I said it before and I say it again: if you want me to like your asshole hero, you need to give me a savage bitch for a heroine, or as my favorite dork in the universe put it; "a person who can give it back as good as they can take it."
In this unfortunate case, Ben is a worthless prick, and Emilia is in a desperate need for a spine and an understanding for the words dignity and self-esteem. And for goodness' sake, if I read one more page of her pathetically lusting after him despite

I loved this book A LOT, I loved the banter, the characters, the chemistry, even the unbeliavable plot and loved the fact that for once we didn't have a hero POV. It's better for me not to know all the time what he's thinking and it is SO RARE to find these days !

It was almost a 5 star reads, but something bothered me at the end. Thinking about it, it happened a little too fast for me. What really bothers me is that the main characters never had a real long convo, about anything. Hosti

What a relief to find this book. I haven’t been glued to a book and finished it within 24 hrs in a long time. This book reminded me a little of Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game; similar writing style, enemies to lovers, fun dialogue and even a scene where the heroine looks after a sick hero.

This one was hard for me to rate, because I really liked some parts, but some parts felt rushed or left out. There was so much potential with this book, with good writing and even the implausible set-up didn't deter me from diving headlong into this, since I like a good enemies to lovers. The progression of their relationship felt rushed at the end and (view spoiler) ...more

This was really enjoyable but I feel like there was SO much this author didn’t dive into that was begging to be explored more, as well as storylines that just sort of died out without a satisfying enough conclusion. Still looking forward to Mara and Nick’s book!
