Intoxicated

by Skye Moon

When Nixon laid eyes on Dylan, it was lust at first sight. For her, it was hate.

Though mortal enemies from their initial encounter, there’s no denying the blurred line of hatred and temptation. When an impulsive solicitation for a wicked night puts Dylan and Nixon in an unorthodox situation they’re left with no choice but to trust and lean on each other.

As they stumble along the path life chose for them, the two discover the chaotic, devastatingly beautiful fall-out of unchecked intoxication .

4.5/5⭐️3/5🥵
- This friend group is quickly making its way to the top! I just love everyone's banter and the dynamics between everyone.

- Ms.Dylan had me from the first book I knew her story would be GREAT! This book did not disappoint. She was still every bit of entertaining and assertive but we got to understand why. My girl is the oldest sister and it shows lol real bad. Nixon was the perfect balance for my girl Dyl even with the playful banter. Nixon also shoulders a-lot and has lots of layers to him. Seeing them move from a place of total resistance to a ready made family was tew good.

- I will be the first to admit I don't like the pregnancy trope but maybe I do... new year new me?? It's really the way they handled it like they were so mature about everything and didn't force a life together because they created life together lol. Nixon of course had me cackling the whole book but when he was serious he was serious and I really enjoyed myself happy I saved this for the new year.

- Definitely recommend!! Had me a timeee all the feels.

Intoxicated

I really enjoyed this slow burn. Nixon and Dylan were cute together and I loved their banter. They both needed each other and balanced the other out making them better. They both had so much in common and I enjoyed witnessing the journey of them letting their guards down and developing a relationship. I look forward to getting more from this crew.

Even though Skye said she wasn't going to do a book of Dly and Nixon, I was soo happy she did! This book was the best enemies to lover's trope I've read in a while. Honestly, in my opinion I didn't get slow burn vibes even though it was labeled as one.

Dly and Nixon was made for sure each other and the fact that it took her to be with child for them to see it; makes it even better. lol I love how supportive the friend group was just how they were in the first book. Also, Corey seriously needs some help because he was lowkey irking me. But after the big blow up, I totally understood why he was pissed. I don't have children, but I understood why he was mad at his baby mama on what she pulled. Also, Dly's parents were trash af! That mama made me want to come through the book and slap the living days out of her. I was happy Dly finally said the stuff she needed to say off her chest along with her sister who eyes opened up. Poppy (Dly's grandfather) was her TRUE and only parent she could depend on. Nixon's family was a trip, I saw myself in Roy a lot when it comes to these dudes and dating (would love a story on her lol) Nixon's mom was a lot as well, I understand wanting the best for your kids but damn. And the nerve to call her husband what she called him was heartbreaking even though I understood her a little bit. Overall, this was a great story once again and I know I read the author's note but PLEASE SKYE one more book!

4.5⭐️s As soon as Nix & Dylan laid eyes on each other in book 1, I was anticipating their story. They stayed fronting like they hated each other, very enemies to lovers-ish 😌 I really liked how they got to their HEA. Just wish some things were slowed down so that we the readers could appreciate their evolving feelings. Also I’m a stickler for detail, so more of that could have made the story better for me. Like not knowing how old Nixs little brother was was irking me lol character descriptions are important to me.

Enemies to Lovers Romance 🥰

Enemies to Lovers Romance. I really enjoyed this read. I love the village presented with this series. The support is amazing. Now on to Dyl and Nixon. I found beauty in the hard exterior that Dyl presented because she only needed a safe place for her softness to land. That safe place was Nixon🥰 I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I hope the rest of these are released soon 😉

Love it!

Dylan and Nixon had such an interesting dynamic from the moment that they were mentioned in Compulsive. I knew that they wouldn’t be able to stay away from each other even though they gave each other hell lol

I just love this whole series/universe. I can’t wait for book 3. I’m hoping that we get a story for Darien and Corey/Zuri. Zuri and Corey just make sense to me so I’m hoping that their friendship turns into more than just friends.

Listen this series gets better and better . Skye manages to create relatable characters that you feel like you know personally. Dylan and Nixon have a love/hate vibe that ends up with a short night! When that short night has repercussions that neither expect, the opportunity to work through their feelings takes you a ride that you don’t want to end!!

[Lynn Lewis · Rating 4 out of 5]

So glad these two didn't continue to try to antagonize each other once they decided to see if they could actually get along. And for Nixon, it was a done deal. Both had family issues and trauma to resolve.
There are ongoing things within the friend group that I'm sure we'll see unfold in future books in this series

[Porscha Sims · Rating 5 out of 5]

hilarious and fun

These two made me smile so much while reading. The friend dynamic was carried over from book one and I loved it. The relatability of the characters and how they become a couple was so fun to watch. I wish Zuri had a book so I can get more of them and see where everyone ends up. It was a great book and I can’t wait to read another Skye Moon book.

Enjoyable

This was one of the cutest stories. Yes, Dyl Pickles got on my nerves at times. The parents were trash. The siblings and the respective friends pure love. I enjoyed reading it. I am not sure who is up next but Zuri is on my radar.

Happy Read8ng‼️

Nixon

I really don’t know what else to say! He was a real man through this whole story. He truly loved Dylan and was patient as she caught up. I loved he was willing to ask for help and/or guidance through it all. Congrats to Dylan for finding a real man!

A must read

Loved the story. These two were made for each other. Dylan was crazy as hell and so was Nixon. I'm looking forward for book 3! Lets see who's next. 😍

An unorthodox fairytale

I needed this. It’s like you wrote a story geared specifically for me, with healing, reassurance and a happily ever after.

[Audrey Cotton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute!

I liked it. I enjoy this friend group, but I'm excited for the next book. I need to see what's up with Zuri and Corey. I think Darien is messing with Rory or Rachel, but probably Rory. Please release the next boom soon.

Would recommend.
