One kiss can change your life...

Allison Hall is fed up with being a social outcast. Even at the tech company where she works for her brother and his best friend, Jared, she's the invisible nerdy girl. What she needs is confidence—and that requires a makeover and dating tips. And she knows just the man to help…

Jared Esterly is shocked when Allison asks for his assistance and turns her down, knowing that her brother—his business partner and best friend, Nick—would kill him if he dated her, even if it is just for practice. But when Al’s attempt to make changes on her own fails spectacularly, Jared reluctantly steps in. Things heat up quickly, and soon lessons move from the salon to the bedroom.

When overprotective big-brother Nick discovers Jared is dating Allison, their friendship and business partnership sour. Allison, consumed by guilt, must make a choice: stay with Jared, even though that means ruining his friendship with Nick and possibly his career, or leave the one man who sets her on fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & Flirty Read!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016
Allison Hall is desperate to shake her social outcast status, and decides that a makeover is in order to win herself a man. She has no idea where to begin, but knows the perfect person to help her accomplish her mission... her brother's handsome best friend Jared. Jared is good with the ladies, and knows exactly what men like, so Allison figures he can help her out, but Jared has his reservations and ultimately turns her down. So, she turns to her friend Colleen and asks her to help her out, but when that backfires, Jared's eyes are finally opened to just how serious Allison is about fitting in, so he finally gives in and offers to point her in the right direction...never expecting it to help him out a little too!

Jared Esterly receives the shock of his life when his best friend's little sister propositions him and tries to get him to help teach her the ways on landing a man. He knows her brother would kill him if he found out he was "dating" his sister just for the sake of teaching her how to be more alluring to the opposite sex, so he turns her down hoping she will forget the whole idea. But he soon learns that she is serious about changing her appearance and finding love, and will do it with or without his help, so against his better judgement he offers to help out. He figures its safer for him to help her out, then for her to go at it alone, but he ends up getting a lot more than he bargains for... and it puts everything in his personal life at risk, and leaves him trying to decide what is more important to him..love or friendship?

This is my second visit to this series, and I have to say this trip was just as enjoyable as the first, Ms. Warner has once again created quite a little literary gem here, and I truly enjoyed every minute I spent reading it! Allison and Jared's story was packed with emotion, heart, humor, and romance, and made for one truly exceptional friends to lovers story!! Allison's quirky personality totally won me over from the start and had me cheering her on the whole way through her journey to find love and happiness!

Highly recommend this one, it is sure to warm your heart, and reaffirm your belief that true love does exist...no matter how unconventional your journey to finding it happens to be!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016
I dived into this book after being intrigued by the blurb and I am extremely glad I did, as it brightened up my very snowy weekend, more than I expected.
So the story is about a former playboy and his best friends little sister whom has labeled herself the queen of the nerds. Allison Hall is tired of being overlooked and blending in with the wallpaper, so finally gets up the courage to ask her brother for help, when Nate turns her down, she goes to his best friend Jared…but then he turns her request for help down too. But that doesn't stop Allison, but after a disastrous attempt of self-help which lead to her humiliation, Jared stepped in and saved the day…but he opened a huge can of worms for himself.
Jared Esterly had been an honorary member the Hall family since becoming best friends with Nate Hall and had always looked upon Allison as a little sister that is until he helps her with her mission. Now she is out of her baggy, shapeless clothes he can't get the vision of her soft curves out of his head.
Their harmless flirtation turns into something more...that is until her brother finds out and causes them to separate…is this the end for Allison and Jared?
I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is literally everything I am looking for in a contemporary romance, It sparked emotions and reactions in me that I haven't felt in a while when it came to contemporary romance. It made me laugh, cry, get angry and fall in love in the space of an evening. Allison's character was so relatable and your heart bleeds for her when she was the mercy of the office gossips. I fell in love with Jared's character for being the really the most perfect reformed playboy and I even sympathized with Nate and his feels on his best friend and sister getting involved.
This book had everything I want in a contemporary romance, which is why I gave Friendly Flirtation 5 stars and it also gave me a great love for penguins.
