Synopsis
A wedding planner left at the altar. Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s managed to make other people’s dreams come true as a top-tier wedding coordinator in DC. After impressing an influential guest, she’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Tired of living in his older brother’s shadow, marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning —absolutely off-limits — ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.
If they can survive the next few weeks and nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
But even the best laid plans can go awry, and soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again…

Review
Well after reading a lot of good romantic comedies, I finally read a great romantic comedy. It is no surprise that this is an enemies to lovers romance, that is my favorite after all. The premise was typical, but also not. Two people who hate each other forced to work together. But this book adds another component in that the hate is very one-sided. Carolina hates Max, blaming him for taking his brother out of marrying her, but Max holds no ill will toward her.
I loved Max and Lina’s relationship. At first, the banter and the pranks were wonderful, and then as the hate begins to dissipate, it was sweet and kind. I can tell this is a work of fiction because the truth is Max is close to perfect. He is open, honest, and sweet. Carolina, on the other hand, was more closed off, and it was fun seeing Max open her up. This was told from both of their points of view, and I think that made it all the better.
The story was sweet and funny. And I loved it. I highly recommend it, and I will be reading many more of Mia Sosa’s books.
