Not Just Friends is the 3rd book in the Brookfield series. It can be read as a stand alone book but isn't it always more fun to read all the books to get to know the other characters?? :-)Alyssa's life consists of taking care of her bookstore, then going home to her cat & tv dinners. Connor is very rich & has quite the social life but is hiding a very big part of him. The only one who knows the secret part of his life is Alyssa. Alyssa believes that Connor only likes her as a friend because how could such a handsome man find her attractive??A reading challenge between the two friends starts them both on a road that they both could only dream about.I absolutely loved the chemistry between the two characters. They had a special "friendship" bond from the very beginning of the story. And of course who wouldn't have a crush on a very handsome & rich man??? Connor was such a down to earth person, even though he could have all the luxuries in the world. He accepted Alyssa for who she was but wanted to treat her to the things in life that she deserved.There was even a twist in the story that will keep the reader turning the pages. It was a ""whoa....really??" scene.I have to admit that there was "reading challenge" scene that had me laughing out loud. You will too and trust me you will most definitely know what scene I am referring to. lolThe other two books in the series areFinding HomeBare NecessitiesPick up all three books and enjoy an afternoon of reading. You will not be sorry. This was by far my favorite book in the series but trust me, they are all fabulous stories
