Down on Me

J. Kenner — 2018

I’ve never had a problem getting women on my arm or in my bed. Except for Jenna Montgomery. She’s the woman I want. The woman I’ve craved my whole life. But she’s been my best friend since childhood, and that’s a line I can’t cross. Until one wicked night changes everything. Now all bets are off. And I’m determined to use every seductive skill in my repertoire to prove to Jenna that best friends can be lovers, too. Who’s Your Man of the Month? When a group of fiercely determined friends realize their beloved hang-out is in danger of closing, they take matters into their own hands to bring back customers lost to a competing bar. Fighting fire with a heat of their own, they double down with the broad shoulders, six-pack abs, and bare chests of dozens of hot, local guys who they cajole, prod, and coerce into auditioning for a Man of the Month calendar. But it’s not just the fate of the bar that’s at stake. Because as things heat up, each of the men meets his match in this sexy, flirty, and compelling binge-read romance series of twelve novels releasing every other week from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner. “With each novel featuring a favorite romance trope—beauty and the beast, billionaire bad boys, friends to lovers, second chance romance, secret baby, and more—this series hits the heart and soul of romance.” — New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips Each book is a STANDALONE romance with an HEA and an overarching story about the friends and the bar.

My Review:

This was such an interesting story. Its not my favorite J. Kenner. I am not sure if it was just the length or just that its a different type of story than what she normally writes, but it didn't quite hit the mark. But that doesn't mean it was a bad book or that I don't plan on continuing with the series. I think I struggled with the narrator that did these books. I think I will want to physically read these books moving forward. I did quite love the way in which this friends to lovers was implemented. It wasn't your average friends to lovers set up. What was interesting in this book was that neither of them saw this relationship coming until it was upon them. Most books I have read with this trope it has been the case of unrequited love. But in this one, it was mostly neither of them realizing it. And seeing them manuever their way in their relationship changing was fascinating. There is plenty of drama and angst though but I am intrigued by this group of friends and very eager to see more of these stories to be told.

Overall despite my issues with some of the drama, I still enjoyed my time with this one. It was a solid read and planning on picking up more of this series.
