Kit Carlyle isn’t just some woman. Beautiful? Yep. Seductive? Damn straight. She’s also my best friend…and my co-worker. But, hell, I’m a guy with a pulse. Every once in a while, I take a look and think filthy things about her that maybe I shouldn’t.

But when her cousin dies and leaves her with a long as hell and sexy bucket list, Kit turns to me for a helping hand. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a woman in need. Besides, I’m damn sure not about to let another man steal away my girl, occupy her bed, or fill my shoes.

But as the stakes get higher and the items become hotter, I’ll have to face the toughest challenge of all: admitting I want more than Kit’s friendship. I want to make her mine.

 

Nailed Down (Nailed Down, #1) by Chelle Bliss & Eden Butler
Chantal's rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chelle and Eden definitely nailed it with Nailed Down. I am new to reading Eden’s work. Chelle is a must read author for me. Their writing styles mesh well, allowing this pair to work awesome together! It’s a book about being best friends/ co-workers to lovers. This story is told in a dual POV.

Kane is one of the hosts of a DIY show. He definitely loves to build things and has a passion for it. Kane is most definitely all alpha, muscled up, and extremely possessive. He has a dream to eventually own his own furniture business in the future.

Kit is the other host on the same DIY show. She is more about the interior design part of it. She has a knack for seeing the beauty in something that's been neglected. She is very out going on camera, but off, she is completely content with being alone. She wants to open a store that sells her own brand.

Kane and Kit have been best friends/ co-hosts for over five years. They each have felt something for each other, but never acted on it. Kit had recently lost her cousin, the only family she had left. Her cousin left her a “list” of things she wanted Kit to do. Kit asked Kane to help her. He was hesitant at first because of the depth of the list, but he caved and helps her.

Will Kit be able to complete the list and remain friends with Kane? Can Kane overcome his caveman ways and finally admit he loves Kit? What is on the list?

This book was filled with pent up sexual tension between two friends! I loved it! I can’t wait for the next book to come out. It is Kiel’s (Kane’s little brother) story.
