Some people aren’t nice, and if there’s anything I’ve learned from my chaotic childhood, it’s that hurt people hurt other people.

New-to-me author, Charity Ferrell, really impressed me. I read some of the teasers for this book, found it to be light and dirty, saw it was free, and one-clicked. And then I was completely blown over by the fact that this story was NOTHING like I expected.

Was it enemies-to-lovers? Yes.
Kind of a second chance romance? Yes again.
But it ended up having such a deeper meaning than the dirty talking teasers led me to believe.

Chloe was the girl born and raised on the 'wrong' side of the tracks. Kyle was the golden boy, son of the mayor turned respected police officer. A moment of teenage angst turned these two into enemies and the hatred in Chloe's soul only boils hotter when he moves in next door. She has a hard time pulling up her big woman panties and treating him as the man he is today and not the boy she once knew. But Kyle isn't one to give up and he'll show her he's changed no matter what.

Family drama, a blossoming relationship, and a ton of woe made this supposedly 'light' read into a real winner.
