I’m going to start with a positive. Her books always make me smile. I usually enjoy the characters and I love a good enemies to lovers story.
However, this story had more holes than a block of Swiss cheese.
So the H/h grew up together. They are both 1/2 of a set of twins whose parents are best friends. They have antagonized one another from the start. They each dated the others twin. As teens, (the boys are 3 years older), there was a horrible tragedy. During a big storm and a big fight, all four are struck by lightning and only 2 survive. They blame each other and the hate is on. Except they move away to the same town and are protective of each other, as one does with people they hate.
Of course you have the inevitable hook up. But these two have some seriously over involved parents who think it’s funny that they hooked up. It was a bit weird. Then there’s the “haunting” and the ax murderer and a side trip to a haunted house, the ex wife, and a couple of other WTF things that felt just thrown in.
I spent a lot of time with my eyebrows drawn together. I sometimes wonder if this author has a dart board she spins with random you can’t possibly put this in a book scenarios that she utilized to see what she can get away with. I remain entertained, although this is not one of her best.
