General Thoughts: The theme of the month is "I picked this up on a whim." And that's true of this one too. I knew nothing about the author or the book. And I'm so glad I picked it up. The writing was great, the characters were fun, and the plot was well thought out.
It was a cute, fun, and "predictable in all the best ways" read. This is a forced proximity, enemies/rivals to lovers, steamy read, and is another one that I think would be a perfect beach or poolside read. I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping that we see more of the sisters and brothers of the FMC/MMC in books to come. This was my first novel by the author, but it definitely won't be my last.
If you're looking for a fun, quick, lighthearted enemies/rivals to lovers read, this one has you covered. And if you love R&J type books, also for you.
Steam Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. It's steamy but not as graphic as many others in the genre.
Memorable Lines::
-"Kill me in my sleep, and I will haunt you, and not like a friendly ghost."
-Four little words crept into her mind again: right man, wrong family.
-She wasn't under his skin; she was in his bloodstream.
Romantic Tropes
-contemporary romance
-forced proximity
-enemies/rivals to lovers
-"just for now" lovers
