Spencer Cohen #2
Spencer Cohen, Book Two
Finally going from fake-boyfriends to the real thing, Spencer Cohen and Andrew Landon are trying to take things slow. They know what they have could be something special and despite the flammable sexual tension, they don’t want to crash and burn.
Spencer is learning to open up, sharing the secrets of his past with Andrew. Afraid to put his heart on the line, yet seemingly unable to stop it, Spencer knows he’s falling in love with him. Andrew is petrified of leaping in blindly, yet it seems the slower they go, the faster they fall.
As they navigate their new relationship, Spencer worries Andrew will freak out when he takes on a new client. But it’s not a normal case and Spencer soon realises things are not what they seem. When things take a downward turn and they work together to help the client, Spencer and Andrew need to decide if they’re ready for the next step.

4 Stars!!
This second installment in the series was even better than the first one. Sweet and heartwarming, it picks up right where the first installment ended. Spencer met Andrew working as a boyfriend for hire when his task was to help the other man win back his fiancée. But everything changed for these two when they realized they want each other. Now, Spencer and Andrew are no longer pretending to be boyfriends. They became real looking forward to know each other better.
Spencer learns how to open up with the other man. We find out what happened with him years ago and why he doesn’t speak with his family. He had kept himself at a distance from any kind of relationship trying to protect his heart, but Andrew slowly breaks all his emotional walls. Being patient and understanding, Andrew becomes everything Spencer always wanted and needed. Andrew also realizes how good Spencer is for him, how he gets him, how good he makes him feel in his own skin.
I really enjoyed this second book in the series. The characters’ development was fantastically done and once again I fell in love with these two guys. Both of them were genuine and endearing. I really sympathize with Spencer. His past was so sad, so I'm glad he found Andrew who eventually made him realize that he’s lovable and wonderful exactly like he is. Andrew was as awesome as Spencer. Intelligent, talented, funny he is the perfect man for Spencer. He gives him exactly what he needs, being sweet and caring and so thoughtful.
I really liked these two guys individually, but together were simply wonderful. They melt me into a puddle of goo. They were so cute together. And they really made me smile. I enjoyed their interactions and the honesty between them.
This second installment is steamier than the first, which obviously I loved. These two were so sexy and adorable together and the tenderness between them was heartwarming. As Spencer, I most definitely enjoyed Andrew’s new side. Sexy and demanding at times the man definitely knew want he wanted.
The supporting characters were again fantastic. I enjoyed the dynamic between them, the familiarity and the banter. Really entertaining.
Overall this was a really great read and I’m looking forward to read the third and final installment!

“He brushed his lips against mine, almost but not quite, and I thought my knees would buckle. My heart was pounding so loud I think he could hear it. Then he touched his bottom lip to mine before pulling back just a fraction. My breath hitched, and he smiled. “My favourite part is the almost-kiss,” he whispered. “It’s intoxicating.”

***The first book was sweet,this was just as sweet,but with the steam we've all been waiting for.Spencer and Andrew are right up there with my favourite M/M couples***
I normally like my Man on Man action to be really graphic and dirty and this series isn't,but I just love these two.
At the end of book one all they had done was kiss but the expectation of something more was there and this definitely delivered.
The writing is perfect,
The Characters are so damn adorable,
The Author perfectly combines sweet and sexy.I loved watching their relationship grow.
Andrew.....you dirty boy.I loved him being bossy in the bedroom.
Great side story with one of Spencer's client's as well.
And I've got to mention that Spencer is Australian...that accent definitely does it for me.
I've got a few M/M series that I love and this is definitely one of them.
Just perfect....

Sweet and oh so SEXY!
Unlike in book 1, there's plenty of steamy action here, and it's incredibly hot.
I adore take-charge Andrew and flustered Spencer! These men are just so good together.
The book's main focus is the relationship, with a side plot related to Spencer being hired to look for a man's missing boyfriend (something he doesn't typically do). Spencer's investigation is interesting but doesn't take over the story.
The secondary characters continue to amuse me. I like the banter between Spencer and Lola, and have a soft spot for badass Emilio, who looks 100 percent the mafia boss in a suit. Also, could Andrew's parents be any more awesome?
I really love the chemistry and tenderness between Spencer and Andrew. Spencer blames his "stupid brain" for a lot of things, but he is getting it all right.
Jazz, cookbooks for geeks, tea, toothbrushes: the little things rule the world.
This one ends with a tentative HEA. The possibility for MORE is wide open.
I would love to read Yanni's story too.

N.R. Walker can deliver sequels like no body's business! She is the only author I'll break my "No Reading Until All Books Released Rule". Why?
#1. She releases her sequels within weeks.
(And most importantly)
#2. She doesn't rely on cliffhangers to hooks us into coming back. Her writing speaks for itself and makes her readers eager for more. I firmly believe that The Spencer Cohen Series will be up there with The Red Dirt Heart Series.
Anyhoo, Spencer Cohen Book 2 starts right where the first book leaves off. Andrew has made his decision knowing that there are many things still left to discuss. Spencer's past, Spencer's job- how will these things affect their budding romance? In typical NR fashion, these topics were handled flawlessly. The perfect blend of angst and romance. I also appreciated how realistically some of the events in the story were handled. Spencer and Andrew were devoted to making their relationship work. I can't express enough how much I appreciate there not being any silly, immature drama.
I know the question many wonder: is there any steam in this installment? Yes, and it is just as sexy and romantic as we knew it would be.
All in all, this was another winner from this author. I've said before, and I'll say it again- her books are like chicken soup for the soul. 4.5 Stars.

***4.25 Stars***
And without my consent, with my defenses in ruins, while my brain was sleeping, my stupid heart went and fell headfirst into love.
What a great second part to Spencer and Andrew's story!
Book two picks up right where the previous book left off.
Andrew and Spencer have shared their feelings for each other and are looking forward to what may come. And what may come is that they've decided to "officially date." Eli is out of the picture and Spencer has poured his heart out to Andrew....time to move this party into the bedroom.
But wait...since both have had relationship issues in the past...Andrew picks the wrong guys and moves too fast and Spencer has some serious shields up and doesn't do serious relationships....they've decided to implement the "slow down" plan. Which means no penetrative sex....but oh boy, that leaves plenty of other stuff on the table!
But with all the fun they're having with everything else....the intense sexual tension just keeps building and building to the main event. I don't know who was getting more antsy...me or them?!
This book had way more steam than the first, but none of it was throwaway gratuitous sex. It really reminds you what the beginning stages of a relationship are like....hearing your text notification and having it put a smile on your face, your cell phone ringing and immediate butterflies in your stomach, opening your door and being greeted by the sweetest and most promising "hello" kiss....you get the picture. And then the best part of all...the "I can't keep my hands off of you and want to jump you every chance I can" shot of pure lust that takes over your mind and body when you're with a person that you have an amazing connection with.
Spencer and Andrew are the perfect combination of sweet and sexy. Seeing Spencer's vulnerability tugs at the heartstrings and I love how Andrew reminds him, sometimes without words, how much he means to him.
The sub-plot having to do with Spencer's new client was intriguing but felt a bit misplaced. It added an element of sadness and seriousness that took away from the charm of this installment.
Overall a great continuation to Andrew and Spencer's story and I can't wait to see where we conclude. I'll say it again, N.R. Walker writes some of the best characters that you can't help but fall in love with and root for.

2-3 stars.
I kinda liked the first one more. This felt a little bit off. There were many eye rolls (from my side). Too many clichés. It was sweet, maybe too sweet for my tastes.
There's nothing extraordinary in Andrew and Spencer's relationship, although there's a development, but it doesn't feel very natural.
I'll read the last book only because I don't want to leave the series incomplete.

This is Walker perfection! It was so worth the wait, and was even better than the first!
Book 2 picks up right where Book 1 left off, and I mean RIGHT where it left off. Spencer is all vulnerable and still embarrassed about his drunken confession, and Andrew is so sweet and endearing.
This installment was all about the relationship development. I adore books where that's the main focus or only focus. These boys are both shy. Andrew because he just recently ended an engagement and Spencer because he is tired of the people he loves stomping all over his heart and throwing it in the puree while they're at it.
We get a lot more insight into this story about Spencer's family and the things they've put him through. And because the MCs are so afraid to ruin what they have by moving too fast.....well, they stumble in this "relationship business."
My favorite part? Their first argument. I am so tired of books with "the big misunderstanding," that when the MCs have an honest-to-God regular argument or disagreement.....I get swoony. It's written so well and resolved realistically, and it was just the perfect amount of angst for this book!
Issues are raised - like does Spencer continue to be fake boyfriends with people? Will he continue to possible kiss other people in the future? And how does Andrew deal with jumping right into another relationship after having just ended his last long-term relationship?
I adored everything about this story! This is possibly one of my favs of this author to date. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I would've preferred 1 longer novel instead of a serial-style release like it's coming. I can't wait for Book 3!!
For the dirty minds like me, we get plenty enough smexy times in this one to make up for the lack of them in Book 1 when they were just friends. And they were HAWT!

Can I just say that I'm in love with Andrew? Yes, Spencer is the star of the series and, yes, we only get his POV. But man....I'm a goner for prim and proper, easily embarassed, bossy in bed, Andrew.
Also, this Yanni character needs a story. If Walker decided to write a story with a Greek MC....

With plenty of smex and feels, this story is really about Spencer and Andrew building their relationship together. And it's fun. And sweet. And made me blush a time or two. Clearly, I enjoyed it, but I'm not entirely sure that it had enough substance to stand on its own; I feel like it could have been condensed and combined with Book 1 in the series to make a kickass standalone novel. I honestly don't know that Walker's left herself enough of a character or plot arc to make Book 3 in the series a stand out.

I liked it, but not as much as book 1.
Continuing on right where the first book ended, this book is a continuation of Spencer and Andrew's relationship as an actual couple. While it's still a light and easy read, we get more of Spencer's back story this time, which makes for a few sad scenes. But Andrew's there to make it all better, so the fluffy feels are still going strong.
And we've got hot sexin'! NR Walker definitely makes up for the lack of sexytimes in book 1. Considering how shy he is, I loved the idea of Andrew being all bossy in bed.
But I don't know whether this worked so well as a separate book, or at least not as long as it was. It could have easily been condensed and added to either book 1, or published as a shorter story. The side story really didn't seem to serve much purpose, other than to make the book longer.
Overall, I liked book 2 in the Spencer Cohen series, though it could have been tightened quite a lot. Even so, I'm looking forward to reading the last book.

Really enjoyed the second book in this series. Spencer and Andrew are figuring out how to be in a healthy relationship together. Wanting things to last...they decide to try and take things slow...which wasn't as easy as they thought it would be.
There was also an interesting background story about Spencers new client. The secondary characters were just as great as in the previous book.
And also very important....the steam level was wayyy up in this one. Hot damn !!
Can't wait for the next book...4 stars from me
This book can not be read as a standalone...or at least I don't advise it ;)

5 Fan-freaking-tabulous Stars!! A brilliant follow-up to book 1~ Spencer & Andrew = Twu Wuv
There is so much I can say about this story, I just don't even know where to start! First, thank you N.R. Walker for creating and writing this fucking awesome series!! I love Spencer! I love Andrew!! I love it all!!! I have been waiting for this installment of the series very UNPatiently-- but wow, did you ever deliver!!!
So, this book picks up exactly where book one Spencer Cohen left off, so don't even try to read book two without book one. Besides, why would you want to? I mean, really - go read book one and meet these amazing characters if you haven't already!
Spencer & Andrew spend a lot of time in this book getting to know each other and learning to navigate what being boyfriends means to one another. Spencer has little to go on, so he is winging it - Andrew, he is just afraid he is going to rush it and ruin what is developing between them. It is sweet getting inside their heads and learning more backstory about both of them. It just makes you fall deeper in love with these awesome guys!
Neither Spencer nor Andrew wants to chance ruining what they have and/or complicating it by bringing sex into the equation too soon, so they make an agreement to hold off for a while. It's hilarious watching these two decide what "a while" is however, and they end up agreeing to try and make it to the weekend, then it's on!! Thankfully after amending their "terms" a couple times, the guys finally agree that only so there is plenty of other ways these two can enjoy themselves!
The passion and chemistry between Spencer and Andrew is epic! They are just drawn to each other:
"I’d never felt this connection. More emotional than physical, the need to show him how I felt was more important than fucking. And in that moment, I understood what it meant to make love. I’d always thought of it as fucking or sex. The physical need for release, the primal urge to claim and own, to give and receive pleasure. But this was so different. Each movement was tender, timed with his breaths. Each thrust was in sync with my heart, and I held him."
So it's no shock that in addition to their amazing chemistry they have some pretty deep feelings developing between the two
In addition to all the make-out sessions, verbal & physical foreplay, and the other ways these two get to know each other while waiting for Saturday, they also have to navigate the other areas of a relationship such as communication, not shutting each other out, opening up to each other -- oh, and just how does Andrew feel about Spencer continuing his job going on fake dates with people? Well you are going to have to get the book for those answers!! I.Am.Not.Tellin' --I cannot wait for book three now and I am sure I might just go into serious "Spencer Withdrawls" while waiting!
The supporting characters in this series just keep getting better and each one uniquely adds something to the story, they are not space filling characters! Lola, Gabe, Emilio, Daniela and even Cindy Crawford all make return appearances in addition to Ricky & Paul, Emilio's cousins, and Mr & Mrs Landon, Andrews Parents. We also get to meet Spencer's latest client, Lance, who is a true twat and especially small-dicked, and Ms. Walker introduces us to a really sweet guy named Yanni. I hope we get Yanni's story in a different series!!
All in All A HUGE Win for N.R. Walker as she delivers another 5 Star Story. What are you waiting for? Go get this book....now!!

So much sweetness, and some fun sexy times! These two are perfect for each other. Cute, funny, sexy, sweet!
But. It almost always happens to me in trilogies featuring the same couple though, around the middle of book 2, I find myself bored and wondering “So what?”.
I think I would have needed some angst, some drama, or a more exciting plot. The story is so slow. And I don’t really care so much about Yanni’s story. Again, it was not enough angst and drama I think to keep me caring.
Oh and the whole waiting to have (penetrative) sex while basically having non stop sex thing had me rolling my eyes a little.
Just ignore me. I was going to wait to read book 3 but now I accidentally opened it and my stupid kindle will mark it as read if I close it so I guess I have to read it now. (BTW is it just me? I can’t fix this, I removed the “mark as currently reading” feature but this still happens).

**4.5 Stars rounded down (only because we don't get Andrew's POV ☹️)**
I'm still kicking myself for not reading these books sooner. Spencer and Andrew are finally "official". They're navigating through and working things out. There's insecurities and doubts, but both are in 100%.
I freaking love Spencer! He's so swoon-worthy.
And he's funny.
We also get our sexy times in this one too so that's a plus 😉

"He was heaven. This was what I wanted. Him. To kiss him like this whenever I wanted. "~Spencer
And he's funny.
"We’re not When Harry Met Sally. We’re more like the movie Seven. With the head in the box.” He blinked. “Seven?” “Well, okay. Not in the psychopathic-murdering-madmen kind of way but in the unexpected kind of way. Nobody expected the head in the box.”~Spencer and Andrew

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Felt let down*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱
We're back with professional fake boyfriend, Spencer Cohen (in his twenties) and visual animator who works for DreamWorks, Andrew Landon (26). It was alright, but a bit of a let down really. I dunno, I wanted something else; more things happening, more action or something. I think I need to start reading a book about agent, cops or something like that again. Too cliche and I get a little bored. Overall, it was still sweet and cute, but I wanted more.
I think he won a tiny piece of my heart that day. If he didn't have the whole damn thing before then, he certainly had part of it now.
Quick basic facts:
Genre: - (Adult) Contemporary Romance (M/M)
Series: - Series, Book Two.
Love triangle? -
Cheating? -
HEA? -
Favorite character? - Spencer Cohen.
Would I read more by this author/or of series? - Sure.
Would I recommend this book/series? - Sure.
Will I read this again in the future? - No.
Rating - 2.5 stars.

Yep, just as cute as the first book!
But much hotter :)
I also like the fact that this book is pretty low on drama and the main focus is on the relationship.

*3,5 "I hate you, No, you don't." – stars*
Loved the first installment!!! Andrew and Spencer are heading to being one of my favorite couples.
Having said that, I’m feeling a bit disillusioned…..
Probably my own fault by having such high expectations with this book. I loved their connection in the first book. Their feelings were all over the place. And in this book they were just all over each other, all the time......
There were parts I liked very much. Andrew was this shy guy in the first book and he seems to take more initiative. Spencer, being never been in a relationship isn’t doing that bad. Insists they work through their disagreements.
I really love their connection and I feel that they are perfect for each other.
“(…) but the realisation I was capable of such a powerful emotion, such an all-encompassing, soul-rendering emotion. And, that I was deserving of it too.”
So, instead of treating this as a series, I’ll treat this last installment as part III of a full-length novel and re-read the first 2 parts to get in the groove.
I have every hope that NR Walker will knock me off my socks this last installment.

This was another great one! The MCs are still getting to know each other and navigating a new relationship without rushing. I'm removing 1 star mainly because of my own "dumbassery". I read the synopsis for book 4 so I knew how the side plot would end which diminished my interest in that side plot (it did not overtake the romance by any means, it's a side plot dealing with Spencer's new client). Moreover, I know I won't be reading book 4 because of so my interest in Yanni was not that great either. Aside from that I really enjoyed the group of friends Spencer has and I really liked that we got to know Andrew more (I still want to get to know him better but there is one book left yet so there is hope). Onto the next 😊

Spencer and Andrew are adorable navigating their new relationship. They’re still in that drunk in love phase where everything is exciting and perfect. This installment is the equivalent of comfort food—warm apple pie and two scoops of vanilla ice cream kinda comfort food. Things take a slightly angsty turn when Andrew’s new client turns out to be a shady guy who hires him under false pretenses.

For me the best of the three books.
If offers pretty much everything you would hope to find in brilliantly written romance:
.) two adorable MCs
.) excellent banter
.) some lovely hurt/comfort elements
.) steam and heat laced with plenty of emotion
.) huge amount of feels
.) excellent secondary characters
.) an interesting plot
Highly recommend it!

I could write a review, but I have to read the third book ASAP, so yeah.

The sexy times commence, and they are H.O.T.! For as much as there was no sex in Spencer Cohen, Book One, it's more than made up for here.
There's also an awesome side story featuring one of Spencer's clients which actually made me want to skip the sexy times to get back to it.
You can tell narrator Joel Leslie loves these characters - it's apparent in every word and emotion. He seamlessly goes back and forth from Australian to American accents so well you can almost forget this is just one person narrating.
All in all I enjoyed this as much as Book One, and am looking forward to listening to the conclusion of Spencer and Andrew's relationship story in Spencer Cohen, Book Three.

***Book 2 in this amazing series !! ***
Great ! Here we have Spencer and Andrew moving on in their relationship. Spencer has a new client, but is everything as it seems to be ?? Is Lance a good guy or bad guy? Hmmm...
Spencer and Andrew
are progressing nicely, and they are so great together. We get terrific characters, sweet, quirky, and fun.
Music makes the heart beat ...
This well written tale is riveting, with a flowing plot, and yes, wonderful anticipation plus the hot sexiness we were waiting for !!
These guys are so in tuned to each other, and they share experiences, family stories, and when Spencer rescues Yanni, Andrew know where to take him. A well handles domestic violence segment, shows us the right thing to do. There is help.
I highly recommend this amazing story. ENJOY !!

This book had waaaaay too much sex.
And can I just say how much it annoys me when someone keeps saying they hadn't had real sex as long as there was no penetration. *eyeroll*
So I guess all the bjs and handjobs and everything else they were doing wasn't sex...
Going with 3 stars this time.

3.5 stars
I loved the first book, but I was a bit bored with this one.
It was still good, still sweet and yes, it was sexy. But I think there is such a thing as too much sex. I think these guys has 3 orgasms in the first 20 pages.
They just kept going at it….
Still, I liked it. I’m just not sure there is any story left for the next book..

Yes, I did get the sex I wanted in this one! These two are pretty damn sexy together. My favourite part of this series seems to be the banter and conversations between Spencer, his friends and Andrew. They're so funny and flow realistically.
It's also nice to not have any stupid miscommunications or tantrum throwing. These two both have insecurities and flaws, but they talk through them, not run away from them.
Unfortunately I did find this book more boing than the first, it was all just so fluffy, like super-pink-cotton-candy fluffy, which was good but... yeah not much happened.
Off to the third book :-)
