Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy.
It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he.
The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard.
I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare.
The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if he’s filling me with passion or poison. Every fleeting touch is perfect torture. With every stolen kiss, my walls crumble a little more. After all this time, Lucas knows exactly how to strip me of my defenses, but I’m in no hurry to surrender.
Knowing thy enemy has never felt so good.
I have quickly become a fan of R.S. Grey and with the way
this book made me laugh, I’m curious to know what she will come up with
next. This is a friends-to-lovers story
that will leave you laughing and loving both main characters. Their back and forth banter will make you
want to keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next.
Daisy and Lucas grew up together from practically
birth. They were competitive in every
way and fought like cats and dogs. As
they grew up and went their separate ways, neither of them expected to find the
other one back in their hometown.
Daisy has come home after being gone for 11 years. She has been offered a family practice
position with the local doctor and is looking forward to a quiet life. Upon seeing her old friend, Madeleine, who
happens to be Lucas’s sister, she finds out he’s back in town, too, but she has
no idea why.
Lucas is back home to run the local doctor’s office but has
no idea he will be sharing the position with his enemy, or is she his
enemy? It seems Lucas has been hiding
his feelings from Daisy in hopes that she will see him as something other than
his rival.
As Daisy and Lucas begin working together, their antics
continue and slowly they become friends, which lead to a sweet and sexy love
story. Lucas definitely has his work cut
out for him in trying to break down Daisy’s walls and that’s where I became a
little frustrated with her. I wanted to
shake her and make her see he had deeper feelings for her. Other than her not seeing anything past their
rivalry sooner, this is a good book with a lot of laughs, a great
friends-to-lovers romance, and sexy scenes, I recommend this 4.5 star book!
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
