Basic Business

Love 101 #11

by Melissa Williams

An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy

Aurora
Art is my life. Artist, designer, illustrator—I’m the whole colorful package. And thanks to a commissioned watercolor portrait gone viral, my small business is booming! What I don’t have under control are my finances. My books are a mess and I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. Signing up for a business finance night class sounds like the perfect way to learn the basics.

Then walks in Ryker Sulko. My childhood best friend turned mortal enemy. This can’t be happening.

Ryker
It’s basic business. She’s what I want and I’m willing to pay any price to call her mine. After years of imagining how I’d make things right with her, I never thought Aurora would come skipping into my class—a flurry of color and light. She may hate my guts, but this is my second chance and I’m going to make it count. Plus, like any good businessman, I have contingencies in place in case she tries to go off book.

If you like over-the-top, insta-love childhood enemies-to-lovers romance with a lot of laughs, this short romance is the perfect story for you.

"After four years of no communication, I’m thrilled that she at least feels something for me. Even if it’s all-consuming rage and hate. I can work with that."

I thought this was a pretty good read especially considering that I wouldn't really qualify it as a student/teacher romance or even one that's really in an academic setting which is what I expect from this series.

This is a story of longtime friends who had a falling out, Ryker was trying to protect Rory, but never got the chance to explain himself. They unexpectedly meet up again when Ryker is going to teach a night school business course that Rory is taking to better manage her business. Rory immediately drops the class, before he even takes it over, so really no student/teacher stuff for me.

Ryker loves Rory and devises a plan to get her to spend time with him. Enter the fake relationship trope!

It was a sweet read and I usually had a 2nd chance and friends to lovers romance but Melissa Williams did a really nice job with this.

[Standalone, also part of the Love 101 romance series book collection wrote by different Authors]

This book follows Aurora and how she finds love.. I enjoyed this book and i liked getting to know more about Aurora and Ryker's past..

Aurora is sweet, smart, kind, Owns her own business, likes being an Artist, designer, illustrator and working with watercolors, Strong Character, she has been hurt in the past by her best friend but still misses him, she likes to help anyone that needs help..

Ryker is sweet, kind, smart, caring, owns his own business, Always there for anyone that needs help, strong, has a big heart, he loves his best friend but he hurt her so he is trying to make it up to her..

I liked reading how they became friends because they are so sweet together and then you also get to see what happened to them to break that friendship and Aurora started to hate Ryker but also miss him at the same time.. That is how they became enemies to lovers

This book is packed full of:
⦁ Awesome characters
⦁ Steamy
⦁ Over 18+ Readers
⦁ Fast Read
⦁ Action packed
⦁ Enemies to Lovers

I really liked the friendship between Aurora and Ryker because it was so sweet.. I also liked seeing them getting closer as the story goes along because it was amazing to see her happy now because she has her best friend back but also the guy she loves..

Ok read for me.

This was an ok read. It says enemies to lovers but I never thought of it like that. The h, Rory, pretty much got over her anger from the get go. She and the H have known each other for years seeing as he is best friends with her brother. She's also loved him just as long. She thinks he betrayed her when she was 19(It's 5 years later). He's around 30 I think. She needs to take a business course to help her art business. It blew up on social media and needs help to deal with the money that's coming in. Her night class gets a new teacher half way through the course and it happens to be the H, Ryker. She drops the course and he talks her into being his fake fiancé to seal a business deal, so he helps her with her online class and moves her into his house. Good story but very little steam. There was a little angst towards the end but that was it. No talk of past relationships. Also no epilogue. I didn't like that. So all in all it was just an ok read for me. This is of course my own opinion and I focused on things others might not.

Very Much Enjoyed

I really enjoyed this story. It is a short hot/sweet read. The books in this series that I've read so far have been fun so now I'm looking back at some of the first ones to see what kind of trouble I can get into with some new to me authors plus looking at the catalog of this author.
Thank you for sharing your world with me😺

loved it

I loved this super cute story especially the way they bumped back into each other. I do wonder how he knew she was taking a college course. Was it her brother who told him? Also will her sister get a story?
