Kiss Hard by Nalini Singh

5.0

This was such a fantastic love story! I loved everything about this. Danny and Catie have known each other for years and have always had a good hearted competitive banter between them, teasing each other and always playing jokes on each other. Their families have been incredibly close ever since Catie's older sister became involved with Danny's older brother. One night when they happen to be out in the same club together, Catie comes to Danny's rescue which then sparks the need to start a "fake relationship" for a period of time. However, quickly it becomes apparent the sparks between them are anything but fake and it begins to turn into something more real. The only hitch is how close their families are and the fear of what happens when things don't work out, and Catie's examples of love from her mom and dad both have left her with huge trust issues.

I was actually nervous when I started this, because enemies to lovers can be tricky to do, but Nalini Singh hit it perfectly. I loved every aspect of this story, from the slow burn, steamy romance to all the details around Catie being a double amputee. Their banter was funny and we got to see how their relationship grows and develops. This was such a rich, wonderful, heartfelt and emotional story.
