Archer has always wanted what he can’t have—Quinn Dawson. Since the moment he saw her, he’s been denying his feelings for her, ignoring the void in his heart he knows only she can fill.

Everything about them was wrong, the kind of wrong that felt so right. But none of it mattered. Not the terrible timing. And definitely not the mess it would create if Archer made a move on his best friend’s baby sister.

It was supposed to be one night, but one night is all it takes to make everything more complicated, and they only have nine short months to sort it all out.

No, none of it mattered. Until it did.

REVIEW

Quinn and Archer will absolutely steal your heart with their angst filled and forbidden romance.

Archer has been Quinn's brother, Dean, best friend since they were in college roommates, has known Quinn ever since, and has been interested in her all that time. But not wanting to ruin his friendship with Dean and the family-like relationship he has with the rest of the family, and also due to the fact that Quinn is younger, he never acted on his feelings. Neither did Quinn for the very same reasons.

There’s nothing more I’d rather do than spend more time with Quinn. But if I’m alone with her, I’m going to spill my guts and admit that I’ve wanted her for years. That I’ve watched from the sidelines, fighting off jealousy when she’d have a new boyfriend and how I never thought anyone was good enough for her. That she’s made me want to be a better person without even trying because being around her showed me what it’s like to be a good fucking person. Or worse, and I’ll skip all the words that’ll get knotted up in my chest and try to kiss her.

Now, with Dean's upcoming wedding and the engagement party they are forced together and they can't deny the chemical attraction they share. They try to fight it but their feelings are undeniable and it was only a matter of time until they broke.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” I snap. “Nothing,” he retorts, whirling around. “What the hell is wrong with you?” “Seriously?” I ask. “Yeah.” He inhales deeply, and I’m not sure if he’s going to tell me off or push me up against a wall and kiss me. “It’s like you’re a rescue dog and I don’t know if you’re going to let me pet you or if you’re going to bite. At least I can understand the dog’s unpredictable behavior, but you…I haven’t got a clue with you and you are driving me nuts.” “You want to pet me?” “Yes. No. Kind of. It’s a figure of speech.” I throw my hands up.

Quinn and Archer had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I completely fell for these two and I just wanted more more more. That cliff-hanger had me dropping my jaw. I'm dying to find out what happens next. I need to know!

“I would very much like to sleep in your bed next to you,” I tell her, gathering her hair to the side of her neck. With each passing second she doesn’t relax, I feel like I’m losing her. “I want to wake up next to you,” I say softly, letting the honesty she likes so much come out.

Cheat Codes was truly a book that had it all, the fun, the sweetness, the fire and the angst, oh lord, the angst... This book had it all and more and it seriously couldn't have been more amazing. I have only read one other Emily Goodwin book but I'm finding out that each book is more amazing than the last, so I need End Game like now! And I seriously cannot wait to read more of her books.

Rate: 5/5 stars
