The town’s most eligible bachelor just saved my life. I paid him back by puking on him.Callan and Cricket had been best friends since grade school,
but Callan had secretly crushed on Cricket since high school. He feared he would always be relegated to the
friend zone but at least he had her in his life. When Cricket needed somewhere to stay, Callan
saw his chance of making his dreams come true.
When Cricket was suddenly diagnosed with a medical problem,
she knew her parents would suffocate her with good intentions if she stayed
with them. Staying with her best friend
would be best until seeing him without his shirt causes her to reconsider her thoughts
and feelings about her best friend.
Friend Zone Hell is the third book in the Hellman Brothers
series but it was cute as a standalone.
It’s a small town, best friends to lovers’ book, one of my
favorites. It was fast-paced,
entertaining, and straightforward.
Callan and Cricket made the perfect couple, and I loved watching their
relationship grow into more. After
reading this book, I want to go back and read the first two books. I highly recommend this book and hope to see
the Hellman brothers again.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

“Say the word and I’ll back off forever, Cricket. All it takes is a simple no and I’ll never bring this up again, but I gotta tell you, I don’t want to back off. I want to taste your lips and feel your body pressed against me. Preferably with less clothing.” I leaned down and traced a kiss along her neck, seeing the way her breathing kicked up to that of a sprinter. “Tell me to stop, angel.”
She swallowed hard and every cell in my body froze, waiting for an answer. No matter how much it pained me—and good lord would it pain me for the rest of my life—but if she said no I’d honor that and never let her feel my disappointment.
That moment in the kitchen the other night had shown me a tiny morsel of hope, that maybe, just maybe, Cricket felt the same heart stopping excitement when we were together. If there was even a small window of chance, I had to take my shot. Watching my older brothers find love had taken those feelings I’d harbored for Cricket over the years and given them an urgency I could no longer stuff down.
Her blue eyes were eating me up, the flush from earlier turning into a forest fire on her cheeks. Her voice came out on a barely-there breath but I still heard it.
“I don’t want you to stop, Cal.”
