Melrose is an actress, or at least she wants to be. With a few gigs under her belt, she has been groomed all her life for that one big break. Sutter is as blue collar as they come, but has a successful enough business to take care of himself and maybe one day his teenage brother too.
When Melrose’s best friend has to bail on his subletroommate Sutter to go on tour, Melrose agrees to take it over. What she doesn’t agree to is the arrogant and rude treatment from the man who she’ll have to room with. The attraction is there and the enemies to Lovers theme is high drama for this story.
The audiobook and the ebook were both enjoyable to listen to and to read. The revenge and get-even mentality to these two main characters was fun to see play out. The book also had some very serious elements in the struggle with alcoholism and the realness of growing up under the care of an violent, alcoholic parent.
This book was a pretty great read and was written well. I could identify with the characters and what they were going through. I especially loved the spin on the extended epilogue. It put a smile on my face.
The audiobook was actually more enjoyable than I expected. Although the narrator performed both the Male and female POVs, it was somewhat easy to distinguish between them and stayed engaged in the story. I do think it would have been better if the male POV was portrayed by a male voice.
