That’s the note I should’ve written. Instead I

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.

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.

My Review:
I really, really, really loved the first book in this series, so I was very excited for this one. And this was one I could barely put down. But of course there were so many things going on when I got the chance to finally pick it up and read, that I had to. What I loved though, was that it took no time to dive right back into the story when I was able to get back to it. I enjoyed getting back to the characters I'd met and fell in love with in The Perfect First, and there were a few that I now am even more excited to hopefully see them get their own stories. I felt that Elle did totally overreact in a lot of the situations that happened, but it was definitely easy to see with her background experiences with other guys why she did that. But I like how Nix handled it. Her drama didn't lead him to add more unnecessary drama, and to me, it was realistic how he handled each of her crazy times. His reactions to what normally would turn into the drama just for drama's sake in a story are what made my wavering between 4.5 and 5 stars keep it bumped up to a full 5 stars. And I like that she would apologize when she realized she needed to. I'm really becoming a huge fan of this author, and as I mentioned before, can't wait for more stories in this world. I'm especially excited to see Jules and Berk's story in hopefully the next one!

Sounds like a book I will enjoy reading.
I'm so glad you got to read the second book and I'm glad it was great as the first book. I hope you get a chance to read the rest of the series! I'm glad there wasn't any unnecessary drama from the characters and that the story held a realistic aspect to it.

I think it's awesome that this series has stayed strong for you with excellent character development. I know I always love it when my favorite authors can do this for me too.
The first one was really, really good. Thanks for visiting!
