Discovering Mr. X by Elle Nicoll
5.0
If you read Meeting Mr Anderson, you have probably been dying to find out about the mysterious Mr X who was exclusively buying Rachel’ panties. The beginning of the story takes us to when Mr X (Tanner) and Rachel meet. Tanner overhears her plan to sell her panties, he ends up so distracted by her that he forgets his laptop. When she brings it back to him, he tries to repay her but she refuses and that is when he comes up with his plan. Mr X starts paying double to be the only one she sells her panties to.
Having grown up in foster care, Rachel is wildly independent and completely determined in her goals: which her main one is to buy a house. She wasn’t looking for love or a relationship, and she doesn’t need a man to help her.
Rachel and Tanner meet up again by chance( she doesn’t recall their first meeting) and begin spending time together. Tanner loves helping Rachel even though he has to fight in order for her to let him. The chemistry between Rachel and Tanner is burning through the pages of the book. The sex scenes are some of the hottest ever written. Rachel tries to keep things casual but she soon finds herself in a meet-the-mom, spend-every night-together relationship with Tanner. Tanner is absolutely perfect for her. He breaks down her walls but also knows when to give her space and when to fight her to give her help. This quote from Tanner basically sums up how he is as a boyfriend “Now ride my cock like a good girl, and I’ll run you a bath after.” He is a dirty talker with a heart of gold and a “smug wanker” while Rachel is fierce and loyal but also a “snarky bitch”. When the truth comes out about Tanner being Mr X, can Rachel forgive him for keeping it a secret? What will Tanner do to get her to forgive him? The ending, especially the letter, had me in tears and cursing out Elle Nicoll but was overjoyed with their HEA. I loved how the story came together and how there were pieces of information dropped throughout the story that all came together in the end. Beautiful writing that made me not want to put the book down.
"These last three months have been hell, Rach. You do not know how much I’ve missed you… you and your snarkiness"
