Did I pick this based on the title? 1000% (Swifties, you understand, Meet Me at Midnight).

I went in totally blind, had 0 idea what this was going to be like and I was not disappointed.

The first chapter I was LAUGHING so hard. Ugh got to love it.

Forbidden romance, best friend's brother, she fell first, all the vibes.

I absolutely loved all the snippets of the past and present, and the future. I hope there is another book because Avery deserves to have her story too.

Such an easy light, fun romance read.

Thank you NetGalley and Max Monroe for my DRC!

This book is a slow burn. I loved the relationship between Juniper and Avery, there were a lot of laugh out loud moments between them. The crush that Juniper has on Avery's brother Beau is so sweet, especially the way that she recalls the way she has always felt about him over the years. I loved the dual POV, and watching the relationship grow. Great book, can't wait to read Avery's book next. I love Max Monroe's books and will be reading more of them.

I loved this story about Juniper and Beau and their families. The connection between the two was amazing and Beau was absolutely the best book boyfriend and is unforgettable. The forbidden romance and best friend’s brother’s trope was a good one and was hilarious at times. You will not want to put this book down!

“Thunderstruck has entered the chat.”

First things first, I have loved Max Monroe before we ever even knew who they were. Their books are always so fun. This one does NOT disappoint.

I absolutely loved the idea of the Midnight app. In the days of the Love is Blind rage, an app where you can date and meet someone without seeing them first sounds pretty cool.

The chemistry between June and Beau was off the charts. I loved both characters, their banter, their personalities, etc. And Avery?! I need more of Avery asap! (Which is lucky for me because her book is next 😉)

If you want a funny, lighthearted, easy read, please check this one out. Probably my favorite Max Monroe read so far.

I'm not going to lie, I saw the title of this book, was reminded of Taylor Swift, and requested it without reading further/with no real knowledge going in as to what it was about. And by some stroke of luck, I wasn't disappointed. This is a brother's best friend romance, and it feels like an adult version of A Cinderella Story. Beau and Juniper's story is so cute, and I loved that we got snippets of their past in addition to their present-day timeline to see what made her so head over heels for him. The one thing that didn't make sense was HIS initial attraction to her. I don't really understand what made him into her, as I feel like she was doing him a favor by warning him about his coworker stealing his ideas, and he had no idea who she was/there wasn't really anything romantic happening between them, but then BAM he started magically pursuing her? He was interested in the mystery of who she was rather than HER... regardless in the end it all worked out and I love their love for each other. I'm also super invested in Avery x Henry and am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series! Thanks Netgalley for the e-ARC!

Ahhhh! What an ending! I loved this book. June & Avery are besties, but June has a secret. She’s in love with Avery’s older brother Beau! With the help of an anonymous dating app June is able to let him know…
I LOVED the found family aspect of this book! I just LOVED all the Banks Family! I hope Avery gets her happily ever after too! I would say that the app texting went from friendly to naughty pretty quickly. But other than that this book was a delight!

3.5 stars rounded up. I binged this book in about a day and a half. I loved the romance / smutty aspects of this book and I think that’s what kept me sucked in. However I didn’t like the relationship between the FMC and her insufferable best friend, or the portrayal of the FMC’s relationship with her parents.

For over a decade, Juniper Perry had been keeping a secret. She had a humongous crush on her best friend’s brother Beau Banks. After she started as an intern at his father’s advertising agency, where he was a high level executive, she found a way to talk and flirt with him through an anonymous chat. They got closer as they chatted night after night, but her best friend didn’t know she had formed an unusual relationship with her brother and neither did he. Meet Me At Midnight by Max Monroe is a sexy new stand-alone novel that is currently in the top 100 in the Kindle store. This was a cute, funny, adorable romantic comedy about two people falling in love, one sight unseen. Juniper was juggling so many feelings and fears that she had to overcome in order to let Beau know who she was. It was even harder to share their relationship with her best friend and her parents, who had been more like parents to her than her own. I loved Beau’s unwavering support of Juniper, first as a friend and then as a boyfriend. He is the perfect book boyfriend. Both characters were incredibly likable and relatable. Juniper’s best friend, Avery, adds so much comic relief with her offbeat personality and I cannot wait to read her book! Readers who enjoy romantic comedy with:

I would like to thank Netgalley and Hambright PR for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

3.5 stars. This was a fast, super cute read! Workplace romance, best friend's brother, forced proximity. I really enjoyed the idea of the Midnight app, and I did like how June kind of uses that for her benefit, even though she wasn't really planning on it going the way it went. I was a little thrown off with some of the text conversations, considering that Beau is a higher up in his company, and he had LITERALLY NO IDEA who he was texting. I love the best friend's brother trope, but man, did the best friend bother me. Avery needs a reality check, and I hope she gets that in her book. Overall, if you are looking for a quick, easy read, I would suggest picking this one up!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc.

In this book, June has had a secret crush on her best friend’s brother Beau. June is shy and doesn’t tell Beau that she has a crush on him but connects with him through a dating app. They make a fast connection but. Way has no idea that he is talking to June.

As always, there is a lot of humor by Max Monroe, while presenting with lovable and relatable characters.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ♾️(5/5♾️) / 🌶️🌶️🌶️

“My boss has been a cat for a full three minutes, and I’m starting to wonder if the zoom app will ever be pussy-free again .”

“Does she love her kids? Does she never stop?” Love the Reba reference perfect comedic timing

“ThunderStruck has entered the chat.” 🍆🍩

I adore Max Monroe books. The chemistry between the characters, the drama, the spice, the sexual tension, the witty banter…it’s everything I need in a romcom. I could seriously go on and on.

This one sucked me in immediately and I was totally invested in Juniper and Beau from start to finish. It has a fast yet even pacing and I had the hardest time putting this book down.

Here are some things to expect in this one…

🌃Miami Club Scene
🌜Party Girl / Fiercely loyal bestie
🌃Best friends older brother romance
🌜Workplace romance
🌃Secret admirer (1 sided)
🌜Secret Romance
🌃Found family
🌜Vile Ex and Ex Bestie

I’ll read anything that the dynamic Max Monroe duo writes!

This book has secured its spot in my top all time top fav romcom elite. My other top fav is Christina Lauren’s Dating You / Hating You. I’m not much of a re-reader but for my top elite fav romcoms, I would totally reread them.

Also this one has me holding on to hope for an Avery / Henry sequel.

I absolutely adore Max Monroe! These books are always so laugh out loud funny. The quick wit will always keep me coming back for more and this one did not disappoint!

This story started off really well, but I could not get into it. The pace was a bit slow for me and i could but relate to the main characters at all. However, there is good chemistry and banter. Overall it's a sweet workplace romance. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy secret forbidden workplace romances.

This book was surprisingly delightful! I was initially worried because the two main characters, Juniper and Beau both come from extremely wealthy families and thought maybe they would be vapid or shallow. I’m happy to admit I was wrong! They are both seeking connection to real life - family, meaningful relationships, and a job they work hard at and enjoy. Beau is the older brother of Juniper’s best friend and she’s been crushing on him for years. When an opportunity to meet him online anonymously arises, she takes it and it allows her to show Beau a side of herself he’s never seen before.
I liked the way the book was laid out - dual perspective, but in parts rather than alternating chapters. It allows the reader to spend a bit more time with the characters between their POVs.
The story had spice, but also had other necessary things in a good novel - storyline, character growth, solid cast of friends and family and a subplot.
Overall, a 3.5 stars, rounded up!

I enjoyed this book a lot! It had me cackling at “a wet pussycat” within 5 minutes of starting the book! The tropes were top tier especially the office romance and found family. The app was a good staple in the book and I loved it! The line of night clubs were never ending and Avery was all for it and never skipped a beat! THE BANTER between the two was hot to handle! Definitely one of my new favorites!

I LOVED this book. As soon as I read the authors note, I knew this was going to have me laughing the whole time. I was so invested in our main characters, June and Beau. Their chemistry was on fire and I loved their flirty banter.

One thing I didn’t LOVE was Avery, June’s best friend. She came off way too… much. Too spoiled, too self-involved, too entitled. Can’t say I would continue the series if it was her story next.

Overall, I really enjoyed this. It was a fun, fast and easy read.

Meet me at Midnight is a standalone RomCom book.

Juniper has a secret, she’s been in love for the past 10 years…with her best friends brother Beau, and he also happens to be a top exec at the PR firm his dad owns, which Juniper and Avery are now interns at.

The firm are given the task of trialling the new anonymous social media app “Midnight” and have to put together a campaign add for the client. Beau and his ex best friend Seth are given the opportunity to build their own team and campaign for the client. Juniper finds out that Seth is stealing Beau’s work, so she takes to Midnight to inform Beau of this. She realises this is anonymous and they begin to forge a relationship out with their real life friendship…

The book was a nice easy read, it had some spice, a little banter and a few cringey moments that made me laugh out loud.
The aspect of a one sided anonymous conversation was interesting and I thought the found family story line was cute.
Juniper seemed unhinged with her obsession over Beau and Avery came across as a spoiled entitled brat.
Beau and Juniper’s relationship seemed to go from friends to 100 pretty fast but overall I liked the book, it was good and was a palate cleanser between fantasy books.


Overall I would give the book:
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Thanks to NetGallery & Max Monroe for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Juniper has been in love with Beau since she was 11 years old. Beau thinks of Juniper as his younger sister’s best friend. Until fate puts them together at work. They end up getting to know each other and realize there might be more than friendship between them. Will Beau be able to get past the fact he’s always seen Juniper as his younger sister’s best friend? Can Juniper see past the fact that this relationship might hurt her friendship with his sister?

This is a very sweet friends to lovers story. It is a sweet journey with Juniper always knowing how she feels and Beaus having to grow into the feelings. They are both nice people and respect each other’s feelings. I understand why they were concerned about telling his family, specifically his sister, since his family had kind of adopted Juniper as one of their own. If the new found relationship goes bad it could damage that family relationship. BTW, Midnight is a new dating app that Beau needs to create an advertising campaign for. He is competing with another member of the team at work. It was a believable part of the story. There is kind of a bad guy but it’s more of a friend turned enemy type thing.

If you are looking for a love story between two adults with a lot to lose if things go wrong, this might be the book you are looking for. I really enjoyed it and I will read more from this author in the future.

This was a really enjoyable read by an author I hadn’t read before but would definitely read more.
Admittedly, I’m probably a little older than the target audience but I still thought it was a good read. From the off limits brother of her best friend to the secret texting between “strangers,” the tropes worked. The friendships and relationships were lots of fun and brought it all together.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC ebook!

I could not stop laughing from the very beiginning! Neil and the pussycat!!!!! June is so quick witted and funny (unless she is standing in front of Beau). June had been pining after Beau for the last decade only problem is, he is her best friends brother. It took them "Meeting at Midnight" for Beau to see a different side of June and to see her in a new light.

I loved the texting exchange between Beau and June on the Midnight app. Think of Love is Blind if it was virtual.

I even loved the group of side characters. Avery is a little spit fire but she owns it!! Beau's friends have absolutely zero filters. I cannot wait for the next book!!

PS: Beau is definitely my new book boyfriend.
