I have been patiently waiting for the next couple in this series and it was so worth the wait! Keeley, Gio and Rafe journey was a brothers best friend that heats up when they finally takes the next step to be together. Although Gio and Rafe has had a history together with having relationships with one woman, Keeley is different with all the emotions that she brings to life in them. But can they find their HEA when one of guys feet is already out of the door? One click to find out in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint with a steamy storyline and swoon worthy characters that will have you cheering for the HEA.

So hot! And as always, Mari Carr hits hard with those emotions! Rough and Ready is the third in her incredible Italian Stallions series, and is a seriously sexy older brother’s best friends, friends to lovers ménage. Each story in the series is full of the sheer physical and emotional joy of falling in love, and Rough and Ready is no exception. Rafe and Gio have been best friends since childhood, and Keeley’s older brother Kayden is another of their closest friends. What starts out as them keeping a friendly eye on Keeley on a string of bad first dates morphs into a revelation of deeper feelings on all their parts. Mari Carr’s characters are real and so well written, and each story is brimming over with not only the passion of the new relationship but also with the warm sense of friendship and community that encompasses their lives. Not to be missed!

Brother's best friend...times two! That's what Keeley gets when she starts working for one of her brother Kayden's best friends. And he idea to turn his newly inherited, run-down mansion brings the other bff, Gio into the mix as well. While both men have always seen her as just Kayden's baby sister, sparks fly when they are all in close proximity. Which is now constantly. While other friends and family members are living threesome relationships, there's a lot at stake for Keeley and the guys, especially since Gio can see them lasting forever and Rafe is closed off to anything other than a fling. Keeley can see herself falling for them both, but what happens if Rafe walks away instead. I loved everything about this story. From the differences in Gio and Rafe's personalities to their caring of each other's feelings as well as Keeley's. Each character brings something different to the relationship, with an added surprise of a different side of Rafe that even Gio has never seen before. And the added fun of possible ghosts haunting the old house was a fun twist as well. Although this is part of a The Italian Stallion series, it can be read alone. But readers like me who have been around since book one, we get to see characters from the previous books pop by for a visit. And what's always a plus. Mari Carr is one of my must read, favorite authors for a reason...and she proves it again with this book.
