I saw it all…from his Yule log to his jingle balls. At a holiday party, I bumped into my naked sworn enemy. Everyone in my town knows Ronan as the dashing football star. I get it. He’s hot. And he can throw a ball. Big deal. He’s been my nightmare since I was nine. Now he’s a six-foot, drop-dead gorgeous version of the menace who terrorized me.So naturally, he’s my companion to … naturally, he’s my companion to every-single-freaking Christmas event this year. I’m Mrs. Claus in the annual parade. Ronan is Santa.
Our nonstop banter should drive me insane. His cocky attitude should be a huge turn-off. But if there’s one man who can pull off seductive in a Santa suit—it’s Ronan.
Let’s just say, stockings aren’t the only thing hung at his house.
If I can make it through the week without kissing him, it’ll be a Christmas miracle.

To Love or To Hate?? That is the question
When Gigi goes back to her mother’s for the holidays after a broken engagement, she is faced with her childhood friend- turned tormentor. As if that wasn’t enough she accidentally seen him naked in all his glory.
Gigi’s hate for Ronan hasn’t worn out even thought they were both now in college and grown up. He was the star quarterback and his college and she was a med student who procrastinated on taking med exam. But to Gigi’s dismayed everything kept making their path cross at every turning point, so what to do when things don’t go your way?? well you start to embrace them some how and that’s how Gigi began to see Ronan’s good side and how much he had change. Unfortunately as the story develops things start getting a bit more heated and Gigi begins Lusting for Ronan, but Ronan is falling for her. So what happens when this 2 frenemies begin indulging on their needs??? read and find out for yourselves ……
So I personally liked this book, for so many reasons one of them being a holiday romance and how 2 frenemies can work out their differences to make things work out for the best, but on another note I felt a bit disappointed because there were quite a few un-answer questions, and the end felt a bit rushed,. kind of made me a bit frustrated. but aside from that it was pretty good and got a few good laughs from it as well.
Gigi and Ronan were neighbors for years. Gigi is dumped by her fiancee and back home. Ronan is home to rest and recover from an injury. These two begin to notice each other. Will they be able to overcome a turbulent past? A cute sexy read.

I love when characters have a history, even if its not a good one. Gigi and Ronan definitely didn’t have a good history. But that just makes this story more fun and even sexier when they get together. I loved their fun romance. Ronan and his brother together are hilarious. Great Story!!
*ARC REVIEW*
This book was a great read. I usually do not enjoy “holiday” based books, but this one was amazing. It kept me riveted until the very last page. I will certainly be recommending this book to all my friends.
This holiday themed enemies to friends to lovers story was very good. There was a lot of convincing that had to be done before the female lead would even spend time with the hero of the story. When they were kids the guy picked on the girl and made her life a living hell. So for a good amount of the book she was reluctant to be around him because she thought he was up to his old tricks. The guy grew up and changed for the better. The overall story did have some nice sex scenes but was more of a romance.

Fast forward to college and both are home for the holidays, Gigi recently broken up with by her fiancé and despite the past, there is attraction. It’s a fun enemies to lovers story filled with steamy scenes and some fun, raunchy humor.
It did take me a little bit to get into. Some of the dialogue felt a little too juvenile but I had to remember that these characters are young! I’ve always enjoyed this author’s mafia reads and wasn’t so sure how I’d like something much more lighthearted, but it turned out to be a fun, steamy holiday read.

It tender heartfelt roller coaster of emotions as the plot unveiled and journey through the challenges in their relationship. The characters were likable and the storyline was fabulous.
Ronan and Gigi are back home for the holidays. Living next door to each other and him having tormented him through high school, the last thing Gigi needs after being dumped at Christmas is him hounding her. But what started as him trying to cheer her up, turns into so much more for the two of them. Good characters and fun story.
