Oh my gosh! This was one of the best enemies-to-lovers trope I’ve read in a long time. Add in a marriage of convenience and a hero and heroine that were positively explosive together and I was in book heaven!

Savannah and Lance have been in a marriage of convenience for nine months. Three more months to go and they will divorce and never have to deal with each other again. With a history rife with antagonism, bad memories and hurt feelings, the fact they ever married, even for money, is saying something.

Beginning in her childhood Savannah had constructed walls that had to be blasted in order to get through. But then, so had Lance. With a fortress between them, this couple had a lot of work to get to a happy ever after.

This couple were absolutely electric together. Their banter showcased their competitive natures but it also led them into slowly revealing themselves to each other. I loved watching them move from antagonist to lovers with their verbal sparring. And when they cross that line, holy heck, it was explosive!

Despite all the outward antagonism, this was a very lighthearted read with some of the cutest arguments I’ve ever read. We only get the heroine point of view but this author has a talent of making sure the reader pretty much knows what’s going on in the hero’s mind, and I need that little extra to fully enjoy a book. It also didn’t take much to convey to us that this hero was a bit jealous and a lot desperate for the heroine’s love.

While there isn’t a lot of angst here, it does ratchet up towards the end and I was shocked and heartbroken over something the hero said. Cue the rising tension and I couldn’t put this book down to save my life at that point. The resulting actions of both characters were completely believable and I fell even more in love with them than I had been before.

By the time I reached the end I was smiling with pure joy at such a fun, sweet, antagonistic, sexy read. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys any of the above tropes, just “come on, come on, come on”!
