Overall Content Rating: Restricted R
This is an adult contemporary romance built around attraction, dating tension, and secret relationships. Expect frequent flirting, jealousy, and scenes where characters kiss, undress, and have explicit sex, with strong and moderate language woven through those moments and everyday life. Parents should expect body-focused crude talk, repeated mild swearing, and intermittent strong swears, sometimes within earshot of a young child in the story. There is no meaningful sampled content in the categories of horror, racism, LGBTQ+ themes, or graphic physical violence; conflict is mainly emotional and romantic rather than action-oriented.

About this book
Love has no rules. Not when it comes to your brothers best friend and not when it comes to the single dad next door. “Hi, I’m Alexis, your sister.” Ew, no. Scratch that. “Hey yo …” *palms forehead* Oh god, I'm losing it. For months, my confidence has been high on how I was going to approach the brother I'd been separated from as a child. The plan I'd made was smooth. Do you know what wasn’t in those plans? Falling for my brother's best friend. *closes eyes and counts to ten* Do you know what else I didn't plan for? Not telling said best friend who I am. Nope, I settled with the mysterious new girl next door. I played the floor is lava with his kid once. Yep, my brother's best friend/the hottie across the hall is a single dad and do you know what’s worse than dancing around fake hot coals with a kid? It’s wondering who’s going to find out who I am first. The guy I'm fooling around with or my brother. In the end, I think I’m going to get burned either way. Read more
