Best Kase Scenario (Hyde Series Book 2)

I love this Hyde series so much, and the glimpse we get of the main characters from the first book.The reason I didn't give it five stars is because I couldn't exactly relate to Harlow. Even from her POV she wants to be with Kase but constantly running from him and shrugging it off. So it was frustrating as it was happening because there was that big WHY hanging in the air. Even after learning the psychology of her compartmentalizing, it didn't feel justified. If her keeping them apart for the sake of keeping them apart wasn't so dang infuriating it would be 5 stars because they are too freaking in love, adorable, intense, and everything you love in a romance. The heated scenes are also intense and worth the read as well.

I stumbled upon Layla Frost shortly after she released her debut novel, Hyde and Seek, at another author's recommendation. I was blown away by her writing, by her sense of humor, and the promise she showed in that first book. I've have been eagerly anticipating this book, and I can honestly say that, once again, I'm blown away. Layla Frost did not disappoint!"She wants to run, then I'm going to chase."The second book in Frost's Hyde series, Best Kase Scenario is the story of Harlow Cooper and Kase Teo. Harlow is a busy, busy girl: she's finishing up her degree, interning for the news program at a TV station, being a devoted daughter to her ailing mother and the best big sister she can be to five year old Hadley Freckle Face, who is a delightful bonus bright spot in a book full of them. She's also bartending, or well she was before she was let go, and now, well, let's just say that she's taken a job that's decisively more Wicked. She loves her friends and loves that she's been let into the Hyde fold, but she has a hard time opening up and instead she offers poorly executed lies, quick cover ups and distractions or she just takes off running before sharing even the smallest details about herself. She is locked up tighter than Fort Knox, and she's working herself to exhaustion. She thinks that she's either going to choke on the words of her unspoken secrets, or she'll drown in the rush from the floodgates of them. She's studiously ignoring her crush on Kase and unaware that those feelings are reciprocated, but it's neither here nor there because she's got so much on her plate, she doesn't have time for a relationship anyway."I didn't want a challenge. F*@! the chase. Easy wasn't my thing, either. I hadn't been sitting back, waiting for someone to throw themselves at me. I wanted natural and effortless. Real."Kase Teo, golden-skinned and gorgeously inked, is male perfection. He hides his down-to-earth, zen-like wisdom behind a cocky, overconfident yet easy-going and laid-back persona. He's got his own pain, he's made mistakes in his life, but he's dealt with them and he's moved on from his past. He's a good guy, a romantic at heart and he's got it bad for Harlow. Done with the wanting her from afar, he makes his move. He shows Harlow how to slow down, he shows her carrying all of these burdens alone is just making matters worse, and finally, he shows her that there is always time for love. He does this by being slow and steady, determined yet forcefully gentle, with a purposeful ease that is knee-weakeningly, heart-poundingly impossible for her to resist. But Harlow didn't make him work too hard; no, she was right there, drifting in the tide with him."You're always doing that... catching me before I fall."With Harlow now fully invested in, on board with, and most importantly, not running from the relationship, Kase has found what he's been looking for in her: lani and moe'uhane - heaven and dreams. Basking in the glow of new love, all of the jumbled pieces of Harlow's life are now falling into place. What they don't see, though, is the threat lurking in the shadows. Just when everything is solid between them and moving in the right direction, did something happen to cause Harlow to take off running again? Will Kase be able to piece it together in time?"Let me give you lani. Make your life moe'uhane.""But it already is.""Then I'll make it better."I adored this book. I loved Kase Teo so, so, so much! A quietly alpha man who is romantic and says things like that? SWOON! He was the calm in Harlow's storming life. He brought her peace, and in turn, brought peace to the people that meant the most to her. She gave him the love, the family and the hope for the future he wanted but wasn't sure he was going to get. These two were voraciously insatiable for each other, they were so hot together I was certain my Kindle would start smoking. But they were also so clearly in love with each other and watching it unfold and build was a heart-fluttering, butterflies-in-my-belly, audibly-dreamy-sighing experience for me!Layla Frost: Remember this name. Follow her on Goodreads and Amazon. This author is the real deal, folks. She is romance novelist greatness in the making, destined to have a career that rivals the likes of Kristen Ashley, Jill Shalvis and Marie Force. Big words from me, I know, but they're backed by the fact that Frost absolutely has the writing chops along with an innate, natural talent storyteller's gift. She weaves her tales with threads of friendship, true love, all-consuming physical attraction, and she binds those threads together with a fantastic sense of humor and smart yet witty prose, and she does this with a much more seasoned author's hand. With these two books under her belt, she has shown impressive technical writing skills and incredible storytelling abilities. I'm seriously, immensely, majorly impressed by Layla Frost, and I'm genuinely excited and fangirlingly giddy over her. Finding, reading and talking about authors like Layla Frost is why I review books and blog. I'm seriously pumped here, and I want to tell everyone about her and these books. I can't wait for more from her, and I'm literally on the edge of my waiting it. Congratulations, Layla Frost, on an incredible second novel. I can't wait to see what you do next!

I can't not stress enough how this book dragged me from the start. I loved harlows weirdness and silly comments!! And Teo is so alpha male!! Loved the plot the middle the ending just swoon worthy.

I love Kase I did from the get go…. Seeing him overcome everything and get his HEA was LIFE…. Seeing Harlow finally get some real happiness and live life was amazing… I love that it gave his POV , that was missing from book 1 and I feel like these men have a lot to say…. I love Hadley and how Kase loved her … I can’t wait for more

Great and crazy loved how all the other characters from the other books are connected here! Can't wait to read the next book!

This is not an MC series but a story about some badass HOT mechanics and amazing women who catch their eye. I loved Kase and Harlow’s story. Harlow is so strong and I am glad she was able to open up and trust. Such a crazy end to the story, last minute drama. Spice in this book is TOP TIER. Love this one!

Another great book in this series. I loved Kase and Harlowe story. The love, romance, sexy scenes and drama all worked well together. The guys are not related but they treat each other like family and the women they choose are awesome. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I loved this couple so hard. Kate has a hard Childhood losing his parents young and his sister to drugs. Harlow lost her dad and her mother is ill leaving her feeling she has to hold it all together.Their romance is sweet and hot.

So good. What a great 2nd book in the series and the characters were just brilliant and it was great the way the characters from the 1st book were also in this one.

I absolutely fell in love with the Hyde stories. I've managed to read both of the books in two days and I wish there was another one waiting for me. I can't wait to read the next one! Keep at it,your stories are strong,the men are cocky but not afraid to show their feelings. The women are funny,a little bit crazy with their inner dialogues and they can stand strong with their men. I'll be honest It's incredibly difficult to say how much I've enjoyed the books. Just one more thing,read it you will love it!

Loooovvveeee this series, need more!!!

Loved this book just as much as Hyde and seek, can't wait to see what else is to come from the Hyde series
