LOUISA’S 4 BLUSH REVIEW
The classic enemies to lovers story is always one of my favorites. Penelope Ward has the ability to give is even more than just what’s expected.
Troy, the best friend. ex-high school boyfriend is the grandson of a resident where Aspyn works. She has harbored a lot of hatred for Troy and now has to supervise Troy and his grandfather’s outings from the nursing home. Aspyn surely notices that Troy is still gorgeous but her anger for him can override her feelings of lust…for a time!
Troy is repentant for his high school behavior and as these two get to know each other better, Aspyn finds that Troy isn’t so bad after all!
Watching these two fall for each other and the twist that could keep them apart is what kept me reading UP ALL NIGHT! Penelope Ward has given us 2 more characters to fall in love with and cheer for their HEA!
BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano.
Number one: He’s obnoxious.
Number two: He and I were enemies over a decade ago in high school.
Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend.
I could go on and on, really.
When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents—the grandson turns out to be Troy. He’s now as successful as he is undeniably handsome.
Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice.
The only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face in between our many arguments.
Eventually, though, we slowly warm to each other and our outings become something I actually look forward to.
What’s happening to me?
Apparently, I misunderstood the assignment, because it certainly didn’t include thinking about Troy when I close my eyes at night, imagining what it would be like with him—just once. All the while hating myself for fantasizing about a guy who’s all wrong for me. A guy whose car I keyed back in the day. (Long story, but he deserved it.)
That’s all this is—a fantasy.
Well, until that one night at the bar.
The night Troy and I run into each other, and all of our pent-up frustration comes barreling out.
Still, I refuse to accept that it means anything.
There’s no way the guy I’m supposed to hate is also the one I can’t live without.
