Love at First Fight by Carrie Aarons
This summer was supposed to be spent lounging on the beach, madly in love with my boyfriend.
Until he decided to move to Singapore, and break up with me an hour before his plane left.
Now I’m stuck in a Hamptons house share with six of his closest pals, including his best friend … who despises me.
Since the moment Smith Redfield laid eyes on me, he’s hated my guts. I’m serious, I think the raven-haired restaurateur gets physically sick just being in my presence. And he’s never been shy about hiding that fact.
There was the time he cackled when I landed face first in a pile of Manhattan trash bags. Or the night I tried to throw my ex-boyfriend a surprise party, and Smith had strippers crash the bash. Or maybe it was New Year's Eve, when he got in my face and called me a sheltered goody two-shoes who wouldn’t know passion if it smacked me in the lips.
He’s rooming right next door for the summer months, and I don’t think more animosity could exist than in the hallway of our vacation rental. As if I wasn’t already sporting a bruised ego and broken heart from the way his best friend left me.
But the more midnight run-ins we have, the more I can’t help but think about the way his mouth would feel against mine. With each heavy-eyed glance over the dinner table, I’m starting to wonder if the damaged alpha male doesn’t harbor more than just loathing towards me.
After all, they say hate is the closest emotion to love.
And with the way we’re skating that thin line, it’s bound to burn this whole house down.
Molly has had a serious crappy
time as of late. Her bestie talks her into continuing on with a pre-planned
summer vacation to the Hamptons that was supposed to include her very recent ex
Justin. So of course, this vacation was planned with Justin and his friends...
including Smith (who happens to be as sexy as sin and dislikes her just for
breathing). So of course, hilarity and awkwardness ensue and these two enemies
struggle not to be lovers!
In true Carrie Aarons form we get a fabulous underdog-type of
story. I love seeing the way Carrie's writing has developed over the
years. She's an author that can write in any genre and excel! I'm honestly
wishing for some romantic suspense or even some thrillers. I just know they'd
be perfection. But for now, Love at First Fight seriously ticked off all my
romance boxes... the light and fun mixed with the deep and heartbroken was
amazing. Mostly, I loved how Molly really grew some self-confidence, how she
started to see her worth. Plus, all that back-and-forth banter was amazing, and
that heat was off-the-charts!!
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
