Thank you so much to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was ok but nothing spectacular. I expected more from the story and characters overall. It was a fast read but brought nothing to the romance/rom-com/NA genre beyond that.

I had to DNF this one. It started out so slow and I felt no chemistry between the characters. Because this is a over done trope and plot, there has to be something to set this book apart. Unfortunately I didn’t feel like there was any redeeming qualities.

A librarian, a mentor, and an unexpected connection in this quick fast read.

Sometimes the obvious will surprise you.

Looking forward to more from this must read author.

New young librarian meets hot older teacher....FIREWORKS. This is the book in one sentence. This was a good quick little read with a little bit of spice thrown in.
Talia King has just graduated college and gotten a job at her schools library. Of course this is her dream job because this is what she worked to hard for
Maxwell Radclyffe is a teacher in the Psychology Department, Human Sexuality, and also had his own private practice. He is well known in campus with the ladies.
On Talia's first day these two in up having a bit of a run in to which they have no idea who each other is. Talia has to team up with a senior member of the faculty and low and behold Maxwell is hers. Of course they don't hit if off right away because they could not be more different. Talia receives a mysterious text message from someone that she doesn't know and wow the text is a juicy one. Talia immediately shuts it down and tries to move on from said message. It keeps eating at her and messages do in fact keep coming. So she decides to play along with her mysterious texter.
The attraction between Talia and Maxwell comes very quickly and they soon figure out that they are texting each other.
This book does have super sweet romantic parts to it and I did enjoy reading it. I would recommend this one who likes some spicy in there books that is not overly done.

I would like to thank NetGallery and Random House Publishing Group-Loveswept for the ARC of this book in exchange for my review

This was my first book by Evie Claire and it was pretty OK. The story is about a librarian, Talia, and a sexy professor, Max., who end up sexting each other but yet they don’t know that they are and of course there’s a sexual chemistry between the two on campus and off campus. To be honest, I actually thought there would be way more sexting and perhaps a couple more sex scenes coz the book is under the erotica genre. I think there could have been more room for the relationship between the two to develop a little more. The ending for me was a little abrupt. Three stars from me!

Thank you NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

Loved this, the writing style worked for me and kept me reading straight through the whole thing.
My only qualm was the later conflict in the book when she <spoiler> feels abandoned by him because he thought he was texting someone else. That's hypocritical because she <i> also </i> thought she was texting someone else. And how was she abandoned? He's <i> right there </i> and <i> she's </i> the one that ran lol. </spoiler>
Aside from that, it was a very entertaining quick read and I'd definitely pick up more from the author.

2.75 stars rounded up because there were some candid, meaningful interactions between Max and Talia that almost convinced me to invest myself in the outcome of their romance.

Maxwell was an interring character to get to know. A human sexuality professor, Max is not shy about his sexual desires and doesn't shy away from them, until he gets the hots for the new, sexy University librarian.

Fresh from graduation, Talia is trying to adjust to this new chapter in her life, like she's adjusted to everything in her life--with fierce determination to succeed. Shy on the surface but curious to explore more outside her academic life, Talia is immediately attracted to her older faculty mentor.

As stories go, this wasn't an epic love story. I loved Max and his charming ways, but in truth I couldn't see him noticing Talia or pursuing anything with her beyond a casual fling. I could sense their attraction for each other, but I didn't really get a sense for the connection that would bring about a lasting relationship.

Evie Claire is a new-to-me author so I did go into the story with any expectations. The writing was okay, although for a book titled Sext with Me, the sexting exchanged were few and far between and when they happened it was more awkward than sexy. I would have rather have a bit more mystery in the texting and have more of the detailed, passionate sex when Max and Talia actually got together. Ultimately, when the sex did actually occur, it felt a little lacking after all that anticipation.

There were other issues the characters had to deal with throughout the story that didn't gel with me very well. I understand that Talia's experience with her mother shaped her into the person she was today, but all the drama and inner monologue she kept having didn't really add anything to the story that wasn't already mentioned before. Truthfully, I found myself skimming through parts of it because, although these event were happening at the time, the point had already been established and didn't need to be hashed further. I got it, Talia had Mommy issues that cause her to make bad decisions early on, but that ultimately helped her become the independent, determined if emotionally stunted, closed off person she became. Yeah, I didn't like her very much.

As for Max, he was a handsome older bachelor dealing with his own emotional baggage. His parents' relationship and lack of attention in his formative years left him completely aloof when it came to emotional entanglements. He knew all about the physical, what the body needed and how good it felt to give into his carnal desires. So it was kind of fun to see him so affected by a woman he could not pursue if only because he was so confused by all the emotions he was having when in the past he was led only by the physical aspects of being with a woman.

All in all, this was not a bad story, it just wasn't for me.

I received a complimentary copy of Sext with Me in exchange for an honest review. This was a unique read for sure. I thought the author did a great job introducing the "Sexting" and set this book up with some great conflict. It was a love hate read for me, and there were several parts where I just lost interest, but then I'd get sucked back in with the chemistry between Taila and Max. Definitely a neutral read, and a book that I wouldn't encourage or discourage from reading.

This is a light hearted and fun read. Given the title though, I expected there to be more sexting than was acutally in the book.

I will always go for a wrong number book! I loved the way anonymity made Talia let herself relax and say whatever she wanted. Her and Maxwells relationship was naughty but sweet the way it evolved.

Thank you Random House Publishing and NetGalley for providing this preview in exchange for my honest review.
Sext with Me is the title of this book, and the main characters sext maybe three times…? Um, that doesn’t work for me.
We have Talia King who is started a new job in the special section of an all-girls university library. She is shy, quiet, and lacks self-confidence. She lives with her grandmother because her mom never wanted to be a mom and left her.
Then we have Maxwell Radclyffe who is the Human Sexuality professor and head of the psychology department. Maxwell is confident, charming (I guess), and talked about for his sexual prowess a lot.
The two are paired up when Max becomes Talia’s mentor. The sexual tension is too much for these two and sex ensues. Oh, and there’s a couple texts with some sexy talk.
I lost interest in these two pretty early on. I wish I could say something nice but this one was not for me.

Sext With Me is the third book in the Let's Talk About Sext series by Evie Claire. A sexy fast-paced romance that is full of drama and steamy chemistry. Heat, passion, mistakes, and regrets run the gambit but the chemistry is flaming. A real entertaining read!

A real fun read, quiet librarian Talia is newly hired at the school she just graduated from, she's ready to start her new life what she wasn't expecting was drawing the eye of hottest professor, one known for knowing his was around the bedroom, after all he's the department chair. Talia has many hangups, lots of reasons for her wanting to start over and do well and when Max comes in she's got a whole lot of feelings she knows she shouldn't be feeling. Max tried to resist Talia's charms but attraction can prove too strong. Heat, passion, mistakes and regrets run the gambit but the chemistry is flaming. A real entertaining read!

I lost interest in this pretty quickly. I thought a sexy college faculty story would be fun but this was just boring.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for the eARC of Sext With Me by Evie Claire. This is my honest and voluntary review.

There were parts I liked and parts I didn't like.

The things I liked; I laughed a few times, I enjoyed the sexting parts (though they were few and far between), and I liked the relationship dynamic - older man/younger (legal) woman.

What I didn't like; Talia King - she was not my kind of character, her character was confusing - very shy and reserved then quite naughty then reserved again and her maturity level was annoying for an adult relationship.

Overall I'm giving this one 2.5☆

The book starts with you meeting both characters. Professor or Doctor Radclyffe teaches about human sexuality and then Talia King who is a new Liberian having just graduated. Now after an awkward meeting or run into the hall the characters from there are meant to be together for they are put together in other means as well. It is after these few meetings and him receiving a second phone that the sexting begins. It does not last very long before they meet and realize what had happened.
Wanting to be with him Talia finds herself drawn to him and also finds herself helping his mother when she has her own issues with her own mother. He on the other hand is not nor ever has looked for love so will he know it when it strikes. Both of these characters have issues from there pasts that they need to work out. When you get to the end though I liked it I wish there was a little more before his last words. Overall, I liked the book.

Professor Maxwell Radclyffe is no stranger to great sex. As a human sexualities professor, he’s intimately familiar with the carnal desires that drive . . . well, everyone. Stressed to the max and needing a little release, he casually sends a steamy message to a former hookup who prefers no-strings-attached fun, too. Or so he thinks. . . .

As the university's newest librarian, Talia King is ready to turn the page and start another chapter in her life. When she gets a sext from an unknown number, she wants to try something wild for once. But when she realizes who’s on the other end, she may just have to put her heart on the line. . . .

I really enjoyed this quick and steamy read! I liked the relationship that grew between Max and Talia. Great writing and story telling by the author.

I loved this book.. I generally don't like the point of view but it seemed very easy to follow. I hope to see what happens with the other characters in the book.
