Violet and Eli were rivals in high school and spent all of their time trying to one-up each other. Ten years later, they find themselves both back in their home town and working at together at an event venue. Their rivalry continues at work, and the stakes are higher than ever with a $20,000 bonus on the line. Each wants to win and will do whatever it takes. They can’t stand each other but the attraction is there, so they decide to enter into a dangerous agreement—enemies with benefits. But the trouble is, beneath all the name calling and teasing, they’re not as irritated by each other as they used to be. 

This book has been sitting on my Kindle for a while, and I’m glad I finally got to it! The banter between Eli and Violet was hilarious and I really enjoyed the work place rivalry. Each character was so well written and I loved the dual point of view as we really got in each of their heads! Their chemistry was so good and they worked out so well together because they were similar in a lot of ways. I also really enjoyed Eli’s family and their characters were a great addition. Apparently this is a series with each book featuring a different brother. After reading this one I’ll definitely have to pick up the rest!
