Hired by the Enemy by Jax Calder
4.0
funny lighthearted relaxing medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

What a fun and enjoyable read. Liam and Matthew were prank war enemies during their school years and I was laughing out loud at the innovative pranks they pulled on each other. Circumstances have them entering each other’s orbit at the age of 25 and their life long loathing for each other morphs into something completely unexpected. With undeniable chemistry sizzling between them, these two wonderful men take fake dating to a new level of blurred boundaries whilst sharing cheesy pirate jokes and falling in love. I loved the tropical paradise locale, the steam between Liam and Matthew but also how they recognised the real connection between them and how they are still have the snarkiness between as they did during the pranking years. I laughed a lot and finished this wonderful novella with a full and happy heart. The most unexpected and hilarious line for me belongs to their former grade 6 teacher Ms Beauton - I snorted!
