Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect comes an expanded edition of The Enemy—a laugh-out-loud romance about rekindling old flames, with a never-before-seen chapter.
Enemies should never get a second chance. But this one might.
It’s been twelve years since June Broaden has seen her high school enemy (and secret crush), Ryan Henderson. That’s a long time to hold a grudge over some petty feud, but the sharp memory of him dangling a kiss at graduation, then pulling away at the last second, has fueled many angry fantasies since. Now it’s her chance to get even.
Ryan, along with most of her high school class, is back in town for her best friend’s wedding, and June is eager to show the former bully exactly what he’s missed out on. A lot has changed since their teenage days; June is now the Southern queen of gourmet donuts, not to mention one of the most desired bachelorettes in her small town.
What’s she’s not expecting, though, is for Ryan to show up looking like Adonis and touting his own career success as the youngest chef to ever win three Michelin stars. How dare he try to one-up her revenge plot? Luckily, June never backs down from a challenge.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
Really good
Disappointing
Tried this after reading two of her later books and was blow away at how unenjoyable it is. The characters are terrible people - he keeps letting himself into her house uninvited with a key he had no permission to use. She acts like a 12 year old brat. Her best friend decides she’s moving cross-country and selling her half of their business (apparently RIGHT after her wedding & honeymoon) without telling her until a couple of weeks out! Every plot point was so contrived and forced. It reads like a kid wrote a book about being a grown up.
When in Rome is a great read. It’s hard to believe these were written by the same author.
