Friends Without Benefits

This smart contemporary romance series follows a group of seven friends in Chicago, whose relationships blossomed thanks to Knit Night. In this installment, pediatric doctor Elizabeth crosses paths with her childhood nemesis Nico when he brings his niece to Elizabeth’s hospital to enroll in a cystic fibrosis study. She is not pleased to see him, to say the least. It takes being forced to return to their hometown for a high school reunion, time, and Nico’s charm and persistence for her to start seeing him in a different light. An absolute delight to read. (You can choose your own adventure when it comes to the sex scenes: there are closed door and open door versions.)
