When she was young, Arya Roth became best friends with her housekeeper’s son. Soon, friendship turned to young love, and when Arya dared him to kiss her, a chain reaction of disastrous events led to the boy being sent away and out of Arya’s life.
Now, two decades later, Arya is an on-the-rise publicist with her beloved father as one of her biggest clients. So when her father is sued by a former employee, Arya sets out to prove that her father is not the monster he is accused of being. The only problem is the attorney who is determined to destroy her father’s good name. Christian Miller is charming, ambitious, and devilishly good looking, and Arya has no idea he is that same boy who kissed her all those years ago.
Past and present collide as Arya falls hard for Christian. But when she finds out who he really is and about his obsession with getting revenge on her father, can she choose love over family?
- “I was an eyesore in their pristine existence. A ketchup stain on their designer outfit. A reminder that a few blocks away, there was another world, full of kids who didn’t know what speech therapy, time-shared vacation houses, or gluten-free brunches were.” While reading this you got a dual POV and also chapters that gave you flashbacks and helped you understand both the characters and their development. This was definitely a love full of tension and intense passion. When their secret relationship heats up and truths are revealed can they put their differences aside in the name of true love? I absolutely loved this book. I knew from the first snippet this author shared with us as a teaser that I would like it. But that doesn’t even begin to describe what I felt while reading Christian and Arya’s story. This was an amazingly written friends to enemies to lovers along with being a super angsty slow burn romance. It is now one of my new favorite books. I definitely recommend this and I also would love to see Riggs and Arsene’s stories. Fingers crossed we get more from this world in the future. So excited to see this is the first book in a series!!!

An amazing childhood friends to Enemies to Lovers.
Childhood friends to lovers only to be ripped apart by Arya’s ruthless father who doesn’t feel that Nicholai should even be breathing the same air that his daughter does as they are from two completely different worlds which causes a huge miscommunication between Arya and Nicholai that sadly does not get cleared up until years later.As the years go by Nicholai becomes a new man and now he goes by Christian. Opportunity comes knocking and leaves a case right in his lap to take down Arya’s father which leads him back to her, it feels like fate was working in their favor.Absolutely loved the build up between Arya and Christian the rekindling of that old flame even though she didn’t know it was him deep down her soul did recognize him.These two may of had different upbringings but were so much alike and connected with one another they were absolutely made for each other. From the moment they met, even when they were split apart they could never truly move on with other people they were always longing for each other.
