This was so fun to read! Honestly, that was the keyword throughout... fun! I loved Henry and Avery coming together in Leave Before I Love You. This story was a good time you don't want to miss.
Leave Before I Love You (Midnight #2) by Max Monroe
Falling in love? Hard pass.
Falling in love with Henry Callahan? Set me on fire first.
Rich, party girl Avery Banks has had her eye on her brother’s best friend Henry for longer than she’d like to admit. She’s spent years pretending she doesn’t care—pretending he doesn’t get under her skin every time he smirks in her direction or calls her “trouble” like it’s a compliment.
He’s chaos, adrenaline-seeking, successful, funny, and hotter than the sun, but he’s also dangerous in a way Avery’s been built to ignore.
He makes her face things.
Actual feelings? Ew.
Responsibility? What?
A plan for her future? That sounds terrible.
But thanks to a freakishly unfortunate turn of events, Avery now finds herself locked in the most extreme case of forced proximity imaginable with the one man who’s always been too hot to handle—and now way too close for comfort.
Giving in to a little chemistry? That might not be totally reckless.
A quick fling to get him out of her system? Practically self-care.
She just has to remember to do one thing:
Leave before she loves him.
Author Note: This standalone romance is a "brother's best friend," "best friend's little sister" romance in the Meet Me at Midnight world.
4 out of 5 stars
Leave Before I Love You was so flipping fun, and I
had a blast reading it! It was an entertaining, low-drama story full of
good times, a bit of adventure, and plenty of chemistry. The predicament Avery
and Henry found themselves in had me hooked from the start. There’s a great mix
of sweet moments, heated ones, and just the right amount of emotion.
Avery had a big personality. She was spoiled and entitled on
the surface, but underneath, she’s got a huge heart. I really enjoyed watching
her grow. Henry, her brother’s best friend, was such a sweetheart. Strong and
capable, I loved how he took care of her when chaos hit. Even more, I loved how
Avery stepped up and held her own in the middle of their crazy situation. I
loved learning about their history and enjoyed the flashbacks, sharing just how
deep their feelings really ran. I loved how they relied on each other, let
their guards down, and really opened up. I also loved the building heat between
them and when the sparks started to fly, there was a nice amount of spice involved
for sure. When real life comes around, making things seem complicated, I loved
how they came back together and made it work. Plus, there is a curveball along
the way that made for a nice surprise, and I liked what it added to the story.
I really liked the characters involved. It was fun to see
Beau and June again, even though she was a bit over the top. I loved Avery’s
unexpected friend group. I thought they were a wonderful addition.
Overall, I thought this was a cute, lighthearted, and charming
read. With likeable characters, a great pace, and really good details, I
found myself smiling, laughing, and feeling the emotion right along with Henry
and Avery. It had the perfect mix of sweet, flirty, and entertaining!
