Falling for Trouble by Carly Phillips - ARC Review

Brother’s Best Friend • Forbidden Romance • Billionaire Protector • Miami Heat • A Dare Family Series Story

He’s the bad boy my family warned me about—and the one man I can’t have.

I just landed the job of my dreams—planning the Miami Thunder football team’s anniversary celebration—and I can’t afford distractions. Especially not tattooed billionaire and reformed troublemaker Lucas Carras. He exudes alpha-hero intensity, but he’s been off limits for as long as I’ve known him.

But the kickoff party is happening at the nightclub he co-owns with my brother… and with my sibling out of town, I’m stuck working with Lucas.

Forced proximity ignites the desire we’ve both been pretending doesn’t exist. From bedrooms to storage rooms, the scorching tension causes us to cross every line we swore we wouldn’t. On paper, we’re complete opposites. In reality, the chemistry is undeniable.

This party is everything I’ve worked for—my moment to prove myself. Until the sabotage starts.

Orders vanish. Vendors back out. Someone is determined to ruin the anniversary… and my reputation along with it.

Suddenly Lucas isn’t just a distraction. He’s my protector, my anchor, and the only man I trust to stand by my side.

But when my brother finds out about us, family drama explodes. And I’m torn between being the good girl who plays by the rules... and falling for trouble.

Perfect for fans of Carly Phillips and high-heat sports romance, Falling for Trouble features a possessive hero, high-stakes suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.

Why are heroes who own nightclubs so hot? I am sure it's not just me as there are tons of titles with this setup, but I enjoy it and I was all in on this story. I enjoy this author, I like the trope, and well, I always enjoy titles in this series (or spinoff series).

Rainey and Lucas are perfect for one another, even though it takes a bit for them to decide they are more than just a fling no one can know about as he is also her brother's best friend. I did think the sabotage of the event angle was a little unnecessary, as I thought there was enough to the story without adding in the drama of something going wrong with the event, but it wasn't a big enough subplot to totally derail their story.

I was behind them as a couple, and I liked both of them as people, so it was easy to invest in this story.
