It was good, I just don’t think I cared enough. They were enemies for like… 4 seconds?

The first book was basically just p*rn. This is the opposite. I think if you’re going into this one hoping for the same spice level, you won’t get it.

It was SO long. A lot of it didn’t quite add up. But I had a good time…I think.

Maybe it’s just personal life stress or whatever but I just couldn’t care much about them.

Did Chet and Mark beat out Eric and Nate for my favorite EA couple? Yes.

Ex best friends to lovers is an unmatched trope and Neve executed it perfectly with Chet and Marc. The loathing, the angst, the lust - everything was perfect.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Format: ebook

“‘I would’ve let you in anytime. I always will. I don’t know that I’d ever be able not to.’”

I liked Nate and Eric, but I fucking adore Mark and Chet, and I knew I would since the first book. Friends to enemies to lovers is just such a top-tier trope, and it was done so, so well with this couple. The chemistry was insane even in Want Me, and it was nuclear in Try Me.

First of all, I love me a misunderstood bad boy, but add a “I had no where else to go” situation and my heart cracks into pieces. Chet going to Mark after his dad was arrested because he was the only comfort he still had in his life was my actual undoing. And then going to his window after everything that went down with Mark’s dad? I was so far gone for them.

From the original fall out, to the Cam drama, to the forced workplace proximity to the spice to the love declarations and everything in between just totally worked for me. I lived for the push and pull between them, I even loved the drama with Mark’s dad and them literally not being able to stay away from each other. Yeah, just, everything was perfect.

I also love that this book was not formatted like the first one. I hated the six long “episodes”. Much prefer the shorter chapters.

Chet and Mark

This enemies to lovers romance was sweet, steamy and emotional. These two men had me in tears with the strong emotions they had toward one another, and the epilogue was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended along with the first book in the series Want Me.

 Two childhood friends have a falling out that isn't really a falling out, but still feels like one. They reunite explosively (with fists) and then in some fun forced proximity kinda shenanigans they find a way back together

Overall I enjoyed it about as much as the first. and I will be reading the rest at some point.
 Plot: 3/5
Spice: 4/5
Characters: 4/5
