Leave Me Breathless (Winterville Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Carrie Elks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 3,414 ratings
She’s his best friend’s little sister. Completely off-limits. And now she’s moving in with him…

When Gabe Winter’s best friend calls with an unusual request – give his broken-hearted little sister a roof over her head for a few months – he readily accepts.

But he doesn’t expect Nicole to be quite so enticing. Or for her to bring out all the feelings in him. Feelings he thought he’d buried long ago, beneath his easy-going façade and womanizing reputation.

But now they’re spending late nights watching movies together, snuggled beneath the blankets with popcorn in their hands. And there's inches between her lips and his.

It’s wrong but it’s also inevitable. He’s falling for the one woman he shouldn’t want.

He’s in over his head, but drowning never felt so good.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.

    Pretty slow burn. Was an ok read but felt like it dragged. I didn’t read the first two in series and did feel like was missing a bit, would recommend reading in order. There were a some steamy scenes but a lot of build up. Felt that the issues were resolved pretty quickly and HEA was nice

    He's having his best friends sister to stay - no problem. But it is and he's rocked on his arse cos being a gentleman is going to be more difficult than he thought! Steamy attraction, clandestine hookups and a high level of guilt mix with offbeat humour, high romance and characters to die for making this a brilliant read.
    LOVED THIS. 💕❤💘💋

    I loved Nicole and Gabe. Nicole comes and stays with her brother’s best friend. Gabe knows he shouldn’t but can’t fight the attraction he feels towards her. Without giving things away I can tell you that the book will transport you to the world of a heroine who is determined to start anew after a horrible break up and a hero who can’t help but falling for the one girl he really should resist. I loved the book and read it in one sitting. If you like a cosy read that gives you all the feels, order this book. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
