i really enjoyed talk british to me, which was the first book in this series. in lips close to mine we get to spend time with mateo and teague's best friends, levi and harper. and these two are the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. they have some pretty serious emotional baggage and their angst is real and understandable and just ups all the feels.
i loved, loved, loved these two together. levi is seriously a total sweetheart. the way he consistently puts harper, his family, the commitments he makes first is just so dreamy. this guy is so swoonworthy. like, even the whole bet thing with elliot, while stupid, did not detract from what a perfect guy he was. because from the moment he was goaded into taking the bet, he didn't actually want to win it. he only always wanted harper.
harper is prickly and her defense mechanisms make it hard for her to open up and trust others. seeing how levi draws her out of her shell, how he gives her the strength and power to face her demons and take ownership of them in a way that lets her control the narrative in a positive, constructive way.
i love that levi and harper have a shared past, one that deepens their connection as they reconnect in the present as adults. i think it helps them navigate between fun and flirty to deep and meaningful with such ease. and these two swing from one extreme to the other all the time. and i loved it.
i really liked this book. and i'm hoping we get to see elliot and madison next. because i swear there is something brewing between those two.
