Frenemies to lovers story with good bones, but an overabundance of plot points. Marco, former Navy SEAL and current bar owner asks model/photographer Carrie to help him plan an engagement party for their two best friends. They both have the hots for each other, but their own insecurities mask their obvious interest. When forced to work together on this project, along with many other things that happen to come up, they begin to see they may actually be perfect for one another. Too bad Carrie is leaving for Spain in two months...

I was excited for a minute (not having read the previous book in this series) when I thought Marco and Carrie would be planning a same-sex engagement party for the couple Hayden and Beck, but alas no. Also, Marco used "fuck" a bit too much. I use the f-bomb a lot so I am not usually one to complain, but I found it to be a bit unimaginative after awhile especially during the sexy times.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!
