Goodreads Synopsis:

When a playboy falls for a nerd, chemistry results in an explosive reaction!

Playboy Maya catches studious Nemugasa cheating on a test, and to ensure his silence, Maya blackmails Nemugasa into doing whatever he wants! But is this merely just a ruse so Maya can spend more alone time with him?

It’s been a while since Maya and Nemugasa have had any alone time, so they can’t help but go a little overboard when they finally see each other! But later that same night, Maya sneaks out to help his friend Ruka after he’s had a severe asthma attack. When Nemugasa asks him the next morning where he went, Maya quickly changes the subject. Is a bad habit from Maya’s playboy days rearing its ugly head? And what will Nemugasa do when he finds out the truth?

Review:

Ruka is still causing drama between Maya and Nemu. His attachment to Maya is honestly a bit off-putting, and how he's deliberately trying to cause issues. Some of it might have been explained here, but I still don't like it one bit. I don't like him.
Thankfully, though, Maya and Nemu are pretty good at communicating. They definitely read each other wrong sometimes, and have their fights, but they come together in the end. They talk it out and explain and make up. Usually in a pretty hot way, too.
This is a really strong couple in this series, and I like that. They've also got pretty good friends and family around them, and I appreciate that, too.
This is always a fun series to get more of, and I'm always excited for the next one.
