For a slightly smut book, the romance was so heartwarming and genuine and cute and I just loved it all!! Some typos or grammar mistakes (it’s the writer in me), but I loved the way each chapter was the opposite lover’s view.

What more do you need than a enemies to lovers and fake dating trope? I love how they both dealt with each other’s anxieties and trauma without that whole “fix it” mentality. It’s refreshing and I love this author for that. It has some spicy moments—loved it.

I enjoy reading the story of Silas and Kat.

What an excellent story. Thank you, Roxie!

i went into this not sure if i'd be able to get through it, since i've never been a huge fan of the romance genre. however, i just could NOT stop reading. i am a huge lover of enemies to lovers, and fake dating is a guilty pleasure of mine. i really enjoyed kat, and the banter between her and silas was so fun to read. it was super funny and romantic, and i'm shocked in the best way that i loved it as much as i did. finished it in 2 days!! i can definitely see myself re-reading this & also reading other books by roxie in the very near future!! easiest 5 star review ever!!

Downloaded this book because it was #1 in the free books section. be warned, it is not free and costs 10 bucks. I am forced to read this now since I spent money on it and will update my rating higher if I actually ended up enjoying it. but pretty shady that it was in the free section. I know that’s not the authors fault (I think) but I feel people should be made aware.

Beautiful book and well written. Interesting insight to trauma and anxiety.

The story has huge plot holes and not even close to good, DELETE!

If I could give this book six stars I would. The characterization is fantastic, the dialogue is as crisp as a Granny Smith apple, and the plot is as natural as any romcom I’ve ever read. I loved the Loveless Brothers books, but this is better. Every bit as good as the best of Christina Lauren, Kate Clayborn, or Emily Henry. Just a gem of a book.

I have been waiting a long time for Silas to get his story and I am so so glad Roxie did. She did not disappoint. Silas and Kat get along as well as cats and dogs, which goes to say not very well. Silas always seems like the golden boy to Kat. He can do no wrong with the people in Sprucevale. He just turns on that smile and gets away with anything. However, not is all as it seems. There are demons that haunt Silas. Roxie did a great job showing what Silas went through and how it has affected him. Kat is a very big introvert and has anxiety attacks and is socially awkward. Kat has held a grudge against Silas for ten years, that stems from when they were in college. This is truly an enemies to lovers and that is one of my favorite sub genres. Every time they see each other they butt heads, but when they each need help, they end up helping each other. It’ll be a win-win for both when they pretend to be together. There are some funny parts and there are some emotional heart pulling parts. They seem like they would not be good together, but the more time they spend together, the more you can see they do belong together. They are total opposites, but in some ways they are the same. This was such a good read and I so enjoyed it.
