Reid

If you haven't checked out the Vested Interest series or hells bells, Melanie Moreland's writing, you are missing out on the best in romance. Her storytelling always delivers all the necessary elements I need for complete entertainment: heart, soul and happy ever after. But where her speciality lies is in the male characters. They are more than the sum of their exterior shell. Ms. Moreland delivers the personalities flaws and all where the reader cannot help but fall in love with them. Reid does not disappoint. But exceeded my expectations. A beta virgin isn't a new trope to introduce to readers. Their story has an expectation. Not Reid. His position isn't because of some tragedy impacting the decision to forgo or ingrained belief. What it boils down to is opportunity with the right person. And once he meets Becca, he recognizes the 'One'. And the courtship - yes, getting to the sex - becomes fun. Imagine being the disenfranchised man and suddenly getting everything you've ever dreamed of. You are going to ROCK HER SOCKS! But the story has more than just the trials of getting to a HEA. It's about how your past decisions impact your future. Does someone deserve to keep paying for that mistake? Melanie Moreland handles the topic with truth and honor without high drama. Her storytelling gives insight to any characters ability to change or rearrange their 'spots'. If you've not read the Vested Interest series, yes it can be read as a standalone. I actually took the journey with an ARC reader and I got a resounding thumbs up. Yet, as she said, why miss out on the fabulous and entertaining story of friendship in the series. 5+ out of 5 IT Genius finds his 127.0.0.1

Oh, Reid!!! Our nerdy little boy has grown up into an amazing man! Reid’s confidence and attitude got him a foot in the door with BAM, but he proved himself over and over again to cement his position with them. “All of what they did for me made everything worth it. Because of them, I had a new path and a future. Something to offer.” From the first moment they met, Reid was drawn to Becca and she to him. Reid has a past that he has tried to move on from, but some things can’t just be swept under a rug and ignored. Becca is the strong heroine that he needs. She knows that Reid had some obstacles to overcome, not the least of them was the fact that he was a virgin. “Her smile appeared. The gentle one only I saw. Shy, tremulous, and sweet. She leaned over my desk. “You still say the best things, Reid Matthews.” I met her halfway with a long kiss. “All for you, BB. All for you.” I absolutely adore this story. It has so much humor, I was caught laughing out loud, so much heart and romance I completely fell in love with these characters, and so much emotion I was brought to tears more than once. -5+Stars!!-

Reid Matthews.....YES, PLEASE, and THANK YOU Melanie for writing his book!. Reid is the fourth book in the Vested Interest series and while I have loved all the men of BAM, Reid stole my heart and isn’t giving it back. Reid has been given a second chance in life to probe himself and overcome his shadowed past. Becca has caught his attention, but he doesn’t know how to pursue her. I loved all the advice that the BAM men give him! Their encounters were priceless! Little does Reid know, but Becca feels the same way about him. I loved watching their journey unfold. When obstacles are placed in the path of their new relationship, will they be able to overcome the odds? What happens when Reid takes a risk that could lead him to trouble. Reid is a MUST read and I could not put it down. I read it in one sitting and it will be on my reread list.

Reid is one hot geeky man. I loved how awkward he was around Becca. He was such a sweet guy at the begging of the books but he slowly started transforming through out the book and I found myself falling in love with him even more.

The Rebel. The quiet one. The one I was so intensely curious about and may have made me squeal with joy when his book was announced. Everything about Reid makes you want to wrap him up in a hug and tell him everything is going to be ok. He's been though so much in his life and is just looking for the place he can call home. When Reid met Becca, his complete lack of smooth immediately made me fall for him. Becca couldn't be more perfect for the master of the BAM IT universe. She's funny, smart, but maybe most importantly, patient. I sat down to start this book and the next thing I knew, I was at the end and hours of my life were gone. I was so immersed in the story that I didn't even realize that the world continued to go on. I laughed, I cried, and I swooned so hard I thought I might pass out. I love each of the men of BAM more than the last and Reid is no different. *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

Reid was one of my favorite reads this year. But beware, there are parts that are going to make you ugly cry and parts where you will laugh out loud! If you have read Bentley, Aiden, and Maddox, you need to read this book! If you haven’t read those, and why haven’t you?, you can read this as a stand alone and then go back and devour the rest of the series!
