YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.

Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.

If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…

Rachael, Berit and I will be reading this book from Sunday on.
Everyone, feel free to join us!

I started this and I like it so far, but I'm only 1 chapter into the book.
I plan to read from now to the rest of the day.
We'll see how fast or slow I'll read, depends on the writing style and my concentration.

Page 32 (view spoiler)[ that puking scene was hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading the book before this now, almost done, but I find her writing style extremely easy and quick to get through.
Although I am somebody who gets easily distracted, otherwise maybe I read a lot more than I do, LOL!

Page 97
So was that (view spoiler)[couple they saw Reese's ex husband and his new wife?

Btw , what kind of papers he wants for her to sign? I didn't get it. About property or sth, because they obviously are divorced since he is married again. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11(view spoiler)[ I really like the chemistry between Greece and then, was really surprised her friend was dating her brother, or stepbrother, although I think following her ex to the paintball place was a bit much, yet funny! (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure about the papers, but yes that was the couple they saw

Chapter 20 pool>>>>> Ocean
(view spoiler)[ these guys are so cute together, it's author is really good at avoiding that Insta love, especially in this book cheers to her! (hide spoiler)]

Through Chapter 4 - Liking it so far.. The characters seem realistic and the dynamic is perfect so far.. Can't wait to see where this goes!

Berit wrote: "Chapter 11[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, it was a little bit too much. I don't know what was her aim when it comes to that!

I'm on page 113 because yesterday I did everything but reading so... I hope I'll finish it today though!

Page 132 Hahaha! This is what happens' when the guy (view spoiler)[ finnaly gets a girl (or mayge gets laid)! He turns into a hottie! ;) (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Wait.. she said Jack introduced her to the chocolate pecan pie? I thought that's the flavor of pie she got at that diner her dad abandoned her at? hmmmm What could that mean (hide spoiler)]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Tbh, I missed that!

Irena wrote: "Rachael wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Tbh, I missed that!"

I miss that as well, it's the same diner they were at in the previous book remember the Keylime pie???

I finished! So good! This might be my favorite of the series! I'll stick around and, on your comments
(view spoiler)[ I absolutely loved these guys together, and the little twist at the end with Jack and mama, LOL! This was just a fabulous friends to lovers story, and I just was so sucked in to the entire thing. Usually I don't think Guys can turn from man whore to devoted man, but I could see this guy really would only commit to somebody he truly felt he could be committed to.
So cute them both fighting so hard not to fall for each other, loved it! (hide spoiler)]

Ah I forgot about that!

I think that part was a flash back to when he first gave her the divorce papers.

I also finished it. I liked it really, really much.
My facorite scenes were (view spoiler)[when they were at Ben's place back home, when he gave her a ride in the tractor and all of that...

I found it illogical how Reese's father could have died and she didn't know about it because he was her biologicyl father and here in my country she would have been noticed about his accident because she is his dauggter and also that makes his inheritor. Bit I don't know how American Law works... (view spoiler)[

Anyway, really good NA story without clichès! :) (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

68% - Loving this SOOO much.. So much yes!

87% YES!!! (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she turned Jared down and that Caroline witnessed it all.. Loved that (hide spoiler)]

I think there is 4 in the series

I really do enjoy her writing!

Well, if you want to set something up for the second book after the 10th that will work :-)

I finished this one by the way.. totally loved it. And loved the bit about Jack and Mama!

That was the best! ;-)

Chapters 1 - 5 (view spoiler)[ Ben Morris is such a cocky dude! I'm looking forward to his story since he's not a bouncer at Penny's anymore. I have mixed thoughts on Reese. She's wild and reckless. A ticking time bomb ready to explode when she's mad. Quite indecisive too. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 6

(view spoiler)[I'm just reading this book is the last one of the saga. so far I like it a lot I hope it's different from the others (hide spoiler)]

chapter 14

(view spoiler)[I like way more this book than the others it piss me off that Ben only thinks in sex but kinda like it (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 6 - 10 (view spoiler)[I'm getting less annoyed with Reese. She needs to get over that Jared douchebag. It's sad she's too hungover him. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 11 - 15 (view spoiler)[ LMFAO THAT PAINTBALL SCENE. DAMN. THAT SURE HURTS WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GEARS. Reese is SAVAGE.

Even though Ben is so crass, he's such a sweet guy. Love how he treats his mama (hide spoiler)]

chapter 19

(view spoiler)[ it seems that they will hurt each other until they confess their love to each other, ugh I hope I'm wrong at this but seems like not (hide spoiler)]

chapter 30

(view spoiler)[ finally, they are starting to realize but is quiet different, I like it (hide spoiler)]

finished

(view spoiler)[ to be honest i really liked a lot this book it was quite different from the others, reese piss me off many times god but ben was the enjoy in this book i love his character way more than all the others books and i like way more reese than all the others girls in the book, this book was awesome and hilarious in some chapters. the most i like about this book was the romance wasn't so... cliché(?) like all the others books it was cute and simple i like that way and the drama wasn't overreacted like the others too it was kinda real.

glad i finally end this saga, romance is not for me but i enjoy this book (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 16 -25(view spoiler)[ LOL at Jared's current wife. She's a crazy b! Finally Ben and Reese are getting together!

Ben's mama is so sweet and selfless. The years she's put up with her husband was a lot. (hide spoiler)]
