Honestly captivating. I didn’t love the ending feud—it’s quite annoying when the heroine tries to be honest and the hero refuses it…just to hear the same words from someone else (typically someone male) and realize his mistake. How about believing the girl you supposedly love instead of playing through this charade?! 

Beyond that, it was a great deal of fun! Sophie was so headstrong and brave and I loved her refusals to back down for proprieties sake. And Sesily was phenomenal. I love seeing her prior to Bombshell. She’s magnificent.

After re-reading: OMG this held up so well if not even better upon re-reading. The TENSION. Chef’s kiss. I enjoyed this so much and cried actual tears towards the end. So worth it. 
Original review: 5⭐️ This was pretty intense enemies to lovers, which usually I have a hard time with. BUT the chemistry between King and Sophie is amazing. The story is so good, and I absolutely loved Sophie’s character. An incredible read.

If the latter half of this book had continued to be as exciting as the first, this might have been one of my all time favorites. The banter between Sophie and King is top notch, she's not afraid to do her own thing and/or give him a piece of her mind in the process and the angst factor was pretty good. However, once we get to our destination at about the 70% mark or so, the rest of the story just drags and takes some really frustrating turns. Absolutely bonkers premise though, just a tedious finish.
