Firstly let me thank Monica for reaching out to me and asking me to if I would like to review.

So i devoured this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down. Hook, line and sinker 🪝
This book is not even out yet so I am going to try very hard not to give much away… here is some of the tropes you will see;

- brothers best friend
- Enemies to lovers
- Age gap
- Grumpy sunshine
- Touch her and ☠️
- Spice

Our two leads are Damien and Sophie, they shouldn’t want each other there is a 17 year age gap between them and well he is her older brothers best friend.
They first meet with her brother in the background and the attraction is instant and strong, but they become fast enemies. ( do I think it was a way for Damien to not instantly rip off her panties… damn right I do)

Sophie has a past she hates to relive but it has held her captive for some time now and she is finally ready to move on and get on with her life. She doesn’t trust easily, she has her walls up and isn’t ready to let them down. However Damien isn’t asking that MF is smashing them down one way or the other.
This girl is strong, sassy, beautiful inside and out! I enjoyed her personality, her strength and her fight.
She sure gives as good and she gets, let’s also lay it down this girl knows what she wants and she’s ready to go for it!

Damien well this man is possessive, protective and just a bit broken himself. He got in with the wrong crowed when he was younger to help himself survive but he fought to get himself free from them but are you ever really free from your past. He doesn’t want anything to do with Sophie, though he can’t seem to stay away. He has never felt this way about a woman before and he definitely shouldn’t be feeling with way about his best friends younger sister.

Can either of them ignore this attraction that is ready to ignite at any more?
Can they risk getting close knowing all the destruction it will cause?

Throw in enemies from Damien’s past…
An ex that won’t be ignored…
A brother who is nothing but trouble…
And so much more!

Can I also just say I normally guess all twists before they happen, there was one in this book even I wasn’t ready for and definitely never expected.

I laughed, I swooned, I did cry and I loved! - highly recommend!
