Meet Cute Book Club Book 2
When my best friend asks me to put her brother up at my place for a while, I’m totally on board. After all, I practically grew up in Chloe and Gideon’s house, so I used to kind of know him. Those childhood memories don’t compare to the real Gideon Reece when he shows up ready to be my temporary roommate. He’s grown into a smoking hot guy complete with tattoos, rakish-looking hair, and a face that looks like art. Too bad he’s a pompous jerk.
My sister’s best friend is going to drive me crazy before my stay here is over. She’s prettier than I remember, but she’s all sunshine and chatter, like she thinks we’re going to be besties while I’m here. Spoiler alert: we’re not. I’m here to secure a job and find a place to live, and in the meantime, I have no interest in palling around with Skye Stafford.
Then why did I kiss her? Probably the same reason I can’t get her off my mind. She’s completely different from any woman I’ve ever known, and to my regret, I can’t get enough of her. I have to keep my hands to myself, because I’d never forgive myself if I came between Chloe and Skye.
My Review:
I haven’t previously read anything from this author, so I didn’t have any particular expectations going in. However, the emotion in this book caught me a little off guard. It started with a lighter vibe, almost a playful enemies-to-lovers thing, but then went a lot deeper than I had expected it would. The connection between Skye and Gideon was undeniable. You can feel that initial awkwardness radiating from the pages. Once they take that final step to come together, it’s like electricity crackles from them. I loved Skye and her methodical approach. It’s so similar to mine that it was easy for me to “get” her. My heart broke for Gideon at the way members of his family undervalued his talents. I adored their ending, yet a part of me wishes we could have seen a little further forward into their future. The author may have been new to me at the beginning of this book, but I think I’ve found my next one-click binge. And now I can’t wait to see what else this series brings us.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Indie Pen PR.
