Dear Letter Girl, I need to see you. When can we meet?

Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I've roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down.

There's only one problem—I'm falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.

My notes were supposed to be a one time thing. A little too much wine and naughty thoughts on a winter's night. I never thought Berk would write back. I wanted to tell him it was me, but the fear of rejection kept my lips sealed.

Now he’s enlisted my help to track down The Letter Girl and our search has him hot on my, ahem, her trail.

She's the girl next door.

He's my secret pen pal.

Truth is on a collision course with their hearts and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets wrecked...

Berk was seriously the cutest and I want him all for myself now. I'm calling dibs! He and Jule's had me ready to beg for their story by the time I finished The Second We Met and it ended up being an even better book than I was imagining. Jules and Berk both had issues that were keeping them away from each other and relationships in general, and there were times that I wanted to slap both of them and make them get their shit together and see that they were amazing together. But getting to see them work through it slowly was so good and brought so much sweetness to the book so I can't even be mad at them.

Seeing Berk bring Jules out of her shell some had me smiling so much and I loved that it wasn't even on purpose. He was just himself and honest with her about how amazing she was, which was exactly what Jules needed. And himself actually. He needed someone like Jules who wouldn't abandon him and would put him first sometimes. They both had some strong emotional moments that I loved and they brought me a lot closer to each of them and truly had me connect with them.

Overall, this is a brilliant NA romance and I highly recommend reading it. I think it can be read as a standalone with no problem but I would suggest at least reading the previous book first so that you can get the true connection between Berk and Jules.
