Review
3 stars
The second book in the Enemies Trilogy, this one really brings the heart to the enemies-to-lovers story of Harrison and Regan, and I loved watching their story develop.
Beware this review will be a little spoilery for the first book in the series – Beautiful Enemy.
In Beautiful Enemy, we watched Reagan and Harrison snark their way through a month of forced proximity, with the two enemies enduring a blistering attraction that ended in one hot encounter before Reagan ran.
And now, we get the pleasure of watching a lovesick Harrison hunt down and win over the woman he can’t get out of his mind, and I was here for it! I wasn’t really feeling the love story in the first book, it was more chemistry and lusty attraction than romance, and it felt like a bit of a mess. But the potential was definitely there for more, and in this book, that’s exactly what we get – more.
Harrison is a driven man who is used to getting what he wants. Up until this point it’s been business, but now, it’s Reagan, and he’s holding nothing back from her anymore.
“You came into my club, my house, my island, and turned them upside down.”
Harrison’s pursuit of Reagan is absolutely gorgeous. He makes it clear that he is there for her, he makes her his priority, and he is opening himself up in a way he never has before. Reagan has held Harrison at a distance up until now, but when he shows up in LA set on claiming her heart, she is powerless to resist. It’s not instant, and the build-up brings this great sense of anticipation, and it’s sweet, romantic, and sizzlingly sexy, as Reagan’s own walls come tumbling down when she finally starts to let Harrison in.
“I understand why you don’t let people in. I can’t promise to make up for all of them, Raegan. But I’ll fucking die trying.”
Everything changes as they commit to an actual relationship, and I loved seeing them all ‘coupley’ and becoming a part of each other’s lives, especially when Harrison’s protective side comes out! They are both dedicated to their careers, but they are by each other’s side through it all – Harrison supporting Reagan in her bid to win a prestigious DJ gig, and Reagan is a big part of Harrison’s new project as he works to build a huge, new club in LA. At the same time, Harrison continues his plans to buy the Ibiza club to honor the memory of his parents, and he’s still searching for answers to his family’s past.
But there are still secrets there, and the dramas of the past haven’t let go just yet. The ending comes with a bit of a surprise, and I’m really keen to see how it’s all going to end up. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the release of Beautiful Ruin in August.
3 stars.
