“Graham Everett. He wasn’t supposed to feel this way . . . this exciting.”
If I could give this book 10 stars I would! I loved Highcliffe House! Enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite trope and this book delivers all the passion, underlying tension, and swoon worthy romance this trope engenders.
From the very first, Graham Everett & Anna Lane can’t stand each other. Anna’s the spoiled, demanding, entitled, only child of a successful businessman. Graham’s ambitious, hardworking, and needs Anna’s father to invest in his latest project in Brighton. But, Mr. Lane is going out of town and suggests that Anna accompany Graham to Brighton to determine whether he should invest. Though Anna doesn’t want to go, she needs to escape an entanglement with an unwanted suitor. Both she and Graham reluctantly agree and that’s when the sparks fly. In Brighton, Graham tries to show Anna all the best and most charming aspects. Though she makes things difficult at first, she soon falls under the spell of the gorgeous seaside town, Graham’s family, and Graham himself.
I adored both Graham & Anna! Anna comes off as a bit spoiled at first, but I loved how she quickly warmed to Graham’s family and came to appreciate how hard Graham works to support them. Graham is definitely attracted to Anna, but her utter dislike for him makes her his worthy enemy. As he does his best to be a charming host, he soon finds himself falling for her, especially when he sees how she’s befriended his youngest, mischievous sister Tabitha.
I loved all the places they visited and watching how their relationship changed as they really got to know each other. Graham’s determination to do things on his own and how hard he worked to support his mother and sisters is definitely praiseworthy, but I loved the twist at the end. I loved the dunking in the sea, fishing, chopping wood, the alphabet game, waltz, and the stair kiss. I honestly couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I also loved Graham’s family especially his little eight year old sister Tabitha. Her first meeting with Anna had me laughing out loud.
Highest of recommendations! This is a must read for all Regency romance fans. I’d love to see future books with Graham’s sisters. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author and publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.
