Publisher's summary

Left without a job and evicted from the house she so carefully turned into a home, Aria is offered two choices: move back in with her brother . . . or take the job her brother's best friend offers her.

Their lives weren't meant to collide—but everything changes when Grayson realizes that Aria is the mysterious woman behind a wildly popular vigilante platform.

She's the woman he's been falling for online, the one whose coding skills outdo his, the one he's been trying to track down.

It's her. And she's off-limits.

Contains mature themes.

White Tulips!!

This is a really compelling story. I love how these 3 bounded as a unit..they luckily made each other better individuals who helped keep their demons away!! But, the white tulips were the sign.

• Thoughts:
This novel was engaging from the get-go. I was completely captured by the story line of the main characters. I love the connection that both the FMC and the MMC have towards one another. The vulnerable side of the FMC is relatable and heartbreaking with how people treat her. I found myself in the books several times clutching my chest and wanting to cry for her, but no matter what, Gray was their for her, always. This book was extremely touching. I definitely recommend and plan to read more from this author.

Narration: Teddy and CJ narrated, and they were epic!

Great

Amazing!!! This book was so unexpected but loved loved it and the spice perfect and the humor it was amazing

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Brother's best friend- say no more!

I loved reading this story of Aria and Grayson so much. It was such unique way of writing a secret pen pals story- and then throw in that it was brother's best friend. I mean it was absolute GOLD the way that he cared for and loved her. There were so many things that they had to overcome, but after fighting for each other, and trying to encourage each other they were able to find a healthier balance. I was not expecting the plot twist at all. it had me on edge, and it made me love Noah and his relationship with Aria. thank goodness for the character growth of both of them. I cannot wait to read about Noah's story!

This was such a feel-good story to listen to. Catharina always writes the most swoon-worthy men, she never disappoints. The audio for this one was just perfect.

Until You

Brother’s best friend… You know I am all in. This year I have been trying to read more new to me authors so when I got this one I wanted to read it right away. Aria and Gray’s story kept me hooked. The Nyx and Ash part of the story was so good. I can’t wait to get my hands on more books by Catharine Maura.

More than I was expecting

At first, this book seemed like a best friend’s little sister trope, but there’s actually a lot more going on between Aria and Grayson.
When Aria finds herself out of work, Grayson make her an offer she can’t refuse. Move across the country to work for his software engineering firm, and as a bonus stay with him until she gets on her feet. Accepting her dream job is a no brainer but living with the man she’s had a crush on for years…that may cause some problems, especially when Grayson admits his true feelings for her.

highly recommend

it was an amazing book with amazing narration. can't recommend this book enough to all

The scary way I'm taken aback by the way you never know what characters might do or say.

I love a happy ending and you never fail to deliver; no matter how many turns we are taken to get there.
