Levi Crowe is a player and man-child, living a privileged life with a trust fund income he can just do whatever he wants. People flock to him or shall we say women and he welcomes them with a night of passion with no strings. Although deep down he is scared by the be trail of an ex-girlfriend and has his heart on locked for a long time until one night all that changes when he discovers the women who turns him down.
With this shock he is then plunged into shock when his parents have also had enough and take away all his money and make him go to work at the family law office, Levi thinks this is a bad idea until he turns up and does not have his corner but is an assistant but what is even more unreel is that the lawyer he is assisting is no other than Kindle James the woman who turned him down in the bar.
Things become interesting and can Kindle reignite the fire and ambition deep in Levi to be a great lawyer and a better person?
This is he first story I have read by this author and it was well written and the characters where well developed. To say I was not a fan of Levi in the first few chapters would have been an understatement, his constant whining and pitiful destruction was not my cup of tea and to be honest I was his friends I would have told him to do one, lol.
Then, half way through the book you started to see the true character of Levi which was great to read, although I wish this had started earlier, the way the author wrote the two main characters weaving through there feelings was brilliant but I felt at times that it was a bit rushed.
Saying that the storyline was brilliant and it did have me deeply engrossed wanting to find out will they, won't they but unfortunately I am staying mum and you will have to read the book to find out. I would like to read more of this author and especially see the stories if their are regarding the secondary characters in the book and how there relationships started and bloomed.
This was a great story with relatable and lovable characters in it. My love for this book is prompting me to explore the rest of the series and meet the other characters. Levi was a guy on a higher mission. He wanted to lose his party boy ways and find his happily ever after, but was fearful of the rejection. As the story develops Kindle is introduced and our party boy starts to find his way and live his life differently. Kindle and Levi together are quite the pair and the connection and dynamic between them both will make it difficult for you to put this book down.
Now it’s Levi’s turn to grow up. I’ve followed each of these characters and love each one of them. I have enjoyed watching each one with their challenges and it makes it all seem more real. Leaving is no exception. He loves wild until the one he wants he can’t have. It’s funny how life throws you right where you need to be sometimes. We watch Levi mature and become the person he’s suppose to be. Great book
Right from the start, the story drew me in. Levi is a party boy that has a lot more going on in his head and heart than meets the eye. His antics at the start are entertaining to witness along side him. It also helps that the story is written in second person and even has moments where the MC engages with the reader to make you feel like you are being told a story from a friend. Once Levi starts putting an effort into putting his life on track, his world view totally changes, and he is put in a position where he is trying to reach a future, and trying not to let his past hinder him. The romance is quite sweet as well. Initially unrequited feelings that slowly start to turn into more. Also, Kindle is such an awesome and powerful female MC. The story is short, but didn't leave me wanting. The romance seems quick, but was still satisfying. In general, this is a quick, fun, and spicy read that will be entertaining until the very end. This is book five in the series, and admittedly I did not read the others, but I had no trouble following along with the story. I do have the sense that there are many background stories with side characters that I am missing information on, so I definitely intend to go back and read the other books.
Levi is just an grown up manchild. His dad calls him out and cuts off his funds. Time to get a job and be a man. After getting an STD, Levi has to depend on his law career, he goes into his dad's firm. Miss Kindle James is his supervisor. It turns out she's the hotty out who's not into him and has no qualms telling him off. I loved this story. The chemistry is there. The sparks are so hot that you could start a fire. Dad is a little overbearing. His friends are awesome. All the hard-time giving and wives teasing him was so entertaining as I watched him grow up. Kindle was just as into him as he was for her. She just wasn't giving up her career goals. The plot was well-developed. Levi matured as we got to watch him develop into a real man who realized what he wanted and went for it. Now, the crazy roommate, that was insane. I'd have run her over. Stalk much, she was nuts. Plot twist at the end was excellent, didn't see that. This author writes really great romance. So realistic and feels like they could be twisted right from today's love lines. The characters felt real. I loved Mom with dropping hints for a shopping buddy. I loved everything about this story. Well done! You must read this.
I have loved this author for some time now for all the work and beauty they create when they write. I was hooked upon this latest installment in the series. It was great and full of the things I love that this author can do and create in all they write. It was a good read that I surely enjoyed!
I really loved the relationship build between Levi ad Kindle. Their time together was far from easy, and to get to certain points they really had to work hard at it. I mean Levi went through a lot of character changes, and his change in himself was very realistic, and I very much admired that. I loved the side of Kindle that was strong, but could melt at certain things that Levi could be. I loved their moments together, none of it was easy, and they say good things in life you have to work hard for it, and in which they did over and over again but, not right away. I loved how real the characters were and the story was. I had emption all over, and felt so much. All in all, I loved this read and enjoyed every moment of it!
Wonderful read and great addition to the series by a very talented author. The author certainly knows how pull the reader in and hold them there. Highly recommend this book, a definite must read!
I enjoyed this book. Although, I have not read the rest of the series, I think it is easy to follow along without having the story from the other books. This was another book that I could not put down and finished in a day. “Squid: A rider who could use some training on his form and technique.” This is exactly the term to describe bachelor, Levi Crowe. He knows how to please the ladies but relationships, that is a whole new ballgame to this man. He has got everything he thinks he needs, fun times, friends, booze, and women that swarm around him. But he gets a rude awakening when Kindle enters the scene. She doesn’t want anything to do with this man, she has made it clear. So why can’t he get her out of his head? Levi goes through some challenges and some life changing events. He gets a stalker that he can’t seem to shake. He must excel at his career and change the way he looks at life. Will this be enough to land the girl of his dreams? Or will the life he knows come crashing down on him?
I enjoyed this contemporary romance which is book five in the ‘Motto X’ series, but it can be read as a standalone story. Levi Crowe is best known for being a good time, party boy, with plenty of money and a body that women drool over. His weekend ‘black outs’ are legendary and provide a good laugh to everyone, but him. Underneath, Levi is worn out and unhappy, but it’s not until the same women, the one he can’t get out of his head, continuously rejects him, that suddenly Levi wants his life to change. Levi manages to get his life back on track, and is happier, but then, the women who rejected him, Kindle James, comes into his life. When both their careers are at stake Levi has to prove himself, but not only to Kindle. Can he really be a functioning adult though, especially when he attracts the attention of a stalker. This fairly quick read is full of great characters, and a storyline which kept me happily turning the pages. An enjoyable and engaging read, and I’m now keen to read the previous books in this series.
For the past seven years, Levi has not had a care in the world and gave up his dream job all because his heart was shattered. Levi has everything women want. All the money he wants at the tips of his finger, sexy body, the life of the party every weekend and he has his pick of any woman he wants. Or so he thought! The night he was turned down for the first time ever would be the very same night his whole entire life would change. Kindle is a drop-dead gorgeous bad a**. Quick-witted with her sassy remarks and hidden under her leather jacket is one fierce lawyer. She has all her ducks in a row, great job on her way to making partner with the law firm, a cozy house with a crazy roommate, Kindle has it all. At least until Levi comes barging into her life. This is the first book I have read in the series but I was able to follow along rather quickly. It was a great fast-paced page-turner. I can't wait to read the other books in the series.
Squid (Moto X Book 5) by Brooke May. This series has been so fun. I can't wait to read the next and last one. This is the story of Levi is a spoiled brat man child. He is used to daddy taking care of him and when he gets cut off he's not sure what to do. He has to go back to his law degree and work with his dad to earn a living. Levi is not used to being turned down by women but when his new boss, Kindle James lights his fire she sets him straight really quick. She is his boss only, nothing more, nothing less. The only problem with that is once Levi sets his sights on something he doesn't quit until he has it. Truth be known Kindle really is attracted to Levi she just doesn't want it to interfere with her career. Will Levi wear Kindle down or will she keep her wall up so she can pursue her career? Read Squid to find out!
Levi is a man child whose favorite past time is woman, drinking and gaming. He has watched his friends find their special ladies but he isn't willing to risk his heart.
Kindle is a hero! She is strong, independent and has no problems telling a man (Levi) no.
Levi was a frustrating character but extremely likable in my opinion. He put love in a box that he was unwilling to touch when it was really what he needed the most.
He had been through some stuff that scarred him, which most people have, he just didn't handle it like an an adult would or should.
I enjoyed watching Levi grow up and change into the man he should have been.
Squid is my first book in this series. For my personal tastes I would have preferred to read less foul language, but it fits for the main character, Levi Crowe. The author's description of Levi truly showed him to be a party hearty boy. Nearing thirty, he is supported by his parents until his father finally forces him to go to work at his law firm. It was nice to see how Levi changed and started to get his act together. Overall this book is a quick romance that can easily be read in one sitting. (209 pages)
I loved this book so much! It was actually the first book of this series that I read. I will definitely be going back to read the others now! Kindle and Levi were absolutely perfect for each other and I loved both of them so much. I really enjoyed reading the entire book from his point of view because often that does not happen. The book had the perfect amount of comedy and romance and it was just so good.
I was so happy to see more of the Moto X books. This book did not disappoint. The powerful female and the assistant trying to win her over. Great series!
This is the second book I've read from this author, but she has blown my mind yet again. This is the fifth book in the Moto X series. This can be read as a standalone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I recommend reading the first four books before reading this one so you can get a better understanding with everything. I was so excited when I got this book, I stopped everything, and I started to read this book immediately. I was hooked on these characters right from the beginning. It only took me a day to read this awesome book. I highly recommend this book for any and everyone who is interested in reading. You will not be disappointed. Levi Crowe us known as the party boy. He has everything that he could ever need at his disposal and a body and skill that all women drool over. He has the time of his life every weekend and legendary black outs that are a good source of laughter for everyone but him. But the truth is, he is worn out. Nothing changes until he’s rejected several times by the same woman that he can’t get out of his head. A series of events leads him to getting his life on a better track and here enters Kindle James, his rejector. Now, he must prove himself to more than just her because both of their careers are at stake. Kindle may just prove how much of a squid he truly is at being a functioning adult. Will everything work out?
This is the fifth book in the Moto X series. I really enjoyed this romance story. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. The author does an amazing job with the characters really making them coming alive for the reader. This romance is full of angst and drama and will keep the reader guessing whether or not Levi will get the woman he wants.
I love Levi's character. From the outside he seems like a lovable cheeky chap who likes a good time and can have his choice of women. What we don't see at first is the pain he has suffered which is why he doesn't do love. When he is told he needs to change his partying ways at first he rebels before he realises how right his family is. Now focused on getting his life back on track, however there is one woman he can't shake from his mind. And he doesn't know why because she has rejected him several times. When Kindle comes into his life she turns it upside. What is it about her that keeps him hooked? Is it because he can't have her that he wants her even more? Or could it be that this woman is the one to break the walls around his heart?
Another fantastic read by the author. Squid is the fifth book in the Moto X Series. This is the first book in the series that I've read. You will absolutely love this book.
Levi is the party boy in the group. He is known for having money at his fingertips, women falling at his feet, and doing what he wants when he wants. That's until he meets a woman who challenges him. The quote I chose for Levi is: “The money. What? I know it isn’t as honorable as yours. I’m good at arguing and it was kind of just something I fell into. No family obligation or anything like that. I’m good at it and I knew I could make a shit ton of money doing it.”
Kindle is a divorce lawyer and works her butt off to do what she wants. She loves riding her bikes, but to do that she has to work hard. When she meets Levi she turns him down. Now he's her assistant and she can't help her feelings. The quote I chose for Kindle is: “I have to deal with petty fights from time to time, but there are cases like the one you just helped me with that makes me feel good about helping others. Why did you pick law?”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
This was a great 5 star read. Levi (Squid) is quite the player, after he got his heart broken he has no plans to commit. He picks up women at the bars, has his time with them and leaves. After one encounter he finds that those choices can come back to bite you. He also gets some news from his father, he has been cut off. He is a very smart man and is now being told he has to work, no more playboying around. Levi has had several encounters with a woman he can’t get out of his mind, fate steps in and he sees her again. Kindle has been very adamant about keeping him at arm's length, will she be able to continue to resist him?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. I liked seeing all the characters from the previous books and had some LOL moments. I was pulled in right from the beginning with all that was going on and didn’t want to put it down. I really enjoyed Levi and Kindles story. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading the other books in the Moto X series, all of the characters are great. 1-click and get started today.
I definitely loved this book and everything about it. I loved how Levi was rejected multiple times by the same woman. That causes a spiral for him and he is forced to go work at his fathers firm again. Then he realizes his job there is to assist the one woman who doesn’t fall for his charms…..Miss Kindle James. I absolutely love her character in the book. She’s strong, smart, beautiful and doesn’t take any garbage. Unfortunately for Levi, he can’t seem to get away from the one girl that called him Daddy and thinks she’s gods gift to men. She’s all about herself and when he finally has had enough of her he tries to get rid of her by not being so nice. Levi has never been friends with a female and working side by side with Kindle, they grow a sort of friendship which he sees a plus for him. Once she is comfortable, maybe he can turn on the charm and win her over. Let’s not forget about Kindle’s roomie…..Will she be the reason Kindle walks away from Levi for good or will there be a happy ending? Such a great read from beginning to end. Loved it!!
Squid is the fifth book in the Moto X series by Brooke May. As with the rest of the series, this is a very enjoyable contemporary romance- with chemistry, drama, self-discovery, finding love unexpectedly, reforming wild ways, character growth and development, banter, and some emotion. This is the fifth book in the series, but it could easily be read as a standalone. Having said that though, you will probably want to get your hands on the entire series to binge on- because one book won’t be enough to satisfy your Moto X appetite. Brooke May has a talent for creating interesting and endearing characters who are fully realised individuals with their own unique quirks and flaws. It was so easy to connect with Levi and Kindle- and I was quickly invested in them and the outcome of their story. Can’t wait to see what Ms. May brings us next! Happy Reading!
I have read a few books from this author but she continues to blow my mind. This is the fifth book of the Moto X series. You can read this as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on these characters right from the beginning. It only took me a little over a day to devour this awesome book.
Levi Crowe has it all. He has the looks and also the money. Levi loves to party and bring a different girl home every night. He doesn’t want to have his heart broken ever again so he never has the same girl more than once. Levi runs into this goddess that turns him down. He is also forced to get his life back together by working for his dad. Levi is shocked when he finds out that the goddess is now his boss. He wants to get to know her but she wants nothing to do with him. Will Levi get what he wants or will he end up with another broken heart?
This is the fifth book of the series. It can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read any books prior to this one and I didn’t feel like I missed anything but I’m assuming supporting characters were introduced in the other books.
Levi thought he had it all until it all went wrong. He decided no more relationships. He would play the field and party like the best of them. That is until he meets Kindle and is knocked on his butt. She’s sassy and independent. She’s also the first one to turn Levi down - multiple times. He can’t get her out of his mind. After a chat with his dad, it’s time for Levi to grow up. He was reluctant to go into the office but he ended up with quite the pleasant surprise.
I couldn’t put this book down! I loved every minute of it. There were some chuckles and some holy crap moments which only added to the story. I definitely recommend reading this book. I am going to go read the rest of the series.
I have read a few books written by this author and she didn’t disappoint me in this book either even though the main character is an A$$ everyone has their heart broken one time or another but we get over it and move on and grow up. The story line is awesome and different and the way this author describes the scenery is great.
Levi Crowe is known as the party boy he has all the money he needs and a body that woman drool over. Nobody knows why he is like this. After being rejected for the first time he is stunned and a series of events makes him make get his life back on track he runs into the first woman who rejected him Kindle James. Now mot only does he have to prove himself to family and friends now he has to prove the Kindle that he is a changes man.
What made Levi to become a playboy? Will he change his ways and how long before he changes? Will, he change for a woman or for himself?
Well what’s not to love when one of the main characters has the name “ Kindle” ❣️📕😉
So Levi is more than just what’s in his trousers and his philandering ways he’s quite bright actually but he’s lost his way a bit and I’m proud of his dad for making him work his way up as opposed to having everything handed over on a platter !
So Levi is used to woman falling at his feet so when Kindle doesn’t take kindly to his advance he has a bit of a reality check and even more so when he has to work under her in the company ….
Levi hides behind his hurt and he does mature along the way but I must be honest when I tell you I had a soft spot for him from the start and Kindle’s sure to follow in my footsteps 😉❣️
Kindle , girl I love your name ! I love your sass and heart ! You’re one in a million 😘
This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is a well written romance story that the author’s attention to details made the story feel realistic. Her writing style is such that her books are easy to read and engaging. Her characters make the story come to life. This book is no different. The characters have great chemistry and I enjoyed how supportive of each other. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout. This is a story about Levi and Kindle. Their story is one of romance, rejection and there could be more at stake than they realize. I really enjoyed their story. They made the story entertaining and hard to put down. This is a story you don’t want to miss, a great romance story. I highly recommend this book.
Such an enjoyable contemporary romance story that was hard to put down. I loved the characters in this book. Levi is all about having fun, partying and having the looks and money to go along with it, but you learn deep down he also has been hurt in is past. Chance encounter Levi meets Kindle....and I could not help but to love her in this story. Kindle is a strong and career driven woman who know what she wants.....but she does not want Levi. When Levi's father puts Kindle in "charge" of Levi in their law firm things change. There are definite sparks between Kindle and Levi, and I was rooting for them throughout the story. Will Kindle take a chance on Levi? Definitely read and find out!
This book was a great read filled with sizzling chemistry and great characters!
Squid is the fifth book in the Moto X series. Is another great romance by Brooke with a bit of everything to keep glued to the storyline. The story is full of angst and drama and is hot and steamy. You will fall in love the characters and want more of them. This is a great series.
He is fun, loveable and relatable and women love him but deep down it's a different tune. Only problem is that he wants the one woman who doesn’t want him. Levi and Kindle are two people who need each other she just doesn’t know it.
Like Motocross and partying? Then party boy Levi Crowe is your man. I am looking forward to the next book.
Levi is known for being a playboy who no woman has been able to resist. A series of events forces him to have to finally grow up and he ends up working with Kindle. She's his supervisor and the one woman that seems immune to his charms. Their chemistry is undeniable but he is going to have his work cut out for him if he wants to change her mind about him. This was such a great book! Levi changes so much throughout the story, he really matures and becomes a much better person. I was pulled in from the very first page and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. If you're a romance fan, this is one book you're definitely not going to want to miss!
The thing I loved most about this book is the realistic dialogue. It's the kind of dialogue I can relate to. I liked that it was straightforward and not full of fluff wording! Read as a standalone, it was easy to get into, realistic, and steamy!
Everyone has known a guy like Levi, and it is nice to see him challenged by someone. Kindle is a good character and the author builds their tension very nicely. I enjoyed their time together and was satisfied with the ending. The jealous interlude serves as a tangle to the ultimate goal, which I understand as a method, but I am glad it didn't last longer than it did!
I would definitely try other book series by this author!
This is the first time I have read anything by this author. The way she makes me dislike the main character Levi is unmatched. I disliked his whole entitled attitude and the way he thought he was God's gift to women. His drunken womanizing ways was just icky. Then as the story evolves and Levi is made to grow up and become a REAL man, I start liking him. This book has some funny parts and some serious parts but the chemistry between Levi and Kindle is definitely there from the moment they meet. Good story, I will read her stuff again.
