This was an ultra short one. The hero and heroine have been carrying torches for each other for a while but are reluctant to admit how they feel because the hero is the heroine's brother's best friend (mouthful right?) and they are both afraid of jeopardizing that friendship. Anyway, they finally admit how they feel when they are on a group vacation. What follows is some sweetness, some steamy sex scenes and a HEA.

If you're looking for something nice to read for an hour tops, then pick this up.

short and fast paced read.

Meredith has always had a thing for Cameron but he is her brothers best friend.
But after overhearing him one night she decides she needs to go for it and see if he wants her as much as she wants him.

i love a good 'brother's best friend' romance. i also love the whole unrequited loved you since childhood and even better when they both think their love is unrequited. swoon. this one was super short and sexy, totally adorable. it certainly starts with a bang. don't *love* how it started with the OW but it didn't bother me too much. there's a line that says something like if it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here and i dig that. honestly, this was so short, by the time you have any strong feelings about it, it was over! i knew it was originally a part of an anthology and i knew it was short, so it wasn't a shock. this was my first book by this author but won't be my last.

Another glorious story from Miss Lynn. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and cant wait for another.

Miss Lynn's books never disappoint and are always so steamy - just the way a good romance should be.

Meredith has known Cameron for years. He is her brother’s best friend. While vacationing, she is out on her balcony and hears a couple having sex. At the end she finds out it was Cameron and is devastated. The next day she is down and her brother sends Cameron to check on her. He doesn’t know that she heard and can’t figure out what’s wrong with her. He has wanted her for years but the whole best friends little sister stopped him. Now she’s coming on to him and he doesn’t know what’s gotten into her. The attraction is so strong they can’t keep their hands off each other. Cameron is afraid to lose his best friend but it all works out in the end..
Short story about friends turning into lovers. Sex and the beach.

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for Netgalley *

Well this was way shorter than I anticipated, but otherwise was a steamy sexy little story. I liked the characters, and unlike other reviewers I didn’t have any issue with him sleeping with someone else the night before. I just wanted a more in depth story. Otherwise this a fun and easy read.

Really really short. For me this definitely belonged in a compilation or anthology. The story was nothing new, and let's be honest here, the focus was the sex, not the plot or characters. If all you're looking for is a quick cheap thrill than this is it. Otherwise don't bother.

Shameless by Cherrie Lynn a four-star read that will make you blush. This was my first read by this author and it won’t be my last as I loved the talent of the writing, the only reason I didn’t give it five-stars was although the story was good, it lacked something there was a missing piece but overall very sweet and hot. Meredith was a great girl, you could imagine sitting there on a balcony as her heart is racing and then broken, having an older brother wit hot friends I have been in the situation Meri finds herself in, not to the extreme thank goodness but I could feel her pain. Cameron is a naughty boy, but he just worries he will lose everything if he goes for what he wants, his best friend and the people who are like his family. The pain and worry they face is palpable as you read. They will make you care and make you want to read on and find out what will happen in the end.

I’m so glad this book was released separately, as I missed it when it was originally published in an anthology. For a short novella this story had a lot going for it!

Who hasn’t been that little sister falling for her older brother's best friend at some time in their life? Well I know I did, and I just love this type of story. Shameless is hot, sexy and packs one hell of a punch. It’s a quick steamy read that will definitely set your eReader on fire! But it will also tug at the heartstrings, melt your panties right off, and leave you with a satisfied sigh when the last page is turned.

ARC received for review

This was originally released as part of an anthology, and is now making it's solo debut.

It was short, sweet, and smoking. Meredith got tired of waiting for her brothers BF to make a move and kissed him. He briefly resisted, and then quickly gave in.

"Hell, it seemed the hottest sex she'd ever had was someone else's."

I've been a big fan of Cherrie Lynn for years. So, I grabbed this treasure without even reading the synopsis, greedy for anything she'd written. What can I say, it's short, sweet, and oh-so-sexy.

I just love a friends-to-lovers forbidden romance, don't you? Cameron has had the hots for his best friend's little sis for years, but he just did his best to hide it and work out his lust elsewhere. Never in his worst nightmares did he ever imagine that she would overhead said lust while it was happening. But, she was awfully cranky the next day for no reason. Did she hear them? He was drunk so he didn't think about her insomnia keeping her awake. What if she was outside on the balcony too?

As you know if you read the blurb, she was out on that balcony and she heard every moan and groan, but it was his name screamed in ecstasy that revealed his identity. The voyeuristic experience that she'd shamelessly enjoyed up until that instant put her in another frame of mind altogether. If she wanted what he was giving that faceless woman, she'd have to stop hiding how she felt about him.

I enjoyed every single second of this delicious story. It left me sighing and smiling and ready for more of whatever the author decides to dish out next. The line forms here...

This novella was originally published in the Some Like It Hot anthology a few years ago, and I don't know how I missed it, as I usually devour everything Ms Lynn writes at time of release.

This story starts with a bang and gets hotter and cuter and sweeter with every page.

I am a fan of the "brother's best friend is off limits" story, and Ms Lynn has given us it all in such a short story. Starts with steam, gives us emotions, and sends us on our merry way with a HEA that left me smiling.

Shameless is just what I needed after reading a string of crime books.

If you have a spare hour or so and what a hot, sexy read, give Shameless a go.

Meredith Taylor has been harboring a serious crush on her brother's best friend for years now, but there has never really been a good time to act on it, not to mention the fact that she isn't so sure he feels the same way. But now that their both on a little getaway vacation, both unattached, away from everyday distractions, she's decided it's time to make her move... and hopefully she wind up with everything she has ever wanted in the end! That is unless her brother try to put a stop to it before it's underway...

A long time ago Cam Moore agreed to keep his hands to himself when it came to his best friends little sister Meredith, but he must admit it has been a lot harder than he ever thought, no matter how much he tries to distract himself when she is around, his eyes always seem to be drawn to her. She is beautiful, smart, and everything he has ever wanted, but acting on his feelings could lead to the end of his friendship with her brother..

Within the pages of Shameless you will discover a steamy little literary romp that is certain to singe your fingertips and melt your heart! This forbidden romance tale captivated my attention from the very first page, and held it tightly until the last; once I got started, I just could not put it down! This fast paced, steamy read is sure to have readers swooning the whole way through, highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Best friend's little sister alert! Also, Cherrie Lynn's trademark steam levels.

Cute, quick, steamy story about two people who have been having pants feelings about each other but never acting on them until one night, Meri overhears Cam having sex on the hotel balcony above hers. As you do. Instead of breaking her lovelorn heart, the sexy audio turns her on and Meri finally decides to act on her feelings for Cam.

Turns out Cam has long fought his attraction to Meri because of his tight friendship with her older brother, Dane. So what's a guy to do but indulge in one-night stands with women that look like Meri? As you do.

This was a fun, hot story about two people finally giving in to their intense sexual chemistry. But I had a hard time forgetting that Cam was literally with another woman just hours before he is with Meri. To his credit, Cam is embarrassed by it but Meri just blows it off. As you do?

But as a big fan of Cherrie Lynn's Ross siblings, I am here for the building sexual tension and sultry sex scenes. I hope this means the author is coming out with more soon.

A quick, fun and easy read that is perfect for the beach! Meredith is on vacation with her brother, his girlfriend, her best friend and her brothers long time best friend Cameron, the man she's been crushing on since she was 8. They head to the beach and rent a condo there.
Meri has insomnia and is awake at 2 am so grabs a beer and parks herself on the balcony. She starts to overhear a couple in the middle of some pretty steamy sex and Meri decides to listen.... fully. She hears both the man and woman and isn't until the end she gets the surprise and heartbreak of her life.
It's Cameron. When she tells her bestie the next morning, the best friend says she should just put herself out there with Cameron and be honest. They're adults now, not teenagers. She's concerned he's going to blow her off and treat her like a kid sister. Not so good for the ego. Or worse, maybe he's got someone else. Cameron can't get Meredith off his mind, blinding drunk last night he brings some girl home and not even realizing she's still there the next morning. It's noon. Meri has always gotten everyone up long before then and planned the day. He's hungover on top of it. Grateful his best friend and girlfriend aren't there, he shags his one nighter out the door only to have her run into them coming in. He's not happy. He's got a thing for Meri and has for a long time, but how will that effect his relationship with her brother? He's never been willing to risk it. Meri always tries to ignore him, her way of dealing with the attraction she feels. When she tells him how she feels and wants him to take her out on a date, he agrees. Telling her brother they're going to hang out. By the end of the night he knows how she feels. He's not quite as forthcoming, but he's getting there. How the rest of the story unfolds is great and these two have real chemistry. Jumping in the water to cool off sounded like a great idea after reading that. I really like this, it's a happy read, low angst and no drama. My kind of read. Loved Meri and Cameron.
*arc from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review*

wow!!
This is a fairly short read, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in steam and passion.
How everything can change in one weekend! hot, raw and sexy.
Well worth reading .

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Shameless is a full story in a small and fulfilling package. With an equal balance between sexiness and plot, there is plenty to pull you into their dynamic—he the brother’s best friend and she the off-limits friend’s little sister—and involve you in the implosion of their feelings and the turning point of their decades-long friendship. It was a wonderful short story that had great sexual appeal and enough depth to the main characters for readers to really feel and grasp their connection. And because it’s Cherrie Lynn, I’ll always wish for more of her written word and, if anything, I could’ve read another two-hundred pages of this story and been just as blissfully entranced—if not more so.

This is a quick brother’s best friend book that is packed full of steamy connections. Is Cam willing to risk his relationship of his lifelong best friend for something he has wanted with Meri for a long, long time? What finally pushed Meri to let Cam know how she really feels and is she willing to take a chance on rejection?

It’s a vacation Meredith Taylor will never forget. A sunny beach, good friends and good times. But when she overhears a couple having a passionate interlude on the balcony above her one night, she can’t get the man’s sultry voice out of her mind. Especially when she figures out exactly who that man is.Cameron Moore always had an eye on his best friend’s little sister but considered her strictly off limits, choosing to satisfy his lust elsewhere. Now Meri seems to want to annihilate every wall Cam’s put up against her. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Cherrie Lynn is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
