I absolutely adored this book! This book is a slowwww burn, and for me, that made their relationship that much better!

💜Best friend’s brother
💜Workplace romance
💜Hidden identity
💜Friends to lovers

Juniper, aka June, has been in love with Beau, her best friend’s brother for years. Now they are working together and she has discovered some information that she needs to tell him anonymously. So she does that through the new Midnight app.

They exchange messages until they decide to meet and then things change for real for them. Will their flirting be able to resonate in real life as well?

I loved these two so much. Their flirty banter was the highlight of this book! The pining from June and the falling in love through the app for Beau was truly well done.

Avery, June’s best friend and Beau’s sister, had me cracking up continuously throughout this book. Her total unseriousness was hilarious!

CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese were fantastic narrators for this book! This might be my new favorite CJ narration. Alexander is a new to me narrator and I can’t wait to listen to more.

My 2nd Max Monroe book and this one didn't disappoint. At the beginning of the book there is a warning. It warns you that the book will have you laughing out loud and that is actually true! There were many giggles and even a few spit your drink out moments. I especially loved the opening scene of the book with a zoom call gone wrong and the words Pussy cat being uttered a LOT!
The premise of the book it quite simple. We have Juniper (June) who is infatuated with her best-friend's brother (Beau) and since she has practically grown up as an unofficial adopted sibling those feelings have never been revealed or persued. When a new dating app (Midnight) is launched and the family's marketing firm has first dibs at trying it out, June decides to use it with Beau. As the app offers anonymity she figures what could go wrong? With the backdrop of a marketing competition and the family dynamics at play can June have her happy ever after with her Beau?
The banter in this book is incredible and the characters were amazing. I really really loved Avery (the best-friend) she was just so rich girl extra and I was here for it. I also loved Neil the Dad. Omg if only all Dad's were like him. Avery and Neil really did provide a lot of the humour in the book.
The audiobook was done very well. It was dual narrated male/female but I especially liked that no matter who's chapters POV it was weather male or female the dialogue of the characters were always voiced by the correct sex of that character which made it more akin to a play or movie.
Many thanks to Dreamscape Media who provided me with a copy of this audiobook via NetGalley for review. All opinions are my own.

Meet Me at Midnight was fun, sweet, and hot all at once. Juniper and Beau grew up together, and Beau’s sister is Juniper’s best friend. Now the three work together at Beau’s father’s company, where all attention is focused on their new app: “Meet me at Midnight.” Juniper has secretly loved Beau for years, and when internal company espionage threatens the work he’s doing, Juniper turns to the still-in-development app to anonymously alert him. Their conversations turn steamy, and eventually, the passion boils over and surprises everyone. The pages of MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT practically turn themselves, and I’m eager for Beau’s sister’s story, coming soon.

Meet Me at Midnight
Published March 4, 2025
Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe was, beautiful, raw, powerful, real, inspiring and heart breaking all the same time.
Juniper and Avery are best friends, Juniper spends a lot of time with Avery’s family. Juniper has always had a crush on Avery’s brother Beau. Juniper was such a relatable character with how she was able to handle her feelings for Beau while still being professional at work. But the chemistry between Juniper and Beau is off the charts and had me hooked from the start of the book till the end. I loved that Juniper was able to have conversations with Beau without him knowing who it was behind the phone, I really think it made their bond stronger. However, Avery really pissed me off, she’s a spoiled entitled princess who gets everything she wants and barely has to do anything to get it all. I didn’t understand why everyone just let Avery get away without doing anything to earn the things she had in life. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I couldn’t stop listening because I needed to know what happened next.

This is a voluntary review and all my own words.

I really enjoy Max Monroe and this book did not disappointment. A little spicier than I like but cute story. The narrators were excellent. There was a lot of spice but also raw emotions and a good story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance listen in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.5 rounded to 4.

Juniper & Avery is are best friends and Juniper spent and still spends a lot of time with the family since her family are never there or care. She is super close to them and she is part if the family which includes Beau Averys brother who Juniper has had a crush on forever.

Juniper & Avery start interning at Averys family company and Juniper is taking it very seriously and Avery doesnt (as a side note- she was the typical spoiled I dont need to work its my fathers company just coming and going s she pleased and trying to get Juniper to skip work and go out partying all night. She was not a good friend/person in my opinion)

There is a app they are trying to market and Juniper hears the other guy trying to get Beaus pitch ideas to steal so she starts secretly starts messaging Beau to let him know and a secret texting relationship starts between the 2. The only problem Beau doesn't know who it is. and everything unfolds from there.

This wasn't my favorite from the author duo and I think my main issues were he was getting all hot without knowing who it was and was so into the mystery texter and one he knows who it is its like the clouds parted and there she was this whole time. and He NEVER thought of her that way it would be one thing if he kinda liked her at any point. and Avery was a big downer for me in this book.

Thank you Netgalley for this audio arc in exchange for my honest thoughts.

So cute!!! A little office romance, a little in love with best friend’s brother with a lot of tea to spill!

The narrators nailed it! Lovable characters, fun plot and a love story for the fairytale books!!

The plot flowed well, the main characters had the best chemistry. The side characters are so lovable. I want to be a part of the Banks family too!!!

Thank you Net Galley for the Audiobook ALC! Thank you Max Monroe for a wonderful, happy Romance! And yes, I cackled many times!!!

The storytelling in What Happens at Midnight was a fantastic blend of heart and emotion with all of the customary humour and droll dialogue I’ve come to expect from the writing powerhouse that is Max Monroe making for a fun and engaging romance as lonely rich girl Juniper Perry falls for her BFF Avery’s older brother Beau Banks. Juniper had loved Beau since the day she’d met him when Avery had taken her home but to him, she was like another sister until she finds a way to reach out to him anonymously through a new messaging app, Midnight, where strangers can meet in secrecy with no names, no shame.

Who doesn’t love the idea a secret romance that begins that has no expectations or pressure especially one that allows for some wickedly flirtatious messaging that soon develops into more including spicy photos, well that is the beauty of Midnight – no screenshots allowed. I loved the hero and heroine who were both likeable and normal…. well, compared to Avery that was. Juniper was the kind of character who tugs at your heartstrings, and who you just want to hug. She was so desperate to be part of a family all while suffering from unrequited love for Beau who such a cinnamon roll hero, he would never have looked at Juniper in that way so as ‘Elizabeth’ she was able to flirt with him in safety leading to several amusing inner monologues from Beau as he tried to figure out who she could be. Already half in love with her from their steamy chats, Beau didn’t waste anytime once he found out the identity of his fantasy woman but Juniper was reluctant to go public scared of what his family would think and the longer this dragged on, the harder it got until it blew up in their faces. The one thing I didn’t like about this book was Avery. At first, I was amused by her high maintenance attitude but the more page time she got, the more selfish and self absorbed she became the more I disliked her. She was the worst best friend in the world if she couldn’t see what her friend was going through.

Dual narration for What Happens at Midnight was provided by CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese who provided fantastic performances bringing these characters to life. CJ in particular was great as Juniper and I loved the sarcastic undertone in her voice when Juniper spoke with Avery, but she also portrayed her pain and fear at the thought of possibly having to choose between Beau or her best friend.

This book had me laughing from the start. I got to listen to the audio of this one in the narrators did a fantastic job. It was a duet narration so our girl said the girl parts and the guy said the guy parts and those two worked perfectly together to bring the story to life.
This is a best friend’s Brother romance. So our main female character had a crush on her best friend‘s brother from the moment she met him, but she hit it so that no one would know.
This is also an office romance on top of it because they work together and through working together, they get to meet at midnight.

Meet me at midnight had me giggling and kicking my feet! Best friends older brother & anonyms chatting? Sign me up!

Description
How good are you at keeping a secret?
Because I, Juniper Perry, have been keeping a big one.
For over a decade, I’ve been crushing on the guy with the easy smile, warm brown eyes, and charismatic charm. He’s all the perfect things that, when you add them up, spell out Man of my dreams. I know that doesn’t sound bad at all, but there’s more to this story... We work together. I’m a lowly intern, and he’s a high-powered executive.
He’s my newest neighbor. No joke—he’s temporarily living next door to me.
And to top it all off, he’s my best friend’s older brother. I’ve spent what feels like an eternity keeping my crush on him a secret, but recently, I’ve found a way to have him and my anonymity too. A way to chat and flirt and get close to him.
My best friend doesn’t know about these Midnight chats.
And he doesn’t know I’m the girl he’s talking to night after night.
Beau Banks might be completely off-limits, but what happens at Midnight stays between us...

This was such a cute story and I loved how Beau handled the news, they are so perfect for each other and they are so sweet together!

This was a quick, cute listen. The banter between characters was pretty good, and I enjoyed the support from the parents. I will say tho, I don’t think I have ever hated a character as much as I hated the best friend though.

Meet me at midnight is a cute and happy story, a rom com, that is the story of a childhood crush that becomes reality. If you're fans of movies like the Cinderella story this is right up your alley.
Beau and June were everything i would want out of this type of story.
I found June to be very relatable, from the fact that she had an unrequited crush, to throwing herself into work, to parents... who let's be honest probably shouldn't have been parents, treating her like an afterthought.
Beau..he was a such a sweetheart. The way he went and fell for a mystery woman that he had met through the midnight app. They shared this instant connection and when Beau finally learns who his mystery woman is he plans on holding on to her and never letting her go.
I'd say the downside for me was Avery. I found her so annoying like stfu not everything is about you.
Outside of that I did enjoy this audio book. The duet narration was performed by Cj Bloom and Alexander Cendese and I thought both did a great job. Their voices were perfect for these characters, with the right tone and emotion. Their performance was on point and made the story come alive and the banter was spot on.

Had me laughing all throughout the book. June and her massive secret crush on her best friends brother Beau was extremely adorable. They work at his family’s company, June has been a member of his family since her own parents don’t act like parents. They have great banter in person and in the texting app they use for work. They get to the point where they hide their relationship from Avery, his sister and her best friend. Enjoyed the plot it was well done. Duet narration was great, good production.

Meet me at midnight was so cute! Juniper and Beau were adorable. I love a good, secretive love; it's passionate and fun. I could tell towards the end we had another book coming for Avery. I'm excited; she definitely needs her own book.

I did the audiobook of this and let me tell yall so good!! I’ve recently discovered Max Monroe and I’ve become completely obsessed. I had so much fun listening to this book and it had me laughing and kicking my feet. There was so much amazing banter throughout and the found family had my heart warming. Avery and June’s friendship brings me such joy and gosh anytime Avery is “working” had me dying laughing but I bet there is so much more to her than we know. June may have fell first but when Beau fell harder, I started falling too. These two are just so good together. I’m definitely gonna have to keep going through the backlog because gosh they are bringing me such joy.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Audio for this ALC.

I adored the performance by C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese. Their voices are magic together.

I liked this story. I completed it a few days ago and don’t remember much more than the fact that I liked it and the actors! It did not stand out like other Max Monroe stories do and that tears me up inside.

Juniper has spent most of her life harboring a crush on her best friend's brother, Beau. Now that she's working with him and he will be living next door temporarily, keeping her feelings under wraps becomes even more challenging. When Juniper discovers a way to connect with Beau anonymously, their playful conversations blossom into a flirty friendship. Despite not knowing her identity, Beau finds himself falling for his mystery girl.

Narrators C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese bring Juniper and Beau to life beautifully. Their performances perfectly capture the characters' charm and chemistry, making their banter feel authentic and engaging. If you're in the mood for a sweet, lighthearted romance, this one is a must!

Thank you, Max Monroe and Dreamscape Media for the ALC.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this audiobook arc.

I loved this, as I have many books by Max Monroe. I love the humor and the plot was interesting and relatable. If you are into best friend’s brother, or age gap, or secret relationship troupe. You will like the book.

I am not sure where I’ve heard the female narrator before, but I think she’s great. The way she reads the story- she just really gets into it with the emotion and personality, I also loved the dual POV with the female and male narration.

Meet Me at Midnight is a laugh out loud, giggle to yourself, blush while you're reading it book. It's not your typical girl falls for best friends older brother, girl gets older brother book.
This book is about an app called "meet me at midnight", in which people can meet up with others in a chat room and its totally anonymous. All you have to do is get the person that you want to chat with the code for the chat. Once you're in everything shared is secret between just the two of you.
What would happen if you gave your sexy dark hair best friends' brother the code, would he no longer see you as another little sister??
Read this book and find out.
