If you want a book that is mainly the two characters going at it constantly, then this book is for you! If you were hoping for a dramatic novel mixed with sexy scenes, well, you are outta luck! When I heard about this book, it was explained to me as mainly a drama mixed with the "romance" scenes...alas, they were wrong. Perhaps they picked up the wrong book? Now, don't get me wrong. This book is well written for a steamy book! This soap opera like novel is definitely a great book if you want to turn your brain off and not deal with complicated issues - just steamy romance, the odd dramatic moment, and then more sexy time! I did enjoy this book - mainly for the time that I could turn my brain off and just read. It's not complicated, it's quite easy to read, and the book keeps moving along! Would I have liked more drama? Yes. But, this book was a turn-your-brain-off-and-relax sort of book! Would I have liked the main characters not to be the stereotypical "they hate each other but oh wow let's get busy"? Yes. It seemed like another novel made as a Twilight fan fiction into a book...but hey, it was hot! Three out of five stars! (  ) Briars_Reviews | Aug 4, 2023 |

This has not diminished one bit since I read this 10 years ago.
Embodying the epitome of enemies to lovers vitriolic banter, explosive chemistry, and while still wondrously filled to the brim with delicious hate sex, this totally delivers.
Minus that rampant romance novel 3rd act breakup, I love that Chloe is strong and assertive who rises to every challenge Bennett throws at her, and Bennett’s resistance but imminent fall is sexy AF.
Yep. Still fabulously titillating, still good stuff! Unf.
