Publisher : Montlake (March 9, 2021).So fans of an enemies to lovers romance will definitely want to read this if they can get past a douche of an ex-boyfriend. However, a great standalone with my favorite trope. The romance is steamy but not as steamy as I am use to by this author. She will help him but he won’t call of the shots. Maddie decides to not let Chase run all over her like he did before. He is amazed at how strong and feisty she is. Maddie is definitely not the same timid woman that Chase dated before. I enjoyed reading about them fight tooth and nail not to fall in love with one another.
Chase and Maddie seem to go at it every chance they get. He is kinder, gentler and while his reasons for treating Maddie like crap in their previous relationship is silly, I got why the author went this route. He has issues and after meeting the Black family, it is understandable. There’s a lot more to Chase than the cold exterior he presents. I couldn’t figure out how the author would make readers like him but she warmed me over by the end. She is hurt and I have to admit I was hurt too. He starts off cutting her down verbally and blatantly states he doesn’t want to be with her. He is immediately dismissive towards the heroine. I know from past reads that this author knows how to do a jerk hole but she has reached new levels with Chase Black. He is such a jerk but then it wouldn’t be this good enemy to lovers romance that I so enjoy if he is a nice guy. I mean she is so kind they call her Martyr Maddie. Maddie is so sweet and kind that of course she goes along with his plans. He hasn’t explained to his family that they broke up and he needs Maddie to pretend to be his fiancé for a weekend. At least, Maddie thinks she is but Chase is asking for a huge favor. So, when he shows up months after their break-up, Maddie is prepared to deal with him. Maddie has convinced herself that she has moved on from her jerk of an ex-boyfriend, Chase Black.
