Don’t talk to strangers.
Don’t even look at anyone.
But what if they’re grouchy and gorgeous and you’re sitting right next to them?
I always did like a challenge.
I want to turn that frown upside down, but he barely looks at me.
I take a chance and poke the bear, and to my shock, he plays along and growls back.
The more we meet on the train, the more I realize he’s not the uptight grump I first thought. Then one night, there he is—in my world, in my space...his tongue in my mouth.
Mind blown.
But I’m no fool. A man like Nash Roman doesn’t date a guy who sells suits at Macy’s. Nash is prep school and Ivy League, and I’m night school while working two jobs to pay bills. Nash is fine wine, expensive restaurants, and handmade suits, and I’m beer, corner takeout, and a lucky find at Goodwill.
What am I—street-smart Ethan Moreno—doing, playing in his world? This man is older than me, way richer than me, and has already made it clear he doesn’t believe in love. I should walk away. Instead, I’m falling for him. Hard.
Nash couldn’t care less if his father doesn’t think I’m good enough or if people gossip because we’re so different. I need to trust in him and us, but I’ve been burned before.
And just like the Uptown Number 2, sometimes you have to travel a different route to get to the final destination: Forever.
Cat gives this book 5 Meows with 2 Purr heat index...
Hi Y’all! Come in and grab a Heineken or glass of wine and some sushi while I tell you about this book I just listened to.
The title is On the 2 by Felice Stevens. The cover is hot and goes well with the title. Then I read the blurb and it really got my interest because... grumpy/sunshine and age gap? Yep, I’m in.
Who’s my favorite main character?
Ethan because of his bubbly outgoing nature but close second was Nash because… yeah sexy older grump. I liked Alex to, I can’t say Nash’s friend, but closest thing to one. I found he had a book too and, yep, I’m going after that.
The story has several settings. There is The 2 where they met and a lot happens. Then Ethan’s workplace and co-workers and friends, Ethan’s apartment, Nash’s office and his apartment. There are more or less other significant places too. I loved how there are so many settings, but they all make the story move and keep it interesting. The story is a sweet, fun feel good romance.
What surprised me most about the book was?
Something that happens with Nash’s dad. That was a real shock lol but I also relate since I too am in Nash’s same shoes in that aspect in a way… nope no hints gotta read or listen!
There’s a lot of plots going like the settings. I won’t list them all I’ll make you get the book. But there are jealous ex’s and plenty of life twist and turns.
What did I like best?
Everything. It’s just one of those books that hooks you but I think I’ll pick the meeting on the 2. This was a pretty unique meet cute. This story is full of feels, but if you're a Felice fan you expect that. If this is a first, you’ll be addicted, and know if you need a pick-up grab one of her books. This is now top of my list.
I loved the ending. It was HFN but we know we are getting one with Felice. This was unexpected and sweet and really brought together a few things.
I listened to this on audio and the narration really made the book. The voices are separate enough you can tell who is who and you can really feel the tension. It was great and I definitely recommend this book, and it's Whispersync ready.
How hot was the book?
A 2, it’s hot but lots of sexual tension as well.
If you like grumpy/sunshine, age gap, opposites attract you will love this!
