Enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite trope and this book delivers all the passion, underlying tension, and swoon worthy romance this trope engenders. From the very first, Graham Everett & Anna Lane can’t stand each other. Anna’s the spoiled, demanding, entitled, only child of a successful businessman. Graham’s ambitious, hardworking, and needs Anna’s father to invest in his latest project in Brighton. But, Mr. Lane is going out of town and suggests that Anna accompany Graham to Brighton to determine whether he should invest. Though Anna doesn’t want to go, she needs to escape an entanglement with an unwanted suitor. Both she and Graham reluctantly agree and that’s when the sparks fly. In Brighton, Graham tries to show Anna all the best and most charming aspects. Though she makes things difficult at first, she soon falls under the spell of the gorgeous seaside town, Graham’s family, and Graham himself. I adored both Graham & Anna! Anna comes off as a bit spoiled at first, but I loved how she quickly warmed to Graham’s family and came to appreciate how hard Graham works to support them. Graham is definitely attracted to Anna, but her utter dislike for him makes her his worthy enemy. As he does his best to be a charming host, he soon finds himself falling for her, especially when he sees how she’s befriended his youngest, mischievous sister Tabitha. I loved all the places they visited and watching how their relationship changed as they really got to know each other. Graham’s determination to do things on his own and how hard he worked to support his mother and sisters is definitely praiseworthy, but I loved the twist at the end. I loved the dunking in the sea, fishing, chopping wood, the alphabet game, waltz, and the stair kiss. I honestly couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I also loved Graham’s family especially his little eight year old sister Tabitha. Her first meeting with Anna had me laughing out loud. Highest of recommendations! This is a must read for all Regency romance fans. I’d love to see future books with Graham’s sisters. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author and publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided. (  ) Melissas-Bookshelf | May 8, 2024 | I felt Anna was quite spoiled and petulant at first, and Graham was a bit judgmental. I enjoyed seeing Anna and Graham’s relationship change as they got to really know each other. Walker has penned some delicious stories and I would recommend her books to those who enjoy clean and wholesome historical fiction. 4.5 stars I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from Shadow Mountain through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. (  ) swissgranny | Apr 5, 2024 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The last thing Anna Lane wants to do is spend a week in Brighton with Graham Everett, who is hoping to make a financial investment with her father, but then she discovers a hidden warmth in her one-time rival in this enemies-to-lovers romance"--"The daughter of a wealthy investor and a handsome young businessman clash in this enemies-to-lovers romance from the author who brought you Lakeshire Park. 1813, Brighton, England When Anna Lane offered her heart to Alexander Lennox, she did not expect to learn he had secretly promised his suit to another. Hurt and embarrassed, Anna begs her father to take her to the seaside where she can escape the gossip of the ton and recover, but her father insists they remain in London so he can attend to some business. Feeling the sting of rejection again, Anna longs for the day when she can dictate her own future and find a companion who will love her for who she is. Born into modest circumstances, Graham's hard work and ability to spot a good investment has allowed him to provide for his mother and younger sisters. Now, with a new opportunity in his sights, Graham approaches Mr. Lane, his business partner and mentor, hoping to persuade him to travel to Brighton to close the deal. Graham must act fast or else he might lose his chance to turn his meager earnings into permanent financial stability. To Graham's relief, Mr. Lane is interested in his proposal, but he counters with one of his own. He has business elsewhere, so Anna-whom he trusts with his business affairs-will accompany Graham to Brighton, and if she gives a good report, he will invest. Both Anna and Graham hesitate. Though they have a passing acquaintance through Anna's father, the two have never truly got along. Anna feels that Graham is only interested in money, while Graham feels that Anna is stubborn and self-absorbed. The two reluctantly travel to Brighton together, and Anna is determined to find fault with every inch of the seaside town-including Graham. She is tired of feeling like a pawn beingmoved about by other people's desires. But while staying at Highcliffe House and seeing the kind and gentle way Graham treats his family, Anna wonders if there is more to her rival than she thought. But it will take more than a day at the beach for thesetwo headstrong hearts to admit that if they set aside their misconceptions about each other and be vulnerable enough to share their true selves, they might have a chance at real love.

This first person vantage point gives depth to these insightful characters as they are forced to explore their daunting relationship. Neither can believe that the other could have a heart for anyone but themselves. Crass statements, frustrating encounters and selfish endeavors soon fade to the shock of enamored feelings, flutters and sighs. With playful banter in between, our MCs go through several plot twists to hopefully find their HEA. This is definitely a story I will read again.
This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review. (
