4.3 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
In the tropical paradise of St. Marten, two bitter rivals are about to ignite a passion that neither of them expects or wants.

Daisy Carter, a newly minted CEO, determined to save her family's business and broody Alexander 'Zan' Gillard, are paired up for the ultimate test of wills. But as they get to know each other, their initial animosity turns into a smoldering attraction. Soon they find themselves caught up in a sensual dance that pushes all their boundaries. With the bitter reality of their families' feud looming at home in Los Angeles, they must navigate the treacherous waters of desire, loyalty, and a devastating betrayal. Will their passion burn out, or will they find a way to be together despite the odds against them?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I love Survivor and Naked and Afraid (where I’d never be a contestant. No one wants to see that, just quietly). I sob through Undercover Boss, Secret Millionaire—any show where the little guy makes it. I’m a card-carrying member of the Buffalo Bills mafia. Showjumping and equestrian eventing are my crack. I hate peas and adore donkeys. I play a mean game of Scrabble (I think). I eat nothing with legs and believe wine goes with everything. We are up to foster dog number forty-two and counting. I’m an expert at finding new and inventive ways to avoid exercise (my hair hurts). I live with the Fake Gordon Ramsay in California and hail from New Zealand (head toward Antarctica and when you hit Australia, hang a left).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enemies to Lovers Perfection!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Man, I LOVE an enemies-to-lovers story and this one is just perfection!

    Zan and Daisy's connection is red hot, but so is their rivalry. There's a history between them and their families that means they should never be together but a magnetism that burns a hole in every page.

    I'm not quite sure how Hayson Manning manages to have me fanning myself one minute, tearing up the next, and rolling right into belly laughs. She just has a knack for writing totally believable characters with smoldering chemistry and an amazing cast of supporting characters.

    This book is part of a series (YAY!!) but can totally be read as stand alone. Love. Her. Books!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Rival CEO
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    Two rival CEOs of hotel chains end up finding passion when they are paired up. The characters were well written and I liked how it gave some insight to Zan. Daisy and Zan did have amazing chemistry.

    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    Daisy is sitting in the once-opulent boardroom of the Carter hotel chain with her twin sister Rose and their younger sister Poppy. The portraits of the former CEOs, including that of her father, are watching her as she tries to find a way out of their desperate financial problems.

    Their one chance to save their legacy is to win the Levi Resorts acquisition. Levi is having a four-day corporate team-building exercise and is demanding that all bidding CEOs attend or their bid will not even be considered.

    So instead of heading to Saint Martin for the gorgeous beaches to lie in the sun catching up on her reading list, she is going determined to win the bid for the Levi Resort. Not only was it their last chance to save their heritage, it was their only chance.

    If that fact wasn't stressful enough, Gillard Hotel Group would also be attending. Their family had been feuding for generations and there was always something added to the flames and this time it was Brayden accusing Poppy of stealing hotel secrets. She was determined to not only win this bid but demand a public apology for their accusations.

    So with the help of her sisters, she was packed and at LAX in no time. Now she was trudging through the powder-like sand looking for a hot shower, gin and tonic and a nap. To make everything much worst she hears a rude demand from behind her asking what she was doing there. Great, Zan Gillard, and their bungalows were next to each other.

    Alexander Gillard couldn't believe his eyes. It couldn't be a coincidence she was here. If she wasn't there stalking him he might have appreciated the view in front of him. It was his walking, talking enemy Daisy Carter. He had sweet-talked the check-in clerk and found out Daisy was attending and told her he planned on proposing and she immediately made sure they were roomed next to each other.

    Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer had never fit a situation better.

    I loved this story! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Although this book is a standalone novel, the characters are recurring throughout the series with other Praesidio members and starting at the beginning of the series will give you further background in what makes Zan...well Zan.

    This book is action-packed from word one and this forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers romance is full of angst and their family feud-led rivalry will keep you turning the pages. Low swimmers... Clovis and Clovista... I can't stop laughing!

    This book is full of betrayal and the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus couldn't be any more apt with Zan's cluelessness.

    I highly recommend this book and anything written by Hayson Manning!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Steamy, sexy, shallow
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    Disclaimers: First, I received a free copy from a giveaway. Second, I don't typically read romance.

    Overall, I enjoyed it but didn't find it to be a page turner or nail biter.

    Storyline: it's an interesting premise to feature two high powered people that are rivals for both professional and personal reasons. This gives a lot of room to surface conflict and tension, which there is plenty of (and plenty of resolution). There were only a few references to how they got into the situation, which is good if you just want to dive into the sexy tension, but not so good if you like complete stories.

    Romance: A lot of juicy, sexy scenes, but not a lot of romance. Zan, the lesser likely to fall in love, shows more affection than Daisy, the eternal optimist. Neither character expresses much appreciation for the other aside from the chemical attraction. But the attraction is undeniable and is expressed in some excellent private scenes, tantalizing and engaging without being crude.

    In my opinion, it is definitely worth reading for the steamy imagery but not for plot or characters.
