Just Say Yes

By: Lena Hendrix

Narrated by: CJ Bloom, Ryan Hudson

Getting tangled up with an Olympic rugby player seems like the perfect way to forget about how my life is falling apart. Until I discover he’s my ex-boyfriend’s best friend.

Logan Brown walked into my small town with a charming grin and mischief in his eyes. He’s a world-class flirt and his confident masculinity is almost as distracting as those rugby thighs.

Given my inexperienced history, I’m no match for our undeniable chemistry. I vow to keep him at arm’s length. But with Logan, every lingering stare—every forbidden touch—awakens something inside of me I thought I had buried for good.

We both know we shouldn’t cross that line, but I have spent my entire life being a good girl, and suddenly I’m tempted to be very, very bad.

Especially when Logan tells me to just say yes.

Just Say Yes Thoughts

⭐️ 3.5 ⭐️

I was super excited to finally get MJ’s story and see her get her long awaited happy ending. However, something about her and Logan’s story just didn’t hit right for me. Unfortunately, it felt a bit thrown together randomly to finish the entire series. I wish the MMC had been a character we got crumbs of throw out the entire series. In my opinion, that dynamic would have been more fun.

Tropes:
- ex’s best friend
- rugby player MMC
- frenemies to lovers
- forbidden
- small town

Fantastic ending to this series!

I can not tell you how sad I am that this series is over and I officially have to say goodbye to Outtatowner! The Kings have been incredible but MJ's story was just the perfect ending that we needed!

I have adored MJ's character throughout this whole series and even in the Sullivan series. To see her shine in her own book was everything I needed! Her character growth from was incredible and she grew into who she was and the way that she stood up for herself at the end!! GAH!! It was perfect and I was rooting for her so hard! Now Logan. My man Logan! He was sweet and funny and protective and I loved him so much! His love for MJ was so real and the way he stood up for her and protected her was perfection! These two were amazing together. Logan was patient and kind and would have waited forever for MJ. The chemistry was so good and the spice was just right! I also freaking LOVED the way they met! This story had me swooning, laughing, and tearing up at the grand gesture in the end!! This series was perfection!

AUDIO: This was narrated by Ryan Hudson and CJ Bloom and both were equally amazing! They both brought the humor and chemistry to this story and I loved listening to it! I was hanging on every word!

Just Say There is More...

This is part 5 of an interconnected series (Just this Once, Just My Luck, Just Between Us, and Just Like That) that also intertwines with (One Look, One Touch, One Night and One Taste). Both story lines take place in a small town that continues to deliver to the swoon, mystery and of course a guaranteed happy ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed the main character MJ and was so glad to see that she too got her own book. This storyline did not disappoint and was the slow burn romance that I didn't know I needed. MJ and Logan's meet cute was laugh out loud funny and which drove their banter throughout the whole book.

You can read this as a standalone but highly recommend reading the rest of the series first!

Tropes:
Inexperienced FMC
Self Discovery
Frenemies to Lovers
Possessive MMC
Ex's Best Friend

Also, I absolutely loved the narrators! CJ Bloom is my absolute favorite female narrator and paired very well with Ryan Hudson!
