Title: Text Me Harder
Pages: 214
Steamy: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Warnings: miscommunication/lack of communication.
Smut starts: 7% (but 40% really)
She's a librarian and he's a CEO. A mishap with a dating app glitch leads to her confessing her fantasies to him. I don't know, the plot is not a huge part of this book, honestly.
It was cute! I loved the texting. The FMC was frustrating to me. She does the stereotypical woman thing of misconstruing his words and never asking for clarification. She claims that he doesn't communicate, but I felt that he was really honest about his feelings the entire time. At one point, he straight up asks her, “Are you deliberately being obtuse right now?” and I felt the exact same way. It's like she wanted to get her feelings hurt. He has way more patience with her than I did.
It also started with the explicit content early (it was hot!), then started to fade to black around the middle point. It felt like false advertising.
Overall, it's a decent read, but I think it would've been better as a novella.

This book was okay, but I was a little bored with it compared to the first book in the series. It wasn't as steamy as I would have liked, but there is some exhibitionism kink that I thought was done well. I appreciated how Ethan took the lead with Ivy's desires while still respecting her boundaries. He always gave her a chance to say no and back out. However, the way he talked seemed a little too perfect and scripted. I don't know how to explain it 🤷♀️
Minor gripe: at one point I noticed the text bubbles were out of order when Ethan was messaging Ivy, but it's not a huge deal. I still understood who was speaking in the conversation. There were a few typos as well but nothing excessive.
Overall this book is okay and I really appreciate that there's no pregnancy trope, but I don't know if I'll be continuing the series or not.

Text Me Harder by Stevie Sinclair the second book of The MisMatched Series.
Nora and Ethan's story was so good and so much fun to read. Nora swiped left when you saw Ethan on a dating app and matched with a safe graphic designer she thought would be perfect for her. Then the late night texting with confessions of fantasies she has never told anyone, then she finds out she has been texting Ethan and this is where the fun begins. I loved reading their story and can't wait to read what Stevie Sinclair comes out with next.

This felt real in a lot of ways. It's so easy to fall into conversations with someone you don't know. It's felt liberating and hot. Well done. Another bonus chapter awaits.

This book was pure fire from start to finish! 🔥 The chemistry was instant, intense, and completely addictive. I loved how the author balanced the spice with real emotion, making the romance feel both steamy and heartfelt. Such a fun, fast-paced read—I couldn’t put it down. Absolutely loved it! 💕

I’m not sure how things transpire but I read this right after the first one and I enjoyed this so much more. Sure there’s still minor spelling errors and the author has a tendency to reiterate statements or facts like you haven’t read the book thus far but this much better!
