This story started off really well, but I could not get into it. The pace was a bit slow for me and i could but relate to the main characters at all. However, there is good chemistry and banter. Overall it's a sweet workplace romance. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy secret forbidden workplace romances.

This book was surprisingly delightful! I was initially worried because the two main characters, Juniper and Beau both come from extremely wealthy families and thought maybe they would be vapid or shallow. I’m happy to admit I was wrong! They are both seeking connection to real life - family, meaningful relationships, and a job they work hard at and enjoy. Beau is the older brother of Juniper’s best friend and she’s been crushing on him for years. When an opportunity to meet him online anonymously arises, she takes it and it allows her to show Beau a side of herself he’s never seen before.
I liked the way the book was laid out - dual perspective, but in parts rather than alternating chapters. It allows the reader to spend a bit more time with the characters between their POVs.
The story had spice, but also had other necessary things in a good novel - storyline, character growth, solid cast of friends and family and a subplot.
Overall, a 3.5 stars, rounded up!

I enjoyed this book a lot! It had me cackling at “a wet pussycat” within 5 minutes of starting the book! The tropes were top tier especially the office romance and found family. The app was a good staple in the book and I loved it! The line of night clubs were never ending and Avery was all for it and never skipped a beat! THE BANTER between the two was hot to handle! Definitely one of my new favorites!

I LOVED this book. As soon as I read the authors note, I knew this was going to have me laughing the whole time. I was so invested in our main characters, June and Beau. Their chemistry was on fire and I loved their flirty banter.

One thing I didn’t LOVE was Avery, June’s best friend. She came off way too… much. Too spoiled, too self-involved, too entitled. Can’t say I would continue the series if it was her story next.

Overall, I really enjoyed this. It was a fun, fast and easy read.

Meet me at Midnight is a standalone RomCom book.

Juniper has a secret, she’s been in love for the past 10 years…with her best friends brother Beau, and he also happens to be a top exec at the PR firm his dad owns, which Juniper and Avery are now interns at.

The firm are given the task of trialling the new anonymous social media app “Midnight” and have to put together a campaign add for the client. Beau and his ex best friend Seth are given the opportunity to build their own team and campaign for the client. Juniper finds out that Seth is stealing Beau’s work, so she takes to Midnight to inform Beau of this. She realises this is anonymous and they begin to forge a relationship out with their real life friendship…

The book was a nice easy read, it had some spice, a little banter and a few cringey moments that made me laugh out loud.
The aspect of a one sided anonymous conversation was interesting and I thought the found family story line was cute.
Juniper seemed unhinged with her obsession over Beau and Avery came across as a spoiled entitled brat.
Beau and Juniper’s relationship seemed to go from friends to 100 pretty fast but overall I liked the book, it was good and was a palate cleanser between fantasy books.


Overall I would give the book:
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Thanks to NetGallery & Max Monroe for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Juniper has been in love with Beau since she was 11 years old. Beau thinks of Juniper as his younger sister’s best friend. Until fate puts them together at work. They end up getting to know each other and realize there might be more than friendship between them. Will Beau be able to get past the fact he’s always seen Juniper as his younger sister’s best friend? Can Juniper see past the fact that this relationship might hurt her friendship with his sister?

This is a very sweet friends to lovers story. It is a sweet journey with Juniper always knowing how she feels and Beaus having to grow into the feelings. They are both nice people and respect each other’s feelings. I understand why they were concerned about telling his family, specifically his sister, since his family had kind of adopted Juniper as one of their own. If the new found relationship goes bad it could damage that family relationship. BTW, Midnight is a new dating app that Beau needs to create an advertising campaign for. He is competing with another member of the team at work. It was a believable part of the story. There is kind of a bad guy but it’s more of a friend turned enemy type thing.

If you are looking for a love story between two adults with a lot to lose if things go wrong, this might be the book you are looking for. I really enjoyed it and I will read more from this author in the future.

This was a really enjoyable read by an author I hadn’t read before but would definitely read more.
Admittedly, I’m probably a little older than the target audience but I still thought it was a good read. From the off limits brother of her best friend to the secret texting between “strangers,” the tropes worked. The friendships and relationships were lots of fun and brought it all together.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC ebook!

I could not stop laughing from the very beiginning! Neil and the pussycat!!!!! June is so quick witted and funny (unless she is standing in front of Beau). June had been pining after Beau for the last decade only problem is, he is her best friends brother. It took them "Meeting at Midnight" for Beau to see a different side of June and to see her in a new light.

I loved the texting exchange between Beau and June on the Midnight app. Think of Love is Blind if it was virtual.

I even loved the group of side characters. Avery is a little spit fire but she owns it!! Beau's friends have absolutely zero filters. I cannot wait for the next book!!

PS: Beau is definitely my new book boyfriend.

💜This story embraces a delightful yet classic trope. Max and Monroe excel at crafting witty text exchanges.

Here’s what I enjoyed:

- Beau is just an all-around great guy.
- Juniper is instantly likable.
- The way Beau and Avery’s parents essentially adopt Juni highlights the idea that family isn’t just about blood relations.

What didn’t resonate with me:

- Avery comes off as excessively portrayed as a spoiled, entitled princess who everyone bends over backward for. While she might have a heart of gold she will expect platinum.

I breezed through this book in one sitting and would definitely recommend "Meet Me at Midnight" if you're in the mood for a quick, entertaining read. 💜

Thank you Max & Monroe and Netgalley for the advance digital copy. I appreciate the opportunity to read and review. All thoughts are my own.

First of all, thank you Netgalley and Max Monroe for the ARC! It was such a surprise in my email. This was my first novel by Max Monroe and it definitely did not disappoint. If you are looking for a cute and fun read, look no further. I flew through this book. I loved Beau and Juni’s chemistry! I am a sucker for clever banter and text messages throughout a novel. I will definitely be picking up more novels by this author!

There are certain rules and tropes for a romance novel. And right away, this book skipped many of them and told a non-formula story. It was fun to have a different premise and the story never went where I thought it was going to, Too bad as much creativity wasn't used in the creation of characters- they were so stock, the only thing different was they were super rich instead of poor. The main female character who has no confidence and the totally perfect male lead. And the world's worst best friend.
Also would not end! One epilogue could have done.

4.5 stars - I laughed so hard reading this book!

Meet Me At Midnight was packed with so much humor that my cheeks still hurt--and a word of advice, be careful what you eat or drink while reading this one!

The story brilliantly combined several beloved tropes, and anyone who's ever nursed a crush on their BFF's older brother will adore the You've Got Mail vibe women throughout.

June and Beau's flirty banter was absolutely addictive, and I couldn't get enough of their chemistry. I'm excited that Avery's story is next--hopefully, it'll give her a chance to mature by then.

This was such a delightful change of pace after Max Monroe's last book, which had me emotionally reeling for weeks, but I'm a glutton for all the feels and laughter, so they can write no wrong.

Juniper has had a crush on her best friend's older brother, Beau since she met him. Now that she has graduated from college and works with him at his dad's marketing company, it seems like a dream come true. Beau and his former best friend Seth compete to create an ad campaign to win over an app company by creating a new ad for their latest messenger app, "Meet Me at Midnight." Juniper overhears Seth trying to get information on Beau's ad campaign. Not sure how to tell him, Juniper uses the "Meet me at Midnight" app's feature to keep her anonymous and let Beau know about Seth snooping around. Using "Meet Me at Midnight," she discovers that she can talk to Beau about things she never dared to do before. Beau is intrigued by this new Mystery Woman and determined to discover who she is—not knowing that he has known her for years and that she is his sister's best friend. Juniper loves Beau but does not want to ruin her friendship or lose the only family that has been there for her over the years. Beau does not want to lose the connection he has found. I loved this book! A perfect example of she falls first, he falls harder. This book left me with a smile that lasted long after I finished the last chapter. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I received an Arc copy for an honest review. I want to extend a big Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe. #MeetMeAtMidnight #NetGalley

Really conflicted on how I feel now I’ve finally finished. Took me longer than my norm to finish, and had to make myself read instead of binge Gossip Girl (always years late to popular stuff). Too much inner monologue repeating itself over and over saying the same things, just at different times.

Thanks to NetGalley for the read.

This is the story of Juniper, who is best friends with Avery. She has spent most of her life living with Avery Banks as her family took her in. Her parents got divorced and are both jet setting around the world. They will pay for everything for Juniper but won't show up.
Juniper has been in love with Avery's older brother , Beau, since she set eyes on him. The problem is, she was 10 and he was 15. He has seen her as a little sister for years. But now they are working together on an ad campaign for Midnight, which is an app where you meet anonymously online. Their online chats just may lead to more, but what about her found family.
Beau and Juniper's story is perfection. It has humor, heat, and heart. I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend it!

I feel like I’m supposed to like this more than I did. But I felt like I, as the reader, never got the connection or what made them fall in love in this story. They have basically grown up together and when she thinks there’s some espionage at work, she sends him an anonymous message. Their banter is fun but it felt like they jumped right from “this guy is stabbing you in the back” to “let’s make out” very suddenly.

It all felt a little fast and without much on page connection. There was almost no chemistry at all. I was sad.

Such a cute romance. I really enjoyed the letters being passed back and forth on an app. Reading the back and forth between the two main characters always adds that special little addition to their feelings for me. It was spicy and romantic and once I had gotten into the story it was hard to put down. It does take a little bit to get into and there wasn't a lot of tension, but the back and forth was sweet.

June was very relatable as a main character even though she came from money. She was written down to earth and a bit shy and sweet. I loved the dual POV. Beau also down to earth and what you'd expect from the adoring, hot, love interest.

I recommend to anyone wanting a spicy romance with low drama. She falls for her best friend's brother, which isn't my favorite trope but I adored the main characters. It had me smiling during multiple points during the story. Well worth a read!

I love a good best friends brother romance. June and Beau are adorable and I love that they were able to find a way to be together. Him being aloof to June loving him for years is funny, men are clueless. The sister did annoy me a little bit but she'll probably get a book and I'll read it.

I received an arc through netgalley.

Meet me at midnight is a funny, epistolary, best friends brother romance.
I absolutely love the hidden identity & texting/ social media trope, and this was done so well. I wish there had been a little more of that, and less of the inter-workings of the office.
This was a really cute, funny & easy read. I enjoyed it!
Avery was….. a lot.
But Beau and Juniper were really cute.
I love Max Monroe’s writing & for me this one was a 3.5-4 star read.
Thank you so much for the opportunity!

I loved June and Beau’s story. I really liked June. She has secretly been in love with her best friend’s brother since the day she meet him. Beau has never seen June as anything other then his sisters best friend and another little sister. Especially with the five year age gap. June is hilarious with her thoughts of Beau. And their life together in her mind. This is a cute, funny, and entertaining read. I can’t wait to read Avery’s next.
