Thirsty Boy by Mae Harden is part of the Boys of Summer series and is a quick, entertaining, steamy read.

Phoebe is a quirky, awkward writer in Sugar Creek on a mission to write her next article. She’s the resident “try-it” girl for her magazine and this time she must try to bed-surf. She walks into Riptides and unsuccessfully attempts to pick up numerous guys. Spencer, the owner of Riptides, is grumpy and jaded from a previous relationship. When he sees this sassy brunette attempt to pick up guys in his bar, he mistakenly makes an assumption about her and despises her, yet can’t help his attraction to her. A physical altercation results in Phoebe spending a night in Spencer’s guest room. As they learn about each other, the attraction develops to love.

I LOVED Phoebe and Spencer! These two were perfect for each other! Their chemistry was explosive and you could tell these two characters were made for each other through their effortless banter. This book was steamy and the dirty talk was on point! I fell in love with these characters and could not get enough of them in this book! The characters, their chemistry, their relationship, and their emotions were so beautifully conveyed it was difficult not to fall in love with them! I devoured this book in one sitting and can’t wait to revisit Sugar Creek at some point!

Pent Up by Mae Harden is book four in the Sonoma series. Julia is a pediatric nurse who is in a bit of a mess. She tries to do the right thing and ends up with her life at risk. Mateo is a retired Navy SEAL, Julia’s brother’s best friend, and has been next-door neighbors/almost family to Julia since their childhood. He returns home after eight long years in the Navy. Mateo has been in love with Julia for as long as he can remember and circumstances of his father’s health force Julia and Mateo to spend time together in close proximity. With Julia’s life at risk and attraction blooming between the two, their off-limits relationship transforms into something more.

Julia is fierce, independent, and believes she can take care of herself. Faced with danger Mateo can help himself and steps in to protect Julia. Mateo is a typical alpha male who seems grumpy on the outside, but he’s so sweet with Julia. Mateo and Julia’s back and forth was so entertaining, and I loved them from the get-go! Julia’s sass and wit never fail to amaze me and I was the cause of some great chuckles. These two have sizzling chemistry and this book was HOT!

I loved everything about this book and it was the cause of some lost sleep, but I’m not mad because Julia and Mateo are my favorite couple of Sonoma! I love the brother’s best friend, close proximity trope and Mae Harden has executed it to a T! I loved this book and can’t wait to see what Mae Harden has in store for the final book in the Sonoma series!
