A review by thebookishnerd72
Empire State Enemies by Rosa Lucas

5.0

The way this book had me in a chokehold within the first couple of pages. Conner just got into my book-boyfriend club. He may be a notorious playboy but the romantic in me says I could change him. Lol. He is used to women flaunting themselves at him so when he comes across Lexi, who does not swoon easily at his feet, he is intrigued. Not to mention, she had the nerve to steal (for good reason) from him. Lexi is sweet, kind, and caring but will not be bossed around by Conner.
When they are forced to work together to clean up Conner’s playboy image, the tension between the two is so good. The back-and-forth banter and bickering are so hot, not to mention the spicy. It was heartbreaking to see how Conner chose to deal with his health issues and how he handled Lexi when he felt betrayed by her. I am happy to see their HEA although I would have loved for him to have grovel. I 100% recommend this book if you enjoy an enemies to lovers, billionaire romance, forced proximity, and a sassy FMC.
