The chemistry between Griffin and Anya is off the charts. One problem... She's his best friend's little sister and he promised not to touch her. Well... promises are meant to be broken, especially when the chemistry is this good.

Everything I love about a brother’s best friend storyline all in one book! I love the tension, the history, the promise between Griffin and Callum, and just every little detail about this story!
Anya is so full of life, and really knows how to deal with all of her brothers, which makes her so much fun as she is constantly working with or hanging out with one of them. Adding in Griffin as they both realize their feelings, and try to figure out how the other one feels, the beginning of this story is filled with the perfect amount of tension and wanting.
Griffin doesn’t handle the secret of their relationship well, and the way it comes out is explosive, especially when Callum realizes, but man that is why I love a brother’s best friend romance. The family drama is always so much fun and this book was no different! I can’t wait to continue reading the other brother’s books!

Logan Chance has outdone himself with the latest addition to the Magnolia Ridge Series. His storytelling prowess continues to captivate.
From the outset, Griffin and Anaya's story had me completely charmed. I found myself both laughing and tearing up—a testament to Logan's narrative skill.
Anaya and Griffin's tale is a compelling sequel to Paxton and Hartford's narrative. While I adored the series opener, this book introduces a darker twist. The trope of forbidden romance, particularly the 'Brother's Best Friend' kind, is a personal favorite, and this series masterfully taps into that theme.
Griffin's longstanding affection for Anaya, which began four years before the events of the book, adds a unique depth to their relationship. It's refreshing to see the male protagonist in a state of vulnerability and yearning. His reluctance and the necessity for their love to remain clandestine only add to the complexity of his character.
Both Anaya and Griffin quickly became characters for whom I was cheering. Their journey is engaging, simmering with tension, rich in emotion, and profoundly stirring.

Really loved the first book in this series...but this one has some darker elements. Think Griffin is my favourite character in these books...he is just lovely (and unbelievably hot) and he and Anya work so well together. Can't wait for the next book-and to see if Callum will also have his HEA.

Griffin and Anya are so cute. The chemistry and the teamwork these two display is simply beautiful. It was a fun ride getting these two together and I love when all the characters come out to play so we can guess who will be with who, but I can not wait to see Callum find his match. In the mean time it was lovely reading Griffin and Anya's love story play out so beautifully.

OH.MY.GOODNESS! This is hands down my favorite Logan Chance read to date!!!
What I loved about the book:
1. I’m a huge sucker for best friends to lovers romances, especially if they met when they were kids. The connection feels more genuine, the chemistry is usually sizzling, and the characters feel free to 100% be themselves instead of hide things (except their feelings of course!). This book was no exception to what I love about the trope. Their chemistry was beyond good and I legitimately loved this couple!
2. It was hilarious. I won’t give any specifics away, but as Hartford and Paxton delve into the world of BDSM together, there are many MANY mishaps and complications. Along with this, their interactions together and how realistic they were as people were humorous to read as well. I laughed so hard reading this story that I had tears on my face.
3. It was sexy, sexy, sexy! I would expect nothing less from a Logan Chance book.
I love my men dominating and possessive in the bedroom, and Paxton was no slouch. I also loved how they were exploring a lot of things for the first time together. This was not the story of a super experienced man teaching an innocent, inexperienced woman about sex. This was exploration and trial and error (sometimes more error than not!), and I loved that so very much!
Above all, I appreciated how much of the book stressed BDSM needs a foundation of trust in order to work. SO TRUE and so often overlooked in stories in favor of just getting to the good stuff.
4. I loved both of the MCs, as well as many of the side characters.
I liked that Hartford wasn’t vapid or virginal, but rather realistically intelligent and experienced for an adult woman. I also LOVED how she shut down the “you’re not like the other girls” talk several times. Instant QUEEN status for that!
Paxton’s dirty mouth coupled with him only having eyes for Hartford was delicious and swoony. Add to this how supportive of her he was, his genuine rooting for her, and him being there for her at all times, showing that he would truly do ANYTHING for her, he was a total book boyfriend.
I want other Atwood family member books, a Millie book, a Nora and Robert book. I want ALL THE BOOKS!!! No pressure, Logan

I really enjoyed this book! Once I started to read it, I didn’t want to put it down. The main characters were wonderful and I love how they developed throughout the book. The author uses a dual POV which helps to explore the thoughts of each character while Hartford was “doing research” for her BDSM assignment. Some of the parts in the book made me laugh out loud. I also enjoyed how the author incorporated text messages and the notes taken by Hartford in the book. If you like a good best friends to lovers trope then this is for you!
