to that list. He’d be a ten.”
“No. Absolutely not. I draw the line at being outranked by a
man with better cheekbones than most women. He is not attractive.”
“Don’t be jealous that you can’t make women come just by
talking to them.”
“Two words—phone sex.”
Her laugh died. After what they’d just done, she didn’t like
the reminder that he’d rocked other women’s worlds, but she’d better get used
to it. This was Drew, and he’d never had a problem with the ladies. “Kudos to
you, then.”
His tone shifted, the playfulness disappearing. “What are
you doing for lunch?”
You. No, wait, she couldn’t say that.
She still didn’t know where they stood. She couldn’t just assume they were
going to keep having sex because they were joking about yesterday.
Avery twisted her hair. “I hadn’t decided.”
“I’ll make it easy on you—my place, noon.”
The growl in his voice made her shiver, but she forced a
laugh. “Are we going to walk twenty paces and have a shootout?”
“If by shootout, you mean you’re going to come screaming my
name, then yes.”
#2
What was the problem? She bit back the question. It didn’t
really matter. All that mattered was that he kept touching her. He ran his
hands down her spine, stopping just before reaching the cuffs. Then he pulled
her into a standing position, using his hips to keep her pinned against the
side of the Jeep, and repeated the process with the front of her body.
Or he started to. It stopped being a cursory exploration as
soon as he reached her breasts. He cupped her, squeezing. “Why the hell aren’t
you wearing a bra?”
He lightly pinched her nipples and she shivered. “I wasn’t
aware I was talking to the fashion police.”
“Do you know what it does to me knowing you’re driving
around, a short step away from being topless?” His breath brushed the back of
her neck and over one shoulder, raising goose bumps in its wake.
Probably the same thing it did to Avery. She didn’t make a
habit of going braless, but she might start if this was the reaction she got.
She took a shaky breath. “Then I guess you better not do a panty check.”
Drew froze for one eternal second. Then he pushed her back
down over the hood of her Jeep and dragged her skirt up to bunch around her
hips. A breeze chose that moment to hit—as if she needed the reminder of just
how exposed she was. But then he slid a hand between her legs, and she didn’t
care much about anything else at all.
“You’re already wet.” He teased her, fingers brushing her
clit, her entrance, and back again, nothing close to what she needed. “I think
you like it when I toss you around.”
She gritted her teeth, fighting against the need to spread
her legs to give him better access, and beg for him to just touch her. “Nah. I
was touching myself while I was driving.”
“Really?” He kept up his maddening route. “And what were you
thinking about?”
Hell, if she actually had started early, she’d have been
thinking about him. Yesterday had given her plenty of ammunition for fantasies.
No way in hell would she admit as much, though. “Sean Connery. Obviously.”
“Obviously.” His laugh was a little harsh. “Guess I’ll have
to up my game if I want you in the here and now, huh?”
Up his game? Only if he wanted to kill her. Avery couldn’t
admit she was so affected. She wouldn’t. It was just sex—and sex with a
deadline, at that. She let her cheek rest against the cool metal of the hood,
striving for control. “I don’t know. Sean Connery is a pretty tough act to
follow.”
“Sean Connery, huh?”
“Yep.” She was lying through her teeth and she had a pretty
good idea that he knew it. His fingers pushed deeper, spreading her until she
couldn’t help but rock against him. She gritted her teeth. “He was really
good.”
“I bet.” His lips found the back of her neck. “It’s a shame
you have to settle for me.”
The ass didn’t sound the least bit bothered by it, either.
She hissed out a breath at the feeling of his palm cupping
her. Owning her. It wasn’t supposed to be this intense. She closed her eyes,
but that only made it worse, because she couldn’t pretend she was with anyone
else but Drew.
She didn’t want to.
My Review
"This wasn't about seducing her--this was just him being a good friend. Maybe not all friends would make the same offer he just had, but most people weren't as close as he and Avery were."
I love a good friends-to-lovers story! This one is great!
Avery has made a decision. She is going to be a mom. Her clock is ticking and she needs to answer the call. With issues in her family history, she fears she may never become a mother. It's now or never in her mind.
Now just to get a donor...
Drew has been Avery's best friend since they were children. They have been through everything together-life, death, and everything in between. What he didn't want to admit is his feelings towards her. So when she decides that she's going to get some random "frozen pop" to be the father, he knows he has to do something about it.
What if he were the father?
"Avery wasn't just any woman. She was Avery. And if he was going to do this, he was going to do it right."
Drew makes Avery an offer she just can't refuse. Not only because she trusts him to be by her side through it all, but because she's always wondered what it would be like with her best friend. Believe me, I would have taken the offer too!! Goodness me, he is a sexy man!
"Whatever he'd expected when he'd agreed to this, it wasn't this. He'd just had sex with Avery. His best friend, his partner in crime, the one person in this world who knows all his secrets. And, worst of all, he wanted to do it again."
This story takes you though the emotions of not only friendship, but family dynamics, life change, and most of all-- how hard love truly is.
"Avery, you're going to be my undoing."
I really liked this book and all the charcters involved. I'll admit that I got teary eyed a couple of times because, like I said, I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers stories. There are serious parts, funny parts, and downright sexy as sin parts! This book had it all.
I hope there are more for these charcters because I would love to read it!!!
"She trusted him. It was something he'd known- he trusted her with his life, too- but this felt different than what they'd had before. This was deeper, more profound, just more."

About the Author
KATEE ROBERT
New York Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author
Katee Robert learned to tell stories at her grandpa’s knee.
Her favorites then were the rather epic adventures of The Three Bears, but at
age twelve she discovered romance novels and never looked back.
Though she dabbled in writing, life got in the way—as it
often does—and she spent a few years traveling, living in both Philadelphia and
Germany. In between traveling and raising her two wee ones, she had the crazy
idea that she’d like to write a book and try to get published.
Her first novel was an epic fantasy that, God willing, will
never see the light of day. From there, she dabbled in YA and horror, before
finally finding speculative romance. Because, really, who wouldn’t want to
write entire books about the smoking-hot relationships between two people?
She now spends her time—when not lost in Far Reach
worlds—playing imaginary games with her wee ones, writing, ogling men, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
