I really enjoyed the concept of this book. The thought of buying a house with someone who, you don't know very well, but also finding a lot about them highly irritating, is definitely not my idea of fun. The story is written so well.

I laughed out loud on more than one occasion in this book. The more embarrassing the situation the funnier it seems to come across.

It is brilliantly romantic, funny, relatable and most of all enjoyable.

I absolutely loved this book. It hooked me and kept me turning pages until I was done. Finished it in two days! The character development was strong, and the premise was unique enough that it didn't feel like anything else I've read.

I wanted to love this story but felt like there was just something missing for me overall. It's still a cute romance story but I think it will be overshadowed by stronger books out there.

Funny, witty romance? Yes always! Finished it in one sitting! Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this title.

DNF - I’ve tried to get into the book several times but I’m not connecting with the characters or story.

This one didn't hit the mark for me.
It was a cute romance, but I really needed more from this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book! It's the perfect rom-com kind of pick me up we all so often need. It was the most adorable enemies-to-lovers I've read in a long time.

Zack is such a sweetheart, so adorable and nothing like the alpha males I've been reading about for the past 2 plus years. It was actually a wonderful break! Lucy reminds me of myself, always thinking about a million things and scared to just be. I really enjoyed their relationship and felt all warm and fuzzy by the end of this book!

3 stars!

Unfortunately this book just did not have the vibes that I wanted. It was just a run in the mill romance book and I wanted more!

I had high hopes for 'Stuck With Him' by Danielle Owen-Jones. The synopsis had me hitting the request button within a blink of an eye. A promise of hate at first sight? Living with the enemy? I was ready to eat out of the palm of Danielle's hand.

I'm disappointed to say that I struggled to get into this book from the get-go. I was annoyed by Lucy immediately, including the workaholic personality alongside the honestly shitty friends (sending out a mass email saying all the things to clients that Lucy would never actually say out loud? Asshole moves). If only some finesse had been put into these characters!

I was unable to finish this book, losing interest quite quickly. Somewhere the execution of this sweet, enemies to lovers rom-com was lost. I am still reeling from it.

This was a tough one... I really liked the idea of this book, there were some really funny parts though, I am always a sucker for a British rom com, and usually love an enemies to lovers concept, but I found Lucy so hard to like.

Two strangers, Lucy and Zack, buy a house together, but their differing personalities cause conflicts. Lucy is a workaholic who damages her relationships and is initially rude to Zack, who is more relaxed and open-minded. Despite the enemies-to-lovers setup and the concept of living with a stranger being interesting, the lack of romantic tension and miscommunication between Lucy and Zack made it difficult to enjoy the book. The main characters, particularly Lucy, were unlikable and self-centered. The only likable characters were Zack and Katie. The plot had potential, but the character's drama and unrealistic behavior made it a disappointing read.
I do see the potential for this author, thought. I think there will be better books in the future.

It was too slow for me so I struggled a lot to get into the story. The beginning of this book was too long to start with, It would just have been easer if it started right after Lucy's best friends wedding (after all the shenanigans' that happened before and at the wedding). Maybe I just didn't care about the backstory that much.

I believe the start of this book just made me lose interest about the story in the first place. So, unfortunately, I DNF'ed it. Don't get me wrong the premise sounds interesting, so maybe I'm just wrong. Lucy as a character felt really entertaining and fun at times, but she was too MUCH for me. Too workaholic, making the wrong choices and rude for no logical reason. Maybe someday I will try to read it again.

Big thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

The concept of the book was intriging when I 1st came across this book, but something along the way I didnt like it too much. Lucy had such a high standars and super workaholic that makes you re think things at life. We all know that works are alway competitive but taking a break its a necesity.

I love this book so much! Such an engaging storyline that got me hooked from the beginning till the end! A literal page turner. Highly recommend!

I was really excited to get in to this one because of the synopsis. And the cute cover was the bonus. But unfortunately it wasn’t my favorite. The fmc wasn’t my favorite either. I totally understand it being realistic but what she did was unforgivable in my eyes. There are limits to these things you can do for work at an important event like this. Anyway the relationship portion wasn’t bad, there was chemistry for sure. Overall it was a mediocre read that could’ve been better cause it had the potential. Hopefully she writes something with a better character arc cause storytelling was really good. You can check it out if you have time for it. 3/5 stars

Cute book, I really like the characters and their story arcs within this book. It is a classic rom com and perfect for if you want a book like that.

This was such a perfect romcom read with quite a slow-burn romance. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, also I quite liked how relatable and entertaining they were. Along, with that I really loved the ending!!

I liked the tension throughout the book, it had a great premise and was a fun read! I struggled while reading, but only because I didn’t feel any personal connection with the characters.
