About this listen

Brent Mason and Hayden Winstead can't stand each other. She plans exclusive parties for her rich family's charities; he's a rough-and-tumble cop who rigs explosives for a living. Could two people be any less suited for conversation? They think not and prefer to keep it that way.

Unfortunately, their two best friends are deeply, disgustingly in love. Forced together, the mutual attraction simmering beneath the surface of Brent and Hayden's non-relationship grows with every argument until it explodes into a scintillating night of mind-blowing sex. And it won't be the last, as far as Brent is concerned.

Hayden has a secret, though. Her father's company is relying on a merger to save them from financial ruin, and only Hayden's marriage to the CEO's wealthy son can secure the deal. If she's to protect her family, she'll have to forget about Brent - and he has no intention of being forgotten.

I've not read that much by tessa yet but this is one of my favourites. there's actually a really well developed plot which I don't always find there is due to them being very character focused, but this one was great. I think I like tessas enemies to lovers tropes the best.

Good plot

Beginning was promising, although I found it progressively less and less appealing…
Although I usually enjoy Tessa Bailey’s work, I found this to be subpar to her usual work.
Ok story, plot is not the best but ok. Writing style paints a clear picture and flows well, although the narration didn’t do it any favours.
All in all, well written but story is dull
