Book 1 review:  https://elbyslibrary.blogspot.com/2025/08/kate-sweden-wrecked-by-you.html

Brynn (FMC) twin sister to FMC from book 1 is on her way to Costa Rica sounds amazing what could go wrong?  Well plenty it's a work related trip not a true vacation she is there to represent her families luxury travel company and she of course has to be paired to do a big presentation with Jerrick Thorne handsome, smug and infuriating... and worst thing of all she let her guard down with him once before and he stole an idea that lost her big and gave him a big win... not this time Jerrick.

Jerrick is out to win but he wants to win fairly struggling with the history of a life time of being under his father's thumb and wanting to make a name for himself.  He is great at what he does and knows things didn't go well the last time he was with Brynn but things will be different this time.

Both of our leads are strong, intelligent and enjoy being in charge so naturally it doesn't take long before banter and working closely together turns from sparks to full blown flames.  It was nice seeing both of them let down their walls and be real with each other.  

When drama comes to their competition will they be able to come out on top this time?  What will happen when their work vacation ends and real life comes back into play?  Do they have a chance to make it work?  

This is a truly funny enemies to lovers slow burn that will keep you turning pages and shouting at our couple to get together already since their chemistry is off the charts!  I really enjoyed that this book had dual POV and it was great seeing things happening from both of our lead characters sides.  

Loved getting to know Brynn better in this book and her sisters also made appearances throughout the book I love how close their family is.  Jerrick had a difficult relationship with his father which had you rooting for him to succeed throughout the book.  

I had the opportunity to be an ARC reader for the first in this series and hope to be able to be selected for the next in the series I love these sisters and their partners!
