Say Yes To The Nemesis
Their rivalry was legendary. Could one reality show rewrite their ending?
Ryan is a hotshot hockey player and Wren’s big brother’s best friend. He has always tormented her mercilessly, making shy, geeky Wren feel like she could never measure up to his effortless cool. She’s loathed him for it… even while secretly nursing a pesky crush on him for years.
When Wren lands her dream job as an executive producer on a dating reality show, she’s thrilled. But then disaster strikes. First, she’s forced to fill in as one of the bachelorettes on the show. Second, the bachelor they’re all competing for? None other than sexy, villainous Ryan.
The producers, delighted by their antagonistic chemistry, sweeten the deal with a big promotion if Wren plays their vapid TV game to win. Forced into close quarters and increasingly ridiculous dates, Wren grits her teeth and pretends to be in love with her worst enemy.
But no one warned her about the dates. The hand-holding. The roses. The hot and heavy make outs. The sneaking around to avoid cameras when the teasing becomes too much. Or the way Ryan looked at her like she was the most breathtaking woman he’d ever seen.
He’s leaning into their fiery banter with what feels like genuine heat. But is it all for the cameras? Or could their adversarial relationship finally ignite into something real?
enemies to lovers, sports romance, brother’s best friend, forced proximity, spicy romance, hockey player hero, sarcastic nerdy heroine, unrequited pining, reality TV romance, island destination, fiery banter, makeover transformation, workplace drama, and childhood rivals

this was a good story idea and the bachelor style premise had surprisingly minimal OW drama. ryan is a pro hockey player and real life player who agrees to do the dating show for the money. wren, ryan’s best friends sister, works on the show as a production assistant but is chosen to fill in for a missing contestant.
i was getting whiplash with these two. the only time they declared serious feelings was when they were being physical but the second they stopped being physical they weren’t sure what they were or the others intentions? this happened so many times almost until the end of the book and made it unnecessarily long imo.
the contestants names were constantly being interchanged which seems like a huge error to overlook.
the narrators were great - thank you netgalley for the arc!

A total editing mess.
This book needs editing, badly. Chapters were out of order, character names and descriptions were super inconsistent (which, when you have 10-- or is it 12?-- contestants on a reality show, made for some incomprehensible reading), and very little made sense with the FMC's job description/role, even for a romance novel conceit.
It really feels like this wasn't proofread before being uploaded.
A bonus star because the MMC was likeable, but otherwise, don't bother reading.

3 reasons to read Say Yes to the Nemesis:
* 🍿 Sweet and easy to read- a true popcorn book in the best way.
* 🤵♂️The MMC felt fleshed out and realistic. I usually don’t like a dual POV book, but this one worked for me.
* 👩🏻❤️💋👨🏼 Bachelor meets Heated Rivalry (not really, but he *is* a hockey player. )
What I liked:
* 🧮 the formulaic nature of the dating show as the framework of the story.
* 👩🏻❤️👨🏼 The good times in the relationship. I loved the FMC and the MMC when they were happy together.
* 🧍♂️The MMC - I often don’t like split POV books because the man doesn’t feel real or fully fleshed out. This time he did!
* 🔊 The narrators- the man was perfect. The person voicing Wren felt a little young in contrast to the deep voice of the person voicing Ryan at first, but I got used to it. I really enjoyed their performance
What I didn’t like:
* 🤨 sometimes it felt like I was missing something. It felt like there was time missing between the pov switches.
* 🔚 The end got away from me a little bit. From the romantic get away date forward felt a little confusing and like the characters were not on the same page.
* 🦋 I didn’t like his nickname for her. That’s a completely personal preference though. But I did get butterflies when he called her sweetheart.
Characters 3/5 - a little generic but above average
Setting 3/5 - I wanted more from the dating show framework but above average overall.
Writing 3/5 - nothing ground breaking with a few things that fell flat, but overall, well done.
Plot 4/5 - I love the plot devices and overall themes of the story.
Narration 4.5/5 nearly perfect. The performances definitely elevated the story.
Overall 3.5/5

Rivals to lovers
Bachelor show theme
Brothers best friend
Age gap
Dual POV - 1st person
Dual narration - David Lane & Raven Wildewood
Great performance from these two.
I won’t lie the cover is what drew me into this. I am a sucker for an adorable cover. I did enjoy the audiobook. There were points I found myself missing pieces not sure if I was zoning out or if there was jumps in the switching in POVs.
The story follows Ryan a hockey player that agrees to be the bachelor on a dating show and Wren his best friends sister that he doesn’t get along with. It’s tension filled between these two.
I feel like this had major potential to be an amazing book but it fell flat at points. Overall, I would say it is an easy and sweet low angst book.

This one started off fun. A young woman gets casted on a reality show where 12 women are trying to win the heart of a man she already knows and hates (secretly likes very much).
Halfway through the story, however, the plot started falling apart for me. Information became inconsistent. Events weren't lining up. The chapters began to sound like summaries.
The characters were okay, though. It was nice to read a story that didn't involve a mega super alpha man who only flirted and talked about sex. This MMC actually had feelings.
Thank you NetGalley and Vivian Wood for allowing me the opportunity to read this story!

I read this book to the finish to see if it would ever get better. It didn’t. there were a lot of inconsistencies. I had to page back and reread previous sections thinking I missed something. One of the chapters described three roses on the platter but as the chapter progressed he only gave out one rose. Some of the contest contestants were miss named.
I have really enjoyed this author’s other titles but this one fell flat.

“You were never invisible to me” Alllllll the feels!!!
SAY YES TO THE NEMESIS is the second stand-a-lone book in the WILDFLOWER LANE series from Author Vivian Wood, and from the start carried a weightier air about it which was lightened however by the crackly intense atmosphere between Ryan and Wren. These two have known each other for years and we soon learn that feelings have been hidden V-E-R-Y deeply on both sides.
He carried the burden of abandonment and financial insecurity, while she struggled under the weight of invisibility.
We met Wren in THE ACCIDENTAL HONEYMOON where, as Jay Rustin's sister she very much disappeared into the shadow of her larger-than-life older brother. In SAY YES TO THE NEMESIS, she was shoe-horned, complete with makeover and into front and centre of the dating show, and under the ever-watchful gaze of Batchelor Ryan. It was a wonderful thing to hear her thoughts as she rose like a phoenix from the dark invisibility she'd previously made home. Ms Wood wrote her beautifully.
Hockey star Ryan Haart was the typical easily available male character, and was Jay's best friend. His goal was to remain current and financial. It didn't matter how much money he'd put away, the security never seemed to be enough. Even though Jay and Wren had know Jay and his sister for years, they never appreciated the childhood they'd had growing up.
These were like spark and tinder. Ms Wood did them both well in the development of their characters through the thrust and parry these two had going on. Thrust-insult, parry-return fire, and at the end of their interactions, both parties needed to take time to catalogue their wounds in secret. Wren was unaware how close to the truth her biting comments cut to the bone of his fears and while she carried her own insecurities, it was Ryan who had most of my sympathies. This back and forth was succinctly written as tiring for them both, even as they each hid an relinquished desire and forbidden attraction for the other.
First off, my sympathies lay with Ryan, but as I read my way through and got to know Wren more, every insecurity she exposed made me realise just how much of a stranglehold they had on her. I loved the chemistry that only grew more intense! There was so much to love and so many words that caught my attention, and if I wasn't careful, I’d end up quoting the whole book!
The forced proximity of the dating show meant there was no respite for either of them even as the forbidden attraction began to weigh on them. We all know the format of these shows so check this Ice Skating Date scene;
“Wren clings to the wall like she’s negotiating a hostage situation. Every time I skate past her, she glares like I personally invented ice just to ruin her day. I live for it. The glares. The huffing. The fact that she’s clearly thinking about me. It’s better than silence. Better than being ignored. I’ll take her anger over her absence any day.”
Whoa, insecurity, fear and what he ultimately wants. Wren. Every combative bit of her even as he was convinced she looked down on him and loathed him, his want for her was evident. And that first kiss moment, one of my favourites in any book where only a few stand out, their first kiss very much did. A public kiss no less, where the world ceased to exist around them, and Ms Wood absolutely nailed it.
Ms Wood kept the tension climbing throughout the book and I was reading through, knowing that the proverbial doo-doo is about to hit the fan, then life happened, and I was dragged away from the dam book putting the hates on who or whatever dare disturbed me.
From laughter to tears, Ms Woods kept my attention piqued. I loved the vulnerability both Ryan and Wren put out there, even as they lived in fear of hurt. This was one beautifully written book. I've been a long-time reader of Author Vivian Wood, and with each release I love her writing more. ACCIDENTAL HONEYMOON and SAY YES TO THE NEMESIS just proves how her writing talent crosses over from Alpha Bad Boys into the world of Rom Coms where the male lead is still every bit an Alpha but lives very much on the legal side of life. 5-all-th-feels-romantic-Stars🩷💙✦

Say Yes to the Nemesis has all the makings of a really fun book, but the execution was unfortunately lacking.
I did enjoy the characters of Wren and Ryan, and their love for each other was sweet, but I didn't particularly care about either of them individually. He was a good MMC but the age gap between them felt slightly icky. As the kid sister to his best friend, they met when she was 12 and he was 20. He makes a comment that he didn't actually find her attractive until she conveniently turned 18, but then a couple scenes later mentions how he's "always noticed her"? Feels a little off. This could have easily been remedied by either making the gap smaller so the attraction to her at the younger age was more reasonable or just having them being older at the time of this story, so as to allow them to have more time and experience together with her being a legally acceptable age.
The reality show backdrop was criminally under-utilized. Honestly, at times, I forgot they were even on one because the logistics of this "bachelor" show were so far-fetched, given the timeline and lack of stringent guidelines for the contentants to follow. Also, the other contestants were barely in this book. I get that we obviously want to follow the romance of our protagonist couple, but if we're at a reality dating show, this man needs to be at least actually having dates with these other women or showing even a modicum of interest in them. There needs to be tension and higher stakes about whether or not our MMC is actually falling for our FMC. Instead, the two of them are ridiculously obviously into each other for the entire duration of the show, with him paying little to no attention to ANY of the other ladies, and then you want me to believe that our FMC honestly thought that he wasn't going to pick her? He literally didn't spend enough time with another girl to give the inking that maybe she's justified in that insecurity. And don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of MMCs being with other women, but this is a REALITY DATING SHOW and he's not spending time with any of them?! I honestly couldn't tell you any the personality traits of any of the girls, or even really their names, because we barely saw them enough for me to care about them as characters. I just felt like if you're going to use this backdrop for your story, use it to it's fullest potential, or at the very least make the logistics of the show make sense. They were constantly off camera and sneaking off. You're telling me that no one noticed...ever? We only really were within the parameters of the reality show when it was convenient to excuse them spending more time together. Putting this story line on a different forced-proximity backdrop probably would've landed better for me.
The book also needed some major whittling down. It was at least four hours too long and dragged incredibly. If I hadn't received this as an ALC, I very likely would have DNF'd after the first time I asked myself how much longer was in the book, which unfortunately was around the 40% mark.
In regards to the audiobook, the narrators did a phenomenal job. Both had great voices for the characters and played the story well.

I was so excited for this one- the concept is cute!!! Our FMC is an executive producer (maybe? We'll circle back to that) for a dating show and her older brother's best friend is the famous hockey player bachelor looking for love. When the network's plant contestant doesn't show up- our FMC is thrown into the show to help control the narrative.
The issue here is in the execution. Now I'm not sure if this is co-written or if it's AI-assisted but even the writing style itself felt inconsistent and it definitely wasn't read through in it's entirety and edited. There are so many plot issues and contradictions that it made for a pretty miserable and irritating read.
First she's a production assistant who just scored her first job on a TV show. A few scenes later they says she's the executive producer. The logistics for the show aren't thought our or consistent and make it hard to follow. Are they contained in a The Bachelor kind of scenario or can they come and go as they please? You don't know and neither does the author.
The spicy scenes feel forced and over done. It felt like anytime the plot wasn't making sense- they're suddenly intimate and then we move on.
There's an age gap (7 or 8 years?) that comes and goes at the whims of the author. Need to put distance between them? She's so young and innocent and virginal. Trying to build a foundation for their relationship? And he "always noticed her growing up". With their established age gap- there is no appropriate point at which he should have noticed her "growing up". When he was 16, she was 8. When he was 18, she was 10. 🤮🤢
There relationship is also very hot and cold- also just at the whim of the author move the broken plot.
This could have been great but it really needed extensive re-working. It literally feels like you're having a stroke when you're reading it.

“Ryan is my tormentor. My almost bully. He’s also the guy I’ve never gotten over.”
Say Yes to the Nemesis was an absolute delight! I was instantly hooked by Ryan and Wren’s fiery, adversarial dynamic—their push-and-pull tension and razor-sharp banter had me grinning from page one to the final chapter.
“You’ve always been the one I couldn’t forget. There’s never been a version of my life where you didn’t matter.”
These two have always been at each other’s throats, but when Wren signs on to be a producer for Ryan’s reality dating show and unexpectedly ends up cast as one of the bachelorettes, their long-buried feelings are forced into the spotlight. In a world built for the cameras, though, how do you know what’s real and what’s just for show?
“You make me feel brave. You treat me like I matter. And most of all, when I’m with you, I feel…seen.”
Both Wren and Ryan are beautifully flawed, each carrying emotional baggage that makes vulnerability feel like a risk too big to take. Wren, long overshadowed by her brother, struggles to be truly seen—but Ryan has always seen her. Meanwhile, Ryan’s fear of abandonment and poverty drives his every move, yet his love for Wren pushes him to confront the ghosts of his past.
“You are worth every complication, every risk, every consequence that comes with this.”
Watching them face their fears and slowly let each other in was pure magic. Their chemistry crackled, their banter sparkled, and their emotional journey was deeply satisfying. With snark, flirtation, and heart in equal measure, Say Yes to the Nemesis is a rom-com gem that’s impossible to put down.

In a world built for the cameras, though, how do you know what’s real and what’s just for show?
“You make me feel brave. You treat me like I matter. And most of all, when I’m with you, I feel…seen.”
Both Wren and Ryan are beautifully flawed, each carrying emotional baggage that makes vulnerability feel like a risk too big to take. Wren, long overshadowed by her brother, struggles to be truly seen—but Ryan has always seen her. Meanwhile, Ryan’s fear of abandonment and poverty drives his every move, yet his love for Wren pushes him to confront the ghosts of his past.
“You are worth every complication, every risk, every consequence that comes with this.”
Watching them face their fears and slowly let each other in was pure magic. Their chemistry crackled, their banter sparkled, and their emotional journey was deeply satisfying. With snark, flirtation, and heart in equal measure, Say Yes to the Nemesis is a rom-com gem that’s impossible to put down.

Ryan and Wren....such deep rooted insecurities that they ran up against for the ENTIRE book! Overall, this read was 5 stars, but I had moments of wanting to tear my hair out with their back and forth of not actually speaking their thoughts and holding back. We also have Jay, Wren's big brother and Ryan's best friend that they fear will blow up at them both and never let them have a HEA.
This book takes place during the filming of a reality dating show. Ryan is cast as the bachelor and Wren is working on the show production team, until they need her to fill the role of a bachelorette. The forced proximity and overall chemistry pulls Ryan and Wren into each other's orbit over and over. They can't deny the feelings developing between them, but what is real vs pretend for the sake of the show? However, all the forbidden spice is fantastic. But it takes extreme show tactics for Ryan to show Wren that she is worth everything to him.
Ryan and Wren have so much character growth throughout the book. Overcoming so much emotional baggage.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, author, and narrators for this advanced e-arc. There are some edits that need to be made with the show contestants, especially towards the end. Listing those who were still in the running but had already been eliminated, etc. However, minus those few issues, I really enjoyed the narrators and how it helped with the emotional pull of the circumstances of being on a reality dating show and the background drama.

Ryan is a hotshot hockey player and Wren’s big brother - Jay's best friend. They live across the street from each other. They are about 8ish yrs older than Wren is. Jay has always told Ryan how much older they are than Wren is. We don't see Ryan's hockey teammates in the picture at all really.
Wren is a quiet shy girl. She doesn't like the limelight. She likes to be involved but she doesn't like being the center of attention at all. Wren lands her dream job as an executive producer on a dating reality show, she’s thrilled. But, then the producers realizes they are short one lady, and ask Wren to stand in on the show and be one of the dating contestants. When Jay finds out that Wren is on the same show as Jay he keeps telling her that he isn't right for her, and that he is bad news for her. Ryan is so much older than her she needs to stay away from him.
Around 60% or 70% the names of the contestants keep getting mixed up with who is in the rose ceremony vs who is in the house. Divya, Nikki, JacqLyn, Wren, they keep mixing up who is in the final 2 weeks and the final ceremony. Towards the end of the book, Ryan is supposed to go back to his house, and leave but is outside at the car when Wren leaves her brother's house. Not sure if that was meant to be he was waiting on her? I don't know if this was an ARC Copy error, and if it has been cleaned up or not?

I listened to this book as an audio book - (told in dual POV) by Raven Wildewood & David Lane. The narrators did a fantastic job & I loved listening to the book!! I could not put it down.
I was hooked from the beginning & stayed up way too late to finish the book!! I was grinning the whole time...what a sweet, swoonworthy story!!
So many fun tropes:
*forbidden love (best friend's younger sister)
*enemies to lovers
*arranged relationship
*age gap (I agree with some that there wasn't a huge age gap here, but it was brought up as a reason they shouldn't be together)
I loved Ryan & Wren and the whole plot of the book - such a fun idea!!
I found this book to be a bit unique & different from normal "Bachelor/Bachelorette" type "shows/relationships" because they had some downtime periodically & were allowed to go home. They also had cell phones most of the time, which normally wouldn't happen. These couple differences were used in strategic ways in the book.
I also loved Ryan's history with food insecurity & how he volunteers at the food pantry & took the girls there on a group date. And his coach who adopted him & his sister and always made sure they had enough food. There should be more great mentors like that!!

Here is a polished and cohesive version of Review of *Say Yes to the Nemesis*
by Vivian Wood
Narrated by Raven Wildewood & David Lane
⭐️⭐️⭐️
*Say Yes to the Nemesis* was a story that felt difficult to fully connect with, despite having some popular romance tropes, including brother’s best friend and enemies to lovers.
The premise follows a hockey player who agrees to appear on a Bachelor-style reality dating show. His best friend’s younger sister works as an assistant on the show until a last-minute change forces her to step in as a contestant. What begins as a fun and unexpected situation slowly develops into something more.
Unfortunately, I struggled to connect with the public nature of their relationship and the conflicts created by the show. Much of the romance felt overshadowed by the reality TV setting, making it hard to separate their personal story from the production itself. In fact, I felt the story became more engaging only after the show ended.
The narrators did a solid job, but overall, this book didn’t fully resonate with me.
Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC.

Charming and SEXY! This best friends sister romance is so entertaining and fun.
Wren has lived in her brothers shadow for must of her life and now she has a chance to break free from it with her new job. Unfortunately, there’s a twist that she and her brothers best friend Ryan never saw coming and it brings past feelings to the surface.
Ryan has always seen Wren, even when she would hide in the shadows and try to be invisible.
The love/hate relationship between them is only amplified by the reality tv show they’re both part of. For the fans of the show they will be faking their interest for each other but when fake turns to reality their attraction toward one another isn’t fake at all…it’s electrifying and intense.
Ryan a professional hockey player and womanizer never thought he would fall for the one girl who was off limits.
So if you’re looking for a flirty, fascinating and interesting romance with tantalizing and engaging characters you will definitely enjoy Ryan and Wren’s remarkably touching and beautiful story.

Ryan and Wren's story is mind-blowing! I was captivated from the first page to the last and could hardly put the book down. The complexity of the story is fantastic ... describing so many characters, breathing life into each one of them ... it's quite a feat!
Ryan and Wren are my new dream couple, that's for sure. They are a perfect match, you couldn't ask for more! The personal development they each go through, the development they undergo as a couple ... simply phenomenal. Their feelings, their thoughts, their behavior, their fears and worries ... everything is described so vividly that it's all relatable and makes them seem totally authentic.
I simply cannot find enough words to do justice to this latest work by Ms. Wood! It is an absolute must-read in my opinion and definitely one of my reading highlights this year!

Reality TV Tension at It’s Finest
Wren is off limits. Too young, Too innocent. Too everything. Ryan was never supposed to want her. In all the years he has know her, he has been more interested in embarrassing her. Wren has been crushing on Ryan from a safe distance for years. She wrote him off as cocky and selfish. If she gives in to her feelings what will she do when he walks away which he is sure to do. This enemies to lovers romance has so many tropes embedded in it. There is deep emotion and spice balanced by fun banter and humor. Both Ryan and Wren have childhood scars that prevent them from trusting their feelings and the possibility of lasting love even though their chemistry and unbeatable attraction blooms when they are thrown together. Enjoyable read.
I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

This is a really fun story about a lady named Wren who is a little bit nerdy and also has a love hate relationship with her brother's best friend Ryan. He really knows how to push her buttons but she also has a mini crush on him. She also works work a reality show (like the Bachelor). And when she has to fill in for one of the ladies vying for the dream man's attention, she knows that the Bachelor is none other than her nemesis Ryan. When the show they put on for the production starts feeling too real, like the delicious make out sessions, she starts to wonder if Ryan is also feeling it. I love a good enemies to lovers, brother's best friend trope list. Vivian's characters and romcom stories are always a delight to read. I love the flirty banter between Ryan and Wren and also their teasing and taunting. Highly recommend this one.
August 25, 2025
This was a really good read. It’s an enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, and close proximity all rolled into one. Wren gets her dream job, but what she didn’t expect was having g to be a participant in the reality show her nemesis is starring in. Ryan is her tormentor and Wren’s brother’s best friend. He is starring in a new reality show to find his dream girl. He just never realized his dream girl is actually his best friend’s little sister. There is drama, angst, truths revealed, and it pulls out the feels. You need to read this and watch just how Wren and Ryan really are perfect for each other. There were times when I was shaking my phone like I was trying to shake the characters and some I just wanted to really bonk them on the heads, or more. These two were made for each other and Vivian did a great job showing just that.

Wren is more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it so her anxiety about have to be a contestant in a dating show rather than the producer is understandable. This anxiety is only increased by the fact that the bachelor on the sister happens to be her brother’s friend Ryan who she shares an antagonist relationship with.
Ryan is a professional hockey player who is well aware of the fact that Wren is younger than him. Whenever he and Wren are together the sparks fly whether they are sparring with each other or giving into the chemistry between them however being with her has complicated written all over it.
The interactions between them are entertaining, the characters are intriguing and the romance between them enchanting even amidst all the turmoil of why they find themselves spending time together.

I went into this book skeptically, the last Bachelor coded book I read did not land well with me, but this one I really truly enjoyed! The third act was expected, but the redemption was wonderful!
I loved how their banter in the beginning and liked it was true enemies and hordes bully territory. I loved how they ended up on the same show and how they slowly both gave in to what they were feeling. I loved their push and pull on how to move forward all things considered and I loved their open communication throughout.
Raven Wildewood and David Lane narrated this book and I really enjoyed their performances! This was my first time listening to them and I look forward to listening to them again.
Thank you, Vivian Wood and Dreamscape Media for an advanced copy of the audiobook. I really enjoyed it!

I love this entertaining story with Ryan and Wren’s story. Her brother’s best friend Ryan, a hockey jock, she doesn’t understand, she hates arrogant attitude, a man who always picking on her. A man her brother has warned to stay away from his baby sister. They are Fire and Ice together and now fate they’re thrown together in an impossible situation. She’s hoping to break out of brother’s shadow and prove herself, but the unexpected happens and everything changes. What happens when feeding become involved, feelings they never expected in this forbidden love story? Can she and Ryan actually get along? Will she prove her worth to the world? To Ryan? I have voluntarily read and reviewed this story.

When I tell you that Say Yes to the Nemesis has ALL of my favorite tropes rolled into one, I mean every single one, and I was SO excited to dive right in! Ryan and Wren are an instant fav book couple for me. They have just the right amount of snarky shared history, cringe loving moments, and tons of over the top romance, once they finally realize how much their hatred equals passion. What adds an extra layer of tension and humor is the setting of this book being on a reality tv show where Ryan is the bachelor and Wren is forced to be one of the bachelorettes vying for his attention. When the heated moments start feeling real, Wren wonders if Ryan is feeling it too or if it is all for show. I love this author and I love this read! Definitely a favorite of 2025!

Ryan and Wren have known each other for years because he's her brother's best friend, and they clash. Even though these two know each other, I love how the author brought them together in a dating reality show where she unexpectedly gets cast as one of the bachelorettes and he's the bachelor. I will admit that I don't watch many reality TV shows, but I do love a good enemies-to-lovers romcom, and Vivian Wood writes the best. From the fun and flirty banter to the drama, angst, humor, and steam, this is a great read. Say Yes to the Nemesis is book two in the Wildflower Lane series. I highly recommend this book, this series, and this author to everyone who loves reading about fun characters and entertaining storylines. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
September 15, 2025
The fiery enemies-to-lovers plot had incredibly good bones and kept me reading to the end. Unfortunately, the execution reduced it to a 3.5 to 4 ⭐️ optimistic rating. There were quite a few inconsistencies and plot holes, especially in the 2nd half. A chapter or two seemed extraneous or out of order. I wish the activities of and the emotional impact of the reality show was explored just a bit further. Why was Wren put in as mole but never did mole-like things? How could she standby and watch him get up close and personal with other women?
If you don’t nit pick, there is enough here to keep you entertained.

I received this as an ALC from NetGalley in exchange for review.
Say Yes to the Nemesis was my first book by Vivian Wood and I really liked it. The connection between the two was pretty quick and it gave me whiplash, but I think that was the point. There was a bit of miscommunication and a lot of lack of communication, but I didn’t find it too annoying. I think they both struggled with how they could actually let themselves have what they wanted and make it work/last.
I love a reformed bad boy.
I would definitely recommend to fans of sports romances. 💜💜

Reality TV, work place romance, forbidden brother’s best friend/best friend’s little sister plus a little hockeye/professional athlete vibes; this book had a lot including plenty of spice (with a virgin/teach me aspect).
I liked the story. The third act breakup (no spoiler) was a little hard for me to get behind but in a true romance they ended with their HEA.
Narrators Raven Wildewood and David Lane, new to me narrators, did a nice job. This was also my first book by Vivian Wood.
Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC.

Unexpected Reunion
Wow what an emotional story of childhood rivals reuniting in an unexpected way. Reality television and finding love was not what Wren intended when she got a job as one of the show's producers, but circumstances cause a change to the script. It was an interesting read as Ryan is presented as the bachelor for women to compete over. The tension and chemistry between them were intense and off-the-charts. I did not want to put this book down until I got to the very end. It was absolutely delightful.

Filling in for one of the bachelorettes on a dating show, with the bachelor being your brother’s best friend who always made you feel less? Yeah, not such a great idea. But the chemistry they share isn’t just for show.
I have to say I loved it. They have to play a role, but it’s hard to identify what’s real and what’s just an act. But the feeling can no longer be denied. Wren and Ryan are in a setting where nothing is private, people watching them grow towards each other with flirtation and wonderful banter.
A book I will definitely be reading again.

Wren has always had a slight crush on her brother's best friend Ryan growing up. Ryan being 8 years older than her always seem to pick and torment her. She finally now gets job she has been wanting as an executive producer but gets a surprise to see how the leading man is in the show. The producers want her to go from behind the camera to in front of it. Will she do it knowing she will have to face him knowing how he has always treated her? Will this be a enemy to lovers by the end? What will her brother say when he finds out they are doing this? A great book from the start.
