Just like the prequel this one was so fun to read. Nellie is such a great character. I love how confident and sure of herself she is. I’m hoping her relationship with her dad improves. This book has the perfect amount of humor, tension, and spiciness! Overall, a very fun read and I hope many people are able to read it.

This book was so much fun to read! Nellie was so fun and full of humor and I enjoyed her so much! I loved how sex positive she was and how confident she was in herself! She really does go through with her parents but seeing her continue to be fun and bubbly was great!
The chemistry Nellie had with both JP and Ben was so good! But now I'm left wanting more!!! I definitely have my favorite guy and I'm excited to see more!
I had such a great time and could not put the book down! I read it pretty much in a day and had quite a few laugh out loud moments! I need the next book now!!!

I really enjoyed the little novella that came before this, The Boy Next Door. It was my first introduction to this author, but I knew I was hooked from the beginning. And right away with this one, I was hooked again. I love how the character is open with her sexuality and how the author definitely calls out the slut shaming. But also the author doesn’t make it seem as if everyone is now okay with this type of sexuality, because no, most of the world isn’t, even when people say they are.
Nellie is a fun character, she’s enjoying life and honest about what she wants. Unfortunately she has to rely on her father who when he offered to pay for her school, only asked that she spend some time with him, go to a couple events. Her father is kind of a rich jerk. But soon she finds out that her father wants more from her to continue paying for her school and her living expenses. While Nellie wants to be a forensic investigator her father wants and almost expects that she will change her mind and become a lawyer.
However Nellie’s enemy/first partner, also her best friend’s brother JP, is one reason she does not want to do that. Not to mention that she knows herself and that she doesn’t think the way that lawyers think. Her mind is more analytical as the career she has chosen. When her carefully laid out plans to avoid her father’s demand that she take the LSAT fall through, she first tries to keep it from him. Of course that doesn’t work. And he wants her to study with JP for the test.
Of course she fights doing that as well, avoiding him as much as she can. When things come to a head, the book doesn’t end in a way I’d thought. I guess I’m so used to series where each book is a different couple. This series will be all Nellie’s story, because we’re left with her kind of in between what happened with JP and also what has happened with a “Hot professor”. That part isn’t for me, so I’m hoping/assuming at the end of the series she’ll end up with JP? But who knows! The next book is hopefully this summer so we’ll see where it goes.
It doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, more of a HFN. So be prepared!

I absolutely adored this first full book on Nellie. She is such a fun and wonderful character and I love the growth that she made from the prequel of this book until now. She became a confident, charming, sex-positive woman and I am totally here for it. I love to read about women who know what they want and work to go and get it and be unapologetic in getting there.
I do wish I had gotten to see a little more of JP because I just loved him in The Boy Next Door. I loved how he left the sticky notes. He was perfect in his response to Nellie and their chemistry on the page was fantastic.
Then there is Ben, whom I also loved. I am a sucker for a good professor/student trope and this did not disappoint. I am hoping we get to see more of him in the future too. He was sweet and funny and smart. A perfect combination.
I loved this one and can’t wait to read the next installment. This was a 5 star read for me!
