I ADORED this book. It is FAR FAR better than the first in the series...
"He gave me a wink before starting the song. The moment I heard his deep gruff voice, I immediately knew I was royally fucked"
Lexi Bennett is the sister of Grayson and the BFF of Pippa (the couple from book 1) She is a workaholic that runs a wildly successful restaurant. Jake runs his father's construction business and sings with his old band Waking the Fallen on the weekends. When these two lay eyes on each other, nothing will ever be the same...
"He tasted of whiskey and bad decisions."
"Sorry girls, but...” I pause and turn back to Jax and run my tongue up his cheek. “...I licked him, so he's mine."
This was simply a super sweet and SMOKIN hot read. Both Jake and Lexi were likable characters. It's VERY insta-everything, but it worked for me here. No other women or other man drama. Very little angst, and a tear worthy epilogue. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
"I would sell everything I have, live in the streets, to make your every dream come true, because that is what people do when they love someone. You have done more for me just by loving me than anyone ever has. You are the air in my lungs, the beat in my heart, and the blood that flows through my veins. I love you more than anything in this world."

InstaLust, instaLove, and lots of smut.
Lexi is a chef, who spends most of her time worried about work. She lets herself have fun one night and goes out with her friend to a bar where a band is performing.
Jax is a retired rockstar turned construction worker, and when he sees Lexi he instantly wants her. So he gets her.
This read was pretty good. If you're looking for something with lots of naughty bits and InstaLust. Then, look no further! The couple falls in love pretty quickly, BUT I will say that the author does a good job of making a connection between them afterwards. I love that their relationship grew, and that they were actually compatible outside of their instant attraction.
All in all a really good read!

When I first started reading this series, I was in a reading slump like no other. I planned on just reading it to help me with the slump. But then I became obsessed with Cupcake. And now I'm just as obsessed with this book too.
Lexi and Jax met in a dark nightclub. She was in the crowd and he was working the crowd. And since then, it was magic. It had been a while since either one of them had been involved with someone, one by choice, the other not so much. But finally, they get together and it turns into way more than either of them expected.
I really liked the first in this series Cupcake, but I still liked this one better. Maybe because this one had more of a plot. The other was about one thing and it was such a short book, it kind of seemed like it wasn't about much. But this one had a plot and was still about the one thing lol It made the story so much more interesting.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the length! It was so short! She also has books that are a bit longer, so I've been trying to figure out if maybe this series was an accident when she started writing it or what. Whatever the case may be, I like the series regardless of the length and I can't wait to see what else Andrews has up her sleeves.
As for the romance, it was a bit insta-lovely, but I chalk that up to the book being so short. But regardless of how short it was, they were still explosive together. I loved their interactions and I loved how Lexi melted Jax. Exactly the way a relationship is supposed to happen. I also especially loved the ending. Super cute! I wish I had seen what happened with Pippa and Greyson tho. Hopefully there's another book that features them two as well.
In short, this book was a quick read that had me fanning myself as I read it. It solidified my love for Andrews and made me realize I will read anything she writes, no matter if its 150 pages or 1500 pages. (Buutttt I mean if the 1500 pages is even possible I will be your BETA reader I'm just saying lolol)
