As most of you know I am a sucker for Enemies to lovers book and this book gave me just that. But in a more of an are we really Enemies? yes we are, no we are not kinda way. 

We meet Frey in the first book in the series Words We Never Said by E.M. Lindsey. Frey is a single dad to 6 year old Rex and he works as an nurse. Rex is deaf, after complications at his birth, and he loves weddings, like really love them. This leads to some of the most hilarious bits in the book, because let me tell you Rex is like most 6 year olds stubborn as h*ll. And dad should have an husband. 
Well Frey is no better, he is stubborn and he absolutely "hates" his boss Dr Renato Agosti. The one sided prank war that Frey plays with Renato will bite him in the ass and it is funny as hell.

Renato can be seen as cold but really he is just sad and he also don't know how to create new relationships. The chemistry between Frey and Renato is electric and when it finally comes to blow I cheered them on. 

It wouldn't be an romance book if there weren't some angst and twist and turns before we get the HEA. But the way there is a fun and good read. I will definitely continue this series when the next book comes out. And I can't wait for Dallas book.

Well, this one had a way bigger emotional walloping than I was expecting! It's been a minute since E.M. Lindsey made me cry, but they got me in this one! This book was so incredibly emotionally charged, and the ups and downs were plentiful for both Frey and for Renato. Watching Renato struggle with his loneliness and his realization that he didn't like who he'd become was heart breaking, and his moments with Grady's voice at the theater just...gah! It didn't matter to me how much of an asshole he was when we got to see what a softie he was, too. Especially with Rex. I already loved Frey from the first book, so it was no surprise at all that I just grew to love him more while reading this one. Watching him struggle with his sadness, seeing what a great dad he was to his son, and learning about all of the shit he'd been through with his ex that fucked him up, I was dying inside when Renato found his burn book. All the progress he'd made in accepting that he wanted something with Renato just went up in flames. I loved his apology, though, and the florets he got for Grady were what finally dragged the tears out of my eyes! Everything about this book was just perfect, including the EXTREMELY spicy chemistry between Renato and Frey, such I would be remiss not to mention because hot damn! I definitely recommend reading this series and I eagerly await the next book!
