Making the Book Boyfriend by Carolina Jax

5.0

Book 2 of this series from the Book Boyfriend Builders, and, I loved Maverick and Ava. They "met" in Read Me, Baby from Carolina, and there was alittle something something there. Ava, and her friends, have decided to help men become what women want, like the book boyfriends we read about (yes please). Jay and Nina from Read Me, Baby (like if you have not read this, why not, its soooooooo good, but also this can be read as a standalone, but still, read the other book......lol) sign Maverick up to Ava's class. Maverick comes across as the smart alec who certainly pushes all of the wrong buttons on Ava and believes this whole thing is stupid. In fact, he is determined to show the others, that it doesn't work and won't.

Ava is none too impressed with Maverick, as there are too many things about him that remind her of her ex husband Zach. Of course the to and fro of their snarky conversations just adds to the sexual tension, but as is shown, it comes from a place of protecting oneself, not wanting to get hurt. Mav and Ava have more in common than they think, and this is reflected back to them thru the eyes of those closest to them.

And.......when we see Ava's walls start to crumble, when she allows herself to take a chance with Mav, she realises that there is alot of depth to him, and how he too protects himself. The spice is off the Richter scale and its hold on tight as that tsunami unleashes......whoa baby. I loved these two, and Mav can sing me "great balls of fire" anytime he wants. As with the first, these books are all going to be amazing, and this deserved more than 5 stars. Thank you Carolina.
