Gideon is an agent to many athletes. Lenny is a funny and smart woman and is Gideon’s best friend. Follow their story and learn how much Lenny loves tacos and Gideon is an ex-football player. You will love their story. Another amazing book by Xavier Neal.
Got hooked from the first page and couldn’t stop until the last page. I felt like I was a part of the story but I don’t know which part lol. I am always hooked to your stories and once I get going I can’t stop. I hope maybe there will be a novella later down the road for these characters down the road.
Awww, I love Gideon! Lennox is funny but OG is my favorite! He made my heart melt with how he treats Lennox. I thought this was such a sweet story. I did get aggravated at times bc I just wanted them both to admit a little to each other how they felt. But this is a great story!
I think the best quote to sum up Can’t Match This is “You have to risk what you have in order to possibly gain something greater.” This friends to lovers journey is about finding out that just because things don’t match on paper doesn’t mean it doesn’t match in reality. Will Penny have found someone that will cause her to lose the only man she has ever loved? Read to find out in this romantic stand alone.
Gideon sure knows how to plan a nice night out, “now, I’d like to go enjoy a glass of whiskey, a great cut of steak, and watch Robocop on the couch.” Gideon often times takes offense to what comes out of his woman’s mouth, “pity food?” Gideon promptly inquires. “What the eff does that mean?” The lack of immediate answering causes him to snatch the remote and return the movie to its still form. He nudges me with the side of his dress shoe to command my attention to his. As soon as our stares meet, he repeats, “What the eff are you implying, Lenny?” I liked thiS book, I fell in love with Gideon.
Another success by Ms Xavier Neal!!!
Great friends to lovers story line with a lot of comedy and emotion thrown in- a perfect combination
Gideon and Lennox have intense feelings for each other and have for a long time but neither knew about the other! When Lennox matched Gideon up with dates, she doesn’t realize how intense her feelings are for him and can’t resist him any longer!
This book was an absolutely delightful read. The engaging storyline offers readers a charming blend of humor, drama, sweet emotions and spicy passion. This friends to lovers romance quickly stole my heart and had me swooning over Lennox and Gideon. These two were just perfect for each other. My heart ached as they struggled to move out of the friend zone, I laughed at their clever banter and my heart melted in the face of their epic love. A beautiful, steamy and powerfully poignant romance.
A cute friends to lovers story that I highly recommend. The characters are unique and fun. You can’t help but root for them to get a happily ever after. I absolutely enjoyed the witty banter that Lenny and Gideon shared. Not to mention the disastrous dates that transpired between Gideon and his “matches”. After reading this I suddenly have a craving for tacos haha
Loved Gideon and Lennys amazing friends love story.Funny intense emotional beautiful.More plz
This is a complete standalone novel.
It is a friends to loves romance.
Gideon and Lenny are the absolute best friends. They have grown so close that they schedule their lives around one another. They both orbit each other like planets never realizing the gravitational pull they seem to have over each other. They are both blissflully clueless on how in love they both are.
What starts out as a harmless deal quickly escalates in hilarity and uncomfortable truths each other must face. Every person in Gideon and Lenny’s lives know they are crazy about each other but neither of them want to risk their friendship.
Throughout the course of this book we see the push and pull of these two characters personalities. We see them mature in their friendship and their relationship. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I also love seeing the side characters, which happen to be from other Xavier Neal stories. I absolutely love all the 90’s references.
This was a fast paced story but was easy to follow along with a clear beginning, middle and end.
This story is heartwarming and adorable. “Can’t Match This” is a must read for any Xavier Neal fans.
