Love on Beach Avenue by Jennifer Probst
3.5
3.5 stars
This book was enjoyable, but I feel like it could have been better. I enjoyed the tension between the main characters, but so much more could have been done with it. I also didn't particularly like some of the decisions the characters made.
One example: FMC wants relationship that could possibly lead to serious commitment. MMC says he doesn't believe in love and marriage. FMC decides they can't pursue anything romantic. FMC then becomes jealous and calls man "man ho" and "why don't you go sleep with the hot blonde with no strings since that's what you want?" because she saw the blonde flirting with the MMC. With that, the FMC very effectively proved to the MMC why his thinking about relationships might not be wrong. I just rolled my eyes at this part and was very disappointed the MMC didn't point out to the FMC that she was making a bad case for serious relationships. Getting irrationally jealous and lashing out at him in anger, when they aren't even together, doesn't exactly make someone want to take a leap and get into a relationship.
With that being said, I enjoyed the secondary characters and was intrigued by the possibilities for the next two books in the series.
