Chloe Beckett works for Worldly magazine as a feature writer. Her boss Rachel Rothenberg thinks of Chloe as her protégée. Nick Meryton is the founder and editor-in-chief of Worldly Magazine but he looks to Rachel for the day to day running of the magazine.
Chloe wrote a scathing exposé of Nick at her previous job at a gossip magazine. Face to face with Nick, Chloe speaks her mind to Nick, calling him out on his bs. Underneath it all Chloe has an attraction to Nick as he does to her. They hide their interest in their bickering. Late one night Chloe and Nick get stuck between floors in the elevator. Chloe has panic attack and faints. Nick talks tenderly to her helping her anxiety come down. Their time alone leads to even more tension between the couple. At Meryton Gala Chloe ends up caught between Nick and his brother. Being flippant she mentions an engagement and Nick jumps on it. He sees it as a way to solve issues for them both. Underneath his words he sees it as a way to get closer to Chloe. Can they keep their hearts out of this business arrangement?
Enemy Fiance Billionaire is an easy, enjoyable read. The bickering between Nick and Chloe made me laugh quite a few times. Nick was great at playing an arrogant @ss but L.A. Pepper has written him so we get glimpses of the real Nick. He’s a man in search of “home” and everything “home” encompasses. Quite often Chloe’s zingers hurt his feelings although he would never show it. Chloe is a smart driven woman. She works hard to be the best writer and has no problem standing toe to toe with Nick to share her ideas. I recommend this excellent romance.
Enemy Fiance Billionaire’s title pretty much says it all. This is an entertaining enemy to lovers romance with a few interesting twists and turns. Nick Meryton is Chloe Beckett’s boss at least in name. Chloe’s real boss is Rachel Rothenberg. Nick may own the magazine but Rachel is the heart and soul behind the scenes. Chloe is disgusted with Nick’s lay back playboy behavior. Nick finds Chloe’s stick in the mud attitude way too frustrating. Yet as things progress they will be forced to let go of their deference’s and work together to fool everyone with their fake engagement. Will their fake arrangement work or will their different points of view get in the way of their HEA? This is a book worth reading so read and enjoy.

Chloe Beckett is relatively new at Wordly Magazine, where it’s all about world travel and luxury. Chloe wants to start a regular section called Home and focus on domestic locations. Her boss Rachel is on her side however, Nick Meryton is the Boss! Chloe has not minced any nice words about Nick and his celebrity status and in walks Nick while Chloe is going on about him. The papers call him the next big prize of the billionaires. Rachel keeps telling him he needs to tone things down but he listens to no one.
After an incident in a stuck elevator where the sparks were flying, Nick ignores her until at a gala where his brother shows interest in her. Nick sees red and goes to talk with Chloe and acts like they are together. Out of all of it comes the idea to pretend to be engaged, which should help Chloe get what she wants and also to help Nick’s reputation.
Feelings are not supposed to be a part of the agreement but can they both stick to that? Will they both get what they want?

Chole has landed her dream job except her boss is the one and only Nick Meryton, infamous playboy she wrote an expose on. The next thing Chloe knows is she is in a fake engagement with him.
While the story was short, it was written so that I didn’t feel like I missed anything – all the emotions that one have when in their situation were there. A great book as always from LA.
* AUDIOBOOK REVIEW *
I liked the story, it had love and challenges and progresses nicely to a happy ending. It’s a basic story with no big surprises so I don’t sing praise for it but it was entertaining.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Good dialogues
The characters is well written and developed in to different personalities
Narrator
Sadly I found this lacking, pronunciation is not always perfect but she read with feelings. I miss a male voice and since this narrator doesn’t do a male voice it’s hard to distinguish from the male and female characters.
My disappointment in the narrator could be part of why the story in itself didn’t reach the top.
4 stars
AudiobookObsessionReviewer
I would recommend this story to those who like to see how the relationship comes together. I found the characters interesting and the story seemed over too quickly (which is better than dragging out too long).
I listened to the Audible version. Natalie May did well with the narration. Dual narrators would have helped set the character’s voices apart more for the dual points of view.

Chloe and Nick are enemies after she writes an article supposedly exposing him and his ways. She has no idea what damage she has done to his social life. During a small spat over her with his brother, they arrange a fake engagement. It’s up to them to decide what their future holds. A story worth reading just for the ending.

Enemy Fiance Billionaire
By: L.A. Pepper
Narrated by: Natalie May @ HotGhost Productions
This is great enemies turn lovers romance is well written and well told. I enjoyed L.A. Pepper’s writing style and her way with words, she created interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are complex and well developed, they were likable and easy to relate to. Chloe moved from her small town to live in the city she loves her new job working for a Travel Magazine, it features world travel and she tries to convince her boss, Rachel, to add a section featuring domestic travel hotspots. But Rachel says the owner/boss, Nick, wants to keep it international, Chloe had some choice words about Nick, only to find him standing right behind her. They exchange a few more words before he moves on. When she leaves for the day she winds up getting stuck with him in an elevator, she starts to see he is not as much of a jerk as she thought. At Rachel’s insistence Chloe attends the company’s charity gala and she catches Nick’s eye, he does not like who she is talking to and heads her way. She has not spoken to him since the incident in the elevator so she is a bit surprised when he comes over and acts like they were together even going as far as saying they were engaged. I loved how everything plays out in this book, it is well plotted and holds a lot of story for a novella sized book. There is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, some humor and heartfelt moments all leading to a wonderful romance. L.A. Pepper, thank you for this great and entertaining story.
I listened to the Audition edition, narrated by Natalie May for HotGhost Productions. She does a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. She is easy to listen to, her pronunciation is clear and concise. I do wish she varied the voices for each character a bit more, giving each their own unique voice makes it easier to follow them and the story. Other then that she was a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen
They started off as enemies but there was an undeniable attraction. Problem was he was her boss and she thought he hated her because of an article she wrote about him. He was mad she was working for him but there was something open and honest about her.
This is a marvellous contemporary romance about two people who start of as enemies. The characters are charming and flawed making them personable and relatable. They have a lot of barriers to overcome both internal and external, causing emotional drama for both of them. It is an enjoyable book that left me smiling and feeling good. It is a great read.
Perfect group of books. An easy read that just takes you out of your daily life and immerses you into a world of love, laughter and hunky men.
