Review-

I love reading Tessa Bailey's books because they are fun and sexy. While I had liked the first book in the Broke and Beautiful series I was really looking forward to Need Me. This is the second book and kinda has the forbidden student-teacher storyline. I have to say I really enjoyed myself while reading Need Me. It had everything I love in a good romance.

Honey is a student at Columbia University. She shares an apartment with Roxy and Abby and everything is going well according to plan in her life. Till she meets Ben who just so happens to be her English professor. I loved Honey. She was a sweet girl and I loved her determination to go for what she wanted. A five year age difference may not be much but it certainly matters where a student and teacher are concerned. And that is exactly what happens here.

Then we have Ben. Ben has just started off his career and he does not want to mess it up. Ben can see the off the charts chemistry he shares with Honey but he isn't going to do anything about it. Ben could be a real ass at times. But he could grovel and he admits when he's made a mistake. Ben also had issues due to his family which prevents him from believing in relationships.

Like all Tessa Bailey books, this one was hot. Ben and Honey were amazing together and I loved their banter. Even though Honey and Ben were opposites in many ways they were well matched and it showed as they got to know each other.

I also really liked seeing Roxy and Louis again. I loved the bromance Ben and Louis and Russell shared. I have to say I am SUPER excited for Make Me which is Abby's story. With minimum angst and loads of romance Need Me was a very enjoyable and light read.

Review- Make Me by Tessa Bailey

Summary-

Construction worker Russell Hart has been head-over-work boots for Abby Sullivan since the moment he laid eyes on her. But he knows a classy, uptown virgin like her could never be truly happy with a rough, blue-collar guy like him. If only she'd stop treating him like her personal hero—a role he craves more than oxygen—maybe he could accept it.

With the future of her family's hedge fund on her shoulders, Abby barely has time to sleep, let alone find love. And her best friend Russell acting like a sexy, overprotective hulk any time their Super Group goes out in public definitely isn't helping her single status. But after a near-tragedy lands Russell in her bed for the night, Abby's suddenly fantasizing about what he looks like shirtless. Chest hair and tattoos—who knew?

As Russell struggles to keep Abby at a safe distance, she begins to see through his tough-talking exterior—and acknowledge her own feelings. Now she's ready to turn the friend-zone into foreplay…and make him lose control.

Review-

Make Me is the last book in Tessa Bailey's Broke and Beautiful series. I have been following this series since the first book came out because I am such a huge Tessa Bailey fan and I have to say Make Me was my most anticipated read in the series. We had been getting hints about Abby and Russell since the first book but now we finally got the book. I have to say Make Me was a very good read and a satisfying end to the series.

Abby has always been a good girl. She works hard to keep her father's company afloat but she has never felt like she belonged until she met her flatmates and became best friends with them. The only person who makes her feel normal is Russel. I really loved Abby. She was a great heroine who was ready to take a chance with Russel. She just wanted him to love her but she was afraid of ruining their friendship.

Then we have Russell. Russell has been head over heels in love with Abby since the first moment he met her. But he's been friend zoned so he tries to friend zone her back. Plus the fact also remains that Russell thinks that he can never be good enough for Abby. I loved Russell's gruff nature. He was the rough to Abby's smooth. But Russell did take time getting his head out of his ass. You can get frustrated with him but his insecurities were genuine.

I loved the relationship Abby and Russell shared. They were best friends first even though they had undeniable chemistry. Tessa Bailey writes amazing steamy scenes and the ones in Make Me made me swoon. I do have to admit that I liked Abby a teeny bit more than Russell though. 

I also loved seeing the entire Super Group together. Louis and Roxy and Ben and Honey were so happy and in love. It was so cute seeing them completely smitten with each other yet supporting Russell and Abby. I have to say this has been a really fun series which I enjoyed reading. I am sad to see it end but I am looking forward to reading more from Tessa Bailey. Make Me was a solid 4 star read.

Review- Chase Me by Tessa Bailey

Summary-

College drop-out, Roxy Cumberland, moved to New York with dreams of becoming an actress, but her dwindling bank account is quickly putting the kibosh on that fantasy. To make some quick cash, she signs up to perform singing telegrams. Her first customer is a gorgeous, cocky Manhattan trust-funder if she ever laid eyes on one. And what could be more humiliating than singing an ode to his junk, courtesy of his last one night stand? Maybe the fact that she’s dressed in a giant, pink bunny costume...

After a night out to celebrate winning his last case, lawyer Louis McNally II isn’t prepared for the pounding in his head or the rabbit serenading him from the front door. But the sassy wit and sexy voice of the girl behind the mask intrigues him, and one look at her stunning face—followed by a mind-blowing kiss against his doorjamb—leaves Louis wanting more.

Roxy doesn’t need a spoiled rich boy who’s had everything in life handed to him on a Tiffany platter. But there’s more to Louis than his sexy surface and he’s determined to make Roxy see it...even if it means chasing her all over NYC. 

Review-

Okay, its a fact. I will read anything Tessa Bailey writes! Therefore, when Chase Me came out I got right to it. Chase Me is a new adult read and though it did have a few steamy scenes, they were toned down a little bit. This book had more of a cute vibe going on and I really did like it.

Roxy is a college drop out. She's trying her best to make her mark as an actress. She has had a lot of failures and is obviously going through a rough patch, but she knows she just has to push on. I really liked Roxy. She was a very realistic person who had to make ends meet. When she signs up to perform a singing telegram in a bunny costume she doesn't expect to find the very hot Louis.

Louis is a lawyer who works hard and plays harder. He is completely blown away by the girl on his door step dressed as a bunny and all he wants to do is know more about her. I loved how completely smitten Louis was by Roxy. They shared great banter and an even greater kiss and Louis is hooked. I loved how determined Louis was to pursue Roxy.

Roxy and Louis shared great chemistry. I loved all their conversations. Roxy and Louis essentially came from two different worlds. Roxy was struggling to make ends meet whereas Louis was working as a successful lawyer. Their financial differences were evident but that never stopped Louis even though it made insecurities pop up in Roxy.

I also loved Roxy's new room mates and Louis' friends. I am really hoping they pair up with each other because each of them is so vastly different from the other. It would make great combinations with a good dose of opposites attract. With minimum angst and sweet romance Chase Me was a good read.
