PUBLISHER’S SYNOPSIS
Daisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn’t lessened their mutual loathing. So when she agrees to manoeuvre him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it’s not going to be easy. She just doesn’t realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way.
Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved—the one who doesn’t actually exist. Now they’re trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phoney embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like.
Or so they’re telling themselves.
But sometimes it’s hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more…
REVIEW
Oh Charlotte Stein. You truly know how to write a will they/won’t they romance scene, and your spicy scenes are *chefs kiss*. I couldn’t put my Kindle down for a moment while reading this. Even when I had to I was wondering what Daisy and Caleb were up to. Enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite trope and I LOVED the execution on this one. Caleb made Daisy feel more comfortable with who she was and how she was, and she provided him the path that would allow himself the permission to enjoy life. I also loved how absolutely FERAL he was for her. I love Charlotte Stein’s contemporary romances and I trulybhope she continues to write them and grow as an author. ❤️
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced ebook copy in exchange for a fair and honest review!
