About this listen

A new, sexy standalone from number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland.

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.

Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.

Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.

Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.

Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.

For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.

Until the day the woman who started the feud died - and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.

Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.

As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.

Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good. We were fire and ice.

But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

Enemies to lovers in the best possible way. Weston Lockwood and Sophia Sterling have known each other nearly all their lives, and most of that time they’ve hated each other with a passion. You know one thing for sure, there’s a fine line between love and hate, and this story is living proof of that. The family feud has been going on since their grandfathers (who were once the best of friends,) fell in love with the same woman, Grace Copeland. After their feud they all parted ways, yet when Grace died she leaves them both equal shares in the hotel she owned, The Countess. When Weston and Sophia are sent by their grandfathers to manage the hotel, things get a little heated, and their hatred for each other comes out in their attraction to each other. A predictable story, wonderfully written with two equally broken, yet loveable, compassionate and very sexy main characters. Totally addictive. Narration couldn’t have been better, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York were made for the roles of Weston and Sophia.

Not all smiles and roses, but I’m hopeful

This took me a while to read as I had several books on the go but finally gave it a read. Was not disappointed.
Writing and descriptions are brilliant and of course sebastian York is the best. And let's not forget Andi Arndt.

Totally awesome read

The Rivals is a really excellent audio book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought both narrators were absolutely perfect, and really added depth to the characters.

This story at first appears to be a classic enemies-to-lovers novel, but actually it's Weston and Sophia's families that are the enemies. From the outset, Weston and Sophia have spark, an instant connection and a lot of heat. They have history together, and also some personal baggage to overcome, but as the story continues we begin to feel their connection develop into something more deep and meaningful.

This novel is upbeat, high on verbal sparring, full of chemistry and is an excellent, engaging, entertaining and enjoyable story.

This is a complete standalone story told in dual pov.
