About the author
Anna DePalo
195 books139 followersWhile still in her teens, Anna DePalo began her first novel. She wishes she could say that this early manuscript went on to receive numerous accolades and to bring her fame and fortune. Instead, that first attempt—well, all three pages of it—hit the trash heap, and she understood why many authors have burned their papers for posterity.
She has lived in Italy and England, graduated from Harvard, earned an advanced degree in political science, and practiced intellectual property law.
One day, she decided to give fiction writing another try, believing that having done some more living would help her tell the truth about life in the pages of made-up stories. This time she didn’t stop at three pages—or even ninety-three. That first finished manuscript soon sold to Harlequin, became a bestseller and award-winner, and has been published in over twenty countries to date.
Anna's books have hit the USA Today best-seller list, and have won the RT Book Club Reviewers' Choice Award, the OCCRWA Book Buyer’s Best, the NJRW Golden Leaf, and the NECRWA Readers' Choice. She lives with her husband, son and daughter in New York.

This is a romance that starts with a fake relationship. The two main characters families has a long standing family feud. I loved the characters, and the family feud added something extra to the book that made it fun to read. This is a short and quick read, but this book did not pull me in from the beginning. I have to say once I was pulled in that I did not want to stop reading the book. The ending was cute and fun. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Desire) or author (Anna DePalo) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that. (*)

Sweet, this book was right in many ways, hot, spicy, and tantalizingly delectable. A beautiful scintillating story that warms the heart and sets it a panting. I love Mia’s character she was badass, and takes no nonsense from anyone, even Damian. I enjoyed this book immensely, a great must-read.

I really enjoyed reading the love story between Mia and Damian. This is a Romeo and Juliet story, with a HEA! I haven't read the first books in the Serenghetti Brothers series, but this book definitely has me ready to jump backwards into the beginnings of the series. Damian is a drool-worthy Hero and Mia is the perfect partner for him. I very much enjoyed this book and thank Anna DePalo an NetGallery for the advanced copy. 5 stars!

Anna DePalo is one of my favorites romance writers, and I really enjoyed this book.
The book itself had like three of my favorite romance tropes, enemies to lovers, fake dating, and secret longing for each other, with notable mentions of I shouldn't have done this.
The story follows two characters that have similar but at the same time different upbringings, their families are rivals which explains the animosity between them at the start of the book.
The story goes like this without spoilers:
Mia needs a date for his big fashion event, and at a party she meets with Damian and they have an accidental first encounter, Damian offers to go with her because something happens between them that lead to her being single and needing a date, so as a way to they been in good terms he offers to go with her, which she doesn't agree right away, then something of his business life needs her to get him in this fashion event.
Things happen if you know this kind of books, romance a bit of misunderstand it.
I highly recommend it to people with a love for romance.

A sweet love story showing that with a little hope and some steamy love even the worst of enemies can find common ground!
Damian and Mia started off hot and heavy but when Mia realizes her mistake it’s too late and Damian will stop at nothing to make her his! I loved how these two didn’t jump straight Into the throws of passion but let their friendship build so when their relationship went to the next level you knew their connection was only going to grow!
The witty banter and funny barbs really take this book to the next level and I loved every word as well as enjoyed the journey!

Loved, loved SO RIGHT....WITH MR. WRONG
So privileged to have received an ARC of this book.
Mia Serenghetti, a fashion designer needs a date for a huge gala. It seems she has only one option and that is Damien Musil a very hot tech. Their two families are rivals. Put Damien and Mia together, a fake date, chemistry and denial to their story and love has to win. A fast and fun read!
Oh my gosh, Anna DePalo did an amazing job in finishing the Serenghetti Brothers 4 book series.

Fun enemies to lovers story. Mia needs a date for the Ruby Ball. The man she had been dating just got married to someone else. Then Mia mistakes a man at a costume ball for her second choice and discovers that she laid a lip-lock on Damian Musil. She and Damian grew up in the same town, and their families are business rivals, so she's shocked when Damian suggests that he be her date.
Though Mia doesn't know it, Damian has been attracted to her for a long time. This event provides the opportunity he needs to get closer to her. Mia is wary, well aware of the animosity her family holds for his. But Damian has an ace up his sleeve to tip the balance his way. Mia soon finds herself embroiled in a fake relationship that becomes all too real.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Damian and Mia. At first, it was just the ball, then Damian needed her for a business outing. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they actually liked each other, in addition to the attraction that burned between them. I liked seeing them spend time together and build a friendship before taking the next step. The more time they spend together, the deeper their feelings grow, though neither admits it. For Mia, the animosity between the two families is a significant obstacle. Things go quite well between them until a recent purchase by Damian's company impacts Mia's family. I ached for both of them, as Mia felt betrayed and Damian was just confused. I loved the advice Damian got from his dad and what he did to make things right. The epilogue was great.
The family dynamics in the book were interesting. Mia's brothers Cole and Jordan irritated me with their attitudes toward Damian. I loved the scene at the beginning where he backed up Mia with her family. It was fun to see him refused to get riled no matter what they said. I also liked Mia's encounter with Damian's father and brother. Though I haven't read the other books in the series (yet), there was enough background dropped in through the book that I wasn't lost.

Satisfying conclusion to this family saga. I need to read the third book in the series, though.

I didn't like it, the heroine was so mean to the hero and all because of a family feud. I didn't care for the family feud plot at all. I also found the book on the whole to be boring. Np.

This is the best way to write enemy to lovers. I love the humor, the intensity, the banter, the tension... love the storyline all around.

Mia and Damien come from feuding families. He's always been attracted to her, but she's wary of him. They agree to accompany each other to a couple of social events for business reasons—nothing more. But when her family objects to her dating him, rebel Mia starts thinking it wouldn't be such a bad idea to get to know him better. But is Damien using her for his own ends—and to seek revenge on her family?
Damien is such a sweetheart in this book. A few times I wanted to shake Mia for keeping her distance. I confess, I did not see the twist toward the end coming. If you like the family feud trope, you will likely enjoy this book.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!**
This was unfortunately not for me. I will completely admit that I think this was just personal preference. I just didn't get along with the writing in this book. Because of that I also just didn't feel any connection to any of the characters. If you're interested in the synopsis I would recommend giving it a read .

Mia and Damien's families were rival in business for a long time. Things between Mia and Damian started when Damian helped Mia's ex-boyfriend to marry to someone else and then one day, she accidentally kissed him thinking he was someone else. Mia needed an escort for the famous Ruby's Ball and the opportunity for Damian was too good to let pass. So, when he proposed a deal to Mia about being her escort if she helped him with his business associates by being his date. Mia had no other choice but to agree. Thus began the fake dating which turned into real dating pretty soon. but when the rivalry and a bit of misunderstanding came between their relationship, they both made their fair share of mistakes as their loyalties and love were being questioned. But at they end, they both realized they've fallen in love despite their differences. The End.
My feelings about this book is neutral. Nothing particular really stood out for me in this book. Besides, the ending seemed rushed. A lot of information was missing. The author mentioned so much about the family rivalry, yet she didn't focus on that part about how the bond was formed between the both families when Damian and Mia finally got together. Like how did they behave in each others present as they went from being enemies to being families? I also wish there were some kinda family moments like a picnic or a get together or something like that. I was kinda disappointed. But the attraction level between Damian and Mia was alright. Yet something was missing. Dunno what exactly. Anyway, you can give it a try if you want a light read.
