My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Robbie Hawthorne is desperate to save his family home, but the only person who can help is Toby Tilman — a grumpy, rough‑edged guy he can’t stand. Their mutual dislike simmers until a forced road trip and a shared bed push them into dangerously close territory. As sparks replace sniping, they realise they might have more in common than they ever expected. And when Toby ends up needing Robbie just as much as Robbie needs him, their hate‑to‑heat dynamic becomes something far more complicated.
I enjoyed this enemies‑to‑lovers romance that definitely delivers on the sparks — Robbie and Toby have chemistry from the moment they collide, and their banter crackles with tension. The road trip, the forced proximity, and the slow shift from irritation to attraction all hit the right notes. That said, the constant sniping between them sometimes drags the story down. What starts as fun, sharp‑edged banter eventually becomes repetitive enough to dull the momentum. When the plot leans too heavily on their bickering, it loses some of the charm that their chemistry initially promised. Still, once the walls finally crack and the heat takes over, their connection shines. A story with great potential and strong sparks — just occasionally weighed down by too much back‑and‑forth. This was an MM story with mature content.
