Over the Top Love
Star rating: ★★★☆☆
Blurb
Working for a sex toy company after failing to make it in the art world, Jessie Foley knows a di—er, phallus—when she sees one. And her brother’s best friend—the reason she can’t paint—is definitely a phallus. She’d rather drink bad eggnog than stay under the same roof as the annoyingly hot celebrity for the holidays, but patching up her relationship with her brother means making nice with his friend.
Nic Fontana’s shirtless smolder rocketed him to the top of a massive superhero franchise even though he can’t act. Reeling from a recent divorce, unhappy in Hollywood, and facing a challenging script and a new director, he needs the support of the closest thing he has to a family now more than ever. What he doesn’t need is a dangerous attraction to his harshest critic, Jessie.
When a pair of mistletoe underwear spark a sexy encounter and the start of a secret holiday fling, Nic and Jessie are forced to come to terms with their complicated past and deeply-buried feelings. But when the holidays end, they’ll have to risk it all to find out if what they have is more than just vibes.
HOLIDAY VIBES is the second book in the Over the Top Love series. This enemies-with-benefits, brother’s best friend romance features a grumpy hero and a snarky, unlikable heroine finding their Happily Ever After. It can be read as a standalone. It also contains explicit sex scenes and strong language. Content notes can be found on the author’s website.

My Thoughts:
I picked this book because I was intrigued by the idea of a heroine who works at a sex toy company. I love sex positive heroines and I enjoy a good celebrity romance.
This book had some really fun moments and good characters. I liked Jessie's family even though they were a bit chaotic. However, I got a bit tired of the jokes about Jessie's career. I wish the story had focused a bit more on her job celebrating women's pleasure and a little less on how many dick jokes could be made.
I was also a little confused about Jessie and Nic. It felt like this book was trying to do enemies to lover and I loved you all along and it didn't completely work for me.
This one may be for you if you love brother's best friend and want something fun!
