I would have given it four stars, but it was like I'd read this story before.
It’s fun, humorous, sexy and heartwarming story. It will suck you in from the beginning with its funny and entertaining moments. It has characters you will love. I loved the connection, banter and chemistry between the characters. It’s sizzling and steamy. An enjoyable and entertaining story. Looking forward to reading more. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Pretty good overall!
I liked the different complexities of the book. Not too complicated, not too boring.
Both Emerson and Alex were fun and had a really cute love story.

Very cute predictable romance book which is exactly what I was hoping for. The characters have cute banter, aside from some grammatical and spelling errors it was an easy read that had me giggling and smiling along with the story.
This is the first book to kick off Katie McCoy's new series. I can tell you I'm already hooked! One of my favorite things is the humor. Emerson and Alex were great together. They had a lot of chemistry. Emerson is so good for Alex. She needs balance with her professional life and personal life. I really can't wait for more from this series!

This is a fun, entertaining read. Emerson and Alex are interesting, relatable, complex, intriguing, wounded, strong, smart, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

Goes down as another off my 2018 Bookworm Bingo Challenge – A contemporary romance. Another fun, hot start to another series I’m sure to love as much as the others. These guys are about to stir things up with their new bar. Rascals by name, rascal by nature I feel.
Alex and Emerson had a very serendipity feel to them getting together right from the get go. She bails on a friend to go out to meet new people – well aunt flo was visiting at the time – only to bump into the hottest guy she’d seen in Chicago in a while. Once is a chance encounter, twice might be heating things up (well getting stuck in a banks ATM when power goes out might do that, heat rises as soon as the lights go out) but three times is calling it fate. The third being when Alex wakes earlier than expected on a weekend due to construction work going on below her flat. She gets quite a shock (though in all honesty a very nice surprise) when the boss/owner is none other than her dream guy from the night before.
Fate it seems will not be denied when it comes to these two. No matter how hard they try to tell themselves that they are not looking for something, or someone, due to being too focused on their careers. It doesn’t take too long for the chemistry to take the lead. Sparks fly from the get go so you know it will be hot when they finally give in. Let’s just say the way he gets her to agree to go out on a date with him is after one hell of a pick me up.
It might be smooth sailing for a while but you know choppy waters are soon to follow when you have family issues not being addressed. Tensions building fast and just when you think you have someone on your side they can throw you a curve ball. Well you may think they have but these two just need their heads banging together quite frankly. Both saying and doing/not doing things they didn’t mean to. Stubborn natures the pair of them but thankfully they have good people around them to do the head banging for us.
They are such a cute couple in public but behind closed doors fan me down they get hot. That office of his sure gets its use. Handy with her apartment just upstairs too! It started with a spark that grew into an inferno. Lets just hope it doesn’t burn out.
Side characters were a lot of fun throughout too and nicely linked to set up their own stories with all the guys. Chase and Kelsey’s story is going to be interesting I’m sure. Another chill out read where you get a lot of spice thrown in for good measure. On to the next I say.
I received a copy of this book from the author for my honest review.

Nada memorable, a decir verdad.
Me adentré en esta historia porque la sinopsis me prometía diversión, trama fácil y ligera y buenos protagonistas. Pero, no le encontré ni la diversión ni los buenos protagonistas, y eso hace que todo lo demás decaiga.
En «Rascal» nos encontramos con Alex y Emerson, ella es una aspirante a abogada que trabaja en un gran buffett (solo está esperando sus resultados de los exámenes de abogacía), está más o menos como en una competencia con otros dos trabajadores para poder convertirse en asociada, es decir, conseguir un trabajo real en vez de ser solo una asistente. Por otro lado, está Emerson, proviene de familia rica pero no quiere seguir los mismos pasos que ellos, sino que quiere crear su propio bar, y eso es lo que está haciendo en esta historia, junto con sus otros cuatro amigos. Justo van a empezar su bar en la primera planta de un edificio de pequeños apartamentos, primero remodelando todo, claro.
Luego de un encuentro bastante intenso que tienen los protagonistas la primera vez que se conocen, se vuelven a encontrar con la casualidad de que justamente Alex vive en el piso de arriba del bar, y así es como sus vidas se vuelven a encontrar.
Y pues... No, no me encantó, la primera mitad la devoré, eso sí tengo que admitirlo, pero después de eso simplemente todo me pareció muy meh, la trama iba demasiado rápido, los protagonistas iban demasiado rápido, todo se solucionó de forma mágica y rápida. Cada personaje tenía un trasfondo, pero no les vi la profundidad, no sentí empatía por ellos y, simplemente, no logré conectar con la historia. El primer encuentro me pareció bastaaaaante precipitado y que, luego, casualmente él abriera un bar justo bajo el piso de ella fue otra de las grandes coincidencias que no me gustan mucho que sucedan. Sí, es un libro que entretiene, pero que yo solo quería terminar y no me quedaron ganas de seguir con los siguientes (que lastimosamente voy a tener que hacer porque no me gusta dejar sagas inconclusas).
Además, las portadas sí están medio feas, no me van esas portadas donde sale un hombre semidesnudo, o sea, quiero más detalles, innovación, originalidad... O por lo menos algo romántico, porque aunque la sinopsis también promete erotismo, es bastante poco lo que hay de eso.
Me decepcionó un poco, la sinopsis me vendió algo que no resultó ser para nada.

What a meet cute. If only that really happens.
This story, while it was a cute love story, did more to lay the ground work for the series then it did focus on Alex and Emerson (can I say Emerson is an amazing name).
I loved that they took it somewhat slow (even if it was like a week and a half before the I love Yous). Again I think this was more laying the ground work for the series and I can't wait to read the love stories of the rest of the gang.
I volunteered to read an advance copy.
