Harkening to the witty and swoon-worthy rom-coms of Christina Lauren and Kate Clayborn, a new enemies-to-lovers romp whisking us from the stress of city life to lush Caribbean beaches.

Sasha Rubinstein is not on her game. Parenting with an absent (and objectively douchey) ex has never been easy, but, lately, the judgmental side-eye from people at school pick-up feels extra. It doesn’t help that some entitled dad—with his perfect t-shirts and perfectly punchable (yet adorable) face—keeps stealing the last after-school spots and school hoodies out from under her.

Ethan Jones is not trying to trip Sasha up… at school or otherwise. In fact, ever since they met (which she promptly forgot), he’s been hoping for the exact opposite…or at least to stop thinking about her.

When a game-changing job lands them trapped together on an exclusive private island, they resolve to stop sniping at each other and keep things professional. But with tension building between them and the permeating intoxication of island time, temptation blows in on every tropical breeze. City Life Friendship Genre Fiction Romantic Comedy Urban Contemporary Witty

Critic reviews

"Narrators Teddy Hamilton, Gilli Messer, and Eunice Wong perform this witty enemies-to-lovers romance. Sasha Rubenstein’s ex-husband prefers the Hollywood glam life, so he left Sasha and their two children in New York. After Sasha accidentally bumps into single dad Ethan Jones, he becomes her nemesis. However, a new job opportunity on a tropical island brings them together. Messer’s tone and pacing reflect Sasha’s devotion to her kids, dedication to her job, and eventual love for Ethan. Hamilton’s warm, mellow tone conveys Ethan’s charismatic confidence, while Wong’s tone of bitterness showcases Ethan’s ex’s jealousy."

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I thought it was a sweet and honest romantic comedy about love and life after divorce.

Adorable and real

Fresh is the best word I can think of to describe this book. I read A LOT of rom-coms, so this is high praise. From the three POVs (which added a little mystery too) to the realistically corny banter to the thoughtful comparison of divorced mom vs divorced dad, this book was well worth the read!

What a debut!

This story is sweet, yet predictable. Entertaining story twists, as well. A feel good read that I really enjoyed!

Engaging story line!

How can you have Teddy Hamilton narrate, and only give him a few seconds in the book???? The females didnt stand out at all!! Teddy would've made this book so much more !!
