Synopsis
Dear Jerk Across the Street, sorry for accidentally walking in on you and catching an eyeful of your – equipment. And hard pass on the open invitation to join you in the shower ‘anytime’, A-hole.
That’s the note I should’ve written. Instead I sent a pleasant and apologetic version.
Had I known Phoenix ‘Nix’ Russo would’ve been the neighbor from hell, I’d have told him right where he could shove my words.
Nix is the big man on campus with everyone lined up at his games to make sure he knows it. Sure, he’s got piercing blue eyes, abs that don’t quit and a smile that could set fire to a set of panties from a hundred yards away, but he’s also the biggest pain in my ass.
Dear Pink-Haired Menace, learn how to take a joke and stop being such a kill-joy…
Elle Masterson called the cops on one of my parties – again. My sweet talking usually gets me out of trouble, but this time it got me into a nice pair of silver handcuffs. Now I’m on a reputation rehab tour with a stop at a spring break community service project.
Guess who’s my new boss?
Now we’re shoulder to shoulder, sweaty, tired and … she’s not anything like I expected. There might just be a heart under that hardass exterior. She’s invading my dreams and I can’t shake the feeling she’s the key to unlocking a piece of me that I’ve hidden away.
It’s only a matter of time until she finds out why I’m really here.
Maybe I can break through her walls and into her heart before that happens … one screw at a time.
Review
This book was provided by the author through Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Maya Hughes!
The Second We Met is the second book in the Fultun U series and tells the story of Elle and Nix. Although this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
The Second We Met is the first book I’ve read by Maya Hughes and I really liked it! I had no expectations at all since I hadn’t read a book by her yet, but now I’ll have some expectations when I read her next book! The Second We Met was such a good Sports Romance/New Adult book!
I really liked the characters. Elle’s parents used to have money, and now they have barely anything. She needs to student jobs and on top of that she does charity to be able to win an award that will help her get a good job. Nix is an athlete whose father wants him to play football even though his passion is cooking with his grandfather. Our main characters don’t have the best family situation and that’s what I like so much about this story: it makes it more realistic and not just about the Romance.
The Second We Met was such a fast paced and well written read. I loved reading about Elle and Nix because they’re a match made in heaven! I really enjoyed reading this book and I cannot wait to read the other books in the Fultun U series!
