This one was a lot more entertaining and had more of a plot than the first book. I definitely bought their relationship more and the familial drama was the perfect mix for me. 

I loves both Chet and Mark plus I enjoyed the POV switching between them.

Reading this series on a recommendation from the narrator and while I was hesitant because it's not something I'd have picked on my own, I've been so pleasantly surprise at how sweet, sexy, and incredibly heart-warming this book was (the first was okay, but you could tell it was initially a series of short stories, so it wasn't as cohesive as this one). It feels like a warm blanket and I'll never doubt Kirt Graves again XD

Certainly better than the first installment, Try Me has more substance, and not just meaningless sex the whole way throughout the book.

Mark and Chet are best friends-turned-enemies-turned-lovers. Their friendship fizzled at the same time their fathers' partnership did. Throw in some  misunderstandings in the mix, Mark and Chet's initial camaraderie would not have survived if they weren't inexplicably drawn to each other despite their fathers' warnings. 

Contributing to the substance is each of Mark and Chet's backstory and their relationships with their parents. I was glad to see both of their character development: Mark being a preppy frat boy to a responsible adult who stood up to his father, and Chet, a weed dealer to a promising lawyer who didn't let his father's ill-gotten legacy get in the way of his future.

In regards to the narrative, the writing is so much more polished in this book, though there are some parts where the voice gets confusing, not sure who was speaking, but other than that, the banter between the MCs are funny and insightful at times. Some of the dialogue though, on paper sound kick-ass,  but maybe too verbose for real life conversations. But then again, the MCs are supposedly smart as legal interns that it may be excused. 

Try Me is a good effort by the author in showcasing that two people can set aside their differences and love each other again.

With supportive friends and people surrounding Mark and Chet, it was refreshing to see their journey, from their childhood, to their rivalry, and to their team up at a prestigious law firm. Instead of letting their upbringing and parents control their situations, ultimately both of them forged their own paths and fight for what and who they believe in.
