I think I stopped at 3...not sure if GR did some tricks on me.

[Grey]

I'm going to go with ... or

I’m going to go with this one since I’ve read and loved all of Lucy Parker’s books and haven’t gotten to her newest yet.

Ahhh...I really enjoyed this on..."

Trust me, I have no doubt. The previous book sets this one up, I just haven’t had a chance to read it yet. If you enjoyed this one, you have to read her first two books. They’re my favorites in the series and Act Like It is probably an all-time fave. 😍

[Grey]

Okay...this is what I've got so far, let me know if I've gotten anything wrong, or you've changed your mind...or if anyone else wants in this month :D

Here's my review:

[Denise]

I'm going to read "I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills.

[Lisa]

oh poop.... my phone was messing up GR th er other day. I thought i came back and entered my April choice already. :/ if I can still enter this month I'm going with HATE YOU NOT by Ella James.

[Leslie]

I finished Moonlight on Nightingale Way and loved it!!! 4.5**** Tons of feels and lots of tears.

[Jean]

Leslie, is it a standalone? I can't remember where I left off in this series.... That's a really high rating for you! Lol!

[Melinda]

I loved that too Jean. It was great.

Wow Leslie, that unusual for you. You must have enjoyed it.

Jean, I only read first few in series and don't even remember them as its been a while. The former characters make brief appearances but it's not a biggie. The only time it was slightly annoying was in the epilogue where they did an update on all the previous couples. It was quick and you can just skip over it. 🙂

I really did enjoy it and connected with the characters. Yay me!

Oh my goodness Jen...I just saw you sent this....I'm so sorry. I haven't started it yet. Probably over this weekend. Have you started it?

Thanks Leslie! Good to know.

[Grey]

I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills got 3 stars from me...just not what I was looking for.

[Sarah]

Hate Notes done.
Overall rating- 3.5 stars
4 stars for first 60-75% of the book, 3 for the last portion 🤷‍♀️

Thats awesome Leslie! I read this series a few years ago and really liked it 😁

I probably wont start my pick for a while yet...my library dumped a bunch of holds on me the other day...reading The Siren now

[Nay]

Grey--I'm going to use the book I'm finishing up editing for this, so will you please change my book to Black Knight by Rina Kent? And I give it 5 stars!

It's been a loooong time since I read a high school "bully" romance, and I enjoyed it SO much. I also love that it's written in British English. After reading this, I feel like I can read the Brayshaw High books when I finally have time. Er, maybe not--I just looked at your review, Grey! Don't think I can handle a bunch of typos and errors.

Now that I'm using this, I can a) have the challenge finished early (yay me!); and b) I can put a hold on What Alice Forgot and save my credit for an audio book that my library doesn't have.

Yay, Leslie! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like I mentioned, it was one of my top favorites in the whole series.

It reminded me a lot of Melt for You which I also loved. (stand alone w/hot scottish neighbor who aggravates h)

[Michele]

Okay after all the love up there, I'm changing my pick to .

Sorry to be a pain Grey....please and thank you..:-)

[Marta]

I finished this one, i liked the book, had some minor problems with it, but the banter and sexual tension were great and funny. And the hero isn't a playboy so a bonus. Rating 3,5*

[Marta]

Finished today my second book but i need to think about my rating.
Parts of it I enjoyed but the closer it got to the end, the more of the story I started to dislike and get bored. Some things were pretty unrealistic and very out of character :S

Update: rating 2*

Ooh, Leslie, that's good to know. I've wanted to read Melt With You, but haven't rushed to it since I didn't really care for the first book in the series.

[T.]

I finished my pick for this month and it was a surefire 5 Star!! I've enjoyed all of Lucy Parker's books, but this one just topped the list with her first two releases as a top fave.

Yes! Lucy Parker is one of my top 5 favorite romance authors. The first two and Headliners are my favorite, but the 3rd and 4th books are good, too. Just not my faves.

Yes! of course!

[Grey]

I've updated the main post with everyone's ratings...please let me know if I accidentally missed yours.

I've read so many enemies to lovers this month. Thank you so much for this theme, T.! It is my absolute favorite! ❤️❤️

[Lisa]

Just finished my pick, and rated it 4 stars.



There is something so satisfying about this trope when it's well done!

[Denise]

I just finished my book,
"I Hate You" by Ilsa Madden-Mills.
I give it 5 stars. I loved this book and the angst and love they have for each other. Great story. You'll love Charisma and Blaze's story.

Grey, I'm changing my book...SORRY! but I'm not feeling it and it's realllllllly long, like almost 700pgs! so instead of Devious Lies I'm going to read

[Jen]

finally, had time to read and finish, 3 stars.

[JudyCa]

Finished 4* enemies-to-lovers, light and fun and sexy 😉

[Michele]

So I'm super glad I switched to Moonlight on Nightingale Way ...I absolutely love these characters! I'm going to finish it under the wire today...I'm close. It will definitely be a 5* for me...just can't lose with a bloody sexy Scot! ;-)

Isn’t that a good one, Michele? The series was hit and miss for me, but that one might be my favorite.

Michele--I loved that series for a while, but then I quit reading it and now I'm behind. Have you kept up with it? I'll have to check to see the last one I read.

Just checked, the last one I read was Before Jamaica Lane.
