Going Down Fast

Our favorite Billionaire Bad Boys are back in Carly Phillips newest installment Going Down Fast. In this book we meet Maxie, a long time friend, sister-in-law and unfortunately the one who got away for Lucas. Lucas is drool worthy; he is kind, compassionate, sensitive and sexy. He is also very protective of the ones he loves and that quality comes out strongly when Maxie is involved. Lucas has known Maxie since they were children and has been in love with her just as long. He was the geeky computer and video nerd who was constantly bullied so he never expressed his feeling to her. Years later he lost his chance to ever find out if they could be more when he older brother married the love of his life. Maxie has always dreamed of a chance with Lucas. She has been head over heels in love with him since they were teenagers but they drifted apart when they both left for college. Years later she was still carrying a torch for him but when his brother told her that he was engaged to another woman she decided to move on. When Keith (Lucas’s brother) starts asking Maxie out she decides it’s time to move on. Even though the two men are completely different in personality Keith is still sweet and loving then it suddenly changes. After several tragedies, including the death of her husband, Maxie seeks help and refuge from the only person who has really ever been there for her, Lucas. Maxie knows Lucas and his brother never had a great relationship but can she hurt the man she loves further by exposing the lies and deceptions that has kept them apart for so many years. Now is the change for them to finally have the opportunity for the life they both have always wanted if they are just willing to give it a chance. Ms. Phillips out did herself with this book. I loved these two characters. They had great chemistry from the beginning and I could really feel the heartache that both characters went through along with the love the have for each other. Great story and a fabulous addition to this hot and sexy series. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Going down fabulous This is the second book in this series and is absolutely fabulous. Lucas and Maxie are perfect together. This is a friends to lovers story and you are always cheering for them but with so many twists and turns and so many people that it looks like are against Lucas and Maxie can they really end up together. Carly Phillips masterfully ties in many characters from other books but you haven't had to have read them to understand. Carly Phillips keeps you wanting more in this book and I can't wait for the next installment.

Hot, sexy, sweet, emotional, friends from childhood second chance romance with a hint of danger. Including a competitive sibling that is beyond redemption. Lucas Monroe is charming, wicked smart and off the charts hot. The kind of man who can have any woman he wants except the only one he has ever loved. Maxie is sweet and giving but trapped in a horrible marriage to his brother. The emotional twists and turns in this journey are captivating and keep you reading hopeful for a happy ending. Love this series!
