The author of this book reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to ARC read for her, I was so happy that she found me this book had all the makings of a perfect Rom Com movie complete with the stuck with your enemy in a forced proximity kind of way add to it 2 bickering families coming together in Scotland to get married and a funny bar keep named Murdo yes please!  sign me right up 💗

Rayann Wilder works with her sisters to keep her family business of planning ritzy destination events go off without a hitch her oldest sister is no-nonsense and has assigned her to make sure that all the pre-wedding events in the Scottish Highlands go according to plan.  Thing is that the couple getting married are from opposing families with a long history of animosity (think Romeo + Juliet or Hatfield and McCoy) oh and Rayann you need to go with the infuriating but sexy ex-military security chief Max Harrington he schedules everything to the second where our FMC is more go with the flow and while organized is also has a little bit of chaos in the mix... yea what could possibly go wrong?

Arriving at the picturesque location in Scotland they have separate rooms far away from each other even better but that quickly goes downhill when the plumbing in Rayann's suite creates a flood and with no other rooms available at the Inn she is stuck asking Max for a little favor, can she stay in his room?  Max ever the gentleman lets her stay with him and even though they argue their chemistry and banter is off the charts hot.

Both being competitive in nature they can't help egging each other on even ending up competing with the family for their highland games, dancing like they know all the steps and finding ways to sneak off whether it's an old library or a broom closet which surprisingly (not!) isn't all that sound proof they go from not being able to stand being in the same room with each other to not being able to keep their hands off of each other pretty quick.  

Towards the end of their time together they both begin to wonder what comes next?  Will they be able to still work together and have a relationship or is this just a wild fling during the trip of a life time?  When Max gets some news that will change a lot in his life can he convince Rayann that she is more than just a fling for him or will she run the other way?  

This story begins a bit as expected in an enemies to lovers destination work trip situation (did we know something would happen to lead them to have to be in one suite... yes!  our couple needs that push) but it's exactly what we all want and love in a romantic comedy lets face it we love the tension building between our couple that keeps us turning the pages sometimes yelling out "just kiss already."  The lead couple are quirky in all the right ways that have you rooting for them to get together and find their happily ever after. 

I really enjoyed this fun quick read and I thank the author for allowing me to get an early reader copy, can't wait to read the rest of the series and I hope that I will be considered for more ARC's from this author.
