Matthew and Liam were childhood enemies, tormenting each other throughout school. They've since gone their separate ways but are shocked when Liam turns up as the date Matthew hired for his company's weeklong Hawaiian retreat. Now they've got to figure out how to fool Matthew's colleagues for a week and not slip back into their antagonistic ways. But in doing so, they begin to see each other in a new light and wonder if it's possible to actually fall in love with your former arch enemy.
After finishing The Revenge Game, about Matthew's friend, Andrew, I had to go back and read Matthew and Liam's story. I thought this was a very enjoyable novella. It was fun hearing about all the ways these two tormented each other back in school, there were some truly creative pranks. And I loved how all that old animosity ultimately boiled over into fiery chemistry. As they leaned into their sexual chemistry, they began to grow closer in other ways. Making it hard to part ways at the end of the week. They were really sweet together, and I loved how it all came full circle in the last chapter - such a perfect ending!
