🌌This is my first book by Monroe and it started off with a bang! Whoa! I knew a spicy hot wild ride was in store for me, but not this spicy! Beau and Juniper are an interesting pair. They sneak off and enjoy the passion and wily antics of forbidden love.
☄️Once they get to the hotel to enjoy a night alone, all hell breaks loose and it doesn’t go as planned. The spice spices up and the problems follow suit. I feel this story is well put together and the characters have flair. There are moments of love and passion, care, frustration and so many more emotions winding through this book. The secondary characters are full of life and important to the story.
🏨 I really liked the narrators, C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese. I thought they were spot on with how I thought the characters would sound. I am glad I read this book. I will definitely read more by Monroe. Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ARC of this book.

Best friend’s older brother? Billionaire romance? Sign me up! I absolutely loved this audiobook!
Juniper Perry has had a crush on Beau Banks for years like over a decade. But there are just a few problems. He’s her best friend’s older brother, her new next-door neighbor, and technically her boss. Talk about off-limits. But thanks to a little anonymity, she’s found a way to get close to him through their secret midnight chats. He has no idea she’s the one he’s been talking to night after night, and she’s determined to keep it that way. But secrets have a way of coming out, especially when feelings start getting way too real.
This book was so much fun! Juniper’s internal freak-outs were hilarious, and her chemistry with Beau was off the charts. And the way everything unfolds had me grinning and swooning all at once. The narrators, C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese, absolutely nailed it too! Making the story even more addictive. If you love a swoony, funny, and secretly pining romance with a touch of forbidden tension, this one's for you!

A Fun, Flirty, and Heartfelt Romance
Meet Me at Midnight is an engaging rom-com filled with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and just the right amount of emotional depth. Max Monroe delivers a charming enemies-to-lovers story with plenty of playful pranks, tension, and swoon-worthy moments.
The characters are well-developed, and their dynamic keeps the story entertaining. The slow-burn romance builds naturally, making the payoff all the more satisfying. While the humor and charm are definite highlights, some parts of the story felt a bit predictable, and a few moments dragged slightly. However, the engaging writing and lovable characters more than make up for it.
Overall, it's a delightful, feel-good read perfect for fans of lighthearted romance with a touch of mischief. Definitely worth picking up!

Okay, this could have been a good book, but boy, it had some weird characters. Let's talk FMC, no courage whatsoever. I get it you're scared of losing the one thing that's good in your life, but really a 10+ year crush. Get a grip. Beau is clueless and for a top exec not too smart. Avery, she's worthy of an asylum and some psychiatric help. She's pretty vile.
Narration was decent. It was eve. Great for most of it, but some parts were not good.

Juniper has had a crush on her best friend's brother, Beau for the longest time. When she starts interning at this father's company, she is thrilled at the chance to see him on a regular basis. When an anonymous app becomes available for her to chat with him, Juniper jumps at the chance. As the two become regular midnight chat buddies, Beau asks the question Juniper doesn't want to hear - when can they meet? I absolutely adored this book! It was sweet, funny and sexy. The audiobook was narrated extremely well and I had a ball listening to it.

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
Max Monroe never fails to crack me up with the antics their characters bring in their books. Think took me all the way back to the Georgia and Kline days a bit with a similar premise of hidden identity over a love match app and workplace relationship. Add in best friend’s brother and June and Beau are cooking. I loved their banter and how comfortable they are as June is a pseudo-member of the Banks family already. It was fun seeing their relationship morph from best friends brother/little sisters best friend to more. I will say, Avery, the best friend/little sister annoyed the hell out of me, and I’m sure that was on purpose. I can wait to see her wiley club hopping days be tamed in her upcoming story, or maybe they won’t since Henry is the adrenaline junkie. 😂😂
Alexander and CJ did amazing in this duet narration. I love how comfortable they seemed like they truly were June and Beau.

I received this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The narration was fine- nothing special and not my favorite narrators, but it was okay. I could tell who was talking and I do like dual narrators. The book itself was also fine. Nothing really noteworthy about it, a light easy read. The sister really grated on my nerves.

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

As a long-time Max Monroe reader, I was excited to see that they had a new release!
Meet Me at Midnight is about Juniper and Beau. She is his younger sister's best friend and has been around the family for over a decade, and if she's being honest with herself, she's loved him just as long.
Now they are both grown up, and she interns at her friend's family company, where he works, and her friend pretty much does nothing. Through a series of events, she finds out some important information she wants to share with him and decides to use a new anonymous app that the company is working with. Where will things go?
Junie's friend Avery gives big Alexis Rose vibes, and although the family is definitely enabling, they are also so very loving and a great support for Junie, whose parents are very MIA. I loved their dynamics, and I'm curious to see where things go with Avery.
The 3rd act conflict is sort of expected, but BLESSEDLY short. Overall, it's a fun read! Max Monroe are good with a down bad man, and this book is another example of that.
Trope check:
* Dual POV (Love a dual pov in contemporary! Characters can be in the dark about how others feel, but I certainly like to be in the know.)
* ”I’m in love with my best friend’s older brother”
* Secret, forbidden, off-limits romance (see above)
* Addicting Banter
* Forced Proximity (next-door neighbors)
* She falls first, but he falls harder
* Boss/Employee workplace romance (not an iffy power dynamics situation, though)
* Texting/S3xting
I was so excited when I realized the audiobook would be a duet narration! I wish more books were done this way. Sometimes, I'm taken out of audio when a narrator tries to do both male and female voices. Both narrators spoke clearly, and I could speed up the audio without issue.
Thanks to Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this audiobook for an honest review.

I was sooo excited about this book, I was so happy to get an advanced audio copy for this because the premise seemed so up my ally. But damn I was so disappointed in the execution. The FMC was just so unlikable, and don't even get me started on the friend.... This book was an example that saying over and over how obsessed the FMC is with the MMC doesn't actually make it believable. You have to actually show some yearning and some development of feelings for me to buy it. I really do not like insta-love
I think this book is somewhere between the 2 and 3 stars because I do think the story progression was pretty good and the texting was fun, but I also just truly didn't care for the characters so I cannot rate it any higher. I also just have a huge pet peeve when people talk about 13 year old's like they are adults now, so yea that didn't help. At least it was a nice quick listen while in a couple of hours.
Thank you so much for the advance audio copy, the narration was wonderful!

Thank you NetGalley for the ALC. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all opinions are my own.
Look, Max Monroe books are auto reads for me. I absolutely ate this up. I also adored the narration.
What I didn’t enjoy was the sister character 😭

This book hooked me in so quickly! I literally laughed out loud at parts and couldn't get enough. The narrator did a phenomenal job on this audiobook. I'll definitely be reading more books by Max Monroe.
I received a gifted copy. This review is honest and voluntary.

The audio version was AMAZING! I love this story just as much this time as the first time!
I love these authors, so. dang. much! Best friend's older brother? OMG YESSSS! Billionaire Romance EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Juniper Perry has just started her first adult job after college. She's working for her BFFs dad at his advertising agency. Her BFF works there too...well she shows up sometimes. In addition? Her forever crush, and her BFFs brother, also works there. When the company has the opportunity to create a campaign for what is sure to be an awesome new social media app things get crazy. It turns into a competition between Beau, the crush and BFFs brother, and his ex-best friend to see who can create the best campaign. Of course, ex-best friend starts scheming right away and when Juniper overhears him she invites Beau to a private Midnight chat to fill him in on what she has overheard while remaining anonymous. Things turn steamy though and now Beau wants to know who she is but how can she tell him? YEARS she has wanted him and YEARS he has not allowed him to see her that way.
I loved this book and I'm so excited to have had the opportunity to read and review it. HUGE thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe for this!

I hate to say it, but I simply didn’t connect with this book. I really didn’t care for the characters and found no desire to root for anyone. Sure, they had funny moments, but I didn’t feel any feels. Beau especially. He came off as a used car salesman to me. This was made worse by the male narrator of the audiobook. I was picturing him saying “bada bing, bada boom” and doing finger pew pews so many times. Also, the “parts;” which I later figured out was to indicate a POV switch, felt a little overkill. Didn’t love, didn’t hate - just didn’t connect.

I loved this book so much!! It was such a cute book and made me smile throughout its' entirety. The author's note in the beginning made me laugh, as she predicted I wouldn't be able to stop listening. I kept adding things to my "to do" list in order to keep listening.
Juniper has a crush on her best friend's brother and discovers a way to get to know him better with some flirting thrown in. There are fun text message threads and a few steamy scenes. I love the chemistry they had together. I was really sucked into the book and it flowed very well. I would happily read (listen) to more books about Beau Banks in the future!
The narration of this book was perfect! It was a duet style POV and the narrators fit the characters so beautifully. Their voices were distinct enough to differentiate the characters easily. They really brought this book to life! I found myself laughing out loud so many times, and even groaned during some of the more awkward parts.
This was my first Max Monroe book and I'm a new fan! I definitely recommend giving this a listen to. I will be adding it to my re-listen queue immediately!
I was given an ALC of the audiobook and could do nothing else but listen to this book for 8 hours straight! Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media and Max Monroe for the ALC.

A little cute, a little spicy, a little weirdly obsessive: Juniper + Beau. 100% annoying: Avery. Quick read, dual POV, great narrators.
Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for access to this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I was in a book slump after my last and needed something light and fun. This audiobook delivered exactly what I needed!
Let me first start off by thanking Max Monroe, Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for gifting me this ALC!
From the very first sentence I was laughing out loud! This book has so much banter! I couldn’t stop giggling and kicking my feet! C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese did such a great job narrating.
The tropes are everything you want in a RomCom!
•Best Friend’s Brother
•Forced Proximity (suddenly neighbors)
•Found Family
•Workplace Romance
•Childhood Crush
**Then they throw in Pride & Prejudice AND Love is Blind references….I’m SOLD♥️
Print is already available for this book and the audiobook is released March 4th. If you want a fun book, guaranteed to make you laugh and blush (there is some spice), go get this! You won’t be sorry!

Juniper has had a crush on her best friend's brother (Beau) since the moment she met his as a preteen. Too bad he thinks of her as a sister.
She just started a job at their family company after graduating college. One of Beau's rivals is trying to sabotage his project. So she uses the new dating app to send him a message anonymously. Soon, they are exchanging messages of a flirty nature. But what will happen when Beau finds out it is her?
I've enjoyed Max Monroe books in the past, but this one missed the mark. You never even get to know Beau (other than he is hot, rich, runs, and is career driven.) Like he narrates part of the book and you still don't know him. He is that bland.
Avery is one of the most unlikeable characters ever. She is a spoiled brat and every interaction with or about her is centered around this. Unlikeable characters need to be interesting so you don't hate them. She is not interesting. Just annoying.
Reviews about "meh" books are the hardest to write. This one's biggest problem- it is forgettable. And it is bad when you have the most feelings towards a secondary character. (Avery, and the feelings aren't good.)
C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese narrate the audiobook.
I received an advance audio copy in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a little tough for me. It felt like the authors were forcing a situation in order to write about Birkin bags and phone sex. The story didn’t flow naturally and the pretentiousness of the characters wasn’t as funny/lovable as the authors were hoping.

The title immediately piqued my interest because I'm a swiftie and love the Midnights album. I love the idea behind this story but the execution missed for me. I listened to this as an audiobook and with so much of the chapters being text conversations, it was kind of annoying. I absolutely loved that the audiobook is duet but I felt like the male voice actor talked a little fast and aggressive, which took away from any feeling Beau was trying to communicate. I think if I would have read the physical copy, it would be easier to digest.
I hate to hate on characters because I realize that there are so many different personalities in the world, but Avery killed my mood every single time she came into the conversation. Her lack of work ethic, the way she treats those around her… It didn't sit well with me. I hope she gets her own book with some amazing character growth.
Thank you Dreamscape Media & NetGalley for the ALC.
