Love Unleashed by Elise Eliot
3.0

Parisa runs a holistic pet wellness practice and is beloved by her clients but not so beloved by Malakai, the traditional veterinarian across the way. Parisa and Malakai constantly raise each other's hackles when they aren't resource-guarding their clients like a peanut butter-filled Kong, but maybe they only fight like cats and dogs because they aren't ready to admit how they really feel, at least not to themselves.

I love it when MCs fight so much that you yell at the book, "JUST KISS ALREADY!" Especially when the side characters are so loveable and constantly ask the MCs, "Are you sure you hate each other?"

Professional rivals, enemies-to-lovers, and opposites attract come together in the super fun romcom Love Unleashed. When I tell you all that, this book had me giggling the entire time I read it! I especially like how Parisa is carving her path, not just in veterinary medicine but also through her parents' expectations. The relationship between Parisa and her sister (aka the parents' favorite) was also refreshing; because her sister supported her wholeheartedly and didn't play into the "why don't you just try harder and do what they want" perfect sister archetype. I think my favorite part was that they didn't just go from hating to loving each other; they also learned to respect each other along the way.
