Throwback: An Enemies to Lovers Fantasy

by Brianna Skylark

He’s a drop-dead gorgeous, arrogant idiot, and she’s a smoking hot, prissy little prude, with a secret filthy kink.

Sienna has hated Harry for years. Egotistical, dominant, obnoxious - she could barely stand the sight of him, until she moved away to London to start a new life. So when she’s dragged back home by her parents for a two week summer holiday, staying in - of all places - Harry’s house, she can’t think of anything worse.

Except, something’s different. Harry’s changed. He’s got a Hollywood smile, a quarterback jawline, and washboard abs. He’s grown up, but she’s still the same; innocent, sweet and naive.

So when he makes her a filthy offer, that has her tingling in all the wrong forbidden places, Sienna begins to discover that boy she used to hate, might just be the man of her dreams.

A Very Demonstrative Teacher

Raw, naughty, and a very fun first time out for Sienna and her hands-on, very demonstrative instructor, Harry. It also has moments that are so sweet and sensual. I so enjoyed it! Their love/hate thing over the years breaks down and the truth comes to light. For Sienna, you really can come home again. 😉🔥💜


UPDATED 8/2023:
It was nice to revisit Sienna Taylor and Harry Jones. They are young and slowly growing up. She probably grew the most, and rightly so.

He was meant to grow up to become less attractive, not more. No one with that level of arrogance should be allowed to look like that.
-- Sienna Taylor

I do like the sweet ending, which is an HFN.

This story was an enemies to lovers with a bit of heart at the very end, but it ended way too soon. I wanted more of the story between Sienna and Harry and more of the sexcapades that happened between them. There were some British colloquialisms that I ended up having to google because I didn't understand them, being American. That did distract from the story a smidge, but not enough to ruin it or anything. I sure some readers would have just glossed over it but I like to learn so I wanted to know what the phrases meant. I enjoy all of Brianna Skylark's books that I've read so far and this one didn't disappoint (other than being too short). Can't wait to read the next installment if this is a series, or whatever new comes out next.

Hazy Summer Days and HOT Summer Nights

This story is the perfect blend of innocent exploration and steamy hook-up. I loved how the youth of Harry and Sienna really bounces off the pages of this book. And, being the youths that they are, they take the ‘loophole’ to their advantage. Another steamy-hot, captivating story by Brianna Skylark.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Sienna is returning to the town she grew up in with her parents before going off to college, she’s excited and dreading seeing her neighbour Harry. They were friends during their younger years but things changed and they became enemies. She had a crush on him back then but he made it clear that there was nothing about her he liked, but things will be different now, surely they have both changed. She’s well aware of his reputation with the ladies. Has her crush on Harry gone away or will this trip prove that she loves someone who died t love her?

Harry was mess than ecstatic about the news of Sienna and her parents at coming to stay with them for a few weeks. He remembers the Sienna of old and how their friendship died, although her beauty was second to none when they were younger he’s curious to find out who she is now. He wasn’t as prepared for her return in his life that he thought he was and she’s breaking down his walls with all of his misconceptions. Harry is shocked when he finally admits to himself that what he has always felt for her is love. Could this be a new start for them both?

This was a short steamy read about reconnecting with old friends and learning how they have changed. I would have liked more development in the book between Harry and Sienna though, it kind of felt rushed. 3.5* read.

This story was a little different as we have two young adults who have not seen one another in three years. Sienna's Dad had a job transfer that took her away from the boy next door, Harry. Secretly, they liked one another, in person it seemed friendly but hateful. They have both changes alot in three years and now we have all out attraction. Summer fling amongst old friends? A great story with all the steaminess that comes with the characters as they explore life and one another. Enjoy!

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a short enemies to lovers romance between Harry and Sienna. Things change between them now that they are all grown up and there are different sparks flying between them. They seem to mesh pretty well together now. All it took was him asking her the right thing in the end. 3.5

Aptly titled but felt a bit rushed.& shallow.....
Reconnecting for a holiday with former neighbours the young adult children remember their gaming history but the nerdy guy has become an arrogant jerk, admittedly a good looking one who works his magic in the bedroom. They declare their love, the end! I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

Let the kink fly on your vacation

Throwback is the third book in the Forbidden Temptations series and is an entertaining and smexy enemies to lovers romance. The story is about Sienna and Harry and one indecent proposal. Let the games and fun begin.
