Max Monroe
• standalone Rom-Com
4.5 Stars
A successful writer accidentally sends her new (and
super-dreamy) editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the full-length
paranormal novel she promised Longstrand Publishing, she sends the fan fiction
she’s written about her crush…on him—including every detail of the hot, steamy
“physical activity” she’s fantasized about happening between them.
And Chase Dawson may be the hottest man alive and a
super-talented editor to boot, but he’s completely oblivious that he’s the star
of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light.
Brooke Baker has been through a lot in her thirty-one years
of life.
A divorce.
A career change.
A move to New York City from “small-town” Ohio.
Not to mention, she has a bit of a medical condition that
involves occasional fainting spells, mild embarrassment, and the companionship
of her adorable service dog and canine sidekick, Benji.
But none of it has prepared her for this.
None of it prepared her for Chase Dawson.
Strong jaw, blue eyes, cut muscles, and a perfect swoop of
superhero-worthy black hair, Chase’s features are those of a book boyfriend and
then some. Obviously, Brooke would know—she literally filled an entire
manuscript with it.
A manuscript no one was ever supposed to see.
Will she
survive two months of revising and editing the sizzling romance she imagined
with Chase in extremely close quarters with him? Or will the constant
white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?
It was another super adorable and hilarious and sparky hot Max Monroe rom-com!
Plus we got a super cute dog too!
I really loved the whole idea of the story and the forced proximity on the tour. And Brooke is so horrible adorably awkward and fun and just cute. Chase is dream leading man material. #CinnamonRoll Bookboyfriend-of-our-dreams material! He's so adorable in the way he loves her previous books and her new book and how he just adores her and thinks she's the cutest and funniest thing ever! Adorable.
For me... I loved reading this. It was a really cute and funny and sparky story. But it took me so long to finish it. It was just too long with too many redundant details. Especially with Chase being an editor - he should've cut some stuff! 🤣 And Brooke's funniness was a bit over the top and too unfunny most often. She tries too hard to be funny to hide her insecurities and it was just too much. And the love story - while developing sweetly all through the book - it was way too slow. We don't really get any time with them as a couple ... and bam it's THE END.
Oh and there was a tiny line that Chase says that did not fit his character at all. Okay, he just woke up after a bad night and maybe his grandpa used to say that, but that line was so horrible and unexpected. I don't mind bad language but that just didn't fit Chase at all!
BUT - don't mind my complainings - I really enjoyed reading this. I will always read any and all Max Monroe books!
Can't wait to get the next one with two people we already met here....
And if you love slow-burn forced proximity hilariousness - this is the book for you!
And again I'm asking myself: How are none of Max Monroe's books streaming their behinds off on Netflix yet?? The world is a weird and sad place!!
