Intriguing to run across this book that has a lot of mysterious monikers all rolled into one name. Or as they state, ‘A secret duo of romance authors team up under the pseudonym Max Monroe to bring you a sexy, laugh-out-loud new series…& more. ;) Writing partners and long time friends, Max and Monroe strive to live and write all the fun, sexy swoon so often missing from their Facebook newsfeed. Sarcastic by nature, their two writing souls feel like they’ve found their other half.’
The refreshing aspect of this book is the degree of humor that they infuse steamy erotica. The language is a bit overdone in the potty mouth category, but it fits the story just fine. Naughty all the way .A tease of their sparkling writing skills follows as we meet Sophie: “Party of ten for Sophie Sage,” I tell the big, burly bouncer behind the velvet rope. The man is dressed all in black and has a perpetual scowl etched across his lips, but I’ assuming that come with the job territory. Ever Friday and Saturday night, he’s tasked with the responsibility of filing this club with partygoers who will have a good time, but also, won’t act like total a******s. Sure, it sounds simple enough, but all it takes is standing in the never-ending line outside – in the bitter February cold, mind you – for a mere five minutes with people yelling and shouting toward the bouncers at the door to understand it’s not simple at all. If anything, the man is being paid to deal with verbal harassment and demanding drunk idiots. All night long…’
The plot is summarized as follows: ‘When it comes to life’s fun and games, always know: The rules. What’s at stake. When to quit. Wise words from…well…my fortune cookie. But wise words, nonetheless. I just wish the Fortune Cookie People had considered how hard the whole “knowing when to quit” would be to carry out when a woman like me is gambling with her feelings. Heart-palpitating, vageen-tingling, butterflies-in-my-belly feelings for a noncommittal, hot-as-sin player by the name of Jude Winslow. After a crazy night where we were both pretending to be someone else, I’ve found myself immersed in the fun of the fling. The thrill. The irresistible charm. The pleasure of being with a man like him. Problem is, I’m positive he’s the exact opposite of husband material, and that is a serious issue for someone who is fixated on finding her happily ever after. I know the rules and I know the stakes, oh wise Fortune Cookie. Now I’d just like to know how close to self-destruction I have to get before I find the will to quit Jude Winslow. Goodness knows, when your heart is on the line, you can’t ante up your bet with an IOU.’
It is a rollercoaster ride sparkling with erotica and guffaws. Enjoy a different vantage! Grady Harp, July 21

About the author
Wasn’t really convinced the hero was interested in the heroine for more than a good time..
The way these two met was both amusing and steamy! I instantly felt the intense pull and physical attraction between Sophie and Jude and I couldn’t help but enjoy the way their paths crossed multiple times. From the very beginning, Jude makes it very, very clear that he doesn’t do attachments or relationships and that he’s only interested in $.ex. Following advice to not be so rigid and cautious, Sophie agrees to let loose and have some fun with Jude. Cutting to the chase, I would’ve liked to have seen more of the ‘getting to know you’ stage. I thought the majority of Sophie and Jude’s fling only focused on the physical aspects and not the small details you might learn about someone through conversation. To me, it didn’t seem like Jude cared about much other than getting Sophie off and testing her limits. Even when he did lay on some charm to try to wine and dine Sophie, it’s sole purpose seemed to be about delaying gratification versus getting to know her. Some of the things I did enjoy about this book were Jude’s family dynamic. There was a lot of teasing, head smacking, and speaking their minds. This was a family that didn’t hold their tongues when they had opinions, and even if they didn’t exactly approve or agree with what the other brothers were doing, you could still feel the unconditional love they have for one another. I really appreciated that even though this might be considered a romcom, mental health was seriously addressed throughout this book! It’s not often that I read about mental health issues in a book, let alone characters seeking help for their mental health, so I really valued how it was written into this story. Favorite Quote: "Sorry’s not going to turn back time, now is it? The only woman who can make me feel like it’s possible is Cher. And I don’t see her here.” -Sophie
