Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

A short, sexy enemies-to-lovers romance. Originally a part of the GLAMOUR Anthology (and originally titled Red Hot Pursuit<\/i>), this novella is now available as an individual standalone that fits into the Fight For Me<\/i> series. Timeline-wise, it actually comes before the first book in the series, but it can honestly be read at any point, or even as a standalone.<\/p>\n

Broderick Wolfe is a hardass businessman who gets what he wants. Lillith Redd is a big-hearted attorney who is desperate to protect her loved ones. When Broderick\u2019s firm plans to move into Lillith\u2019s town and demolish the building where she was essentially raised in order to build a luxury hotel, Lillith steps up take him on.<\/p>\n

Broderick and Lillith battle it out over email as they prepare to meet in person, and their heated interactions \u2013 though infuriating \u2013 become the best part of their day.<\/p>\n

She was sharp and obviously loyal. I\u2019d never even seen her. But apparently, I didn\u2019t have to. Just sitting there and reading the fight in her words made my dick hard.
\nThere was nothing like a strong woman who knew what she wanted.
\nThe best part was I wanted it more.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But before their first meeting can take place, they run into each other in a bar and, having no idea who the other is, things get hot and steamy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do I get the feeling that, given the chance, you would swallow me whole.\u201d
\nMy mouth brushed the very corner or hers, the words a low promise where they grated from my tongue. \u201cBelieve me, baby, I might devour you, but you\u2019ll enjoy every second of it.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So when they meet for real, it adds a delicious dynamic to the story as these two enemies not only have to fight over their business deal, but they also need to contend with their insane chemistry and the sexual tension that literally jumps off the page.<\/p>\n

God, I liked this woman about just as much as I hated her.<\/i><\/p>\n

I reached out and ran my fingertip along the sharp, defined curve of her jaw, my eyes keen on the movement as I did. Her mouth dropped open just as I began to murmur deeply, \u201cMark my words\u2026I will have that building, and then I will have you.\u201d I edged every closer. \u201cOr maybe I\u2019ll have you first.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really enjoyed this read. It\u2019s quick and easy, and obviously fast-moving, but Broderick and Lillith are great characters and their story is fleshed out really well. Their attraction is palpable and the sexy time is steamy hot, and the connection between them naturally becomes something more intense than either of them ever expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid of this. It\u2019s insane that I\u2019m here. You\u2019re the last person I should fall for.\u201d
\nHis big hand cupped the side of my face. \u201cDon\u2019t you know all great love stories never should have been? That\u2019s what makes them great.\u201d
\n\u201cIs that what you think this is\u2026the start to a great love story?\u201d
\n\u201cDo you want it to be?\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But how do they reconcile their business differences with what is developing between them? And can two people with such different goals really make it work?<\/p>\n

\u201cI shouldn\u2019t fall for you.\u201d
\n\u2026\u201cYes, you should.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quick and steamy with great banter, a nice amount of heart and an epilogue that finishes of the story nicely, I really enjoyed this one.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n
