What a start to a new series that doesn’t disappoint! A second chance love story that has such a wild range of emotions from two characters that brings life to the storyline. Beck and Mel has such an intense chemistry but their past history makes for a destructive reunion. Secrets, pain and a love that deserve another chance made this a must read. I can’t wait to see where this new series go.
Beck has it all – money, good looks, brains, power, success, women. But he doesn’t have Mel. Melissa walks back into Beck’s life, surprising both of them. Mel. His Mel. The one who broke his heart 12 years ago. He needs to know why she left, but knows that she hasn’t told him the whole truth. She’s holding back one really big secret. Unbelievable second chance story! These two are doing a slow and sensual dance around each other. But he’s the only willing to admit that he wants her back. The chemistry between these two is just unbelievable, as is much of their banter. I hate her father for what he did to her family. I want to hate her for the secrets she kept from Beck, but I just can’t – she and Beck are so perfect together, and have been through so much without each other. If the rest of the series is anything like this book, we’re in for one wild ride.

***Warning: you will need tissues for this book**
Wow, just wow. I love reading second chance romances. So we start with Beck who had found the love of his life in high school and her name is Melissa. As you know that when you are in high school you don’t know the difference between love and lust. Well Beck knew it was not lust and that he loved her. However, there love did not go the way he wanted. Mel had to make a choice after high school and not one she wanted. Lets fast forward now, both Mel and Beck have some how run into each other. Beck says they have unfinished business and Mel just wants to explain. So what happens. The chemistry is off the charts with these two and the little angst that Beck has makes it even hotter. This is one emotional roller coaster. This book is different than most because of the endings. This is a great start to a new series and cannot wait to see who is next!!

Fantastic second chance love story!
This was an absolutely fantastic second chance love story filled with suspense, intrigue, little twists and a whole lot of very sexy men. The story is entertaining and will keep you captivated and enthralled from beginning to end.
There is a lot of anger and betrayal between the main characters that makes their make-up sessions sexy, hot and highly combustible! Beck and Mel were very relatable and interesting characters. I loved their banter and wit but I disliked Mel at times and became very frustrated with her decisions and internal dialogue.
Fantastic writing and storytelling. I can’t wait to read the next one!
This was another great read by MV Ellis ! Very hot and steamy and had the emotions flowing! Mel and Beck definitely have unfinished business that needs resolved and the sexual tension, the teasing between these two will definitely have you panting and in all the feels ! Great second chance romance that you won’t want to miss !

This is the 1st in a new series and what a wonderful beginning this story is! Beck and Mel have a history and when they meet again after 13 years the chemistry is explosive. Will Beck be able to forgive Mel, and will the past define the present? No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written tale which is an emotional roller coaster, as well as having angst, drama, secrets, twists, betrayal, heartbreak, which all lead to a steamy 2nd chance romance. I was hooked throughout this riveting tale and I highly recommend for all.

I’m so glad that I’m a frequent reader of MV Ellis and that she has created another series for me to indulge in and enjoy. Beck is the first book in the Gods of the Fifth Floor series and it was nothing short of fantastic. This is a second chance romance and I love it when I (I mean the main characters) have to work hard to reach that HEA that I love so much. Beck and Mel have a very long and complicated history and they’re suddenly and unexpectedly reunited. And what a reunion it is!! There is such intrigue surrounding the circumstances of their breakup and the negative lingering feelings between the pair. The secrets between them lead to a very layered dynamic between Beck and Mel, but will they be able to resolve their issues and move forward? They definitely have unfinished business and you’ve got to grab a copy to find out how it all ends. Ms. Ellis has laid the foundation for a smokin’ hot and engaging series and I can’t wait to see which God of the Fifth Floor’s story is next.
I could not put this down! I was intrigued by the blurb to begin with but once I started reading, I couldn’t get enough. Mel and Beck are struggling and it’s all because of their past. Second chances have a way of sneaking up on you though and when they come face-to-face again, you can feel their chemistry coming across the page. I swore by Kindle was going to explode. There are secrets no one sees coming but through it all, you can’t deny that Beck and Mel belong together.

This is the first book I have read by MV Ellis. Happily, it will not be the last. I have certainly found a gem of an author, and her book, Beck, grabs you from the get-go. Not only are the intimate scenes super sexy, steamy, and magnetic, but the characters’ banter is intriguing and often humorous. The secondary characters are front and center. A definite relationship and kinship is established. Ms. Ellis is giving us a preview of what is to come, and I, for one, am looking forward to reading more from the Gods of the Fifth Floor.
A second chance for Beck and Mel. Fate has put these two in each other’s path after a long, long time. Can their chemistry overcome their hurt? Or will a 12 year secret keep them apart forever? Can’t wait for the other partner’s stories!! Highly recommend.
This second chance love story is not a sweet re-igniting of young love innocently lost.
There’s a lot more going on here, and it’s a much more turbulent roller coaster ride between a very star-crossed couple that is Beck and Mel, than I first surmised.
Hurt, anger, betrayal of trust, lies and secrets of Herculean proportions, all swirl around their hap-hazard reunion.
It’s obvious this pair of long-parted lovers have some serious chemistry that ignites easily upon them reconnecting.
But are the secrets Mel is still keeping too much for Beck to forgive, and is their residual love strong enough to endure the fallout once all laid bare?
At first I couldn’t decide who my allegiance lay with whilst these characters revealed themselves; but ultimately, it was Beck. And despite his somewhat easy acceptance that for me wasn’t realistic enough, you can’t help but feel for this man with the big personality and even bigger heart.
As for Mel, I just couldn’t reconcile her continued actions in keeping the secrets she had with all that is uncovered, and still keeping them as their relationship was reaffirmed.
In essence she lost me.
This author always writes in vivid detail that enhances her stories and your enjoyment of them, though with this one, her prolonging her reveal-which evidently came as no surprise-did draw my attention away somewhat from the great witty banter and side entertainment provided by the other members of the BR&ND team.
But there is still a lot to enjoy in Ellis’s account of these two and their journey back to one another, and I’m super keen to hear more of the the other “Gods of the Fifth Floor”.
3.75 stars
Loved Beck and Mel’s second chance, heartbreakingly, beautiful story. This is the first book in this amazing series and I can’t wait for more yumminess. Guaranteed to keep you wanting more.
This is my first book by M.V. Ellis, and I was not disappointed. I loved this first book in the God’s Of The Fifth Floor.
Beck is partners with three of his friends of BR&ND an ad agency. He is rich, cocky, alpha, and he knows it too. His life was swept out from under him 12 years ago when the woman he loved completely ghosted him. I loved Beck.
Melissa Reid is senior VP of marketing at Beyner America and sits in on Beck’s pitch, and they see each other for the first time after she ghosted him 12 years ago. Mel had a lot of pain in her past.
I loved Beck and Mel together.
Their past was so heartbreaking, but you couldn’t help but root for their future. They had a lot of intense chemistry. Their sex scenes were hot.
I loved getting all the chapters in Beck’s pov.
I cannot wait to know more about the other partners. Just the small snippets of Nate, makes me want to know his story.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a sexy second chance romance

Such an exciting start to a promising series! Tyler Becket goes to his girlfriends house only too find it completely and everyone gone. Fast forward years and Melissa walks into his office with a company his company is pitching too. After all other years the chemistry is still off the charts. This second chance romance was hot. It was a little heartbreaking to hear what happened all those years that tore them apart. Now Beck is working hard to get closure on the past but neither is really ready to give each other up now that they can be together. I enjoyed this first book and look forward to reading about the other men.

5 BECK & MEL STARS!! The feels in Beck and Mel’s story is off the charts. Their story will touch every part of your heart. I love second chance romance books and M.V. Ellis has given me a winner. You definitely need to read this book, so go ahead download and start this book.
The author doesn’t hold back or sugarcoat the story with her dialogue. This is quite raw, emotionally & gritty.
The gods of Gotham are 4 friends who form an advertising business, each bringing a skill or dynamic to the group.
Beck is the first in this series & has had a turbulent & troubling life which haunts his dreams.
Melissa just happens to be the one that disappeared & object of his dreams. To top it off they meet when he is pitching his business to the company she works for.
This is one roller coaster of a ride for both. Little by little her reasons are revealed, some of which are quite traumatic as well as a few surprises for the reader.
Their journey isn’t easy & has an impact on their work & emotions.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review & would recommend to someone who likes an angsty tale. 4.5*
Beck is the first book in the Gods of the fifth floor series and I cannot wait to meet the rest of the boys.
This second chance romance just goes to show the heart wants what the heart wants… even if your only 18.
Beck and Mel were perfect together. Their chemistry was red hot. It was like you could feel they just belonged and fate had brought them back together.
This book was a definite page turner with lots of twists and secrets.
Loved it… great read
