This is the second book in the Boys of RDA series.

Simone Stevens is on a much needed vacation in the Bahamas with her family. She needed to recharge from the daily hustle and bustle of life in New York City. However, on her vacation there isn't much relaxation to be had because her mother and sister insist on scoping out men for her to meet. Needing a break from their incessant pestering, she heads to the bar to grab them drinks. There, she literally bumps into a very gorgeous man. They converse a little but she ultimately has to get back to her family so she reluctantly says her goodbyes.

That evening, her sister decides she wants to go to a club, and being the protective sister that she is, Simone escorts her to the club but doesn't feel like clubbing so she hangs back at the bar to make sure her sister is ok. And who just happens to be there but the gorgeous man she bumped into earlier. They end up hanging out and getting to know each other all night. It was the best day Simone has had in quite some time and she was reluctant again to say her goodbyes to him.

Trey Good is the CEO of a gaming company in San Francisco and is forced to take a vacation to the Bahamas by his friend and business partner, Finn, in hopes that it will lighten Trey up. He is always so wound up and honestly sometimes hard to get along with. So while on vacation, he is bumped into by a beautiful woman. They do not get much time to get to know each other until they run into each, not literally this time, that evening. They talk and laugh the night away. Trey isn't ready to say goodbye to Simone that evening, so they make plans to spend the next day together. They spend all day together and their plans have them still together well into the evening. The two of them feel as if they have known each other for years. There is just such an easy camaraderie between them and it is just so comfortable.

Simone hasn't felt this attracted to or connection with anyone ever, even men she dated in the past. She has just known Trey for a couple days, but she is already attached to him. Trey is set to leave soon and she doesn't want things to end, so she makes the most of their time together and they agree to have a vacation fling. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they get to take things as far as they would have liked.
Once back in New York, Simone is ready to get back to work. However, an unexpected opportunity arises and she finds herself living in San Francisco. She dares not hope that now that she and Trey are in the same city, they will be able to pick up where they left off. Simone is faced with other challenges and heart ache as well, so things may not go according to her desires.

I enjoyed reading the story of Simone and Trey. The way they were so easily comfortable with each other, to me, are always the best relationships and ones I love to read about. Simone was a wonderfully written character. Her strength and intelligence made her so likeable. Most female characters I read usually annoy me, and make the book less enjoyable to me, but I was so thankful that Simone was not that character. Trey I absolutely loved. Even though he had a tendency to be a jerk, there was a kindness to him that I got to see and, as a whole, made me adore his character. I would have to say my only criticism of the book was how it ended abpruptly. I was looking forward to reading more about Simone and Trey's relationship. Other than that, I loved the book. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Trey and Simone decide to have a vacation fling as she lives in new York and hes lives in San Francisco so know it wouldn't really work they get to know each other and enjoy there time together which makes its really hard when they say goodbye even though trey seems really cold when he leaves. Things change once Simone gets back to NY from vacation where she's offered a promotion and guess where it is San Francisco deep down she things she will maybe run into try and they will have this great rekindle relationship well they do run into each other but it's bit all what it cracks up to be which Simone later finds out when treys secret comes to light will they pull through plus with treys hot and cold personality can she handle him.

This is book two in the boys of RDA series. I recommend reading book one in the series because it's a really good book. You could probably just read this Book as a stand alone but the whole series is good and you'll get more details starting from the beginning. Simone Stevens is on vacation with her family on a tropical island when she meets Trey Good. He is a CEO for a gaming company. Simone lives in NYC while Trey lives in San Francisco so while a real relationship isn't liable to happen they decide to have a vacation fling and just enjoy the few days together. When the vacation is over they both go back to their lives. Simone's life is turned upside down and she realizes that their relationship is not over. There's a lot of secrets and things and you don't know if they'll be able to survive post vacation. I found this book to be very good and well written. It's a super fast and easy read with just enough smut to keep me from getting bored. I love the back and forth between the characters and the fact that there is a good camaraderie. Trey was a big jerk in book one so I am glad that the author did a whole book for him so we could see him in a different light. I enjoyed reading about Trey and Simone immensely and am excited to read about the other characters in the book!

[Khanique McDaniel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well this was definitely a more hilarious and complicated story, even if it followed the same pace as Rush. Maybe it's the San Fran vibe?

Simone and Trey are perfect as a couple but they certainly shine as individuals as well. They compliment each other and don't need the other to carry a scene. I actually wish it was dual POV because Trey's blunt honesty was equal parts hilarious and refreshing.

Once again, what I expect is not what I got. These gamers sure know how to switch it up on you and I loved getting to know more about the guys past and the game. I think with each novel, I get a better understanding and want to play the silly thing.

There are real conflicts this go but I wish there wasn't so much fade to black. The author introduces us to some mighty big issues only to gloss over them in summaries. If you're going to tackle cancer, drugs and embezzlement scandals, you have to bring it! A mere mention will never be enough and what happened with Mari? I feel like that chapter needs a proper closing.

Believe it or not, this novel moved from a vacation fling to a tale of serendipity but they didn't have sex until some where in the 70 percentile and while it is totally different from Aspen and Finn's steamy romps, it wasn't worth the wait either. With as honest as the man is, I expected at least a little dirtier talking.

Simone was a totally out of left field but perfect addition to this cast of characters. She took everything with grace and humour and made a fantastic narrator. I was never bored with her and she navigated the MANY issues thrown her way with grace and comedy.

"All my muscles tense and ready to run from her if needed. I'm not a fighter if she gets past Trey. I'm more of the runner variety."

She didn't play hard to get and I loved it when she broke down all the relationships. Her finance background showed even when her 10am task was to set out donuts.

I like that we don't lose or forget about previous characters, so I look forward to her going back to where she belongs in her career in future novels and I must say the preview to Grind has already snagged my attention.

A perfect romance comedy that I could see easily being a movie, there was nothing lagging about this story. If only it was longer or a duet to give these two the time needed to savour and luxuriate in the different stages of their relationship.

So have you read the first book in the RDA series?! If you haven't don't worry you can still read it after this it seems these can be read as a stand alone or in a series and with the amount of yummy man candy in these books who wouldn't want to read both!! so let me tell you a little about this book the second one I n the series focuses on Trey the strong and quiet type or is just moody who knows but hes hot! And we get to see a little more of the softer side of him in the book it mainly revolves around him and Simone. Trey is the CEO of RDA games and he is tall dark and handsome some times he comes across as a little to strong and but he cant help but be smitten with Simone, the fiery blonde, with blue eyes and long legs he has to get to know her. Simone is a 2o something account from New York city, she loves her job and is content with her life that is until she is on vacation with her family and literally runs into this tall dark stranger. The spark between the two of them is insistent and come on its vacation why not go for it . Tho for these two fate has of the hands in the mix thinking it will be a quick fling and that's all with Trey living and ruining a company in San Francisco and Simone living New York, it is fast, but they end up with second chance when Simone is transferred to San Francisco. So come on read along t his book is sure to have a little of everything for everyone and did I mention it has video games in it hot guys, video games and some killer french toast. You also get to see a little of your favorite characters from the first book yes aspen and Finn are in this book to! We all loved them right I mean come on aspen so sweet! And she and Simone get close through out his book so we get all the girly stuff we like from the first in to the second. So crack this pages open and fall in love with Trey and Simone on their wild journey to love and happiness.

I liked this second installment and loved Trey and Simone, but I felt like there was something missing and after two days I have finally figured it out. There isn’t any reference to Simone’s friends or family after the beginning quarter to third of the story except for a brief conversation with her sister. Think there could have been more than there was. There were tears shed by me a few times.
Simone is on vacation with her parents and sister on a tropical island somewhere and all Simone’s mother does is try to find a man for Simone. She is more than ready to have grandchildren and with Simone being in her mid-twenties her mom feels she is taking too long.
After her mother points out a walking carpet she has enough and decides she needs a drink and goes to get one for all of them. As she is leaving the bar and the walking carpet who approached her she ends up running into Trey.
They run into one another again later that night and flirt and decide to have a “vacation fling”. Simone is tough, sassy and ballsy when she and Trey first meet and don’t think they have a future and I loved that. She and Trey spend the last three days together knowing that they will never get together since he is in San Francisco and she is in New York.
After returning to her normal life in New York she finds out she has been given a promotion and is being transferred to San Francisco. She wants to try and look up Trey but doesn’t want him to think she is a stalker. She goes to a work event with her boss who is a condescending misogynist and they run into each other. He is shocked and happy to see her.
Their relationship doesn’t have the normal twists but they are good for one another and I have really enjoyed both books in the series so far. I’m really looking forward to the next installment.

5 star review
Lag by Megan Matthews is the second installment in her Boys of RDA series. Lag tells the story of New Yorker Simone Stevens and San Franciscan Trey Good, CEO of RDA. Simone is single and loving it. She is enjoying her island vacation with her family, despite the matchmaking machinations of her mother. She has no interest in an island romance and the only thing she wants to work on is her tan. That all changes during an accidental meeting with Trey Good. While their first encounter is not ideal, they both feel an instant attraction to each other. They start a vacation “fling” that lasts a few days and ends when they go their separate ways. Fate conspires to bring them back together at a later date. But Trey is not the relaxed man from the islands and Simone is confused by the changes. Life changing experiences, a jealous ex, and family crisis threaten to keep Simone and Trey apart.

I like this series by Megan Matthews. She has an easy to read writing style. Her characters are well developed and complex. The heroines especially are very relatable and genuinely likable. If I have any criticism of this novel, it is that at times during to book, I really did not like Trey. But honestly, I did not like him in the first novel of the series either. He can be quite rude at times and is not my “type” of guy. But by the end of the book, the changes he makes to win Simone bring him back into my good graces. This was a good love story and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Lag is the second book in the RDA series. RDA is a video game development company owned by Finn, who book one focused on and operated by Trey Good, who book two focuses on.
Although book two focuses on Trey, it is told in the point of view of Simone. Trey and Simone meet on vacation In the Bahamas. They decided they would have a vacation fling. Trey is a CEO of RDA in San Francisco and Simone is an Executive Assistant for an Accounting firm in New York. They live on opposite sides of the country, so anything after their vacation could never work. They have a magical few vacation days.
On her first day back to work in NY, Simone is offered a promotion. The catch to the promotion is that it is in San Francisco. The perks to the promotion, not to mention the proximity to Trey, are so great that Simone cant possibly turn the promotion down.
At one of her first events for her new job, she runs into Trey. Of course, they start something up, but can a vacation fling be a serious relationship? Can Simone live with Trey’s secret once she finds out?
I absolutely LOVE the RDA series. These men are so nerdy but so sexy at the same time, something you don’t often find in a romance novel. This book had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions. It also had me go through almost half a box of tissues bawling my eyes out. To me, that’s the best kind of book! I would highly recommend Lag to anyone looking for a good read!! 5 Stars!

Lag by Megan Matthews
4 Stars

This is book two to the series The Boys of RDA. The book is written in such a way that it can be read as a standalone. It was enjoyable to delve deeper in the character of Trey Good. I didn't like him much in part one but after reading this book, I'm glad the author decided to focus on him. It was nice to peel back some layers and see the real him. I like him much better now.

Simone Stevens has an exhausting and demanding career so she decides to take a much needed vacation with her family. Unfortunately her mother tries setting her up with every male around the pool. Simone accidentally bumps into Trey which leads to a very pleasant vacation. Too bad all good things come to an end and each heads back home without exchanging phone numbers. Fate always gets what she wants. Arriving back in New York, Simone gets a promotion that moves her across the country to California. San Francisco, to be exact, the same city Trey lives in. This changes the course of their lives.

Trey bumps into her at a business function and realizes he has a solid chance at being happy. As luck would have it, situations get in the way. A death in Simone’s family, Trey’s crazy ex- girlfriend and of course, no communication. Though there are hurdles to climb, when two people are meant to be together, love will always conquer all. I enjoyed reading their story and look forward to reading more of this series.

Lag by Megan Matthews is the second book in the Boys of RDA series. Simon Stevens is on vacation and all she wants is a tan. Working with high class clients in New York has pushed her to needing this time not just wanting it. Her mom wants her to use this time to find a man, she thinks her clock is ticking, but Simon just wants to relax. That is until she literally elbows the man of her dreams in a not so good place.
Trey Good is tall, tan, and handsome. His life is in San Francisco as the CEO of a gaming company. He is the all work and no play type, but lets loose while on vacation. They both decide to make it a vacation fling but can they both keep their feelings under control? Once vacation is over, Simon’s life changes drastically sending her to the west cost, San Francisco to be exact. Trey is not the same charming guy he was on vacation, he is all work back home. Can they find their footing back in reality? Or will they crash and burn? Secrets come out and hearts are broken but anything that is broken can be fixed.
Lag is an amazing story. It’s nerd vibe mixed with steamy romance will pull you in. It has comedy, drama, sadness, and romance; a perfect combination. I love the push and pull of the story and I love that it doesn’t just revolve around the romance side, Simon makes friends and builds other relationships not just with Trey. I’m absolutely in love with the Boys of RDA series and can not wait for more!

Book two in The Boys of RDA, Lag, By Megan Matthews was a nice read, if you read book one RUSH you know the story of Finn and Aspen. Book two is the story of Simone and Trey. In book one Trey comes off like a huge douche, in this story he still does. Haha. Simone and Trey meet on a cruise by her accidently hitting him in his crowned jewels, and they spend the remaining days just hanging out. They are in two different cities it would never work if they tried for more right? But what if one of them were given the opportunity to move, and that opportunity just happened to be in the same city the other one lived in… With another random meeting they get reacquainted, and build their friendship from there. When family issues with Simone come into play, and Treys current and past comes out to play will they survive or will Simone run? Can Trey stand up for his relationship with Simone when others try to force them apart…. The boys of RDA are becoming a quick favorite of mine, it’s not everyday you read about the nerdy guy getting the girl and it’s a nice change of scenery in the book world. The story line is very well written and had nice smooth transitions switching from Simones point of view to Treys. Megan Matthews is on to a great series with the boys of RDA I can’t wait until i read the next one.

After reading Rush, I was so excited to read the rest of the series. I did have a bit of a soft spot for Trey in the first book. So, I was really glad that he got his own book and was able to tell his story so that we could understand him a bit better.
Simone is awesome. There are no other words to describe her. Her and Trey make such a good couple and I am glad they met how they did. I was actually laughing out loud to that bit.
Trey at times in the book was very sweet and it made me love him. Although, there were also times when I actually could not tolerate him.

‘Life is made by the people we live it with. You’ve made my days’ worth living and I want you in everyone. For so long I’ve worked to made RDA what it is, but meeting you in beach showed me another way. I’m working hard to be a better man’

I always say that you can tell a decent author by their taste in music. For me I automatically love the author if they mention Daughtry. So This book scored loads of extra points for that.
Overall, I actually loved this book. I love this series because I love how the male protagonists are actually massive nerds. It is nice to have a different type of male lead in a book. Bring on book 3! I am so excited to read that one.

[Ronel Olver · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a new author and series for me and I found the book to be engaging and very interesting and it held my attention the end. Great story line with well defined characters and personalities and lots of gaming references, as I am not a gamer I appreciated that the author elaborated on some of the terms in the book like "lag". I have not read any of the prior books but I did not feel like I was missing out at all. When Simone and Trey meet for a second time at a work function, Trey is a completely horrible person and while both grow as individuals as well as a couple, Trey definitely developed the most and was actually easy to like, and enjoy the budding romance.

The supporting characters and relationships between them were realistic and well done and elevated and supported the plot and overall feel of the book. I loved the women in the book, each had a quirky, fun, warm and lovable personality.

Simone is on vacation with her family. He father is off golfing, her sister is ready to let loose, and her mother well is trying to set her up with every guy out there. At the bar she accidentally elbows the sexiest man she has ever seen. On a chance meeting again they decide to have a vacation fling for the rest of the time they are there. It goes no further because she is from New York and he is from San Francisco. When he job promotes her to San Francisco she jumps at the chance. What are the odds of seeing him again right. Well they are great, because she sees him again and this time he wants her and will stop at nothing to get her. But life has a way of throwing us the curve balls we never expected.
I will admit i cried like a baby at this book. I laughed like a crazy person and i just couldn't put it down. This book, this series, sucks you in and you think about it for days after. I look forward to next book.

*a few spoilers*
I'm not sure where to start. The beginning of this story starts off great and then died immediately after a death in the family. Trey and Simone have a little chemistry, nothing about their actions or reactions made it seem like they were really into each other. They meet by accident and go their separate ways without so much as a kiss. Now, back to the death in the family, it through me off completely. For me, it could've made an entrance on a different book, not a charming love story. Especially, when the handsome rich guy has no clue what's going on. It just didn't match the story. ALSO, when Trey and Simone finally do the deed, it's no sparks, nada, nothing!! Although, the writing is good, it was too long. I was skimming a lot towards the end.
I really don't know how this has 4 stars let alone 5.

Simone and Trey meet at an island resort. He is alone and she is with her family. After a few days, he goes to San Francisco and she goes back to New York. Immediately she is transferred to the San Francisco office due to some major problems. They see each other at a gala and he starts to get possessive. Their romance get stronger and then his fake ex, Mari, shows up at a reception and Simone leaves broken hearted. On the way home, she gets a call her mom is dying of cancer. The characters are terrific with depth from backstories and intense emotions. The suspense regarding the EX, from trash talk and threatening comments to actually putting filth in the local paper, as well as the trust issue between Simone and Trey, keep the story on edge. The ending is definitely worth the read.

This is book two in The Boys of RDA series. This is Trey Good 's story. This character comes with layers and we get to know him alot better in this book. Simone is at the beach for tan, not a man. Trey is at the beach for his only vacation. The two hit it off and agree to keep each other company for the remaining of their trip. Of course the trip comes to an end but does their fling? I enjoyed reading thus story and getting to know more of Trey. He was a character that I could give or take from book one but it was a pleasure to read his HEA.story. I look forward to more stories in this series. Enjoy!

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Book two in the Boys of RDA series is about Trey and Simone. They live on opposite sides of the country but paradise brings them together. At the end of their time together, they just thought they were done with each other. Megan at times wishes they were done. They will have to work thru some obstacles to stay together. I thought the writing by Megan was well done one again. I personally did not think highly of Trey but the story was good.

Lag was a wonderful book full of emotions. Your emotions will run the gamut of emotions. Lag will keep you guessing and ends with the promised HEA. Well, there is a cliff hanger as Lag is the second book in the Boys of RDA. It can be read as a stand alone but would be better if you read the first book before this one so you get the references to the first book (or for those who did read the first book then the references from Finn’s and Aspen’s love story. Lag was engrossing enough that I didn’t want to put the book down and read it within a day. Highly recommended. Enjoy reading Lag, I don’t think you will regret it if you do. Enjoy!!

Book 2 in the RDA series. I was hoping for someone to be able to calm Trey down. He always seemed on edge. But after he explained how he can't fail Finn, I understood him a little more. Simone was the perfect person for him. I enjoyed reading the progression of their relationship and how Trey wouldn't give up. Aspen, Marissa, and Amanda brought Simone into the group and were there when she really needed someone.

Overall I liked the book, but the ending seemed a little rushed to me and left me with a few questions.

Simone Stevens meets gorgeous Trey Good on vacation in the Bahamas. Simone and Trey are attracted to each other but it would never work between them, as he's in San Francisco and she's in New York. When Simone gets back from her vacation, she accepts a promotion and moves to herr company's San Francisco office. What happens when Simone bumps into Trey in San Francisco?

Lag is a fun, drama-filled and steamy story that will pull you in. I can't wait to read Grind, Book 3 of The Boys of RDA series.

Lag take us back to the men of RDA. Trey is a complicated man who doesn't realize that he is in an unhealthy arrangement. Simone is easy going, yet determined to make her mark. These two meet while on vacation and agree to a fling.

Simone end up taking a promotion and ends up in San Francisco where Trey lives. They end up running into each other and sparks continue to fly. Can Trey workout his situation before he looses Simone? Can Simone move past all the obstacles that are continually thrown in her path?

Another book in the boys of RDA series. I loved this book, the instant connection between Simone and Trey was there from they first met when on holidays. What was meant to be a holiday fling turned into more when Simone got a promotion and moved cities and by fate met Trey again. Things didn’t run smoothly for them, especially when the crazy Mari finds out about them. A book full of love, romance, suspense, sadness and laughter. Definitely worth a Read! Can’t wait for the next one!

I am not sure just what it was about this book that could not keep me interested. The characters all felt a little bit flat and uninteresting. There were points where it was cute but it ended up coming across as rather lackluster in general which really surprised me since I love the Pelican Bay Security series so much. I will not give up on the series though and intend to continue reading it in the hope that this was just a one-time instance for Ms. Matthews and that the future books will improve.

I had really high hopes for this book as I loved the first one. It started off strong and fell to pieces. Then they never really put them back together. I was disappointed in how she just let him back in her life. I have read a lot of books where the guy is dominate but caring. Trey just was domineering, controlling and mean at times. You never do get the sense that he cares. Then it ends. Wasn’t a great book in my opinion.

Trey and Simone has an explosive chemistry even if he has he head in places where he cannot see it until it is almost too late. Simone's life takes a really bad turn, but with even this fate has great plans. We also see bits and pieces of Aspen and Finn from Rush. I loved how it played out and I would recommend it to others!
