The feud between these two families is CRAZY! The serious and not so serious pranks were unbelievable. Connor and Eve have had chemistry since high school but he married her best friend. Now, they both need something from each other.

Brilliant writing! The story line had great flow and the characters were amazing. This author has a way of writing that not only includes the main character and their story but includes the entirety of both families. I can’t wait to read the next book.
