You met Josh and Riley in Destined for Love (The Bradens, Book Two). Follow these two young lovers to New York and see what fate has in store for them. FRIENDSHIP ON FIRE is a steamy contemporary romance with alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and very relatable for readers who enjoy adult romance, contemporary romance, and women's fiction. Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break—working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and—just maybe—explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when. Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered. Josh and Riley’s friendship heats up. Every steamy kiss, and every erotic caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley's mentor accuses her of stealing the design. Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry—and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.

0I keep waiting for this series to disappoint me, and so far they haven't. Each story is the same in some ways, as all chick lit romance seems to have a formula. But when I read these books I want to know there will be a happy ending, so that's okay with me.
As well as having similarities, they are also different enough that they do not get confused in my mind. I think that certainly says something about the writing of Ms. Foster.
Yes, I got pissed at Josh quite a few times. But if I were in his shoes would my mind have thought the same thoughts? Probably. Why is it that I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and be okay with characters finding insta-love, but when they try to think rationally I have a problem?
As much as Josh upset me, I found him to also be the most thoughtful of the brothers in the way he remembers so many details about Riley and the things she has mentioned, even if just in passing.
I can't wait to find out more about Dane next!
