Wicked Little Promise: A Steamy Boss/Intern Romance (Lake State University Book 4) Kindle Edition
My secret crush is also my new boss…
We’re also friends. Nothing more.
So what if he’s sexy, tempting, smells like heaven, and makes my girly parts twitch? He’s also sweet, caring, and everything I’d want in a man… if I wanted one.
Which I don’t.
Falling in love is the last thing I want right now. I’m not even sure I believe in love anymore. It leads to heartbreak and that’s an emotional rollercoaster I’m not interested in riding.
All my friends might be coupled up and deliriously happy, but that doesn’t mean I want what they have. Happily ever after is not in the cards for me.
No, I’m not jealous.
I keep telling myself that, not that I believe my own lies.
Which makes the next few months the biggest challenge of my life. Spending hours alone with him. Working side-by-side late into the night. Keeping my hormones in check when I get a whiff of his intoxicating scent.
I can handle this. I’ll just repress my feelings the same way I have been since the moment we met. Masked by a fake smile and practiced deep breathing.
How hard can it be?
When he starts making me promises, it becomes harder than I could have ever imagine. Because I want him to keep those promises even though I know he won’t be able to. I won’t let him.
It’s the only way to keep myself from falling in love with him.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022Julian is the total package, good looks, athletic, runs his loving parents restaurant and has been working up the courage to tell Piper how he feels since they met two years ago. Piper is gorgeous, smart and another finding out her parents are divorcing feels disillusioned by love. When they are forced to spend time together in and out of class, Julian and Piper finally succumb to their mutual feelings. Sweet, sexy, a little drama with HEA
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022This is the fourth book in this amazing series and is Julian and Piper’s journey. Piper has given up on love and HEA as her world has fallen apart since the summer, and after all her friends are finding their significant others, she feels pushed out. When an internship opportunity arises Piper jumps at the chance, and finds that she will be working Julian, who has secretly loved her for years, but never acted on his feeling as she did not appear to be interested. The more time Julian and Piper work together he is determined to convince her to take a chance on them. Will Piper notice what is right in front of her before it is to late? This is a well written story which is sweet, and with friendships, family, tension, emotions, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining and all-consuming addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022This is an honest review for an arc received.
Piper’s world fell apart over the summer. After learning of her parents’ divorce and the lies that went with it, she no longer believes in love or happily ever after. She struggles knowing her friends are happy and in love with their significant others and she seems to be pushed aside. When an internship opportunity comes up to finish her thesis, she jumps on it. Once she realizes she will work closely with the one guy who stars in her every dream, well that will be the ultimate challenge.
Julian has been secretly in love with Piper since the moment he laid eyes on her. He’s never made his move since he’s positive she isn’t interested. But when she is chosen as his intern at his family’s restaurant, all bets are off. He wants nothing more than to be with her, but with everything going on in his life he is afraid of failing.
4 1/2 amazing stars! I have to say, I love Julien and Piper. They are , so far, my favorite couple in this series. Julien is the ideal book boyfriend. Caring, thoughtful, loving, hot, sexy and patient. The tension and push and pull between these characters was spot on. I love that we still see all past characters and they all still play major roles in each story.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022A slow-burn, friends to lovers story that will have you smiling, swooning, and looking for your own Julian.
I really liked that Piper decided to push past her hesitation—due to her parents relationship—and take a chance with her long time crush.
And the sneak peek we got for the next book? *chefs kiss* it's going to be fabulous
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022Wicked Little Promise is Book #4 in the Lake State University series. Books are interconnected and best enjoyed read in order. With each book you fall just a little bit more in love with this group of friends. And, Rachael with her Easter eggs thrown in making us wonder and want the next books. Julian and Piper are the absolute sweetest. Friends to Lovers is a favorite of mine. Julian makes the best promises.
Book is told thru dual first person perspective.
Piper had her world turned upside down this summer. She is keeping this not so fun fact from her friends. They are all pairing up and in love. She has sworn it off.
Julian has wanted Piper since he first laid eyes on her two years ago. Everyone, but Piper sees it. Julian feels stuck in the friends zone.
But, life is about to throw them together where avoiding the underlying attraction they have will be impossible. Julian needs help with a class they both are taking, Piper needs her internship to be successful to write her thesis.
Piper makes him promise they will remain just friends. But, you know what they say about promises and good intentions?
One eye opening conversation. New promises made. One request for just a chance…
