Thick & Beefy

Rate this book
Perfectly made to order. Mykeisha McCall has decided that she will just be single. After countless dating disasters and terrible relationships, she had called it quits. It may be time to start adopting cats to keep her company. Before she started going to shelters, she had to make a trip to her alma mater for alumni weekend. It had been a while since she’d seen some of her college friends, and it was just the getaway she needed. But she hadn’t counted on seeing him. Nash Fitzpatrick. The one she’d had a crush on but never said a word. Nash Fitzpatrick had never forgotten the beautiful Mykeisha. She had been the cool chick to hang out with, and they had been friends. After he had graduated college, they had fallen out of touch. He’d figured she would have been married with children by now, but to his surprise, she was single. With a weekend to catch up, the two were inseparable, and it was almost like old times. Only this time, they did things friends normally didn’t do.

Best book in LTC season 6 Imo!! ❤️❤️❤️

My favorite trope ever is Friends to Lovers. So I knew that this book was going to be good. I was wrong. This book was AMAZING!! Nash and MyKeisha's reconnection set my Kindle ablaze from the very beginning. The chemistry was immediate as soon as their eyes locked on each other. There was no WAY Nash was letting MyKeisha get away. This book had so many great moments throughout it. And I loved the fact that Nash was not a slim guy! Nothing wrong with a man having a little meat on his bones! And can I say I loved their HEA. I hope we can get a bonus scene about this couple in the future. This book was 🔥🔥🔥. Peyton Banks caught the 🏈 with this book and scored a touchdown!🏆

Part of the Lunchtime Chronicles series each can read as a standalone with two friends who wanted something more 😊 Nash and MyKeisha went to school together but never really forgetting one another so when their ten year class reunion rolls around and they see each other again old feeling come back. Nash realizes he wants her in his life and walking away from her isn’t an option this time around. Keisha was taking a man break or so she told herself until she met up with her friend Nash he was beefier and she couldn’t keep her eyes off of him hanging out together most of the reunion going over old times discovering new things about each other which lead into the night especially since they were staying in the same hotel but will they realize fate gave them a second chance, will they grab it this time around, and can they find happiness?

Beautiful love story

Nash is so easy to love. The first proposal blew my mind… so romantic. They belonged to each other from day one.

They were given a second chance

In college, Nash and Mykeisha were the best of friends. They both harbored an unrequited crush on each other but never voiced their feelings. Nash was, very protective of Mykeisha while in school warning off any male that got too close to her. Graduation and life had them going their separate ways, and calls became less and less over time. Now that the alumni weekend has reignited their friendship they realized how much they missed each other and were determined not to let the weekend go by without getting all of their feelings for each other out in the open. Even their friends knew they belonged together. Nash couldn't help but think what their relationship would've been like today if they'd only come clean about their feelings for each other years ago. Nash knew one thing for sure, he was not going to lose Mykeisha again

Nash Fitzpatrick and Mykeisha McCall reconnect at their 10-year Class Reunion. Both are hoping to see the other after losing touch after graduation. When Nash sees her again, he knows that he wants to keep her in his life.

Prior to attending the Reunion, Keisha had decided that she was going to take a man-break until she sees Nash. He's gotten hotter and beefier during their separation and she ain't mad at that at all. They both like what they see, very much and they hang together for the night reminiscing about old times. When they discover their at the same hotel, there's only one thing to do and do it all night long!

I enjoyed getting to know this couple and I'd love to see them again. Recommended: Read It!

In Thick and Beefy is Mykeshia and Nash's story. Mykiesha and Nash were friends in college and they hooked back up at a class reunion. Mykeisha and Nash had their own lives but they still had feelings for each other. I loved this book because it was so swoony and romantic. When Mykiesha and Nash saw each other the chemistry was still there it was as if they were never separated. Thick and Beefy had some steamy scenes and some "aww" moments in it as well. Peyton Banks writing style is amazing and I didn't want to put it down. I would defiantly recommend this book to my friends. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Peyton Banks is a new author for me and I loved Lunchtime Chronicles: Thick & Beefy. I can't wait to read more. Nash and MyKeisha became best friends during college but they lost touch after Nash graduated. MyKeisha had a massive crush on Nash but she never said anything and then of course she lost her chance. Now years later they are reunited at their college reunion and both are single. Nash is very happy when he learns MyKeisha is not married. He is determined to get his second chance with the one that got away!

Nash and MyKeisha were good friends in college. They were afraid to ruin their friendship with something more. They meet up for homecoming and vow to not make the same mistake. They act on the attraction that they still have for one another. This was a short but sweet second chance romance. 3.5 stars.

They were good friends during college but lost track of each other. They reconnect during their reunion and feelings blossom between them. Will they pursue them and see where they take them. This story kept me glued to Nash and Mykeisha to see how their story ends.

Amazing

I like that Mykeisha and Nash have this unmistakable friendship and trust for one and another. They always said, that best friends makes the best lovers. And she’d found that in Nash. Love how the characters just make you feel like your apart of there every move and milestone. I’ve also been a big fan of Peyton Banks anyways.

With old untold feelings surfacing. Nash and Mykeisha decide to explore those untested feelings they had at college. And test drive them they do. Another great LTC read.

Great read

Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and this one was so good. Being friends first just makes the relationship so much better and Nash and Mykeisha had a wonderful friendship before getting together.
