The Husband Checklist: A Brother's Best Friend Romance Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,647 ratings

There are moments when you think life is going one way and a major curveball sends you the complete opposite direction. That’s me, standing in the rain, wondering how things went so terribly wrong.

What do I need? To hide at my brother’s house to lick my wounds.

What do I get? My brother’s roommate, sexy-as-sin best friend, Carter Kennedy.

The cute, adventurous boy who was my teenage crush. The inspiring, irresistible man who will never be mine.

But then things get complicated with fun-filled days and pleasure-filled nights.

If Carter wasn’t the most commitment-phobic person I know, I could consider the cliché of dating my brother’s best friend. But he will never fit the husband checklist I made to find the man who will be my world, and I’m not willing to compromise on that.

At least, that's the plan.

    Title: The Husband Checklist
    Author: Jasmin Miller
    Reviewer: Lorraine Leatham - Rainey Day Book Reviews
    Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This was such a fun read! Full of banter, steamy hot scenes and heartfelt moments - this book will make you fall in love with Carter and Julia!

    After getting dumped by her boyfriend of over two years - Julia finds herself making herself a husband checklist in order to move on after getting dumped be her boyfriend. Who better to help her get her life back on track than her brothers best friend and business partner Carter. He just happens to be her temporary roommate and her childhood crush.

    I have loved all of Jasmin Miller's books. This one is yet another one in the list. Julia finds she is able to find and accept the imperfections that make her who she is. Carter is definitely crush worthy. He is sexy, thoughtful and generous. Carter and Julia are great characters. Add in the right amount of tension and an overprotective brother. It's a wild ride.

    This was A great read!

    This was such a fun read! Full of banter, steamy hot scenes and heartfelt moments - this book will make you fall in love with Carter and Julia!

    After getting dumped by her boyfriend of over two years - Julia decides to make herself a husband checklist in order to move on and get her life back on track. And who better to help her achieve her goals than her brothers best friend and business partner Carter. Oh and he just happens to be her temporary roommate and childhood crush -absolutely no chance for shenanigans - just kidding!

    I enjoyed that this book was more about Julia finding herself and accepting her imperfections rather than just achieving her husband checklist. True to her young age of 23, Julia was a little to naive for me at times, but with age comes wisdom and she is not there yet. Carter is definitely a man worth having a crush on - sexy, thoughtful and generous- especially in the bedroom. The push and pull between the Carter and Julia trying to figure out if their fling could turn into something more added the ideal amount of tension to the story. Add in the overprotective brother who is not happy about any relationship involving his baby sister- you definitely have fun read. There were some good twists and turns to the book to keep the story interesting and had me staying up late to finish. 4.5 stars for me!

    I love the brother’s best friend trope. It is probably my favorite and this was a great one. Carter and Ollie live and work together but when Julia has to move in it changes everything. This was a fast read with lots packed in, but not to the point it felt rushed. I will be checking out more of Jasmin Miller’s work.

    As far as the usual contemporary romance goes, this one was okay. It started well - I loved Carter, particularly as a character, and the romance had a lot of good sexual tension to drive the beginning of the story forward.

    But it wasn't perfect. As the story wore on, the character's decisions and actions started to make less sense, and things got more dramatic. I rolled my eyes when the whole hospital sequence came along - not only is that not how hospitals work, but that's not how pregnancy works. The events weren't accurate at all, and it was harder to suspend my disbelief and continue to enjoy the story.

    Overall, the story was decent, and if you need a quick romantic read to waste an afternoon, then this one is as good as many others, but the story takes a hit in the latter half, and it didn't end up being a great book.

    I absolutely loved this book! This is the first book I've read by this author, definitely not the last! This is the best brother’s best friend romance book that I have read in such a long time!! Julia has been dumped by her boyfriend and goes home to visit her brother, Oliver. Oliver's best friend, Carter, opens the door instead of her brother. I loved these characters, their banter, their interactions, the pull between them, and their chemistry. The story is beautifully written, with lots of emotion, sweet moments and heat....I loved it from start to finish. Thank you Jasmin for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

    The story of Julia and Carter is fun and flirty. The underlying story is good and strong. The characters are well developed, interesting and realistic. I like that we follow Julia as she learns who she is and how she intends to live her life. I love the chemistry and banter and humor in this story and I love that both Carter, who deserves to be a hero, and Ollie are protective of Julia just from obviously different perspectives.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I picked up this book not knowing anything about it. I'm so glad I did because it is so cute. I loved the relationship that Carter and Julia had with each other. It was playful and flirty. They grew up as best friends, but also his the crushes that they had for one another. I trip to Vegas helped them explore their feelings. Julia was goofy and insecure. Carter was the confident bachelor afraid of commitment. They couldn't deny the strong pull for each other so they went in at full speed and came out winning. Loved this friends to lovers/brother's best friend book!!!!

    I enjoyed this read. There wasn’t a lot of angst and drama, I appreciate that. Carter was a likable character; very sweet and attentive. I like how rational he was with his feelings.

    Julia was interesting, mostly likable tho a little off the wall with her thinking sometimes.

    One thing I didn’t like was no real backstory with their business’. Just they have them and they’re very successful. (Yay lol.)
    Also, she lost me with the “drama” towards the end. I don’t feel it was a realistic way of adding strife nor was it necessary. It made me turn my nose up a bit.

    Anyway. Over all, a very enjoyable read.

    I absolutely loved this book, from the very first page I was completely hooked and could barely put it down. The love between Julia and Carter was evident the moment they both opened their mouths, from the very first hug to when they first kissed. I was absolutely enamoured with their story...the angst, the banter, the slow burn and the steam of their love story was utterly divine and mesmerising. This sweet romance deserves every star! And that cover! Omg! Absolutely perfect!
    Such a great read!!
