What Is Love? by Jen Comfort
5.0
Thank you so much to Jen Comfort & Montlake for an advance copy of this book!
This book will be out April 1, 2024.
Holy moly I absolutely loved this book!!! I had heard about Jen's book Midnight Duet on a podcast and she has been on my radar ever since. The buzz around this book started to grow and I was so excited when I got access to it. I highlighted so many moments and quotes. It just was so good!
Teddy and Maxine are polar opposites and somehow they work so well as a couple. I will say it took me awhile for Maxine to grow on me but after their first trip to the library then it all clicked for me. I think had Comfort continued to have Maxine push Teddy's button I may have given up. I mean she still did but it was done differently compared to how it was in the first half of the book. The chemistry just built and built and I love how we knew from the first sentence of the book that he fell first. Their banter and constant battling was fun to read and I love that by the end they were really working together.
"Are we having a clandestine make-out-sesh? Because I'm suddenly very on board on libraries."
The SPICE. WHEWWWWWWW! What made this stand out compared to other romances I have recently read is where they are being intimate. The situations where the sexual tension just is so strong that it just had to be done right then and there. Teddy just adored Maxine and took such care of her.
They both grew with each other throughout the book and brought different sides out to one another. And even with growing within the book, they still also remained true to themselves. There was a moment late into the book where Maxine starts acting out and back to her mean ways and Teddy immediately could tell something was wrong. I felt that was a realistic moment and was not brushed aside or had the MMC play dumb that they weren't intune with their partner (which don't get me wrong, can still happen in relationships). It just really stood out to me and it made Maxine come to terms with things she was scared of. Bravo!!
I don't want to give away too much of story as that was part of the fun. But I just love their growth and respect for each other as the book went on. Even with being rivals they both had. the common goal of defeating the ultimate trivia winner Hercules (what a name) and getting a cool $2 million.
I just absolutely love this book & I think those who read it will have fun and enjoy it as well!
If you are a fan of trivia, rivals to friends to lovers, dual POV - check this out, you will not be disappointed!
PS - Kudos to the author for including a quote from one of my favorite movies "Hook" - "You're doing it Peter."
PSS - If you are an Amazon Prime member and haven't picked out your Amazon First Reads for the month of March, consider downloading this book!
PSSS- There was mention of karaoke but we were robbed from seeing it played out on page!
