Incredibly spicy, Winter delivers another deliciously addictive romance with Beg for It. The book begins with Bronte agreeing to interview with her father’s best friend for a job. The same night she finds out about the interview, she and a couple girlfriends go out, and Bronte unknowingly meets Beckham before they know who each other are. He leaves abruptly after seeing her name and bruises her ego, but then she later winds up working for him. Working together as closely as they do with a fierce attraction simmering between them leads to some very interesting moments and soon they’re far more than just boss/employee. With a lot working against them, especially the fact that he’s so much older and Bronte’s father’s friend, will they be able to make it work, or will it end before it ever really begins?

Beckham and Archer’s chemistry is off the charts, and it makes for some incredibly tense and then spicy instances. They’re both so completely attracted to one another but are slow to act on anything, and that apprehension made it so I didn’t want to put this book down. I love the drama inherent in their taboo relationship, but then add in a certain outside factor and it all gets trickier in a really good way.

I enjoyed the characters themselves, too. Bronte’s cute albeit slightly naïve sometimes, and I liked how sure of herself she was at work. But Beckham stole the show with his commanding persona and sweeter side. His older boss character could’ve come off as nothing but a gruff billionaire or whatever, but that’s not the vibe I got from him at all as the story progressed. He turned out to be more than I assumed he might be, and I found myself empathizing with him despite his flaws.

Steamy with a good plotline, this book is another great addition to the series. If you’re in the mood for a romance with some forbidden topics, then you’re not going to want to miss Beckham and Bronte’s book.

If you enjoy a dad’s best friend storyline then do not hesitate in reading this one! Alexis brought all the heat in this age gap, forbidden, workplace romance. She made this one extra filthy and I am here for it all! Beckham is Bronte’s father’s best friend and her dad is the one who throws them together when he pushes Bronte to apply for a job at Beckham’s company.

Bronte and Beckham were hot together and it was clear from their first interaction before they knew who each other was, that there was something between them. Forbidden or not there was no way they could stay away from each other. While I am a little tired of all these heroes who are anti-relationships/marriage/family, I do enjoy watching those heroes completely change their mind when they fall head over heels for the heroine.

I enjoyed how there were secondary storylines in this book that added to the overall story. Bronte has a very strained relationship with her dad and it was interesting to watch how all that unfolded. I kept going back and forth on whether or not I thought he was a good guy. And of course there was some crazy drama brought in with Beckham’s ex. All of it was done so well and brought lots of surprises to the story.

This was very well written with lots of spice and lots of story to be told. The characters showed growth throughout the book. And there was drama and excitement that kept me very entertained and unable to put the book down. This one really pulled at my heartstrings.
