This book has one of my favourite tropes in Romance going for it. Enmity turning to forever kind of love. The sparks flying getting all the more intense because the feelings involved are on the extreme sides of the spectrum; be it hate or love.

Due to an incident tat happened a long time ago, Jasmine and Jake can't even bring themselves to be civil to each other and prefer their family to be around so that they are not left to each other's company.

Jasmine is the daughter of the gardener at Jake's parents' house but has always considered the Ravensdales her default / adopted family as neither her mother nor her father had any affection or time for her.

Jumping back to the present, with yet another broken engagement Jasmine does not want to face the world and Jake wants the teenaged girl who has developed a crush on him to leave him alone; these two are at the Ravensdale estate together and in a moment of revengeful inspiration, Jasmine announces their engagement.

Following the announcement, everything snowballs itself to perfection but there are still glitches here and there.

Definitely serious and complicated but nothing that a heart to heart cannot resolve.

The banter they had going between them gives one the fits.

Jack dan Jaz ini ibarat anjing dan kucing kalau bertemu, selalu bertengkar. Padahal 7 tahun yang lalu, Jaz sangat menginginkan Jack. Karena Jack sepertinya memberinya sinyal yang sama, Jaz ingin menghabiskan malam itu bersama Jack. Sayangnya Jack malah mempermalukannya di depan umum. Malam itu tidak akan pernah dilupakan oleh Jaz.
Jack sendiri sadar dirinya salah dalam memperlakukan Jaz, gadis yang jatuh cinta padanya. Tapi Jack tidak ingin terikat dengan siapapun, dan cara itulah yang terpikir olehnya untuk menyingkirkan Jaz.Namun sesungguhnya Jack tidak bisa melupakan Jaz.
Kini mereka terlibat dalam pertunangan pura-pura demi kepentingan bersama. Dan ketika mereka saling mengenal lebih jauh secara fisik, rasanya ada yang berubah.
Hero dan heroine dalam novel ini sama-sama orang yang suka denial sama dirinya masing-masing. Padahal ya sama-sama suka dari awalnya. Jaz tumbuh jadi gadis yang selalu merasa dirinya tidak diinginkan, sementara Jack tumbuh menjadi orang anti komitmen.
sayang, endingnya seperti dipaksakan segera berakhir. Bahagia tentunya.
