BLURB

This summer was supposed to be spent lounging on the beach, madly in love with my boyfriend.

Until he decided to move to Singapore, and break up with me an hour before his plane left.

Now I’m stuck in a Hamptons house share with six of his closest pals, including his best friend … who despises me.

Since the moment Smith Redfield laid eyes on me, he’s hated my guts. I’m serious, I think the raven-haired restaurateur gets physically sick just being in my presence. And he’s never been shy about hiding that fact.

There was the time he cackled when I landed face first in a pile of Manhattan trash bags. Or the night I tried to throw my ex-boyfriend a surprise party, and Smith had strippers crash the bash. Or maybe it was New Year's Eve, when he got in my face and called me a sheltered goody two-shoes who wouldn’t know passion if it smacked me in the lips.

He’s rooming right next door for the summer months, and I don’t think more animosity could exist than in the hallway of our vacation rental. As if I wasn’t already sporting a bruised ego and broken heart from the way his best friend left me.

But the more midnight run-ins we have, the more I can’t help but think about the way his mouth would feel against mine. With each heavy-eyed glance over the dinner table, I’m starting to wonder if the damaged alpha male doesn’t harbor more than just loathing towards me.

After all, they say hate is the closest emotion to love.

And with the way we’re skating that thin line, it’s bound to burn this whole house down.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Firstly, I absolutely adore the cover - it's beautiful and fitting for the story. I need it on my shelf!

Secondly, this story was a fantastic read! I couldn't put it down.

"The fair-skinned, doe-eyed woman who looks like a Swedish princess and gets my cock harder than any of the busty brunettes I woo on the island of Manhattan."

When Molly Archer's boyfriend of one year suddenly up and leaves for a job in Singapore with no discussion or any real warning, she finds herself stuck in a house-share with five of his closest friends plus her own bestie. She's determined to go through with it because who would turn down a summer in the Hamptons in a beautiful house? Even though she'll be sharing space with her ex's best friend, Smith Redfield, who's hated her from the moment she met him.

"I'm openly gaping at Smith. He looks...hot. Like he's about to rip this guy's throat out and then throw me over his shoulder to bring me back to his cave."

Smith knows no other way to behave where Molly is concerned. He's conditioned himself to be mean and cruel because the alternative...would be disastrous. She's always met his hatefulness with meekness but when she starts to bite back, it's all he can do to keep his hands off her. Even though his best friend has disappeared out of their lives, there's still bro code.

"This was the kiss of a man who had waited for more than three hundred and sixty-five days to take this woman's mouth."

Oh my god! I LOVE THIS BOOK HARD!!! Smith and Molly were dynamite together. I adored the sparks that flew between them. Their first kiss was so hot and heartfelt, filled with desperation and yearning. Molly doesn't want to be that girl who moves on with her ex's friend, and he doesn't want to make a move on his best friend's ex - even if that jerkwad never deserved a girl like Molly. When things start to move in a positive direction, they would often slip backwards - mainly due to misunderstandings and the way Smith had treated Molly in the past. Both of them have other personal issues that they have to deal with but, through it all, it's so obvious that these two belonged together.

"Be with me. Love with me. Jesus, fight with me. Fight for me. Nothing else matters."

Such a gorgeous, sexy story! Adored it! <3
