My Brother's Forbidden Friend

What a wonderful ending to a fantastic series . This is Cam and Chevelle’s story and so emotional and heartwarming . I loved this book it brought so much together and a family full of love for each other .

I have read almost everything available from these authors and each couple is unique and their stories are so warm and heartfelt. I love the way this one completed the Greene family series so perfectly with the romance, the emotion, the laughter and that wonderful Alaskan scenery. Thank you so much to you all and your team for once again making beautiful magic on the page.

Cam really surprised me, I thought I had him all figured out but definitely did not. I loved how protective he was of Chevelle and how he never backed down to make her his. I always love these series and get so invested in them so it always makes me sad when they end. I feel so connected to all of these characters but am so happy about the new series and the time jump. I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is Chevelle's story, and I absolutely adored it and I loved watching her battle it out with Cam. In addition, they end up becoming roomies and that's when this books hotness and romance really comes out and I loved watching these two falls hard for each other. Cam and Chevelle have known each other forever and he has always held a very special part of her heart because he was there when her mother died saving her life. But Cam is also Chevelle's brothers Fisher's best friend and so while he has always wanted her, he has tried hard to fight his feelings for her. In trying to deny their feelings Chevelle has picked the worst guys and when her latest would-be boyfriend prospect causes Cam to defend her, his father ends up telling him he needs to grow up and earning his keep. And that's how he ends up being Chevelle new roomie and running a boat that is also one that competes with her for the marina's customers. And when they decide to make a small challenge well that's when the mischief and shenanigans begin, and I fell hard for these two and could not put this down. This is a wonderful way for the series to end and I am so sad to say goodbye to the Greene family. I absolutely adored their story and Cam and Chevelle are definitely my favorite couple in this series.

4.5 stars This is the last in the Greene Family series. Hank was a widower with five kids who married Marla, who was a divorced mom of four. They ended up having a son together, so they ended up raising ten kids, altogether. Chevelle is Hank’s youngest. When she was five, she tried to find her brothers and ended up on thin ice. Her mother went out on the ice to get her. Chevelle made it back, but her mother died. Even with therapy. Chevelle has carried around that grief throughout the series. Chevelle is all grown up and running her chatter fishing service. Cam Baker is her brother’s best friend, and Chevelle’s childhood crush. When Cam is cut off from his father’s wealth, he is given a chance to redeem himself by establishing a new charter fishing company. This leads to a business rival/ brother’s best friend romance. Overall, a fun read. I’ve loved the Cam/Chevelle dynamic throughout the series, and their story did not disappoint. I received an arc of this book from the author for my unbiased review.

Hands down, Cam and Chevelle's story is my very favorite Greene couple of the series! I was almost disappointed that Xavier and Clara's story wasn't saved for last, but having Chevelle be the last Greene to fall was so much more fitting. Cam has been a fixture in Chevelle's life since she was a child. In fact, he's the person who comforted her after the death of her mom. Not that her family didn't, but he was her rock, even at age 10. Their relationship has been slightly contentious over the years...since she was hiding a crush...but never mean and a whole lot flirtatious, because that's who Cam is. Or at least, that's who he portrays himself to be. But as we see in their story, there's a lot more to Cameron Baker than the rich kid working for his dad. And Chevelle has more hidden guilt than previously thought. So there's more than a few revelations revealed as they get closer to a more personal. Cam and Chevelle are funny and sexy. While he's a prankster on occasion, Cam is not mean or malicious. He always has Chevelle's back, even if she might not see it. And he loosens Chevelle up in a way that no one else, including her family, does. They just fit. I love their banter but I also loved those quiet, bonding moments that they share. And of course, that ultra hot chemistry! I know there's a holiday novella coming out soon, to catch us up on the Greene's in the future, and I'm sure they'll pop up in name, at least, if not in cameos, in other Piper Rayne books. But I'll miss those Greene-centric stories now that their series is coming to its close. It's been a wild ride and I'm so glad I was along for the whole thing!

Overall, I liked this story between Cam and Chevelle. The pranks made me laugh and highlighted the easy relationship between the characters and their families. The “taboo” relationship between Cam, the best friend, and Chevelle was done well in that their affection and love for each other was clear even before their relationship graduated to the romantic side. Certain parts felt a little slow but overall, I rooted for this couple to get their HEA, all with a smile throughout.
