This was a cute book. I do love that the main character Talia grew in the book from a former student at the school she had just graduated from to a member of the faculty. It was a nice progression to watch because that is a real growth point. I would have loved to learn more about her love of books and if she read erotica and such so when she started sexting, it wouldn't have been so abrupt with the quasi naughty. I loved Talia's relationship with her grandmother because it seemed genuine . Maxwell was exactly what someone would think of as a teacher I think, minus the cardigans with the elbow patches. I loved how pure he was with Talia once he opened up to her. Once he realized it was real and he could say all the things he hated. It warmed my heart.

Talia and Max were likable enough but at times i found them very stuffy. That’s the easiest way to explain it. The story was a intriguing but it didn’t have the wow factor that I was hoping for. It wasn’t a bad book though. I just really connect with the book or story as a whole.

There wasn't a lot in this book. An expanded plot line and fuller characters would have improved it. Also, as someone in academia, the aspects of university life that weren't accurately depicted drove me crazy.

This was a fun sexy read. I didn’t love how the relationship developed but I did enjoy the fun sexting scene.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for allowing me to read this eARC for an honest review.

Sext with Me was a very easy read. I appreciated the flow of the story, although I feel that the end was rushed. I do have to say, for a book about sexting, there wasn't a lot of sexting going on. There were maybe 3-4 times that sexting occurred, and I think that was not enough since the book is based around the sexting relationship of the main characters. That being said, I do have to say that the sexting conversations made me a bit uncomfortable. Had the actions been happening in real time, I wouldn't have minded as much. I think I was just uncomfortable with the text conversation in general. If you're into sexting, these parts of the book will be right up your alley.

Again, I did like the writing and I liked the two main characters. I also liked the side characters, especially Gran and Maxwell's mom. I liked how they added subtly to Max and Talia's stories.

Overall, liked this story. It didn't blow my mind but it wasn't bad! It was a short and fun smutty read, and even though the sexting made me uncomfortable at times, I did like that it was something I hadn't read in a book before.

I have recently discovered the joys of new adult (this is a whole conversation, but when I say new adult in this context, I mean the romance-centred, twenty-something variety), and so I was really excited for SEXT WITH ME.

Unfortunately, this book just did not go as I hoped it would. The main relationship in the book between Maxwell and Thalia doesn't get going until halfway through, which normally wouldn't be a big issue for me, because that could be indicative of an actual relationship being built. However, Maxwell isn't likeable and Thalia's personal life is, to be blunt, boring. I just don't get these two people coming together.

When they finally do come together, the sexual tension... falls flat. I didn't feel the deep desire for them to find a way to turn this sexting game into a relationship. Also, the big fight (presumably the conflict of the novel), doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because they're both equally "guilty" (I use quotation marks because I don't really see how the conflict is an actual conflict...)

Anyway, I found SEXT WITH ME a little disappointing.

If you like sexting, then this book is for you.
If you like boss/employee book, this book is for you.
If you like older man/ younger women, this book is for you.

This book wasn't for me....
