Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new, stand-alone novel.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: He and I were enemies more than a decade ago, in high school. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. 

I could go on and on, really.

When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. He’s now as successful as he is undeniably handsome. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

Eventually, though, we slowly warm to each other, and our outings become something I actually look forward to. What’s happening to me?

Apparently, I misunderstood the assignment - because it certainly didn’t include thinking about Troy when I close my eyes at night, imagining what it would be like with him, just once. All the while hating myself for fantasizing about a guy who’s all wrong for me. A guy whose car I keyed back in the day. (Long story, but he deserved it.)

That’s all this is - a fantasy. Well, until that one night at the bar. The night Troy and I run into each other and all of our pent-up frustration comes barreling out.

Still, I refuse to accept that it means anything. There’s no way the guy I’m supposed to hate is also the one I can’t live without.

Entertaining enemies to lovers romance

I love a good enemies to lovers romance, and Troy Serrano and Aspyn Dumont were very definitely enemies. They’ve not seen each other for over 10 years and still they hold a grudge, Aspyn especially. This started off when Troy used to date Aspyn’s best friend, until that is, he cheated on her, and Aspyn being the good friend that she is, got payback in the best possible way. Fast forward 10 years and they have to spend 4 hours a week together and play nice while looking after Troy’s grandfather. Easier said than done. Entertaining, funny in places, and of course sexy, with some funny characters - grandad and Kiki in particular come to mind. The audio was narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York so I can’t fault it.
