My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing
Synopsis
Maddie:
How did I become a washed-up lawyer at the ripe age of twenty-six? I’ll tell you.
Connor Freaking Quinn. AKA, the devil himself.
When he shows up at my new job to apologize, I’d just as soon torture him than talk to him. It’s entertaining, but it doesn’t change the past. And that’s what I’ve been trying to do for the last four months. I have to get back into law.
The problem is, the longer I’m away from the courtroom, I can’t help but realize I prefer a much different court.
Connor:
The reason for our feud?
It’s simple, really. I need a distraction, and fighting with Maddie is the perfect way to keep my mind off the stress from the last couple years. Messed up, I know.
I’ll admit, I took it too far. I didn’t mean to start that rumor, but I ruined her life anyway. I have to fix things for her.
If only she will talk to me. I miss her cute glares and snide remarks—maybe I should consider therapy.
The guilt isn’t the only thing keeping me around, though. And the longer I try to get her to talk to me, the harder it is to stay away.
My Review
The best thing about the enemies to lovers trope is the potential for amazing tension, and this book delivered! It was fun when Connor realized before Maddie that he had fallen for her, but was tormenting her for attention since he didn't feel good enough to win her on his own merits. Their office competition came to an ugly end when Connor inadvertently gets her fired... but that's not the end of their rivalry. These two are crazy with each other! And for each other- but it takes much longer for Maddie to get to a place where she can trust him. When she's his personal trainer at the gym? Comedy gold. I loved the banter and chemistry these enemies-to-lovers shared and the growth they both go through on their journey. This was such a fun read!
