Publisher Description
Lines are crossed and promises broken when a forbidden kiss ignites an irresistible attraction in this sizzling brother’s best friend romance…
“Promise me you’ll always look out for Andie.”
By the time I was seventeen, I knew my best friend’s younger sister was the only girl I’d ever love.
We’re all grown up now, but my feelings for Andie haven’t changed. She’s the smartest woman I know and the only one who sees through the carefree act I hide behind. She deserves better than a screw-up like me—failed musician, part-time handyman, and full-time black sheep of my family.
I’ll do anything to protect her, so I keep my distance and my hands to myself.
When the tumble-down house she inherited needs repairs, I jump on my white horse and swoop in to help her with the renovations. Even though it means spending dangerous amounts of time together.
I’ve got it under control until the night a surprise kiss changes everything between us.
One scorching-hot taste of her is all it takes to shatter my defenses. Now that I know how much she wants me, I’m addicted to our secret glances and stolen touches.
Around our friends and family, we pretend we’re still just friends.
But when we’re alone? We can’t keep our hands off each other.
This game we’re playing is bound to blow up in our faces, just like everything else I touch. If I can’t prove I’m worthy of Andie’s love, I’m going to lose my two best friends in the world.
MY CONE AND ONLY is a swoony, feel-good friends to lovers romance featuring a STEM heroine who takes no crap, a surprisingly loyal bad-boy rocker who’s head over heels for the one woman he thinks he can’t have, lots of small-town shenanigans, and an epic grovel.
It stands alone with a guaranteed HEA and kicks off the six-book KING FAMILY series. Your heart will melt for this band of unruly siblings behind a Texas ice cream empire as they stumble on the rocky road to love while dealing with their big, messy family.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nix (Elementary Romantic Calculus) launches her King Family series with a love story just as tempting, decadent, and sweet as the ice cream sold by the title family's nationwide brand. Charming, flirty Wyatt King wants nothing to do with his family's ice cream empire. Instead, he works as an occasional handyman around Crowder, Tex., setting his own hours and playing in a cover band. His handyman skills come in handy when his best friend's younger sister, biologist Andie Lockhart, is threatened by her homeowners' association, who hope to facilitate a shady real estate deal involving her run-down property. Luckily, Wyatt's on hand to fix things up until the HOA has nothing left to complain about. The arrangement has the pair spending a lot of time together, which is both a blessing and a curse for Wyatt, who's secretly loved Andie since he was a teenager but has always avoided her out of misplaced loyalty to her brother. But Andie and Wyatt's mutual mooning was noticed long ago by family and friends, putting their forbidden attraction on thin ice. Andie and Wyatt sizzle with chemistry, and Wyatt's many brothers and sisters, all of whom deserve love matches of their own, spell good things for the series to come. This is a treat.

Customer Reviews
Don’t like keeping secrets but well written story
I was really enjoying this read but came to a complete stop when hero wanted to keep secret that he was seeing sister of best friend. Best friend had made hero promised to never date his sister cause hero was a womanizer. If he was that crazy about her, he should have risked everything & it was wrong to ask her to keep it a secret. I did finally finished the book and even laughed some. It is well written but I’ve discovered I don’t like the keeping relationship genre. If you don’t have a problem with that then this is a good read. I do plan to finish series so glad I read so I will have all the details needed going into reading the next book.
Years of hidden love
Andi is the ultimate girl next door. She’s the best friend’s little sister who just kinda fit in. She’s the one that Wyatt swore he would protect at all costs and never hurt. She’s the one he swore to her brother, Josh, that he would never make a move on. But deep down, she was the only one he wanted to keep forever.
Wyatt was the brother’s best friend who treated Andi like she was precious & always protected her. He was the best dance partner and the only one she trusted fully to protect her for those advanced dance moves. He was the off-limits town bad boy that all the other girls wanted desperately. But so did Andi, she just couldn’t let anyone know.
When Andi needed a little extra help with some odd jobs to get her HOA off her back, she turned to Wyatt. As these two spent more time together, their electric energy as friends ignited into more. They could no longer hide their true feelings for each other, & when they gave in…these two were explosive. Andi was very obviously the girl Wyatt had always held out for. But…could he convince her brother that he could change for her? That he could be the man Andi always needed to love her & protect her?
I loved them chemistry between the characters & the overall energy of this book.
Audio review:
Chris Brinkley & Amanda Stribling did an awesome job with narration. The southern charm oozed out of both of them & was done well. I loved the southern words & phrases used throughout this book.
