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 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!

hot damn

I have to say that I love MJ's story it's surprised me because well I just as a character I really wasn't invested in her like I was some of the other things but I really loved her story it's a story where the woman feels very insecure from past things that have happened and how she matures it's it's a great story and the male oh boy Mr Logan Brown he is hot like no other he is the perfect man I don't in athlete well built polite kind considerate and I think he's my new book boyfriend the way he's described in the story and presented in the story is just woo hot and I will say that the male narrator someone that I haven't really and not overly familiar with so he's newer to me he played him perfect like absolutely perfect he did an astounding job I just was very impressed with his narration well and I as far as the female CJ blue I love CJ boom she can do no wrong I've always loved her performances she does so well always elevates the story but it was really the male character the male narrator for me who just put the story over the top he did such a good job I can tell you I highly highly recommend the story even if you don't do any of the other kings this story could easily be done all by itself and is worth listening to trust me

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
