Beg For Me by J.T. Geissinger

5.0

I am giddy over this book. 

I highlighted probably 80% of it- there is just so much quotable material in here. 

A little background- I love this author so when book one dropped, I ate it up. Morally grey isn’t really my thing but I’d read this woman’s grocery shopping list. Then I got the ARC for book two and devoured that one, as well. I had to wait *forever* for the third book. The wait between getting an arc, it coming out and then book three being put on pause had me salivating by the time this book made it into my paws. 

It was worth it. 

This is a reverse age gap. Sophia is on the tale end of a divorce so she’s used to running the show AND an executive at her company. She’s direct and clearly knows where her boundaries are. We love to see it. 

Carter’s character was a significant shift in personality. While Callum was BDE and his middle brother had that dark knight vibe, Carter was an emotionally vulnerable himbo. I don’t know how she made his “neediness” charming and not obnoxious but his character was exactly that- charming. 

There are usually things that come up in age gap romances that make me have the ick but somehow, Geissinger addressed every one of those issues before it came to pass. For instance, their date at his house, she is very directly like “no- hard line- I’m not into this” about something that comes up and it was beautifully executed. 

Anywho, Carter meets Sophia and is instantly transfixed. Our morally grey MMC does some morally grey things to get a shot (surprise- he’s a McCord!) and once he has it, does everything he can to keep it. It’s like ‘Diet Morally Grey’ but it ended up being the perfect bow on this series to tie it all together. 

100% will reread this series (I think about the ending of book one once a week) and I will def recommend. 

Geissinger, if you’re taking requests, I want Grandmas book. 

Thank you so much for the arc VPR! This one fixed a slump!
