⚠️Check triggers⚠️

When a contract with the largest school lunch distributor arises, Charlotte Sullivan leaps at the opportunity to win it for her family's farm. The only problem is she's not the only farm in the running for the contract. Her neighbor, and enemy, Rowan Whitlock, is also up for the contract. Ever since he broke her sister's heart, Charlotte has wanted nothing to do with him, but is forced to be around him on a trip with mutual friends. When the weather takes a turn, they're forced to shelter together until the storm is over and hate quickly turns to lust. Things were supposed to stay in the cabin once they left, but they can't stay away from one another.

This is hands down my favorite book in the series so far. I devoured this story and could not get enough of these two. Enemies to lovers meets great banter will always be a favorite of mine. I loved the tension between Charlotte and Rowan. It added to their banter and made for some explosive spicy scenes. 

I really loved how they went from enemies/rivals to being in love. I loved that we got to watch how they fell for each other and how it made them each change for the better. I was SO happy to see Charlotte tell off her wretched sister. I hated her so much. Rowan melted my heart with the ways he kept showing up for Charlotte and kept doing things to make her life easier. To be loved is to be seen, and boy does Rowan Whitlock see Charlotte and love her deeply.

Thank you to Corinne and Valentine PR for the early copy!
