Never Just Friends, Book 3

Leon

When I'm looking for a hookup, I want three things: big, thick, and rough. So it doesn't make sense that I can't get my new hire out of my head. He's a tiny guy with big ideas...and he's my apprentice, which means he's completely off-limits. But he's already under my skin. And for the first time with any guy, I don't think I can hold my own against him. Physically, yes. Emotionally, no.

Auggie makes me weak.

Auggie

Growing up, I always wanted to go into the family business and follow in Dad's footsteps. Until in my senior year of high school when he told me to find a new dream. No one would let a small, clumsy guy like me on a construction site. And after trying and failing for years, I was starting to believe him.

Then LJ Constructions calls me for an interview, and when I meet Leon, he becomes my new dream. He's hot as hell, self-made, and instead of putting me down, he sees what I've always seen in myself. But I'm not dumb enough to throw away this one chance, not even for him. Not even if I really, really want to.

Contains mature themes.

Love LOVE these guys

I love these characters. Love the fumbling and uncertainty. Love the nervousness giving way in fits and starts to confidence. They read as very real people. Makes the feelings so relatable.
Casting of these narrators for their respective characters was a good fit.
This one goes in the Feel Good and Listen Again categories for me.

Big and bold meets short and awkward

Not the same feels as books 1 and 2, but enjoyable. Book three has an outsider. I thought that was interesting. And poor Piper is still giving bad advice.

They were so cute!!

Auggie is my absolute spirit animal! I love him so much!! He’s one of those people that wiggles their way into other people’s lives! And they all love him for it! This was my favorite from the series so far!

Cute love, somewhat lackluster story

So overall, I liked this story. It was cute, and had some really adorable moments between the MC's. I liked the appearances of characters from the previous books in the series. I think the part I was disappointed with was the actual storyline. It seemed like certain things were a bit flip floppy, like for instance Auggies father. In the beginning he acts like Auggie is a complete disappointment, to the point where he doesn't want him working at his company. Then towards the end he says that Auggie is well overqualified for the job Leon gave him and offers him a great position at his own company, saying he's talented and deserves better than what Leon gave him. I guess you could say this is his father trying to control him and get him to move home and not work for his competition, but that's never actually pointed out. Wer're left believing his father actually means it, and that doesn't make sense when you take his previous statements into account.
I liked the actual romance part of the story and that's the main reason I liked the book. It definitely wasn't my favorite in the series, but it was a decent book overall. Per usual the narration was great, love this narrative duo!

Butterflies in my tummy

The was the cutest storyline ever. I really enjoyed it very much. The whole series is awesome as well as the narration. This particular storyline is my favorite thus far. I'm super curious to find out what's really going on with Raff though; So get to it Saxson James! :-)
