I'm just a girl in love with literature. My love affair with romance novels started with I was 13 and has flourished into an obsession. I've always been a writer. Even when I was a little girl, I always had a pen and a notebook poised to let something out. You Make Me Better is my first project that will be published and I am STOKED. My goal is to write stories surrounding positive black love, with a little humor tossed in.

On Sight was freakin' hilarious! It was such a fun holiday story! I laughed so much while I was reading this book. Zenaida and Rook couldn't stand each other but, their chemistry was off the chain. These two took enemies to lovers to a completely different level. Man, On Sight was so good. Read it! You will not be disappointed.

if you want a fun, little short about two people who hate each other's guts so much they can't even be in the same room without arguing, read on sight. it's a short focused on christmas and how zenaida and rook basically hate each other since birth, but while delivering food to rook because her mom asked her, they get into a little creative situation *wink*

i'm reading the sequel asap because i need more from them!!! rook and zenaida are SO HOTTTT this short is steamy and they're so funny together you can feel how they would be a perfect couple if only they stopped arguing lmao but the arguing part is hilarious too.

Short, funny, and sexy

I am thoroughly convinced that this author is an expert on writing shorts/novellas. The author is able to give us a believable story in few words. This particular short was funny and sexy. Talk about enemies to lovers Zenaida and Rook had a history of strong dislike to each other. I cracked up at each incident of their dislike. This was an enjoyable read. Looking forward to reading more about these two.

Love and Happiness

All the fighting between Zenaida and Rook were love vibes for sure. I tried to picture myself fighting a guy and came up blank. It is evident that all those years, it was all about love for them. What other reason would they need to continue the facade for so long- if it wasn't pure attraction? Anyway, I think you will enjoy this quick read for the holidays.

We Argue We Fight And We Fuss And We *uck And We Mugging Each Other I Eat It I Lick It I Treat It I Don't Wanna Leave It Defeated

Zenaida and Rook really have a crazy fight and hate each other relationship. They've been archenemies with each other almost all their lives and fight like cats and dogs. Rook list the most important person in his life and Zenaida gave him comfort in more ways than one that deserved a repeat performance.

Fun Christmas read

Synopsis: Childhood neighbors Zenaida and Rook have hated each other all their lives and they have years of childish fights to prove it. Now they have both suffered a loss and have to find a way to be around each other for Christmas.

I have never read an AshleyNicole book I haven’t enjoyed and this was no different. Zenaida and Rook are so childish its hilarious, their fights were so funny. I mean they went out of their way to torture each other over the years. He was throwing eggs through her window and she was swinging on him with bats I mean dang its a wonder they didnt kill each other when they were kids 🤣🤣. But when they called a truce for the day it was on then and all that hatred turned into that sexy mature thang they both needed. This was a quick and fun Christmas read. Ashley left me wanting more of Rook and Zenaida, I can just see them bickering and play fighting into a marriage and a baby!

This was good...

Rook and Zenaida never liked each other, I mean they were sworn enemies. Rook and Zenaida were neighbors and was always around each other, but because they didn't like each other, they were always doing some to each other, they could have killed each other for real. When Rook grandfather passed, Zenaida was forced to take him food, but what happens next shocked them, but it was bound to happen. This book was so damn funny and I couldn't get enough of their antics towards each other. I'm glad they finally realized they belong together. I have to get into book 2!!! Great read...

Fun Christmas Story!

This was such a fun holiday story!!! Even with the backdrop of the death of a loved one, the antics of Zenaida and Rook were so funny and a joy to read. All that passionate fighting, I'm surprised she made it past her 20s without being face down, cheeks up with Rook!😂 They were hilarious! In my mind I see them next Christmas still bickering and fussing, but with a ring and a baby between them.😁 Wonderful Holiday Read! 5 Stars!!!!

Totally crazy

This story was HILARIOUS. Ashley Nicole being the writing genius that she is has penned yet another good tale. Zenaida and Rook were not frenemies they were flat out enemies and they gave that new meaning. I laughed so much at the things they did to each other over the years. I totally recommend this story.

Really???

That was much too short. I needed an epilogue or something. WTH was that? After putting up with all of Zenaida’s childishness, which by the way, irked my soul, I would have thought that we would have been given a decent ending. With such an abrupt ending, 3 ⭐️ is the most I could do.

3 chapters.. really?

I would not recommend this book (let alone pay for it) for 3 chapters. It’s a great story.. well written but not worth the money because it’s so short. This could have been one book 📚 with the one she is releasing in February. You could at least gave us 5-10 chapters.

None stop jokes

The only thing I dislike about this book was how short it is. This story is hilarious! The flashbacks, the banter and the love for someone now gone kept me turning the pages.

Whew Chile

They were def going at it for years!! That level of bickering had to have stemmed from somewhere. We never got the reasoning! She probably dissed him! Haha I loved it though

Frenemies

Ashley is a great author that knows how to capture readers. These two frenemies knew that there was a spark that needed to be put out. I truly enjoyed this story and would love to see a Valentine’s Day update.

Short but sassy

I really enjoyed this. Rook and Zenaida were a trip. Think Love and Basketball on steroids - Monica and Quincy never got this bad. This was witty and cute, but still steamy in the end.

Hi-la-rious!

I'm so glad I one-clicked! This short was everything and lacked nothing. I was really laughing out loud.

On Sight🥊

This book was a quick yet hilarious read. It was a perfect teaser for Rook and Naida. They've been enemies all their life but a rather strange turn of events left them in unknown territories. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Great read

Great read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Rook and Zenaida were enemies since childhood. Their physical fights are dangerous. It may be a love hate relationship.

Definitely too short

Rook and Zeniada are true enemies. They definitely takes it to the net level! However, Rook is able to be generous at the right time! Great short AshleyNicole!
