I lobed this book and it really is a very different plot from others, these two found drama where there shouldn’t have been any and kept me glued to their story from start to finish. Highly recommended read and all the other books she has written to, Ms. Wade is fast becoming a guilty pleasure of mine. 4.2* Read.
Maybe it’s the Blind Trust effect? This book is about Nina and Peter. She’s missing the companionship of her friend Becca both at and outside of work. She went and found herself her happily ever after with her old boss Ronan. Nina is really happy for the both of them, but she’s feeling a bit sad and lonely herself. A few months ago, Nina had overheard a couple of women on the subway talking excitedly about an exclusive dating club called Blind Trust. It wasn’t a dating agency or a $ex club – but something in between. I’d never heard of anything like it before, so I was just as intrigued as Nina! The way they operate is absolutely fascinating! She submits her application after yet another evening out where she gets hit on by an unwanted stranger. The problem in New York according to her is too many women, and not enough relationship-seeking men. Her first match was 93% which was promising, but she didn’t want to get her hopes up. So Nina didn’t tell Becca about it when she’d called. She’d wait until she had more to tell her, if anything. Nina is incredibly nervous as she enters the club and the room. Despite their vision and sound being muffled, her match notices her nerves and takes her hand to try to calm her. Breaking the rules, he takes out her ear bud and gently whispers, “I’ve got you” to her. Needless to say, that reassurance and that line got me, immediately! Totally swoon-worthy! Suffice to say, they have an incredibly sensual first date. It was so well-described that I felt (wished) that I was there too! While she’s excited for an eagerly-anticipated second date, she bumps into Peter from work, who also happens to be Becca’s brother. There’s a bit of a spark between them, and while they flirt innocently enough, she feels guilty because she’s sort of seeing someone else from the club. But Nina also sees him as off-limits and completely out of her league anyway. When he kindly offers to pay for her lunch and tells her, “I’ve got you”, she understandably panics, not believing her luck – or lack thereof. And then an office misunderstanding has her confronting him about it, making false accusations that could lead her to make some terrible decisions. But he makes a false assumption in turn later, which causes even more unnecessary drama. There’s a lot to work out! The characters were amazing and so well-described and scripted. They were sweet at times, and when they were ‘on’, they were really ‘on’! Nina and Peter were so incredibly hot and passionate together, and found it difficult to control themselves – so much so that others noticed what was going on before they were willing to disclose anything to anyone! And their hearts were so openly up for the taking, and when he’d said, “I wish I could keep you”, I audibly sighed and swooned! This story was fantastic, and I really didn’t want it to end! I’m already looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I think Drew and Eve’s story will be just as entertaining. And of course I’m hoping for an update on Nina and Peter! I give this book four and three quarter stars. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The characters in this story jump off the pages and start wiggling their way into your heart. They are really sweet and sexy. I loved the characters! Nina is blond, bubbly, curvy, intelligent and she can’t find anybody she wants to date twice. Nina works in the administrative pool at a large company. Peter is well built, handsome, gorgeous hair, great butt, workaholic and he doesn’t have time for women. Peter is a partner at the same company as Nina. Nina is also best friends with Peter’s sister. They very seldom do more then say hi. Each of them on their own have decided to try Blind Trust. Blind Trust is a different kind of dating experience. They rate your compatibility and set up the first date for you if you agree. You do not know anything about the person you are matched too. The difference in their dating approach is the first step is the sensual. You are blindfolded, you have touch but no talking. Nina had a amazing experience. Peter also enjoyed his time at Blind Trust. They are both blown away by their experience. This story is original - never have I read this storyline before. What will happen when the find out about who their partner is? The story has sizzle, steam, lusty passion and sexy smoking hot chemistry. It’s filled with several surprises, family drama, friends, rules broken, deception and sweet, sweet love. It’s a “can’t put it down”. It’s a crazy good story!.

Nina hasn't had a decent date in 2 years and she is feeling lonely after her best friend found her fiance. She has heard of a dating club called Blind Trust which made her curious. People fill out a lot of questionnaires and personality tests to get match with a date. The first date takes place at the club where the two can't really see or hear each other. They are allowed to touch each other as much as they want which often leads to intimacy. If they are willing, each date they learn more and more about each other. The club believes that only using smell and touch keeps people from judging each other. Nina signs up and they find her a 93% match. The first date goes extremely well and she has the best sex she has ever had. She is looking forward to the next date when she runs into her best friend's brother, Peter. She is horrified to figure out that Peter was her match in Blind Trust because not only he is her best friend's brother but he is also one of the big bosses at her job. The company has a strict employee non-fraternization policy.

Nina is lonely and tries a dating club called Blind Trust. Unable to see or hear the other person, they get to know each other through touch. It takes all other distractions away and seems very effective for producing a strong relationship.
Nina is excited to experience her next date at the club when she runs into one of the big bosses in the cafeteria at her workplace, one of the partners of Pierce Goodman and the top earner in the Venture Capital team, and is also her best friend's brother, Peter Greer. She is surprised he is so easy to tease and talk to, and they both seem to have similar tastes in cafeteria food. At the cashier, he pays for both of their trays and, as she objects, he responds, “I’ve got you.” She tenses immediately. Those were the very words her date at Blind Trust used that momentary time when she took out her ear plug. He can’t be her date, can he? But she knows that he is…
Not only is this man her best friend's brother, but he is also a Partner at the firm and totally off-limits. She can’t allow herself to be with him again. But how will she ever let him go?
Dancing on the Balcony. Awesome book. Peter and Nina work for the same company but, he is higher up the ranks than she is. Therefore, they rarely speak at work. They only know each other because Peter’s sister is Nina’s best friend. When they both sign up for a unique blind date experience, blind being the key word here, everything is fantastic. Until Nina figures out that Peter was her date for that evening and cancels the second date. They can’t date because of work rules. But, what happens when neither of them can let go? Months of sneaking around is what. Peter ends things, after a fantastic weekend away, when he finds out Nina is scheduled for another blind date. Nina doesn’t understand what happened and is miserable without him. Once she figures it out will she be able to fix things between them or will Peter not believe her that it was a misunderstanding? Stop by Banked Up. You might hear something interesting.

Peter is Becca’s brother from book 1 in this series and Nina is Becca’s best friend. The two have had very little interaction despite their connection. When the two join a dating club (having no idea the other belongs) that works dating backwards with the first encounter in the dark with earplugs in so that the connection is physical only and end up matched and spend a mind blowing “date” together agreeing through the club to see each other again, things get very complicated when Nina realizes that Peter is the guy she matched when he repeats (innocently in conversation) the only thing she heard him say while they were together that first encounter and recognizes his voice. Since they work for the same company with a strict non-fraternization policy they have to figure out how to ignore the connection to each other or agree to see each other to get it out of their system in secret all without falling in love. Complicated is an understatement!.

OMG this book is so good. It is one of the best romcoms I have ever read. There is so much humor and so many laugh out loud spots in this book. Nina and Peter are so hot together and the steamy scenes, oh my I'm on fire. They meet on a blind date, and I mean blind. They are both blindfolded and have ear plugs too but this Blind Trust company gives them a 93.7% chance of a perfect match. The problem is they both work at the same company that has a ridiculous and very strict non-fraternization policy. When they find out they are their own blind dates then they have decide how to get around the company policy. But this is such a great read, so hilarious in parts and I learned a new word too "inapproprogiggleitis' . So hot too, loved the steamy scenes with Peter and Nina and wanted them to be happy together. This book really grabbed me from page one and I loved it. Excellent read!.

Nina Shaw is Becca’s best friend. Peter Greer is Becca’s big brother. Nina and Peter work for the same company. Their company has a non-fraternization rule. Nina signs up for a different dating match company. It matches you by sexual compatibility, you wear blindfolds, and if you hit it off, you date each other. Nina goes on her first date and enjoys herself immensely. They agree to date again. She accidentally discovers her date was Peter and she freaks out due to the fact he’s her best friend’s brother and a partner in her company. Peter is looking for forever and agrees with Nina they need to forget their first date. Little do they know it won’t be as easy to forget as they thought. Throw in a meddling sister, helpful friend, a cab driver, some comedy, some sexy times, and you have a great second book in this series.

I freely admit that I had no business starting this book at 9 PM. I thought that I would read a bit and then go to sleep. No one should ever think that about a Megan Wade book!! I HAD to finish it and was I glad that I did! Nina is Becca’s best friend. Peter is Becca’s older brother. Just to keep it interesting, Nina and Peter work together. They both go to an exclusive dating club where both blindfolds and earplugs are worn. You really cannot see who you are set up with. Nina and Peter are matched and have an incredible time together. They even set up another date. Unfortunately, they realize who the other person is an decide that it was a one time deal and will just forget about it. The funny thing about forgetting about things like that is that you can’t just forget. This was an incredible book!! I loved it and have the lack of sleep to show for it! I will be rereading this one!.

The second novel in Megan Wade's outstanding The Curves of Wall St., Wall St. Rascal is a brilliantly-written, hot and steamy, entertaining best friend's brother / boss rom-com. Peter and Nina have off-the-charts chemistry from the beginning - even before they realize they are each other's match through an exclusive dating club. However, the fact that Nina is Peter's sister, Becca's, best friend - and that they both work for a Wall Street venture capital company that has a firm no-fraternization rule - leads them to a secret arrangement to try and get one another "out of their systems". But how long before the Wall St rascal and the bubbly researcher catch feelings?
A page-turner, must-read, steamy rom-com, from the always-fabulous Megan Wade!

📕 Tropes/Themes: 🌷Light Fluff Read 🌷Grumpy/Sunshine 🌷Office (Forbidden) Romance 🌷Over the top (OTT) Romance 🌷Dual PoV (First Person) 🌷Open Door 🌷Spice 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌷Happily Ever After 🌷Book 2 in series / Recurring characters. Read in sequence to understand better.
🌷 Overall rating: 2⭐️ Like the first book in the series - you shouldn’t take this too seriously. Or even remotely seriously at all. I read these when I want to read but don’t want to get REALLY involved with a storyline or characters. So mostly, escapism.
That being said, this story was even more ridiculous than the first one. However, some of the side characters are quite likeable. Like Drew. I might read the next book in the series for him… in some distant as yet undecided future date.
Oh, and the dating club idea - Blind Trust - I found that intriguing and original.
It seems cruel to match two people and have it turn out they can’t be together. — Nina
It’s not very often that a romance story make me tear up. Peter and Nina know they can’t be together. Their livelihoods depend on it. But they can’t help their attraction. There is one scene where I teared up along with Nina. I think Peter had the best lines in this story. He was just as torn up about their circumstance as Nina.
“How the h€ll am I supposed to get over you? — Peter
I loved Nina and Peter’s story. It was sweet and steamy but it also had its poignant moments. The ending was perfect.

A forbidden workplace romance with the best friend's brother - you know it's going to be fraught with trouble but that's what makes it so enjoyable. Watching Peter and Nina fight their attraction the entire book to finally find their happy ending.
The Blind Trust dating service sounded very intriguing. The encounter at the beginning was incredibly sexy and started the book off with a bang (pun intended).
I think I enjoyed this book better than the first in the series. I was happy we got to see a bit more into Ronan and Becca's story too. I also loved the set up for Drew's and Eve's story. Looking forward to reading about them.

WOW – I love this – but I’m sorry that I missed the first book of this series. This is a new series involving the characters left from the Wrong, Wright series. I cannot believe I missed the first book with Ronan, which I was eager to read, but somehow missed.
This book is about Nina and her best friend’s brother, Peter. The first story involves Becca, Peter’s sister, and Nina’s best friend, with Ronan, who also worked with Peter. So everyone knows each other, but this time a club is involved that pairs people up close to 100% compatible. Of course not knowing who you are paired up with is an issue until Nina figures it out and needs out! Love the story and can’t wait to read about Drew!
This is book number 2 of The Curves of Wall St. series and focuses on Peter and Nina. We met Peter and Nina in book 1 of the series which focused on Peter’s sister and Nina’s best friend Becca. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Peter after how he acted in book 1 but I was so glad that he turned out to be so much different than he was initially portrayed in book 1. Nina and Peter get together in a very unconventional way but man was it great! They have some ups and downs that stand in their way of their happily ever after but thankfully they are able to navigate well and end up getting their HEA. This was a great story and a great addition to the series!

This is book 2 in the series and can be read as a standalone but I think the books are best read in order. This was so much fun!! Nina was feeling lonely, her best friend was engaged and she couldn’t even get a decent date! She joined Blind Trust, a new way of dating and was matched with Peter, her best friends brother, but as they couldn’t see each other neither realised. They had amazing chemistry and the story was so hot and steamy! It was so much fun watching things develop and then realising who the other was! Really well written story that was fun and engaging from beginning to end. The HEA was fantastic.

Enjoyed this book a lot. Loved the descriptions of Nina and Peter's "date" encounter. Peter is Nina's best friends brother but didn't know he was her love encounter. I've read other books referring to the encounter they had but just a little different. Both were really good. Anyway, once Nina figured out who her encounter was with she tried to block it because...they worked at the same company too! You'll have to read what they go through. You'll like their trusty cab driver too. The book is centered in NYC with a side trip to Chicago. Two cities I personally enjoy. Friends, family and co-workers were all cool too. Going on to the next book now. Written by Cindy :)
This book is a nice story of Nina & Peter. Peter is the brother of Nina’s BFF Becca and works as a partner in the company where she is in the admin pool. They have seen each other at events but never really went any further as the company has a no fraternising policy. However Nina signs up for a new dating site called Blind Trust and your first encounter is with a blindfold and ear plugs and her first date with a 93% match is Peter. Once they learn about each other they know they can’t stay together so decide to smexy each other out their systems. There aren’t any major trauma or tragedies in this book just a couple who fall for each other and don’t know how to navigate work and personal life.
This is the second book of the series is kind of the standalone story, but it references the first book plus the main characters are part of this story also, so it will be nice that you know their story too. This is the story of Nina and Peter; Peter is the brother of the Nina's best friend, and she was the main character in book 1. After signing for an unusual date service, they spend the night together. So, what they going to do? Read it and find out, this is a spicy story with and alpha male and a feisty heroine, no cheating and a HEA. Ps. can't wait for the next one.

Nina and Peter, the lead characters, meet at an anonymous dating club where people start with sex/intimacy and work back to dating. When she recognises Peter’s voice at work, she is stunned - he’s both her boss and her best friend’s brother!
But they both want the sex, so they agree to a fling until the interest wears off. But it doesn’t…
This story is dual POV, well written, and a hot and steamy and sweet romance. I appreciated the character and relationship development, as well as the integration of characters from previous stories.

Great follow-up to ‘Wall St Jerk’. I enjoyed the unusual way Peter & Nina meet & become intimate, each not knowing the identity of each other. Fast-forward into an encounter in the office canteen and Nina’s awful realisation that one of the partners in the venture capitalist firm where she is a lowly administrator, is her ‘mystery man’! I loved their encounters become steamier as the story proceeds whilst they are trying to keep their relationship ‘under wraps’ so they don’t both lose their jobs. After misunderstanding and reconciliations, I particularly loved the sigh-worthy proposal scene. A great romantic read from Megan Wade.
Wow I wish I had known of Miss Wade’s work sooner cause I absolutely loved this book. The couple Nina and Peter were phenomenal between the absolute hot chemistry and the desire to not cause harm to others they were just goals. I loved how they both grew throughout the book in how they realized that maybe they were just the right pair despite the circumstances. I will say I loved the blind date aspect of this book because it was done in such a way that left me fanning myself throughout the whole scene. If you’re looking for a steamy will they won’t they romance you’ve found the right one.

I absolutely loved Wall St. Rascal, book 2 in the new series, The Curves of Wall Street by Megan Wade. As a big fan of Megan Wade, I am always on the alert for new releases. After watching her best friend fall in love, Nina takes a chance by signing up with a dating service that offers very unusual experiences. Imagine her surprise when she is matched with her best friend's brother Peter. Not only is she his sister's best friend but she also works with Peter. Between Peter's trust issues and Nina's reluctance to jeopardize her friendship with Becca and her job, will these two get their HEA? I definitely recommend reading their story.
