I love a good enemies to lovers. This had all the tension and build up I enjoy. 

There were a few times this felt like The Hating Game on steroids like
when we find out Asher has had a thing for her for a long time, and that his hatred was part of his long term game

 I was looking forward to this book so much after seeing the brief glimpse of Asher and Billie in the previous book. Their enemy arc was something I was looking forward to watching develop, and they didn’t disappoint.

Their chemistry literally sizzled as they roasted each other constantly, each a match for the other. I loved that just when you thought one of them had the upper edge, things changed, and the other turned the tables.

I also loved the dynamics of the other people around them. Billie’s twin brothers Weston and Easton (from the 2 previous books) were also close friends with Asher which made things complicated with her absolute desire to hate him. They always had Billie’s back but could also see the attraction burning between them, even when Asher and Billie couldn’t see it themselves. Also, Harper, who is Billie’s business partner and best friend, could also see the developing attraction between the two enemies, so she managed things behind the scenes to help them out.

I loved the sweetness that came with the thawing between Asher and Billie at the Hamptons, the gentle domesticity balancing out the explosive, spicy scenes between them.

This has been a terrific series and is set to continue with Harper and Brody’s story coming next.

Holy Moly!! The angst and tension between Banks and Billie!!! 🥵🥵🥵

I love a sassy, independent, headstrong fmc and Billie was that!!! She takes shit from no one….. except maybe Banks.

I love how great of a friend Harper is! She is the definition of a ride or die friend! 

The tension between the two is unreal!! That the snarky remarks and comebacks between the two had me rolling my eyes, laughing, and sighing. 

There was so many times I would read a sentence and song lyrics would come to mind. Lyra, was that on purpose? I feel like it was!!

This book is enemies to lovers at its finest and an absolute must read. I’m telling you my enemies to lovers loving heart was positively thriving while reading 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙎𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. The relationship between Archer + Billie is full of tension, heat, and fun banter. I loved them and was incredibly invested in every aspect of their relationship. The 𝘉𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 series has been incredibly entertaining and I cannot wait to read the next installment. That ending had my jaw on the floor. 

“𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.”

Asher F*cking Banks. That’s it. That’s the review.

But seriously, The Boss Situation blew me away. Billie is fierce, smart, and totally badass. She refuses to be taken down by anyone, especially not her enemy number one: the gorgeous Asher Banks.

Speaking of Asher, he’s cocky, gorgeous, and determined. The kind of man you love to hate.

The chemistry between Billie and Asher is off the charts. Their banter is electric, the spice is toe curling, and every scene between them is filled with sexual tension.

Lyra never misses. This book proves it yet again. It’s hard to top Easton as my all time favorite Lyra book boyfriend, but Asher is giving him serious competition.

This is Asher and  Billie’s story. This book will definitely hold you hostage and spellbound!  I know before starting one of Lyra’s books that I won’t be able to put it down. 
 
Their banter is chef’s 💋I laughed til I cried!  Lyra writes enemies to lovers to perfection!

This book is filled with angst, top notch banter, a plot twist I didn’t see coming and a couple you will fall in love with !  
Asher is the perfect book boyfriend. 

I highly recommend this book and this series!  I can’t wait for the next book!!!
