War eine nette Liebesgeschichte, aber nicht ganz so tiefgründig. Einfach zum schnellen Weglesen.
Aww I loved the enemies to lovers that slowly start trusting and relying on each other. Denver was so sweet and we got to see the cutest side of him

I love those Baileys and I'm so glad there are so many of them. It's Denver's turn and boy did he surprise me. Getting to know him in the previous books he had a lot to do to turn my opinion about him around. Truly he didn't need to do too much because within the first few chapters he already worked his magic on me. There is more to him than meets the eye and once you get into his head he will win you over. I liked the banter between him and Cleo. Both of them are grieving and now they have to partner to run the business together. It's going to be very interesting ride for sure. My heart goes out to Cleo because she always felt like she didn't belong. If anyone needs the love and support of the Bailey clan it's her. I do appreciate Cleo's relationship with her stepsister. This is a book I gobbled right up which is I come to expect with this series. It's hard to put these books down and this one is no exception. I loved Grandma Dori so much. I always enjoy her scenes in the book. This is a book you shouldn't pass up, really you shouldn't pass up any of the books in this series.

Denver has been such a funny character that I couldn’t wait to get inside his head and find the woman who was going to put a stop to his playboy ways. Seems Cleo is that woman but things don’t go as smoothly as you would think. First off she hates his guts so its not so good that her late father Chip left his business Lifetime Adventures as a 50/50 share between the both of them in his will. They are about to be business partners with no way of not being around each other. What could possibly go wrong – or maybe right in certain circumstances?
Now Cleo really doesn’t come across great to begin with at all with how she acts around Denver, and a few others. She has such a chip on her shoulder with wanting to prove that she can do this on her own that she comes across as a stuck up rich girl just trying to ‘play’ boss. She didn’t have the closest relationship with her father and I think she resents the fact that he was close to Denver. Kind of shoving it in her face with both being left the business. Thing is said business is failing and they need to work together to find a way to save it or that’s it for Lifetime Adventures. Might be time to take a few adventure trips of their own to move the business in a new direction, you never know what revelations might come up to the surface with spending more time together – especially with sleeping in the same tent. That’s not the only thing coming up to the surface with chemistry bubbling away – helps when Denver doesn’t have his shirt on.
Now I may not have liked Cleo to begin with but that does change once you get inside her head a little. When she gets off her high horse and starts to act like the ‘real’ her – with a little help from Denver – you can see why he might be starting to fall. He’s not the only one. She's just a little lost, not really knowing where she truly fits in and where could feel like home. Perhaps with spending more time with Denver she can get to see that Lake Starlight could be that home – with him added on as a bonus.
Love that Dori always has to play a part with getting people together. Even when you don't see her you know she is pulling the strings somewhere with getting all her grandchildren happy and paired off. The rest of the clan pops up throughout but this time around they are not telling Denver what to do with his life but making him decide for himself. Time to grow up and take charge, you might end up liking the results. Another great read from a series I really like.

This is definitely my least favorite of the series so far and I’m super bummed!
I felt like the storyline was just too quick and there wasn’t enough for me. I needed more.

I so love this family and the stories that come from the dynamic duo of Piper Rayne.
This is Denver and Cleo's story...
When I was reading, especially when Grandma Dori was talking about Denver in his childhood, I was thinking of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon when the abominable snowman has Bugs in his grasp, stroking him and saying "I will call him George, and I will love him and pet him and squeeze him..." Denver is slow to love but when he does, whoo wee, he loves hard and Cleo loves him right back.
I had a special place in my heart for Denver, he was truly a self-centered playboy but I knew when the right person came alone it would change his world.
As with all of the Baileys stories, you get a bit of a twist and hint of mystery in the story which just makes it all the more of a phenomenal read.
I also love the fact that you get to see what the rest of the Baileys are up to, it's like a little family reunion every time you open a new story in this series. I also enjoy the lead-ups to future stories!! I can't wait to read Phoenix's story next, it's gonna be amazing, just like the other stories in this series!

THIS.SERIES.IS.EVERYTHING! With every book that I get through, I just fall in love with the Baileys even more. Next up is Denver's story and playboy he is not.
We have a bit of an enemies-to-lovers (just a little) in Demise of a Self-Centered Playboy
and I enjoyed every moment that these two spend together. I loved that these two were forced to team up together and make their business flourish.CHECK OUT THE REST OF MY REVIEW | HERE
