Thank you so much to Hambright PR & Max Monroe for an advance copy of this book!
This book will be out on Feb 7th, 2025.
Whewwww! I have been very lucky lately with the romances I have been reading. They have been knocking me out. And this one kept me up until the wee hours of the night because I just couldn't stop. Did I slide into the authors DM expressing this? Of course I did!
This is a second in the series but is written completely as a stand alone. The only part that I did get a little lost in was everyone in Lexi's family (a family tree would be helpful LOL). The authors warned that this book would be "laugh out loud" and "the best banter" and they seriously delivered!
"And if you win, you can spend the night at my place."
"And if I lose?"
"You won't lose."
I was completely enthralled into this storyline from start to finish. Blake was HEAD OVER HEELS for Lexi prior to them interacting. He always had a crush on her from afar and being invited into a secret society where she is the President threw him into her orbit. He was cocky in the best way because he knew he could get her to give him a chance. And lord he was a patient man!! Lexi has autism and is super intelligent, she knew that her brain worked differently. She was convinced that there was no way she could be/love someone due to this. But eventually with Blake she wanted to try.
I just love their relationship and I was kicking my feet and internally screaming through a good chunk of this book. I didn't like that she wanted to keep him a secret even though I understood her reasoning but their clandestine meetups (THE BANK) were just so sexy! Blake never wanted to do things that Lexi wasn't comfortable with. And even when Lexi did want to do something, he turned her down. Lexi thinks with equations and experiments and she looked at this relationship from the start as just that. But she had no clue how much she was actually falling for him. There was a moment towards the end where something had happened and they saw each other at a party and GAH I could feel it all through the pages!
It is very clear who the next book is going to be about and I will be there to watch Ace and Julia's story unfold!
I just loved this one so much and I hope you all consider reading it as well!!
