Be Your Anything -Hermosa Beach Book 2- Review
Couple: Lennon Day & Lucas Pearson
Author: Jillian Liota
Tropes: Friends-2-Lovers. IT Couple. Taboo. Role-Play. Secret Affair.
Review: Book 2 focuses on Hannah’s brother Lucas. The book in angsty and taboo in many ways.
Lucas is a taken man who is in a relationship that is “OPEN”. He is the popular and rich surfer who has a lot of growth to be done. I enjoyed his character some in book 1 but not as much in book 2.
Lennon is the IT girl. She is successful and smart but lacks confidence in herself in personal areas. She LOVES Lucas and this is the one fatal flaw in the story.
The book was good but I had trouble getting into it since the idea of the “Open Relationship” and the way Lucas took advantage go Lennon upset me. While, I felt bad for Lucas and understood in ways where he was coming from, I wanted Lennon to grow that backbone sooner.
I felt like we did not see enough tension when the conflict came to a head but overall the characters built off each other. It was also nice to see more of Hannah.
Rating: 3.5/5. These tropes are not my favorite but the development was there. It was a good segue into the other character stories.
