It's a delicious enemies to lovers story and had me actually LOLing. I know we all say LOL like it is part of breathing, but I really did laugh...a lot. The characters are relatable and fun and Ethan just sizzles off the page. I'm SUCH a sucker for stories that take place in tropical locales/resorts too so this was just an all around WIN WIN for me.
Why not 5 stars? There was some angst that I'm not normally a huge fan of and present tense I struggle with at times - but the other amazing 80% of the story made me overlook these factors quickly. ...more

Grey for the sheer fact that she is a QUEEN when it comes to inner monologue. She is so good at making the reader FEEL what the characters are feeling instead of just being told what they are feeling.
This book is about an emotionally abused woman who works up the courage to leave her husband, escape to Texas, and lands a meager job on a Texas ranch thanks to her half sister. Of course, her previous husband was Hollywood producer so she's used to living the high life.
Enter the Hero, who happens to be the ranch owner, and automatically assumes that she is a spoiled princess, and dislikes her from the start. Here we have: enemies to lovers trope, my CATNIP!
Grey does SUCH a good build up with these two characters, and we get a unique opportunity to get into the Hero's head as well with alternating POVs. I dug it. Even the sex scene was completely from the guy's perspective, which is rare!
The Hero was just the right amount of asshole, with the right amount of sweetness that made up for said prickishness. The heroine, despite her unfortunate mental batterings from her ex-husband, is strong, and not too proud to clean toilets if it means making money and starting her life over. Completely respected her and loved her.
Honorable mention goes to the Hero's grandma, Edith as well. She is SO snarky, and a pure Texan at heart :)
I loved this read SO much, I will be reading another R.S. Grey book VERY soon!...more
Me and Harlequin books do not get along. Can't really blame the author on this one. Me and Harlequin books do not get along. Can't really blame the author on this one. ...more
