Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe is a fun, quick romance that hits all the right notes. Juniper, who’s spent most of her life at her best friend’s house, falls for her best friend’s older brother, Beau, the moment she meets him. While it takes Beau a bit longer to notice her romantically, when he does, sparks fly.

With the perfect mix of humor, tension, and heart, their secret relationship keeps you hooked. The banter between them is hilarious, and the slow-burn romance is satisfying. The dual POV adds depth, giving you a great connection to both characters.

If you love best friend’s brother, forced proximity, and secret relationship tropes, this book is a must-read. It’s light, funny, and emotional in all the best ways! Highly recommend for a quick, feel-good romance.

Thanks to NetGalley and for an ARC of Meet Me At Midnight by Max Monroe.This was my first book by the author’s and just like they said, I was hooked, couldn’t put the book down and was laughing out loud throughout. I really enjoyed the found family dynamic of this book and Juniper and Beau feel like they always made sense to be together. Avery had a lot of redeeming to do for me after her epic meltdown and I think it happedn too quickly. But otherwise I loved the concept of using the Midnight app to further the plot along. Highly recommend!

Juniper is an intern to Beau’s executive at his father’s company. He is her best friend’s brother and she has been in love with him for years. The way they finally connect is via an app that the company is testing out and marketing for. I thought this was a unique story with great build up and spice. I loved Max’s writing and ability to build characters. This was my first Max Monroe book but won’t be my last! Thank you for this ARC from Netgalley!

Honestly you can never go wrong with a max monroe book. They will get you to laugh every time, and their witty lines and endless humor will always be a trademark. I loved the lines and the sweet romance, and cant wait for their next book

Thanks to the Author and NetGalley opportunity to read for an honest review.

This was a modern romance with all my favourite tropes.

I’ve a little bit of love for siblings best friend romance having found my partner the same way! So this book gave all my favourite romance tropes.

For me it was easy to read, easy to get into and enough to keep me engaged the whole way through.

I loved the character building, each with their own personalities but all under the loving roof of the Banks family. Avery with her pampered princess vibes, really feel there is way more to pull on with her. She flits in and out but there’s definitely more to her than on the surface. Her best friend June who is almost like a sister, more level headed and conscientious but you can see the two of them bonded in younger years. And of course, Beau, the gorgeous older brother who is off limits.

When June interns at the same marketing firm as Beau she finds out there’s someone trying to undermine Beaus pitch for a new client and attempts to alert him anonymously. This leads to a new found connection with his “mystery woman” but will June be brave enough to come clean to her childhood crush and best friends brother?

Lots of banter and secret spicy hook ups, as well as the underlying threat that maybe all of Beaus hard work will be stolen from underneath him.

A great stand alone romance with the promise of maybe a bit more with the mention of Henry and Avery at the end. I’d definitely be keen to read more.

I have read a couple of different books by Max Monroe and have really enjoyed them. They have tons of humor, fun quirky characters and romance all rolled into one package. While I did enjoy this book I can say it was not my top book of theirs. There was less humor in this book compared so some of their others. BUT this was still an excellent read and I did really enjoy it and would recommend. It is your typical girl loves boy who has no idea she exists romance.

Juniper is an only child that basically grew up at her best friends house with her family. She wants for nothing from her rich parents except for the emotional support any child needs; this she got from the Banks family who treat her like a second daughter. The only problem is that Juniper is madly in love with Beau, her best friends brother. And he of course sees her as just another little sister. Fast forward to them now working together (Juniper as an intern and Beau as an executive) and she finds it harder and harder to get over her feelings for Beau. When the opportunity arises for her to warn Beau about some internal drama at work while remaining anonymous, she takes it. What was strictly work related soon turns into flirting and so much more. The only problem is Juniper knows it Beau on the other end but Beau doesn't know it is her. What will happen when he finds out who it is? What will her best friend say when she finds out about her long term crush on her brother? So much drama to ensue!

Overall a good read. It is very well written and a fun story.

June may have been raised in an affluent lifestyle, but it was her best friend’s family who were there for her. Due to her close relationship with them it was only a matter of time before she developed feelings for her best friend’s brother even if he never felt the same. They now find themselves working at his family’s business and it is because of a secret she uncovered that allows him to see her as the woman she is.

Beau is intrigued by the woman who has reached out to him through the app the company is trying to launch. He soon realizes that talking to her is no longer enough and he needs to meet her and that is when the complication and fun really begins.

The banter and humor of the story is entertaining and there is a little angst, but it was all worthwhile as we get to experience the romance of June and Beau as their relationship unfolds.

I’ve been ARC reading for Max Monroe for a couple of years now, and their books just keep getting better and better!!! These two are nonstop. I love the workplace, secret identity and crush tropes, and Max and Monroe SLAYEDDD it. Everything they write is an auto-read for me. I just love how the title ties into the storyline. 🥹

I loved the play on the taylor swift lyrics which drew me ti this story. I'm a sucker for a forbidden romance and this was just whst I was looking for. The banter was cute and the story was an overall good read.

“I remember, June. Apparently I remember everything when it comes to you.”

I didn’t really vibe with this one unfortunately. I was so excited by the premise because I usually love a forbidden romance but this missed the mark for me. Meet Me at Midnight is a dual-POV romance that follows Juniper and Beau. Juniper and Avery are besties for life and both working as interns at Avery’s dad’s firm. Beau is Avery’s hot older brother who Juniper has secretly had a crush on since she first met him. He also works at the firm. A new project comes in to the marketing firm for an app called, Midnight, where users can talk anonymously to other users. Perhaps some employees at the firm will have to test the platform out before it’s official launch…

I wanted to get lost in the rich, glamorous life these characters flaunt, but I just found them insufferable. The dialogue is cringey. Avery is obnoxious and clueless. Beau and Juniper are meh; very one-dimensional. This should have been steamy and exciting with the messaging app and the sneaking around, but I didn’t feel any tension between the main characters. There’s lust, but not really any convincing romance. The sweetest part of the story was between Diane and Neil, who despite their wealth and self-absorbed children, seemed like really great people. I loved the way they took in Juniper as their own and really truly cared for her.

I definitely wish I skipped this one, not for me!

Thank you to Netgalley and Max Monroe for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

3.5 rounded up. I was choking on air laughing from the first chapter. It was cute and predictable in the way most romances are. Check this out if you love a best friends brother romance.

This is a creative book and I enjoyed reading it! It goes by very quickly which makes it an easy read. It is full of light-hearted moments that bring plenty of smiles when reading the book.

Beau and Juniper (she has a few nicknames which are so cute!) have an adorable back story.. This is a true friends to lovers story and it is so sweet how the two move from one stage to the other. Also, this is where the creativity of this transition takes place. I loved reading these parts of the book.

The book is funny and has moments of pure laughter but I really feel this is one of the more romantic books written by this duo. In my opinion, I feel this book has more steamy, dirty talk and less intense steamy scenes than past books. I like this for the book because it feels right for these two characters and how they come together.

I recommend giving this book a read. It is fun to read, very quick to read and is for any romantic

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

This was such a fun read! I had to force myself to take my time because I didn’t want it to end.

The characters were full of so much personality and paired with the amount of detail in the writing…. I seriously felt like I was right there in this fictional world alongside the characters.

The concept of this story was definitely unique but not unbelievable. Specifically, I have never read a book quite like this one but the idea that two people could fall in love over a dating app is certainly not a foreign notion in today’s world.

I like how the author came up with their own dating app instead of using something that actually exists. Not only is the app a work of fiction, but the way that it functions is a totally creative and unique idea that I think the singles in society would definitely benefit from. Talking with someone but your identity is private? I think this would be a great opportunity for people to find real connections. Think “love is blind” but on your phone.

The chemistry between our main characters is undeniable. I love that the author took the time to really build the story before throwing our couple into a relationship. It was a much more enjoyable experience for me as the reader to be able to fully immerse myself into this fictional world and fall in love the characters myself before I had their love thrown in my face. It also made the desire for these two to finally get together almost unbearable but in the best way.

The ending was absolutely perfect. Specifically, the epilogue. Nothing upsets me more than a short and rushed epilogue.

The ending of this book left me completely satisfied. I didn’t even feel an ounce of regret or like I was needing more.

Ultimately, I loved this book. I loved that it made me fall in love and I love that it left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

I wouldn’t hesitate to read this one again.

I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a lighthearted rom-com. Especially if you are looking for something that has a lot of emotion and depth.

2.5 stars
I accepted the challenge of reading Mert Me At Midnight in bed at night next to a sleeping spouse. Instead of the anticipated chuckles and laughs, however, there were more eye rolls. Humor is often in the eye of the beholder and mine runs more to the sarcastic than over the top. I’ve enjoyed other books by the author(s), but I didn't find this one as funny. Sorry!
