REVIEW
I really enjoyed this book! It was so fun and sexy.
Poppy and Leo have known each other since they were teens. Poppy was engaged to Chase, Leo’s best friend, but that relationship ended and he then started dating her best friend. Now they are getting married and Poppy, who is a wedding planner, is not only planning the wedding but is also the maid if honor. Leo, is the best man so they get to see each other often.
I loved the banter between Poppy and Leo! They think they hate each other, but we know better. They have so much chemistry together and you can feel the sexual tension at every turn. I think they’ve actually liked each other all along but they don’t want to accept that.
This book was so much fun! It had some hilarious scenes that had me laughing so hard! Leo and Poppy are perfect for each other and I was rooting for them all along!
If you like rom-coms or a good enemies to lovers story, then this book is for you. This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last.

Excerpt:
I sneak
closer to the bed, my heart pounding as I throw the pillow at him. The guy
shifts in his sleep, and his breathing slows, but a beat later the snoring
starts again and I have to resist the urge to scream. Instead, I raise my poker
and jab the sheet covered body. It’s not hard, just a quick jab or two, but he
still doesn’t stir.
“Hey,
asshole!” I shout, and whack him hard in the butt with my poker.
The giant
freak jumps up and seizes my hand. His grip forces me to drop my weapon. He
yanks me toward him—on top of him—and this is how I find myself eye to eye with
the beast. He breathes his heavy, stinking breath on my face, and I wince and
wrinkle my nose.
Leo’s eyes
crinkle in the corners as he laughs. “Morning, Pop Tart.”
“Get the hell
out of my bed. And brush your goddamn teeth. What are you doing in my house,
Nass?”
“Ah, still
feisty, huh? Is this like an all-day thing with you, or do you eventually turn
from an angry sea witch into a person? Would coffee help?”
“Fuck you,
Leo.”
“Darlin’, you
wish.”
“You’re
disgusting. I wouldn’t touch you if—”
“Yeah, yeah,
if I were the last man on Earth. I’ve heard it all before, sweet cheeks, and I
don’t buy it for a second.” He flips us so suddenly my head spins. I’m beneath
him, my wrists pinioned to the bed above my head by just one of his strong
hands. The other glides up my side. My sheets have twisted up around us, but
from this angle it looks as if Leo Nass is very much naked in my bed.
“Goddamn it,”
I complain once I find my voice. “I’m going to need to burn these sheets after
you leave.”
His eyebrow
quirks, and the grin he gives me is all-out salacious. He shifts his weight
between my legs, then he drops his hips and grinds his erection against me. I’m
stunned, speechless. I have no words. They’ve all left me because my brain has
turned to mush and my vagina is the only one thinking, and I’m really not okay
leaving her in charge. “Why burn them when we’re not done messing them up?”
