Dnf at 45%. I always hesitate with enemies to lovers but I decided to try bc I like small town series. The pranks went too far IMO. Totally inappropriate for the workplace. Then Coop's immediate turnaround and being OK with everything made me crazy and want to slap the both of them. When the undisclosed brat and kink came out I knew I needed to be done. They're tropes that are not for me and I hate when kink isn't disclosed in the blurb, esp D/s.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 4 of 6 in the Collier Creek multi author series; you don't need to read the other books first. But you NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED to read them, OK?? Cos all these books, and I have 2 more to read, have been awesome!

Logan and Cooper have been butting heads ever since high school when Logan stole Cooper's date for prom. Logan has crushed on Coop for as long, and it's become second nature. But then Cooper was made to see, really SEE why Logan is driving him nuts, and an overheard conversation crosses the T's and dots the I's. And then?? Logan is his, but will Logan let Coop in??

What I loved the most about this, was the dawning realisation that Coop had. It sort of crept up on him, till it hit him upside the head and then he ran with it. It was like a light bulb went off in his head and once he made the connection between Logan's behaviour and Logan's feelings?? Holy Moly!!

I loved the chemistry between these two. Hawt off the page, once they make the move. Loved that Coop never realised how perfect for him Logan was, before he got his hands and mouth on him. LOVED the smexy times!!

Again, super low angst. Most of the drama is before they get together, and that which comes after is not relationship based, but job based. But loved how both their work issues were solved in one fell swoop! It does lead nicely into a new series from McIntyre, too.

I can't fault this, really I can't. I just wish I could give them all more stars!

5 full and shiny stars

ALL THE WRONG PAGES is part of the multi-author series that doesn't have to be read in order, but you may stumble upon a previous couple.

In this one, we have Logan and Cooper. Logan has had a crush on Cooper for years (read decade!) and everyone in town knows about it... except Cooper. He's too busy trying to run a shop that isn't doing too well, plus shoulders all the responsibilities he feels he has to as the eldest. Logan has been playing tricks on Coop for years, which infuriates Cooper. It doesn't stop Cooper from being attracted to Logan though, but he'll never make a move because he doesn't think it's reciprocated. When he finds out it is, nothing holds him back!

Oh, man! I did love this one. Cooper was hot as hell, with a wide streak of possessiveness and domination, which made it a delight to read. He was the perfect foil for Logan, a bit of a brat if ever there was one, but who also had a heart of gold and wanted to help everyone. Once these two go for it, location no longer makes any difference! These two work together to make it work between them, and also help with other problems too. I loved that!

I've read others in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. This one, however, is currently in the number-one spot for me. Two brilliant characters plus one great location equals a book I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Having read books 1-3 in the Collier's Creek world, I was excited to read All the Wrong Pages by Katherine McIntyre, and I'm glad I did. Cooper and Logan went to high school together and became mild enemies then, so this is a sort of enemies to lovers story, but more an insta-love on one side and enemies to lovers on the other. All that said, the tension between the two characters sizzles and pops between their attraction and Logan's snark. The development and shift in their relationship really works, and their individual histories and how they influence their behavior feel authentic. I really rooted for them to figure things out. I'm looking forward to books 5 and 6. I received an advanced copy. This is my own opinion.

3.5 stars. Liked the writing style but not the character of Logan so much, who comes across as an immature bully with his 'practical jokes' on Cooper. As one character says "You were the kid who kicked the boys you liked on the playground, weren't you." They both grew up in the same town and Logan has been hiding a big crush on Cooper from school years.

Thanks for Cooper's grandfather having an accident which broke his leg, Cooper and Logan ended up working closely together which changes the disharmonious relationship and they start seeing each other.

The side characters are great too, but some not so nice elements of human behaviour in this book, including poor Cooper being dumped by Penny at high school because she's lesbian but wanted to hide that by going out with her friend Logan instead, who keeps her sexuality secret as her beard.

As said, like Katherine's writing but felt Logan's characterisation let this down from being fully enjoyable.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.

Logan has liked Cooper since high school, but since he doesn’t see Logan’s crush, he has to needle him every chance he gets.

Cooper is fed up with Logan’s annoying ways, but the rest of his family treat Logan as one of their own. He does think he’s cute though, so when he overhears Logan telling his friend Penny about his feelings, Copper finally connects the dots and comes to the right conclusion.

Once he and Logan start seeing each other, neither of them can get enough. For Logan, all his wishes are coming true, but he worries about finances and having to leave the job he loves, working with Coop’s grandpa.

The two help each other, as Logan is also having business problems, and they both find new ventures to keep them going.

I enjoyed this book, but kink wasn’t mentioned in the description. It was fine in the book, but I would have preferred to know what to expect. Otherwise, a good story in this series.

I received this ARC for free and am providing my honest review as a thank you.

I loved Coop and Logan’s story! It was super sweet with a lot of annoyance from Logan. It was a cute read and got very steamy, which I enjoyed. Kat did an amazing job with character development and their story overall. I highly recommend this book!

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Not quite enemies-to-lovers

Two men who have spent several years as adversaries come together to help a beloved relative.
What makes this a fun story is Logan's snark and wit, Cooper's slightly grumpy façade and the secondary characters like Penny. Add in the real life problems that both are facing and the scorching chemistry, once the MCs get together, and you have a really enjoyable experience. Loved it!

Logan takes hiding his feelings and attraction to a whole new level! Our story starts off with Logan pretty much finding ways to absolutely annoy Cooper and pretty much ruin his chances of romance with anyone else. He does succeed. Logan was actually a bit annoying to me in the beginning, but you grow to understand his insecurity about how he feels about perfect Cooper. When these to literally get on the same page things get kinky hot! Like bookstore burning up the pages hot! I am honestly five staring this for the insanely hot chemistry factor between these two in the second half of the book! WHEW!

This one was a lot of fun. 

Small town bookstore clerk has huge crush on all around good guy and leather worker with a failing business. They've known each other for years and everyone knows he has a crush except the guy. When he does find out, things get spicy. 

I was surprised at the kink play in this book. I wasn't expecting it and I feel like the author had a lot of fun with it. This was the best of the Collier Creek series so far.
