If a Pride and Prejudice/Bridget Jones’s Diary mash-up but with more sex, sexual tension, and sexy sex, sounds good to you, you’ve come to the right place!It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a dead-end job, shoebox studio apartment, and zany, intensely loyal friends, must be in want of a man.But in my wildest dreams, I never expected that man to remember me … man to remember me selling overpriced KoolAid in my Rainbow Brite underpants when I was six years old. Life is unpredictable.
Fraser Drake was the least sexy boy when we were growing up: all elbows and knees and khaki pleats and debate club. But right now, in my mother’s kitchen, he’s never looked hotter, more irresistible. Granted, he’s looking down on me as I expertly dance the sock hop scene from Grease. But behind those layers of haughty indifference, I detect the hint of lust.
He is everything I never knew I wanted. Since I met him, my feet haven’t touched the ground and my smile hasn’t left my face. His laugh is like a well-aged scotch, and I have a feeling I could get drunk on it.
*This is a STANDALONE romantic comedy, with a hell of a lot of heart, and a lot of heat. Complete with some loud LOLs and an even better HEA!

So I noticed this author on Facebook, and after having her comment a bunch on my posts, I thought, I’d better read a book of hers soon! So I bought this one last year and read a bit at a time over the month of December. I did enjoy it, as it had a lot of funny moments in it. But then there were things in it that I had issues with. Some things went kind of fast, like saying they were dating seemed really quick. And then there was a point that he did not explain something, or even say he would explain later, and that made no sense to me. There were also some political types of comments that totally made sense when I know what the author has commented on my own posts on Facebook, but they are things that turned me off a bit. Overall it was a good story, and had funny parts and steamy parts and was a good read. Others won’t have the same political issues I had, as I seem to be in the minority for that topic. But I personally don’t care to bring politics into my fun reads in that way, so it got it marked down for me a bit.
I love this author’s books. I love her writing style. The way her characters interact with the reader. There are so many laugh out loud moments. Fraser Drake is the friend of Emma’s brother. He’s English, uptight in her opinion. But seeing him again for the first time in a long time, she can’t ignore how gorgeous he is. Although, still, very uptight. She’s the opposite. Kind of crazy, funny, tends to just blurt out whatever pops into her head. You’d think them together would be a recipe for disaster.
But then Fraser’s past comes out to mess with them. Her boss is telling her one thing about Fraser and he’s being all proper English and stoic, and won’t give her the full story. It looks bad for him, but is it really? Loved this book. I loved the characters and the humour was brilliant.
A sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance that will make you come undone!
I’m OBSESSED with Poppy Dunne’s books! And my love for her stories have only grown stronger (if that’s even possible) after reading Come Again!
I’m not a huge fan of British accents, but all I kept thinking while reading this book was “I HOPE IT RELEASES IN AUDIO!!!” cause, DAYUM….I need to hear Fraser Drake’s voice with my own ears!
And Emma…..OMG, I’m still laughing over her quirky and feisty personality! She mixes with Fraser like oil and water, which only makes their interactions together that much more memorable. Stick-up-his-you-know-where Fraser and kooky-to-her-core Emma are one of the most unique and diverse couples I’ve ever read. Their relationship together quickly transforms from hate to one of complete fascination. How two people who appear to be complete opposites seem to blend and compliment each other so well is a true testament to superb writing skills and an immensely remarkable imagination.
This unique tale of love, hurt, and change is the perfect twist on the classic love/hate relationship. The dynamic between Fraser and Emma radiates originality and heat, while maintaining a lovable and carefree romance that will leave you in a swoony pile of emotions.
My favorite Poppy Dunne book, hands down!!!
