Midnight

by Kayla Parent, Laura Apgar (Editor)

There’s no better place than New York City on New Year’s Eve.

At least for everyone else. Nina Abbott has never been a fan of the city, but she’s willing to put that aside for a chance to win back her perfect ex. When she learns he’s still going on the week-long holiday trip they planned with their friends while they were together, she jumps at the opportunity to rekindle their flame. But when her ex shows up at the train station with another girl, Nina is absolutely devastated. In a state of panic, she makes a wild and reckless decision that will change her life forever...

Theo Armstrong is shocked when Nina boldly declares that they’re dating. Who would ever believe a ridiculous lie like that? Since he’s a heartthrob, star hockey player and she’s a headstrong ballerina, they’ve spent the last few years absolutely hating each other. But he agrees to go along with her plan, hoping it’ll give him some good karma for the trip. Because Theo’s got a secret—he’s visiting New York City for a heartbreaking reason he’s not yet ready to face. And though Nina is Theo’s sworn enemy, she just might be the person he needs in his corner.

Everyone knows there’s a thin line between love and hate. And when midnight rolls around, Nina and Theo could be feeling something that may not be very fake at all.

Cutest new years story

I won this ebook in a goodreads giveaway. I read this book in less than a day. A little cliched but I didn't care because i loved all the references and I loved each character! Definitely recommend for an easy fun read.

Charming enemies to lovers romance, but the various lying dropped it to a 3-star for me.

I won this in a Goodreads Giveaway and am grateful to the author and publisher for the chance to read this.

For anyone who hasn't been to New York City to celebrate New Year's Eve, this book is for you! It beautifully incorporates the magic of NYC during this time of year, and I really felt like I was hanging out with the group of friends and visiting one sight after another with them. In addition to painting a clear picture of the characters' adventures, the characters themselves were multi-faceted. I enjoyed the love story of one couple, the tension turned passion of another, and the drama of the third (I won't tell you which is which!) This book kept me on my toes wondering when certain things would come to light, and overall it was an enjoyable ride. If you're looking for a fun seasonal read, definitely give Midnight a try!
