Brother's Best Friend: The Forbidden Trope I Can’t Get Enough Of

 


One of my favorite tropes is Falling for your Brother's Best Friend. Maybe it's the forbidden fruit factor since chances are high that the brother has warned all of his friends to stay away from his sister. Or maybe it's the knowing that if your brother trusts his best friend, then he has to be an all-right guy.  Either way, it's there's a girl getting involved with her brother's best friend, I'm all for it. 

Keeping it a secret NEVER works, and there is always some angst when the brother realizes that his best friend and his sister have their own relationship, completely separate from him.

Here are 3 books that I have enjoyed with the Brother's Best Friend trope. 

You Surround Me by A.G. Hayes -  Kenna and Logan not only have to deal with their growing feelings for each other, despite Logan being big brother Matt's best friend, but Logan has a lot to deal with his abusive father. 

How to Score Off Field by Sara Ney -  Drew returns to his hometown and discovers that his long time best friend's little sister Tess has grown up nicely, and after spending some time together, there's a little surprise for them both. 

Cocky Score by Kenna King - Autumn's PR company assigns her with the task of helping to improve the image of pro hockey player Briggs Conley. The same Briggs Conley that is her brother's best friend, and the same Briggs Conley that she's been crushing on for years.  Add a fake dating scenario and an angry big brother into the mix and this is one you won't be able to put down.


If Brother's Best Friend is one of your favorite tropes, post about it on your blog and then share the link here.  I am always looking for more BBF's to fall in love with!
