Review:

You've Got Male is the second novel in Lila Monroe's Chick Flick Club and is anthor funny, romantic and highly enjoyable rom-com perfect for those who like their romance light, entertaining and endlessly sweet. 

Zoey Rafferty has big plans for her food truck, The Little Red Wagon. Classicly trained, Zoey hopes to one day become the breakfast queen of San Francisco with her delicious twists on everyones favourite breakfast treats. And everything is going to plan until a new food truck arrives on the scene and begins to steal all her customers. The Breakfast Bandit is the devilishly handsome thorn in Zoey's side and is determined to give her a run for her money. Cam Newsom has poured blood, sweat and tears into his food truck and he'll be damned if he's going to back down without a fight. So what if riling Zoey up has become his new favourite hobby? Or seeing her angry seems to get his blood pumping? The last thing he needs is to get sidetracked by a woman like Zoey, especially when he finds himself competing against her to be featured on the famous foodie TV show Truck Stop. Better to stick to his mysterious online pen pal who manages to steam up his screen with her quips. Yet as Zoey and Cam find themselves competing against each other, will their rivalery destroy the heat that simmers between them? Or will they find that not only is the food cooking, but love too?

I have to say I really did enjoy You've Got Male. I felt it was a fantastic follow up to the first novel How to Choose a Guy in 10 Days and once more captured me with its effortless writing and entertaining storyline. You've Got Male was a very easy story to get lost in; it was light, funny and sweetly romantic. Lila Monroe wrote the perfect balance of comedy, sexual tension and chemistry without going too overboard on the sex scenes or physicality of the main characters relationship. 

You've Got Male was told through the dual perspective of both Zoey and Cam with hilarious results as the two characters stumbled through their endearing and adorable romance. Zoey was a solid rom-com female lead while Cam was charming and smart. I thought they were both easy to follow and easy to read about.

The two of them were highly entertaining to witness throughout the story with their banter and chemistry sizzling up the pages as they fought, and ultimately gave in, to the connection between them. Even though they were technically rivals, the food connection between them was a sweet touch and I enjoyed seeing two people who had something in common connect.

Perfect for fans of Penny Reid, You've Got Male was a quick but effective story and leaves me ready to round out the series with Eve's story Frisky Business as soon as it comes out.
