You’ve met the men of BAM. Now get to know the rebel.

Who is Reid Matthews?

A child, abandoned and unloved.

A teen, adrift and disregarded, using his superior tech skills for the wrong intentions.

A young adult, his future overshadowed by his prison record, his life an endless loop of loneliness.

Until he is given a second chance and a new life emerges.

A career he once thought he could only dream of, surrounded by people who show him that family and home aren’t simply words.

And a girl who shows him the greatest, most complex code he could ever write.

Love.

Favorite Quotes:

I think you were attempting to dance, but at first, I wasn’t sure if you were having a seizure or drunk.

I’ll say your mattress dancing is a lot smoother than your floor dancing.

I have to tell you that listening to your marketing geek is seriously turning me on, BB. It makes me want to interface with your software.

“Go upstairs, Richard. Give me five minutes with my girl. You’ve had her all week.” “We need to talk if all you need is five minutes, Reid.”

My Review:

I loved this book from start to finish as I have every book in this series. I treasured the sweet and quirky Reid; he stole my heart although his back-story had left a serious bruise on my well-used coronary muscle. Written from my favorite dual POV, the storylines were poignant, well-crafted, continuously engaging, and loaded with endearing characters, clever levity, and witty banter. My attention never flagged, there were no slow and less interesting spots, and my only complaint would be the want for more. Melanie Moreland remains near the top of my list of favorite authors with consistently turning out highly entertaining, thoughtful, and insightful stories with eloquence and perfection.

We spent the entire day together. I worked on the system, with Becca acting as my assistant. More than once, she rose up on her toes for a kiss. More than once, I had her pressed to the wall, devouring her mouth. It was the best install I had ever done.

“You are such a good kisser,” she murmured against my mouth. “How can a virgin be so good at kissing?”

Pleased she was enjoying my caresses, I grinned. “I have kissed girls and women, but, as I said, I haven’t gone beyond that.” I cupped her face, dragging my lips across her cheek to her sensitive earlobe. “I was waiting for the right person.”

“And I’m that person?”

“Yes,” I stated with conviction, dropping another kiss to her mouth. “You are.” I ran my fingers over my lips, then grabbed my drill.

“Why do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“You press your fingers on your mouth every time we kiss.”

“Oh, ah…” I stalled, looking over her shoulder. I felt heat prickle my neck.

“Tell me,” she insisted. “I want to know.”

“I like how it feels when you kiss me. I guess I’m sort of sealing you into me. Keeping your taste locked into my mouth.”

She stared at me, blinking and silent.

“Is that weird? It’s weird. I’m sorry.”

I wasn’t prepared when she launched herself at me. The drill flew one way; we hit the wall behind me, a mass of entangled arms and legs, her mouth on mine, hard and passionate. I slid down the wall to the floor, taking her with me. She was ferocious in her intensity, her kisses deep and possessive.

“You say the most erotic words,” she groaned. “Sealing my taste into you?”

“So, not weird?” I moaned as she kissed her way down my neck.

“No, not weird.” She hovered over me, her dark hair falling like a waterfall around us. “You turn me on like no man has ever done, Reid. Ever.” She kissed me again.

I was good with that.

Romance typically isn’t my thing, but I do enjoy a read that elicits a good belly laugh! Might have to give this one a try just for the comedy aspect since I loved all your featured quotes!!

This one sounds good! Glad you enjoyed it!

I need this one! Onto the TBR it goes!!!

Reading the synopsis, I think it’s something I wouldn’t pick because of how the synopsis was written. But seeing the quotes, I think it really has humor!

This series is just the best and bad boy geeky Reid finding a home with the BAM guys is just perfection! This review is as awesome as the book and does it justice! I can promise anyone who reads this will be so happy they did! And have many laugh out loud moments as well as swoon and heart touching ones! Anything Melanie Moreland writes is golden!
