Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan
4.0

Do Your Worst is an entertaining and sexy enemies-to-more story set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands!

The premise of this book is fun! We’ve got a seemingly strait-laced, by-the-books English archeologist hoping for career redemption and a chaotic American from a long line of curse breakers looking to capitalize on her family’s supernatural abilities. They both need to succeed, at all costs, when they are thrown together in an old Scottish castle that is notorious for scaring off everyone who has come before them trying to bring it back from ruination, but they are also both wildly attracted to each other. What could go wrong in this contemporary, paranormal romance, right!?

Rosie Danan brought her addictive writing style to the table again and laced this book with great banter, compulsive push and pull, and heat that burned *so* hot! The way I bit my bottom lip and smirked when prim and proper Clark showed Riley what he likes behind closed doors — it’s why I love Rosie’s books! There is also some depth that I wasn’t really expecting but appreciated because it adds to that transition from enemies to more and the personal growth they’re both working towards.

My biggest qualm with this book is the point of view from which it’s told. I am just not a major fan of a 3rd person POV, especially in romance. I did enjoy the dual POVs, though!

Overall, Do Your Worst is really enjoyable — the perfect book for romance readers to pick up and escape into as the dark and cold begins seeping into our days too early now.
