Flirting with Forever

I adore a good best-friends-to-lovers story and Kendall Ryan’s Flirting With Forever was a great one. Ryan’s writing always entertains me, especially when it’s one of her sexy and sweet contemporary romances. The way that she blends her charming plots with a steamy romance between two characters I’m rooting for never fails to produce a story that I easily fall into. Kendall Ryan’s contemporary romances are light-hearted pleasures to read, and thankfully, she’s given her readers many of them to enjoy this year.Cam and Natalie’s easy-going, comfortable friendship was genuine and real, and whether it was as friends or a couple, I loved them together. After so many years as best friends, these two were very much in-sync and knew each other well. It was obvious how much they cared for one another, but somewhere along the way, their feelings started to change. By telling Natalie and Cam’s story in both of their points-of-view, Kendall really helps the reader to connect with these characters by bringing them into their thoughts. Once they each realized their feelings for the other had shifted, it was like the chemistry between them exploded and the flood gates of emotion opened wide. I absolutely loved the delicious, slow-burn build up between them, and I definitely appreciated how Ryan drew that out by not rushing things between them. Once they crossed that line, however, there was no going back for either one of them, and I was right there with them in this heart-soaring romance. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though, and Ryan interjected just enough conflict to keep things interesting without drowning this budding romance in drama.Flirting With Forever was a charming love story that I was fully invested in and kept a smile on my face as I devoured it in a single sitting. I happily and easily got lost in this sweet romance, and these kinds of fun, easy-reading and sexy stories are what I love most from Kendall Ryan. Flirting With Forever by Kendall Ryan gets 4.5 smooches from me!

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**Kendall Ryan is a one-click author for me and she has definitely just reinforced that with Flirting with Forever. I love stories where there is already a connection or relationship between the two characters. You already have something to build from and how they end up where they are going is always the fun part.Natalie and Cam have been friends for years. The two of them, along with their friend, Jack, have been like the three amigos since they were teenagers. They rely on one another, they support one another and they are one another's chosen family. The one thing the two guys always agreed upon was the fact that they would never go after Natalie. That sounds good in theory, but when Cam's feelings start to grow, he's terrified that he might not only lose the woman he's beginning to fall for, but also his other best friend too. Will Cam be the only one feeling the way he is and will he be able to navigate the unknown waters of a potential relationship with Natalie?The chemistry between Natalie and Cam is explosive. There is no other way to put it. You can feel it jumping off the page at you. I also loved how sweet and considerate Cam was. He was always thinking about Natalie and what was best for her. He was clearly a genuine guy and who wouldn't love that?! I also loved that Natalie was her own woman. She had a childhood that could have molded her very differently, but she wanted to make something of herself on her own and I really admired that.This was one of those books that captivated me from the first page and I read it in a matter of hours. This is a complete standalone and I highly recommend picking up this best friends romance. You won't be sorry!

I love sweet sexy stories with very little angst and this hit the mark. Natalie and Cam are best friends since they were kids. I loved that they both new each other was a the one but neither of them ever letting their minds go there...until now.And who better to give them the push they need than their mutual BFF Jack.This was a fun sexy read and I’m even more excited for the next one by KR!

This story was truly enjoyable. I expected it was going to last a good long time, because our characters were taking their sweet time to come together... but seriously, we went from 0-60 in two seconds. I almost had whiplash!Cam, Jack and Nat have been friends for more than a decade. Cam and Jack made a pact when they first met Natalie, and agreed she was off limits. Natalie was happy to have at least two people in her life who truly got who she was, because her parent really didn't.After Jack has a bad break up, he and Cam make another pact, a celibacy pact... no sex for 30 days. Now all three friends are single, and the two guys are being celibate.It's like this deal has a crazy affect on Camden, because he suddenly can't keep his mind off his best friend Nat. The bride is bumpy, until it isn't. We watch the two of them kind of struggle to accept their feelings and attraction for one another through most of the book, than BAM, they give into their desire, and the book ends in a HEA... seriously, I would have loved it if this story had been paced better, give me more after they finally fall into each other's arms, or don't make me wait so long...Over all, it was an entertaining read. The author did a fantastic job of creating characters you absolutely adore, and I only wish I could read Jacks story now.

I really did like this, I gave it three stars because there were a few things missing. I love a good friendship to lovers story, and this one didn't disappoint overall but it wasn't perfect. Firstly, Cams feelings seemed to come on all of a sudden for no particular reason really... I know Nat had a date with someone which obviously made him a little jealous but it just seemed like it happened a bit out of nowhere. Same with Natalie's feelings too, in the beginning I just wasn't convinced... But when they finally started getting physical it got better and I started to believe it more. Also, why did Jack storm out the room all angry after finding them in bed together, just to say he knew and basically pushed them towards each other? Didn't make sense. But Cam and Nats chemistry towards the end was lovely, and I really liked how it ended.

Hats off to you Kendall. This was a fabulously written book.So much fun and sweetness and love with a touch of sexy all rolled into one story.Cam and Natalie's was a great story and journey of true friendship turning into love with some great hits by Jack .No spoilers just read the book. Thank you Kendall

I liked the sample of this story, however as the story progressed I found the characters too annoyingly perfect and obvious. I couldn't stomach reading any more and had to give up.

This was a slow burn to begin with and I did think about moving on to something else, but I'm so glad that I didn't because the second half was brilliant. Sexy, passionate and swoony. Well worth the read.

Really enjoyed this short but sweet book. Loved Cam, he was such a charmer but not in a cocky way which was endearing and not like normal characters. Nat was sweet and likeable too!
