Editorial Reviews

Clevenger’s Three Reasons to Say Yes had three college friends: Julie, Kate and Mo. That book was about Julie finding her perfect partner. But there was all this barely conceal attraction and simmering sexual tension between Kate and Mo which left us wanting a book about those two. This is that book.


Kate Owens and Monique (Mo) Calloway shared a dorm room in college with Julie. The two were instantly attracted to each other but could never work up the nerve to approach the other, instead becoming best friends. Sixteen years have passed and now their friendship seems to be in peril too. Julie (the third roomie and BF to both) has a family-and-friends vacation planned with her two BFs, partner Reed and twin daughters. So Kate and Mo go to Cozumel, Mexico for the vacation and end up sharing a room.


The chemistry between the leads a popping. The attraction is palpable. All the banked fires, the angst, the tortured burning, the crackling electricity is almost tangible. When Kate and Mo kiss for the first time it is like we can finally exhale. The author does a great job with Kate’s personality, her insecurities and the relationship. We wish we knew what was going on with Mo too—but may have got too unwieldy for a single book. Maybe a Mo’s POV book at some later point in time?


We absolutely loved this book and wholeheartedly recommend it.


PS: Though this follows Three Reasons to Say Yes, it can be read standalone.

NetGalleyReviewer@Large

I really enjoyed this book, an immense amount. So the basic premise is that two women Monique (Mo) and Katelyn (Kate) have been best friends for sixteen years and each of them have been in love with the other since they met in college.

This book was excellent. I highly recommend it.
