I'm giving this book 3 stars because Ms. Jolie is a good writer and it would be unfair to give her a low rating. But, in all honesty, I did not like this book. So Lily is pregnant. It's no secret (it's in the blurb for the book and the premise is based off of this). Lily finds out pretty early on in the story yet it takes forever for her to actually reveal it to Adam. I'm confused as to how you can feel comfortable enough to have unprotected sex with someone yet not comfortable enough to be an adult and tell them you're pregnant. At one point Lily says taking off your clothes and having sex is no big deal but opening your soul and discussing the future is too intimate????? My face when reading this was just like
Added to that Lily is juvenile and doesn't know what she wants. First she wanted sex, no strings attached. Then she wanted more than sex. What exactly? We don't know because Lily didn't even know what she wanted. Then she gets knocked up and discovers she's in "love" so she wants Adam to commit to her. Then when he does commit and they start dating she's still mad because he won't open up and be vulnerable with her. When he finally opens up it's not good enough because he doesn't love her. And of course when she finds out he does "love" her, it's still not enough because he doesn't love her enough. I was so tired of her that I breathed a sigh of relief when this story finally ended.
I can't believe these people are adults in their late 20s and early 30s. The whole story was very immature. I think this relationship is just as unhealthy as Minka and Jason's from the first book, but at least these two knew each other for more than two weeks.
This book is total fantasy. The theme for both this book and the first in this series is let go of your inhibitions, have a no strings attached fling for the first time in your life, then you will find the "one". I simply cannot cosign that message. I would hope no adult woman would deceive herself into thinking that getting knocked up by her booty call would lead to love and marriage. Just the same way that I would hope no one would think that a having a one night stand and a two week fling is going to lead you to the love of your life.
Anyway that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm becoming too much of a cynic for romance books. Or maybe I just prefer books where there is real romance. Neither this book nor the first is about love. It is just lust masquerading as love and I wasn't buying it.

This book went in a direction I never expected and loved. Lilly and Adam were introduced in the first book of this series but it’s not necessary to read that in order to follow their story. Need You Now picks up a year later and Lilly and Adam have been exclusive to each other but it’s a no strings-sex-only relationship. I don’t want to spoiler anything, but this story moves pretty quickly at first and then within one moment the whole thing turned and I realized that there was more to Adam than I had initially thought.
As they each wade through their issues both together and individually, I found myself completely taken with both of them. I loved Lilly’s strength even when she was weak from the force of her desire for Adam. I love when a hero feels that way about his woman, and Adam does, but this book made me realize that I need my heroine to feel that way as well.
I shouldn’t have loved Adam as much as I did, but he was so compelling and I desperately wanted to be there when he finally had his aha moment. I really enjoyed this couple’s journey from no strings to all the strings as well as the characters that make up their friends and family. There was some gentle humor along the way and I’m excited about the possibility of reading more about Lilly’s brothers.
Overall, this was an extremely enjoyable read that surprised me with the depth that it took, the drama that arose, and the sheer emotion both of these characters felt.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Although this is book 2 in the Martha's Way series I was able to enjoy Need You Now as a stand alone title. Well written with believable and likable characters that allowed me to experience the emotional turmoil of both Lily and Adam. Lily finds herself in love with the man she only intended to have a no strings relationship with as well as realizing that she will be forever connected to him when she discovers that she's pregnant. I loved the way Adam decided to prove his dedication to Lily despite her reservations and misgivings . Lily doesn't want to marry Adam just because she is carrying his child, but Adam is set on proving that his feelings for her go far beyond her just being the mother of his child.
NEED YOU NOW has humor, romance, passion. and real life struggles that hooked me into the story. Now I need to go back and read book one so that I can read the story of Minka and Jason's coming together. If you are looking for a good contemporary romance with diverse characters and a solid story NEED YOU NOW is a great one to pick up.

It takes a brave or crazy wild adrenaline junkie to enter into a “no strings attached” relationship with a fiery and independent Elementary school teacher who has three over-protective, over-sized brothers determined to protect her honor and her heart. Adam Aquilani is that and more as a formula one race car driver who has the caution flag out when it comes to romance and relationships, thanks to a past that has left him less than trusting about love. Sex, is definitely on the table, and everywhere else for that matter, but only as a matter of awesome chemistry and sizzling moments, which he gets in spades from Liliana Serrano. Liliana is a woman who will follow no man who tries to reign in her life and determine her future, but is she denying her true feelings for Adam? Does she want more than a victory lap between the sheets? Love is the grand prize and she will not settle for less, even if she has discovered that she carries the child of the man who keeps his distance emotionally. A marriage of convenience is not happening, but will Adam wake up and listen to his heart in time to convince Liliana that she is his everything?
Mika Jolie has another hit on her hands! Need You Now is a contemporary romance that screams relevant and realistic while pulling at every emotion she can. She writes from the heart, pulling on things she knows as she paints a beautiful tale of letting go of the past and taking that leap into the future, hearts and hand entwined in a beautiful setting that comes to life on each page.
I received an ARC edition from Mika Jolie in exchange for my honest review.

The best thing about this book was literally everyone but the main characters. I didn't care for Lily or Adam in the first book of the series, and found their individual personalities and romance in this book to be a bore at best and completely annoying at worst.
Honestly, I was glad when the story ended because I wasn't sure how much more of it I could take.

This was a great take on unexpected pregnancy storyline. I liked the characters and the chemistry and slow burn emotional growth felt genuine.

This was not as good as the first book. I think it it suffered from too much of the meddling friends and family trope and teetered on the too much sex, not enough plot. And there was just...to much in some places and lacking in areas I thought were super important to expand on.
So Lily finds out she’s pregnant. The first person who should’ve known/been told was Adam. Point blank, end of. So it really got to me that it took almost 100 pages for Adam to find out! That’s almost half the book. I was so annoyed.
Again, the meddling friends and family trope ruined so many opportunities for Adam and Lily (more the former than the latter) to learn how to be a couple with each other. Lily and Adam really needed to sit down and talk with EACH OTHER than their group of friends. Not to say they couldn’t get more advice, but I felt like Adam and Lily spent more time apart in the book than they were together.
I wanted to see more dates, more getting to know each other outside of the bedroom. As soon as Adam would open up, Lily would cut him off with sex, but then Lily would turn around and be hurt that Adam shut down. I could understand that Lily was scared, but I wanted her to fight for Adam and not to be defeatist. You love the man and you know he loves you, FIGHT FOR HIM. Fight for both of you!
What the hell was up with Lily’s brothers? Their whole overprotective shtick was really silly and over the top. Does Rafa have a brother complex (a manga/anime term, FYI)? Because his protectiveness seemed much more ‘jealous lover’ than fraternal.
I was disappointed with ‘Need You Now’ and there seemed to be more set up for future books than focus on Adam and Lily. However, I can’t wait for Claire and Forrest’s story and what I’m hoping will be Lily’s brothers’ stories. I just hope that they’re as good as the first book in this series.

This is the second book in the Martha's Way series. This book is about Lily and Adam. We met them both in book one of the series, The Scale. Lily is Minka's best friend and Adam is Jason's best friend.
Back in book one, when they first met, sparks flew. It has now been a year and the two of them have been seeing each other, on a casual basis for sex - no attachments.
That is until Lily realizes she loves Adam and wants more. But Adam doesn't do love.
I loved these two characters. You could feel the chemistry between them coming off the pages. I loved being able to catch up with Minka and Jason, Keely and Blake, Forrest and Claire. We got to meet Lily's parents and three over-protective brothers, and Adam's parents.
I am so looking forward to reading the next book. I need to know what the deal is with Claire and Forrest. Not to mention I am sure we will get to catch up with the whole gang again. I love reading these types of books, where characters you have fallen in love with previously get to make an appearance again so we can see how their lives are progressing.

I read the first book of this series and just had to get my hands on this copy. this was a fantastic tale of love and perseverance. Adam's past holds him back from declaring his love to Lily. And just wants her happily ever after. An epic battle between a fairytale and reality.
The writing was great and the characters were so complexed and well developed it was hard not to be engrossed in the story. I wished there was more of the story.
This is a definite must read and so is the first book in the series, The Scale.

This book was given to me for my honest review.
As a young child we all looked forward to our first beach day of the season. Whenever we pass the ocean’s shore we could look out upon the horizon and gaze upon waves. As we near the shore line we see that the waves at times roll in with such passion and vengeance that it thrills us to our core. Seeing this makes us crave the unattainable to conqueror the unattainable.
Lily-sweet, shy and pretty
Adam-racecar driver, adventurous and scared
Lily wants to find the man of her dreams. She knows he exists and believes that the heart knows what the heart wants. She has been dating a man for awhile now but this man has a no commitment rule just as she does but does she? Can she give her heart to this man knowing that the commitment rule applies and will always apply or will she just forge on and follow her now wanting heart? Will she be able to let her heart soar?
Adam is an Indy driver he loves fast and faster in his wake of life. Feelings are never an option for him he refuses to let his heart go to anyone. With a deep dark secret in his past lurking at every turn putting his heart on the line is not an option. Seeing a woman for awhile now and thinking of no other but her knowing he has a no commitment rule hurts his heart. He sees no other but not letting her know but in his heart he knows that it belongs to her and her only. But what happens if his secret comes out will said woman walk away? Is she really worth the risk?
Adam and Lily’s journey is a very unique one. Adam’s secret that is lurking at every turn has him on an emotional rollercoaster. Will Adam tell Lily his deep dark secret? Will Lily tell Adam of the new development in their relationship? Will Lily stay or will she run once the secret comes out and will Adam do the same when Lily tells him of what she wants? Will these two find their forever or will they let it slip away? Will this couple find it within each of themselves to let each one know that their heart has always been with each other and no other or has it? Will they find their forever and a day together?
To the author: You had me from the title alone I will admit that. The heart wrenching and emotional rollercoaster that you had me on from the very first page is among itself a mystery to this reviewer. This book captivated my heart and kept me to the very last heart wrenching word. You gave so much in Adam and Lily that you had me in awe.
To the readers: Adam and Lily’s journey is one that should not be missed out upon.
Happy Reading

I love love love Adam. I love his story, his vulnerability and his stubbornness. I love how when he loves he fights it until it consumes him and he can't handle being without it. I love how he is with Liliana. He tries to be aloof because of his past and his fear she will run from him and use it against him and slowly she gets to him. She shows him that he can be strong and beautiful. He can be kind and yet stubborn and arrogant when needed. She shows him that love doesn't make you weak but makes you a stronger more beautiful person.
Adam is a baby born a addict and has a terrible past until his parents the Aquilani's adopt him. This past keeps him dark and brooding on the inside. It has him keep people at arms length so that he doesn't get hurt. He has friends he trusts but woman weren't a factor to him until Liliana. She unnerves him and turns his world around. When one night she ends up carrying his child things change. His fear and his past crash in on him. He fears for his child becoming part of what his past gave him and he wants Liliana. She however wants him but on her terms. She wants a all consuming love. This petrifies Adam but he gives compromise and they begin to get to know one another.
Along the way they fall in love. But Adam is so afraid to do the last hurdle of saying the words. He shows her but cannot get the words out out of fear. This causes a rift and Liliana walks away. This is where I get really angry at Liliana. She is acting like a child. The man needs to feel safe and that love isn't something that is used as a ploy. Here you show him the opposite. In your case though it worked dear and Adam let go fully of what crippled him his past.
Liliana not a character I liked really. She was whiny at times. A little selfish in others. I know she was a good person but she just with some of her actions didn't make me like her much. She was good for Adam though and what he needed.
Each character was with a story and had depth. I am wondering about Foster he is in love and wants it all and walks away from the one he wants because of who she is and acts like. This is so crushing to see. Liliana's brothers are a hoot. All the characters help to bring you into the story and keep you in the story of Adam and Liliana as they go on this wonderfully fun and heartwarming story of them finding their way to each other. You will need kleenex though when you get to see Adam open up and let his past be known.

We were introduced to Liliana Serrano and Adam Aquilani in the first book The Scale. She is the best friend of Minka Greene; and had recently broken off her engagement to her cheating fiance Nate. Adam was a bad boy race driver and the minute they met, their chemistry was off the charts.
This book further explored the relationship between the two; and included a lot of ups and downs, twist and turns which made this a very engaging read for me. Adam was a very complicated individual, with deep, dark secrets. As a result it made him wary of falling in love.
The author did a wonderful job of unraveling all the pieces. The support of their families and friends contributed immensely to the story. It was a very enjoyable read for me.

Hmmm where I do I start
I just wish she had more “I mean what I say” in her
It felt like she was disrespecting her by not doing that. The whole I can’t control my body and must have sex with you is annoying. Like Girl STAND UP and very embarrassing to read. Don’t know what I came here for and don’t know what I expected but this was not it. If I tell a man I don’t want to be with him anymore that’s it end of story. Don’t tell me shit. I am a grown woman. Honestly though when I realized she had feelings for him I was hella disappointed cause I knew her character would no longer be rational and the whole women can’t fuck without having feelings thing. Well it just wasn’t for me.

Aww!!!
I loved Adam & Liliana! They're a perfect match for each other.....he had a rough childhood that tarnished his view of love but seeing the love her parents have for each other after decades together, Liliana knew true love exists and could heal her wounded lover.
Very nice follow-up to The Scale. And just like The Scale, I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter....some resonated greatly with me.

Need You Now (Martha’s Way Book 2) by Mika Jolie Rated 5 Stars
Lily just found out her fiancée cheated on her so she broke it off with him. Her best friend Minka’s sister is getting married at Martha’s Vineyard. Lily needs to get away and her BFF wants to give her support. So she goes to Martha's Vineyard and that is where she mets HIM. When she sees him for the first time he has 2 women with him and he was very arrogant. So she is intrigued with him but nothing more.
Adam ( a Formula One driver) sees HER as he is walking up to the boat. He thinks this 2 week trip might not be so bad after all with this beautiful woman coming along. He approaches her and sparks fly...and not the good kind. She actually bickers with him and brushes him off. He is determined that by the end of the 2 weeks she will be in his bed.
One year later it's now Minka and Jason's turn to be married at Martha's Vineyard. Adam and Lily have been seeing each other for 1 year...not like dating just friends with benefits with out the friend part. The day before she is supposed to show up on the island Lily gets unexpected news…..she is pregnant. Not knowing what to do and how to tell Adam she breaks up with him. She know he has no interest in any kind of relationship but once he learns of the little lentil he will say they are getting married. Lily only wants true, passionate love and she knows that Adam can't give that to her.
I love, love, love this story! Lily and Adam I knew would be a great couple because of their chemistry and attitudes in the last book. The title for the book was perfect for these 2 because they always seemed to be in a state of Need You Now! I have to say when all the families showed up for the wedding weekend this book became awesome! Adam was making headway with Lily when her 3 over protective brothers showed up. What happens when alphas all get in same room throwing off protective vibes? A lot of smiles for me as I'm reading!
It was nice to read about all the previous characters and how they help and laugh at these 2 while they try to get it together. Another great book!

5 star review
Need You Now is the second book in the Martha’s Way series by Mika Jolie and I definitely think I need to find this place! It is full of hot men!!! I loved book 1 in this series so was really looking forward to reading Lily and Adam’s story in this next instalment. I had an idea I would like it because I have a soft spot for stories about racing drivers in particular Formula 1 but this story blew me away – it was AMAZING! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. It was excellently written and just had this effortless flow about it that made it impossible to put down. Having read about some of the characters, especially Minka and Jason, in the previous book it was nice that their stories also carried on in the background of this one.
Need You Now is Lily and Adam’s story and we saw them meet in the first book and they hit it off sexually speaking! Lily and Adam made an agreement and entered into a no strings attached relationship, for Lily this was perfect after coming out of a relationship where he fiancé cheated on her and for Adam, the no commitment hot formula 1 racing driver, it was his favourite type of relationship. However one year later they are still hooking up and things aren’t as clear as they were at the beginning. This is never truer than when a surprise pregnancy enters the picture. Adam wants to marry Lily and raise their child as a family but Lily refuses to settle for anything less than love.
I totally fell in love with Lily and Adam. I don’t think I’ve wanted two characters to work things out like I did these two. Lily was strong and feisty and she knew what she wanted from a relationship. She loved Adam wholeheartedly and she refused to marry him until he could love her the same way.
I adored Adam! Like I said earlier he was always going to be a hit with me but I never saw his story coming! That was a total curveball and something I would never have predicted. I could have cried for him at times and then slapped him!
I cannot wait for the next story – Forrest and Claire are really intriguing me and I can’t wait to read their story! I am definitely loving this series so far and it is certainly one that I recommend.

They are just messing around, having a good time. They aren't in a relationship, now what?

Good storyline and likeable characters
Personally, I dislike reading books written in the third person, and this one did not help that dislike, because at times what was written was confusing and didn't make sense. Re-reading a few passages multiple times still had me wondering what the author had meant to convey.
Reasonably well written otherwise, but there are a number of spelling and punctuation errors which I don’t expect to come across in a published book. It needs to be edited, and there are also simple, silly errors that dont make sense in the story ie, who wears a plaid shirt UNDER a long sleeved Henley? And why was the pregnant Lily drinking wine at dinner, but then later when Adam thought she was, he then chooses to be upset, but not while at dinner with her?
My feeling is that in trying to be quite descriptive with the writing, some things end up 'lost in translation', and there's also a LOT of what I'd refer to as the FMC's 'internal monologue' (even though in the 3rd person) waffling away and filling the pages - such as unnecessary commentry on a minor character's clothes when it doesn't add value to the story.
I held in there, because I liked the storyline, Adam's character grew a little and he slowly let his defenses down, letting Lily in.
Personally, I won't be reading the other books in the series as this one was frustrating to read, the storylines might seem good, but the overboard descriptive writing and editing issues are enough to put me off with this one. I do feel this could be a great story with some editing.

Need You Now (Martha’s Way Book 2)
Mika Jolie
“The sound of her name in that seductive accent slid over her and pooled in her belly. Did he really need to say her name? That was pure sexual torture. No man should have the power to make a women’s name sound so sensuous.”
Lily and Adam have an arrangement for over a year; no stings no commitment. Lily get sick and Adam takes care of all her needs to get her better, no one thinking of the consequences. Two days before she has to leave for Minka and Jason’s wedding. She gets news that will change her and Adams lives forever.
Adam cannot wait to have Lily all to himself for two weeks. However, when she texts him that they are over he cannot accept that without an explanation. He knows it will be hell on him with Lily being on the Island for two week if he cannot find out why she is walking away. He finds he has to make changes to himself if he wants the women he loves.
Caught my attention from begging to end. It is such a great read that I did not want to stop reading. This is book two in the Martha’s way series. I enjoyed the fist just as much as this book. I cannot wait to read the rest of The Martha’s Way Series. I found you do not have to read the first book (The Scale) to understand this one. It gives you the background information to understand the charters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5:
I liked the concept of the book.
Fuck buddies with an accidental pregnancy trope.
And with this book, the author surprised me with how it was written. I felt like usually they start the book with them meeting, they get pregnant towards the end and they live happily ever after.
Well this book wasn’t like that.
SPOILER!!! ⛔️⚠️
The author decided to go with a different approach. It starts with the FMC, Liliana, wanting to end their agreement and the MMC, Adam, doesn’t want that. And it picks up from there. I honestly really liked this concept. I really really did.
What made me rate this book a 3 star was the fact that the FMC was so aggravating to read about. She wanted the MMC to confess to loving her and then when he didn’t she would get sad and she would end things but then she would GET BACK WITH HIM!! Like gurl, stand up!!
With one little touch she was like “no, don’t. I’ll just go back to you” like???
I wanted her to stand up for herself and say “enough is enough.”
And yeah she did leave. But literally at the end of the book. And then she took him back after he said he loved her, for the first time, on TV. …. Yeah. On tv. She didn’t even get to hear it privately. He did no groveling, nothing.
While I loved the concept, I really didn’t like how it was executed.

Adam and Lily have been living their non strings attached relationship at the beginning of the story when certain things lead to lifelong consequences. Lily wants the love her parents have. Adam has secrets and vulnerabilities he hides that make this difficult for him.
Over the course of the story, Adam unveils his secrets to Lily, they face the challenges his career choices, and they learn to meet more that each others' physical needs.
The chemistry between these two is smoking hot- they cannot get enough of each other. I love when they support each other during their story. I also love it when they stand up for what they need in certain moments. There are cultural influences to how they react to their surprise and how their families greet their relationship that I really enjoyed. I loved the support they each had from their friend group. The setting is fantastic and the pacing of the story was very good. Like book one of the series each chapter leads off with a quote and music plays an integral part throughout the story. This book is written in third person from a dual POV.

Not bad but I was hoping for more
I was really hoping book 2 in the series would more polished than book 1. The main characters had great chemistry, their story was a little laborious at times, Lilly crumples way too much (pregnany hormones or not) from who she was in book 1. Adam is charming, funny and honest, but clueless in even the "fuck-buddy" head space, a little arrogance is good but alpha or not he had too much. The descriptive sex scenes were done better than in book 1, but need a bit more - you should feel like you need a man right away, or do a drink or a smoke after reading a sex scene because it's that awesome! My biggest pet-peeve (in general with all authors) is when the cover of the book doesn't match the description of the characters in the book! In this case Lilly is described with a light brown and pixie-cut hairstyle the woman on cover of the book has really long black hair....kinda throws the reader off when visualizing the characters in a book. Hoping that book 3 will more than a 3-star rating and less grammatical errors.

Mika Jolie's "Need You Now" has become a true favorite of mine. I have now read all of the series books 1-4 in her Martha's Way series and I loved everyone. Lilly and Adam started out as casual partners whose relationship grew over time... I think Adam's mom summed it up when she told him, "No woman can go that long without getting somewhat emotionally invested."
They were not suppose to be in a relationship but both were exclusively involved sexually? Yeah, Right! They were only fooling themselves...
But I love the way this story turned out...read it for yourself and tell me what you think! I LOVED IT!!

This book was so good and so fast to read. I read it in few hours!
Once again we meet at Marta's and this was like coming back home. This time we get to know other pair - Liliana and Adam who have only a physical relationship for over than one year. But will they be able to create something more in this relationship due to pregnacy? I can promise this will be a ourney full of laugh and cry.
Characters are full-dimensional, and even better than in book 1. Each one (Adam and Lily) has some past that can be really hard, but to be together they need to overcome it. Adam as stubborn as he is - will he allow Lily behind his walls? Lily was hurt by her ex fiance and she wasn't looking for love relatinship - will she be able to fall in love again? To know the ansers you need to read this book.
Even as books are marked as standalone, to full pleasure i recommend to read them in order as events are little connected.

I loved everything about this book except how hard Liliana had to work to get Adam to open up about his feelings and quick she always was to take him back even though she said multiple times she wouldn't settle for less than love. The best parts for me were the sizzling chemistry between Adam and Liliana, the surprise pregnancy, snippets of Claire and Forrest's connection, Minka and Jason's beautiful wedding and the tragic childhood Adam had.
