Dear Axel,
It is incredibly stupid to write this text while I’m drunk. But what’s the saying? No gain, no pain. Or, no pain, no shame... Whatever. You know what I mean. And let’s face it. There’s no way I would be doing this if I was stone-cold sober. But since I’m plastered? To hell with it.
I want you.
I know. Crazy, right? Not only am I your temporary roommate but I’m a chatty nurse from Providence with an impeccable bedside manner and secrets. You’re a broody, commitment-phobe sculptor from England who communicates in grunts and single syllables. Not to mention, you’re returning home in several weeks. And yet, from the moment you dragged me for being a Swiftie, I’ve wanted to climb you like my personal jungle gym.
There’s no future for us. I’m not even sure I like you half the time. But that doesn’t stop me from hungering for those same hands that bend and shape metal to bend and shape me. So in all my drunken glory, I guess what I’m trying to say is if you want me, I’m yours. For the next few weeks until you return across the pond and we resume our lives as before. No strings. No demands. No regrets.
So meet me in the kitchen where all this started.
Or don’t.
It’s your decision.
Not that it matters. It’s not like I’m going to do something monumentally dumb like hit send on this text.

MY REVIEW
Axel is highly damaged by his past, and it's made him retreat into himself. He keeps people at a distance, too afraid of being rejected or abandoned, that he does it first, in hurtful ways. But, after Simon gives him a talking to, will he come to realize just how much he's gotten wrong, and how much he'll be missing if he let's lie what happened with Zenobia?
Broody Brit is the perfect example of why I love Naima's writing - two lovable, complex characters, hot chemistry, and an emotional connection that stands above the physical. About the only thing that coule have made it better is if there were an epilogue, because I wanted lots more of Zenobia and Axel together. This is definitely a very worthy addition to the Cocky Hero Club.
