How good are you at keeping a secret?<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I, Juniper Perry, have been keeping a big one.<\/span><\/p>\n

For over a decade, I\u2019ve been crushing on the guy with the easy smile, warm brown eyes, and charismatic charm. He\u2019s all the perfect things that, when you add them up, spell out\u00a0Man of my dreams<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I know that doesn\u2019t sound bad at all, but there\u2019s more to this story…<\/p>\n

We work together.\u00a0I\u2019m a lowly intern, and he\u2019s a high-powered executive<\/span>.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s my newest neighbor.\u00a0No joke\u2014he\u2019s temporarily living next door to me<\/span>.<\/p>\n

And to top it all off, he\u2019s my best friend\u2019s older brother.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent what feels like an eternity keeping my crush on him a secret, but recently, I\u2019ve found a way to have him and my anonymity too. A way to chat and flirt and get\u00a0<\/span>close\u00a0<\/span>to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

My best friend doesn\u2019t know about these Midnight chats.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0he\u00a0<\/span>doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m the girl he\u2019s talking to night after night.<\/p>\n

Beau Banks might be completely off-limits, but what happens at Midnight stays between us…<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved\u00a0Meet Me at Midnight<\/i>. It\u2019s a forbidden, workplace romance between Juniper and her best friend\u2019s brother, Beau. I loved the tropes, mystery woman plot, the dating app, the sneaking around, the fact that there was little unnecessary drama, and all of the laughs this story delivers.<\/p>\n

Juniper has had a crush on her best friend\u2019s brother for what feels like forever. She grew up with Beau and while she was very much a sister figure back then, she is definitely not now. June just started working for her best friend\u2019s dad making her and Beau co-workers even though she\u2019s an intern and he\u2019s an executive.<\/p>\n

Beau is working on a marketing strategy for the new \u201cMidnight\u201d dating app and his ex best friend, Seth, (ex because he stole Beau\u2019s girlfriend) is determined to get the account with his own strategy. Seth will do anything to win, including steal Beau\u2019s ideas. June overhears Seth and decides to use the app to let Beau know about Seth without letting on who she is, giving her the anonymity to be herself with her crush while Beau\u2019s none the wiser.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the mystery behind the Midnight app and how June and Beau connect. I loved how their relationship progressed through the app because it was anonymous (at least one sided) and they could say and do what they wanted without fear. It gets spicy but you know the truth has to come out and you just don\u2019t want to see how bad the fallout will be. I loved June and Beau together and didn\u2019t want either of them to get hurt.<\/p>\n

I love the best friend\u2019s brother trope and this one did not disappoint. I was so good. I loved how their feelings were real and even though they were forbidden, these two couldn\u2019t get enough of each other. I didn’t want Avery, Beau\u2019s sister and June\u2019s best friend, to be hurt because of their lying, but I have to say I love the sneaking around June and Beau do in this book.<\/p>\n

I love romcoms and am here for all the laughs that MM gives us but I will say that though she was hilarious, Avery was a little too over the top. Her character is lovable but she did get on my nerves a bit. I can\u2019t even believe I am saying this because I love love love all the crazy antics MM gives us, but I found myself wanting Avery to tone down her behavior a bit. I do like Avery and would love her book because I know there is a man perfect for her.<\/p>\n
