Cole is now a confident, laid-back attorney who’s even hotter than he used to be. He’s planning to stay single while working his way up the corporate ladder – until he’s knocked off course by a chance run-in with Emma.
Everything is different between Cole and Emma now. He finally sees her in a way she only dreamed of, and their hot chemistry is fueled by a growing friendship. But Emma’s deception of her sister – who wants Cole for herself – and the secret Cole’s been keeping for more than a decade threaten to tear apart what’s only just begun. Because sometimes the only thing standing in the way of now is then.

My Review:
And don’t even get me started on the characters. The main couple were phenomenal. I loved that they weren’t perfect, but were perfect for each other. They were thoroughly developed in all their brilliance and deficiencies. The supporting cast was also quite well developed. I came to love them and feel like part of their families by the end.
Overall, this was a brilliant read that I would definitely read again. I can’t wait to delve further into this series and get to know the rest of the characters more intimately.

Synopsis from Goodreads:
Ben’s caught off-guard when the sexy, outspoken attorney turns him on and then turns him down. But the confident former Marine knows he can handle the simple seduction of a beautiful woman. He finds Layla’s weak spot – competition, which he happens to share – and challenges her to a game that could make them, or destroy them.
As they compete to crown the master of seduction, Ben and Layla discover there’s more to their game than power and foreplay. But as the stakes go up, they realize the game has changed, and they both stand to lose more than they bargained for.

My review:
In this instalment in her ‘Now’ series Rothert picks up one of the characters that we met briefly and continued to develop her into a brilliant main character. She casts her opposite a strong, alpha male that you can’t help but love. I appreciate how these two characters aren’t perfect yet are individuals who try their best to be the best version of themselves that they can be. The supporting cast that we see in this novel serves to highlight certain aspects of the story as well as to provide deeper detail into the relationship between these two phenomenal leads.
One thing that I really love about this novel is the fact that you can read it as a standalone novel or as something that flows seamlessly from the previous novel. Rothert has created a remarkable, realistic world for readers to immerse themselves in. I definitely recommend it to one and all.
