New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues her sexy new contemporary stand-alone series with an enemies-to-lovers office romance.Paris Trissel is in a dating rut. Despite the pact she made with her friends to find someone to share her life with, she’s throwing in the towel after only a few blind dates. Add in the fact that the new hire at the job she used to love … to love happens to be the Brady brother she can’t stand, and Paris is having a terrible year.
Prior Brady’s life seems pretty perfect from the outside. He has a wonderful, caring girlfriend, a family he’s never been closer to, and a new job he can’t wait to sink his teeth and talents into. Too bad the woman he has to work with for hours a day hates him on sight.
Once the two are forced to find the balance between chemistry and temptation, however, they’ll realize they’re stronger together than apart. Except when Paris’s past comes back with a vengeance, bringing terror, pain, and horror with it, both she and Prior will have to lean on each other.
In more ways than one.

A gut wrenching, yet heart warming and all of the feels in between, love story that will bring you to your knees and have you in tears with joy. Loved it! I volunteered an honest opinion for this book.
This series is AMAZING! I absolutely loved these characters. Their chemistry is off the chart!
Acquaintances through his brother and her friend
Co-workers
A pull that they both try to ignore
Such an amazing story of getting to know one another as friends before ever attempting to date. This group, the Brady brothers and the Pact sisters, have to overcome so much in order to find their HEA.
Ryan is a master at bringing the emotion to a story and showing us that the road to HEA isn’t always easy but it’s so worth it.
Paris, a computer programmer has had a tragic and abusive childhood. She has been on many
blind dates that just fizzle out. Prior, a computer programmer comes to work at the same place
Paris is a manager. The story takes a few turns and makes you think about how someone can
overcome a horrible childhood. Prior is a sweet, protective guy who is taken with Paris from the
first time they meet. There are a few things that are hard to grapple with once both their secrets
are revealed. I really liked Prior they way he treats everyone fairly and looks after Paris. This is
not your normal romance read. So jump in and start the journey with Paris and Prior
OMG Paris and Prior that was just an amazing story, there was so much that I loved about this story. I love these spin-offs they just take on a life of there own and sometimes I forget which spin-off is for which series, but only Ms. Ryan can make me go gaga over a spin-off and I love every minute of it.
This was a really enjoyable story. Great character dynamics, great storyline, drama, love, romance.
Another great story from Carrie Ann. I love the idea behind this series that these friends have made a pact to proactively look for love. I loved the interaction between Paris and Brady. I love that the stories are never the same and Carrie Ann gives us such wonderful characters. I can’t wait for the next one.
Prior and Paris were so adorable it wasn’t even funny. Paris’s back story was rough. I felt for prior with his story that was horrible too. I liked the whole work dynamic of the two and how they were friends through his brother and her pact. All in all I’m not sure if I like Cross or Prior more. They both were good stories and books. I guess I’ll have to wait to read the other brothers stores and pick after I have read them all.
Paris and Brady are like oil and water so it is bad enough that they have to see each other socially as his brother and her best friend are together but now they need to work together. Her plan is to limit the time she needs to spend with him but it doesn’t help when he seems to have a talent for appearing on the blind dates she is convinced to go on against her better judgment.
Brady’s life couldn’t be more different than Paris’s as he is close to his family and is involved in a relationship however when he finds out all is not as it appears a friendship develops between them. As they spend time together the chemistry between them ignites but when Paris’s past resurfaces with a vengeance it places the future they could have together in jeopardy.
Paris’s strength and resilience shines through while Brady will do whatever is necessary to keep her safe. I enjoyed watching the relationship between them unfold and it is always fun to catch up with the other characters we know and love.
Four friends made a pact to help one another find happiness. Each of them has past events that emotionally affect them every day. With one living her happiness, Paris and Prior are in the spotlight.
Paris and Prior are very different in many ways yet have a few commonalities which bring them into the same social circle. Not only do they see each other in social situations, Prior will now be working with Paris for the next few months. Working together puts them in almost adversarial positions. Yet working together has created a friendship neither one saw coming. Their friendship comes naturally and before they knew it their attraction became hard to fight. Prior is a gentleman in every sense of the word and his gentleness and caring for Paris shows just the kind of man that he is. Paris opened up her past to Prior and she what she got in return was truly priceless.
Pryor and Paris were a very fun couple to watch develop. Going from adversaries to friends to lovers was a natural journey for them. It may not have been a blind date but they did find their happiness in the end.
Another has been hit out of the park! The characters work so well together! You just want to root for them. Absolutely loved it!! Would recommend as always!!
OMG where to start. I’ve been looking forward to this book for ages.
Prior is a Brady brother and a software engineer that freelance between branches of the company he works for and start a project in a different company to change things up but when he gets there he find out Paris is his boss.
Paris is a extended friend of the Brady/Montgomery family and is part of a find a boyfriend pack with her girl friends.
OMG I loved this book and completely binged it in one day once I started it.
You can not beat Carrie Ann Ryan writes fantastic stories especially about big families which I love especially as I come from a big crazy family that’s in each other’s lives.
Narrators are amazing and just bring the story out so well.
Sweet, sexy, fun and action packed adventure filled with engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion with a enemies to so much more twist….. Really enjoyed this exciting and highly entertaining journey from beginning to end.
Awe Paris and Prior! You can’t really call them an enemy to lovers story after you get to know them. Yes, they have some issues in the beginning. But after you know the back story it makes sense. I loved their story and their chemistry. The way they came together was just perfect. Give me more!
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Carrie Ann Ryan is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.
From that moment is an enemies to lovers story with a lot of emotion thrown it. I really enjoyed Prior and Paris, they were both well rounded characters who really complemented each other. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
From That Moment was another wonderful story from Carrie Ann Ryan. This one pulled me in from the beginning and I loved the suspense and twists. Paris and Prior had an attraction they both tried to fight but it worked out perfectly!! Loving this series!!
I am loving this series not only is Carrie Ann writing more great characters but this series has a little added suspense. Which is something different for her contemporary romances.
Paris Trissel and Prior Brady went from frenemies co-workers to lovers but it was a journey to get there. Paris is unlikeable at first but when you get to know her, your heart will break. These two have to learn that compromises are the key.
“Enemies to lovers, 3 stars”
I’m struggling with calling From that Moment a enemies to lovers. It’s almost a misunderstood assumptions love story. I genuinely liked Paris and Prior. They were upfront and on the same page. Of course it had the family aspect that we’ve grown to expect from Ryan alongside some drama.
With that said I didn’t love it. It was good, but I didn’t love. Knowing that though I think most people will enjoy From that Moment. I think Prior and Paris are a couple most will like.

Overall-3/5
This is the second book in the Promise Me series. This is Prior and Paris’s book. This story was so good I loved how they bantered back and forth, that you could see their chemistry and they both denied it. However they keep getting thrown into situations that brings them together even though they aren’t trying for it to happen. It’s Paris’s turn on the pact that was made with her friends meaning she has to go on blind dates in hopes of finding her soulmate but unfortunately these dates aren’t going to well and are utterly hilarious but course more of a nightmare for her. Prior has a girlfriend Allison who is not the most pleasant woman at least in my opinion, and he’s not sure if they will make it she doesn’t want to do anything that involves his family such as get togethers, dinners, she always avoids them, making him question their relationship.
Overall, I absolutely enjoyed these characters both are strong and protective of their friends and family. They care deeply about those they love. Paris is a strong heroine and Prior is a protective hero. The story was great and flowed seamlessly and I enjoyed it so much and I cannot wait to see how the next one in the series goes. The author is wonderful at her craft as always!!
