REVIEW

A steamy enemies-to-lovers romance as the bride’s brother and her best friend are forced to plan the wedding together. Definite chemistry. This was a so-so read for me mainly because none of the characters really won me over. Minor things about the characters bothered me which took some of the enjoyment away from the read. But if you If you like some spicy steamy scenes and a good enemies to lovers trope, then give this book a try.
