Not Business As Usual
Their collaboration starts as a way to avoid a stalker, an unusual meet-cute. There’s good character development, even with the supporting characters. There were some grammatical errors and a few sentences that didn’t make sense and Ben leaving camp couldn’t have happened that way.

This book adequately followed the lives of Adrian and Brooke as their business contacts intersected. Their initial competition changed to a comfortable business collaboration. The emotional conflict that Adrian displayed was rather juvenile and I felt he should have worked through some of his problems before turning 40. Overall, the story kept my attention and I would enjoy more from the author.

A really great read I enjoyed really enjoyed.
I really loved the dynamics of this couple, sunshine and grumpy surprisingly worked so well together
Adrian & Brooke were a force to be reckoned with even when he thought he wasn’t ready for a full on relationship due to his upbringing he couldn’t let her go.
My favourite part was seeing Adrian grow, realising his Forster parents weren’t overbearing but loving, he hadn’t felt love growing up so mistook their love but they never gave up on him.
Ben was a great character, I enjoyed that he was written throughout the story.
He became the man of her dreams once he realised he could have it all. A book of second chances, love family and commitment.

This one is a hot-damn, sexy, sensual read with a single mom and a skittish, no commitments, phobia boyfriend. He won't even let himself or her stay the night. Someone has to get up and leave after sweaty, "Oh, my God!" sex. And let me tell you, the sex is creative and well described! But, they both have commitment issues for different reasons, and that becomes the problem in their non-defined relationship.
I loved the story and the characters! There's some weird sentences or typo errors. Kathilee Riley needs to proofread her stories better. I reported many of them through the Kindle app.

Brooke is a young ambitious mom with a lot on her shoulders. Its clear she loves her son and their dynamic is one of the highlights of the novel. Adrian is broody and emotionally stunted but has a lot of love to give. Guaranteed happily ever after. Chemistry was great. Typos were littered throughout novel. Also some questionable decisions by our lovebirds but engaging and satisfying read.

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Adrian, Brooke and her son, Ben. The story keeps us turning the pages with connection, fear of relationships, deals and steam.

Not believable
Ok, what camp would let a seven year old child leave with a supposedly non family member!! The book was already going off the rails but that scenario pushed it right off the cliffs.

Solid Story
This tale kept me reading without getting bored. I’m not to much into detailed sex, but I can flip through them, and enjoy the real story. Kathilee Riley has a good imagination and a talent with penning her ideas. Thanks for a fine read.

A really great read
I really enjoyed the dynamics of this couple. Adrian & Brooke made such a strong couple; even when he thought he wasn’t ready he couldn’t let her go. The type of man only food in dreams really. A delicious book of second chances, love and family..

Adrian and Brooke
Enemies to lovers plus lots of stumbling blocks to create drama. Brooke is a business woman and devoted single mom while Adrian is a strong competitor and self absorbed.
It takes a female stalker go create the incident that throws them together. Delightful read!

Great
I didn't like Adrian much initially and thought that Brooke was totally stupid. I adored Ben and was happy when it was a happy ending.

Good as it gets
Good as it gets, what more can be said! The story full of pride, hurt, love. Which one?. The characters were perfect for the story. Well done.

Too many errors
The storyline was good but the misspelling and grammatical errors just got worse and worse as the book went on. Did not finish.

Fake ex-wife to Mr. Grumpy
Thus was a fun baby romance with a few surprises and plenty of steamy romance. I love the story and I'm sure many others will too.
