Love You Never by Jennifer Sucevic

ARC review

I knew, I just knew when I read Hate You Always, and these characters came into that story that I would love it! I love the enemies to lovers trope and this (to me) had more spice than Hate You Always. These books are interconnected characters, but you can read as stand-alone(s).

In this book, you have Ford(I love that character name) and Carina who met when Carina was 14 and her mother married Ford's dad. Carina and her mother didn't have money, her mother was a waitress when she met Ford's dad and he did have money. But Carina's mom left Ford's dad because once she got a taste of the good life, she just wanted to be spoiled. So, Carina and Ford are no longer step-siblings but Ford's dad still took care of Carina's finances because he loved her as his own daughter and he did still love her mother even still.

Ford has always wanted Carina from day one but was told by his dad not to pursue her when he caught Carina asleep in his bed one night when they were in high school. So Ford kept his distance and Carina hated him for it. Now Ford doesn't want to keep his distance and is always there when Carina is trying to hook up with someone and Ford chases them away. Carina doesn't want to jeopardize the relationship she has with Ford's dad and tries not to fall Ford's advances. But he is always playing Truth or Dare and Carina can't help but play and they get into some very spicy situations.

Is it just frenemies with benefits for them or is someone catching feelings?

There is a lot more to the story between Carina and her mother and also with Ford's dad and Carina. Let me just say that the way Ford has a dirty, delicious mouth on him and I am here for it!
I thought it was well written, college hockey romance. If you need a cute but spicy read, I would definitely recommend this book!
