All it takes is...
One misunderstanding.
A fake date.
And friends who won’t give up.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maci Dillon is a daydreamer and true minx at heart who loves to read and write steamy romance filled with love, lust, angst, and humor. Her favorite tropes to write are second chance, forbidden romance, enemies to lovers, menage, reverse harem, hate s*x, drunken hookups, playboys, and billionaires. She also enjoys writing raunchy short stories within these tropes.

Her heroines are strong, experienced, foul-mouthed, and feisty with loads of sass and wit. Her men are deliciously hot, dominant, often arrogant, and entitled smart-a$$es. You will experience all the feels across Maci's books.

Maci is a self-confessed lover of margaritas who has recently experienced her very own second chance at true romance. You will often find her in PJ's writing and watching Netflix. She is an expert procrastinator, and complete 'pantser'. You can never be sure what's going to happen next!

    The characters were addictive, it was easy to fall in love with their story. The pages are packed with hot, sexy action. It was more than a pleasure to read. I would definitely recommend it as someone's next read. You won't be disappointed!.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I am really glad that I read the first book. However, this book would have done well as a standalone. I really enjoyed the fake boyfriend trope turning into a real boyfriend. The increasing fire between the main characters is amazing and I really enjoyed the fire and the build the characters had. I also enjoyed when they finally looked through the stress and the self-doubt in their cells and each other . Would love to read more from this author

    I love a book where you can feel the chemistry between the characters and this is one of those books. Love is not for Sean and Raven due to their own reasons. They both have busy careers and no time for such nonsense. But they never expected to find something different in each other that they never got from past flings. Something that makes them want more but don't make it easy. Well written, holds your attention, heat and so much more. Loved!!!!

    A beautifully written storyline about fighting for your own love and happiness.

    Dr Sean Mathers and Raven both have a past that scares them both.

    This storyline flows between fear to love through to fear to being unloved.

    Great humour fantastic sexual chemistry and a wonderful adventure that's starts with what seems like to best way forward.
    I enjoyed reading and I'm sure you'll enjoy also.
    Highly recommend reading.

    Raven and 'her' doctor are guarded but have needs so you ...ummm, "Scratch" my back I will scratch yours??? But then there is a business opportunity and then a secret club and well these darn things called feelings, go and get in the way. Otherwise, this wouldn't be yet another bestselling Romance from Maci Dillon. Her characters are always an open book when it comes to their physical needs but not so much with their emotional needs.

    One kiss was all it took, one freak out was all it took. The endless wondering of what did I do wrong for her to leave so fast, to why did he look at me that way in disgust. Both not knowing what the other was really thinking that night, both wanting to know what the other was thinking. Being tricked by friends to see each other again. Neither one believing in relationships and love, only carnal knowledge and then leave. These two were in love before their first real date.

    Raven and Sean’s story is one of not really wanting a relationship. In trying to not back down on what they wanted they find out that they belong together. Their story is a fun one to watch unfold.

    This is the 2nd book in this series and is Sean and Raven’s story. Raven is a sassy childcare assistant manager, and Sean is a doctor, and neither of these characters are looking for long-term relationships. When these two cross paths the chemistry between them is off the charts and undeniable, and they compliment each other perfectly. Sean has his hands full with trying to convince Raven to give them a chance. This is a well written story which has engaging and relatable characters, and with drama, witty banter, humor, and love, which leads to an entertaining and heartfelt page turner. I was completely invested throughout this story, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Frenemies to Lovers Romance that will leave you wanting more
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2021
    This is the first book from this author I have read and will be adding here other books To my to be read list.

    I love this kind of story, seeing a relationship grow out of nothing, well except explosive sex. Sean and Raven were meant for each other. Neither wants a relationship but in reality it is what they both need, or is it they just needed each other?

    I loved the banter between them and was so happy with the ending. A Fabulous read which once started I couldn't put down.

    Read this book as part of the #TBR takeover event June 2022.
    Good book with likeable characters. Frenemies to lovers is always a fun trope to read and the author did a great job of balancing the tension, romance and the spice with a few comedy touches thrown in for good measure.
