I am absolutely loving this series so much so I don't want it to end. In Friendship On Fire we get to know more about Josh who so far in the series has been mentioned a few times but nothing more as well as Riley. They both grew up in the same town but due to the rival between the Braden's and the Johnson's they could not do anything but have a crush that was almost forbidden. As they grew up and flew the nest Josh went on to be a fashion designer and owns JB Designs after speaking to Riley when he was in his hometown and a bit of pushing from Rex and Jade he takes a look her portfolio and is very impressed, so much so that he hires her at his company as he sees huge potential for Riley she just needs the break.
When Riley arrives at her new job she is given a mentor who turns out to be a nasty, sneaky and sly woman who will do whatever it takes to make her break, even sleeping her way to the top. While she is plotting her way of making her break, Josh and Riley realise that they are attracted to each other and have been for many years. Riley wants to keep their relationship quite for a while so it doesn't look like she is sleeping her way to the top and that she is doing it purely through her own merits.
Disaster strikes when Riley is accused of stealing her mentors designs and Josh although trying to clear Riley's name is starting to have doubts, will their relationship be able to stand the strain?
Again I was completely hooked, the love between Josh and Riley is hot and emotional and the book is a huge rollercoaster of emotions which I found myself sharing the emotions I had a few cross words with my Kindle and my husband thought I was loopy.
Melissa wrote yet another fantastic addition to the Braden's Series and I am looking forward to the next book.
