What happens when the person you find MOST impossible becomes impossible to resist? Opposites distract in this hilarious romantic comedy about America’s least likely couple.
There’s just one thing standing between liberal Senate staffer Kate Adams and passage of the landmark legislation she’s been fighting for all year: Ben Mackenzie, intimidating gatekeeper for one of DC’s most powerful conservative senators. After Kate and Ben lock horns in a meet-not-so-cute, they vow to take each other down–by any means necessary.
She thinks he’s arrogant (and doesn’t deserve those gorgeous green eyes). He thinks she’s too quick to judge (and irresistibly distracting). But as their endless game of one-upmanship becomes Kate’s favorite part of the day, she starts to wonder if her feelings for Ben are closer to attraction than animosity…and maybe their sparring is flirting. And when Kate realizes there’s more to Ben than meets the eye, she’s forced her to confront her biggest fear: In her sworn enemy, she may have found her perfect match.

The story of two politicians, two different sides. Will one of them get what they want, or perhaps both of them? Meet You in the Middle is the perfect enemies to lovers romance that everyone needs to grab. The story of opposites, yet two pieces of a puzzle, the relationship of Kate and Ben show that even if you believe in different things and have different ethics, chemistry and soul go together just as well.
Meet You in the Middle was an amazing five stars. The chemistry between Kate and Ben was heart-stopping and you can’t help but fall in love with them. Even if the two of them supported different things, you can feel the longing between them and feel how strong their chemistry was. Throughout reading Meet You in the Middle, I felt a variety of different emotions, yet not once did I think it was bad. That’s what I really enjoyed, how much Meet You in the Middle was able to hook me in and keep me sitting on the edge of my seat.
I fell in love with Ben since the moment we met him. He’s sweet and sure, in the beginning, we don’t see a good side, yet, the more we got to know him, you can’t help but fall in love. He was a gentleman from the start and you can’t help liking his character. I loved the way you could see Ben falling in love with Kate first. The chemistry and the way he talked to her was so evident yet it felt like it wasn’t. He was fantastic at hiding his true feelings but throughout the book you could see the way he had tiny hints that he was falling in love with Kate.
Devon Daniels does a fantastic job writing Meet You in the Middle, showing us the chemistry and how two souls can become one with Kate and Ben. I’m not sure why I held off reading Meet You in the Middle for so long, but now that I have, I wish I did it sooner. I didn’t think I would fall in love with two characters, but, I have. Bravo to this fantastic romance.
