Top three reasons why sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea…1. She’s my fiercest rival.2. She’s also my fiery ex.3. We’re going up against each other in a stiff competition to win the hottest new client on the market.And yet, I’d like to be up against the wall in a stiff competition to get her to call out my name.Time to double down on my resistance to her tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, … tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, sexy-as-sin attitude. The same attitude I find irresistible.
That’s a big problem, because in this race to nab the client, I run into Haven in the hotel, on the beach, in the guest quarters late at night.
Hate s-e-x would be a terrible idea.
Except, it’s the complete opposite, and now we can’t keep our hands off each other.
Trouble is, I’m not so sure it’s hate I’m feeling anymore.
And that’s the biggest reason sleeping with the enemy you’re falling for is a bad idea — my job literally depends on never letting her into my heart.

The series has the correct name because with each story I read I am “Always Satisfied”!
Josh and Haven have a past, but now they are competitors and enemies. Or are they? The time he had with her were some of the best he’s ever experienced, but now that she’s the competition he can’t be with her again. Why can’t he get over her? She’s in his thoughts, and dreams. He can’t even focus on work because he’s going to have to work with her to win over an athlete. Maybe, just maybe, if he gave in to his wants/needs he can get her off his mind.
Haven used to work with Josh, he trained her, but now, she works for a competitor. As luck would have it they both are competing to win over the same athlete. She thinks of the time her and Josh spent together and can’t get it off her mind. She’s been with no one since him. Maybe, if she gives in to him just this once………
Is once ever enough, though?
I loved this enemies to lovers story! These two characters had so much personality! These two and their stubborness! Another great story by Lauren Blakely!!
Overnight Service by Lauren Blakely is Always Satisfied book #4 though a stand alone novel. Josh Summers and Haven Delilah are two sides of the same coin. Enemies. Lovers. Both in the same business. Both competing for the same clients. Both can’t seem to keep their hands, and minds, off the other. Now it seems that both are constantly around each other, and this is not a case of oil and water. Haven and Josh mix very well. The only problem? The ensuing mix is explosive. But will it be in a good way?
Of course! In Ms. Blakely firey style these characters compete and feed off each other, growing better with each other. Driven by each other and to each other. While this starts as a kind of enemies to lovers tale, their story has more layers as their pasts with each other are revealed. Josh and Haven are passionate and powerful in a way that makes them connect and thrive with each other.
Overall I very much enjoyed Overnight Service by Lauren Blakely. It was a very passionate story with characters that were vibrant and alive.
(I voluntarily reviewed an advance review copy of this book I received for free in exchange for my open and honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.)
A story full of H-O-T and steaming! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Overnight Service does not disappoint! H-O-T ! Lauren does not disappoint. This is a wonderful Enemies to Lovers Rom Com!!!
Overnight Service
By: Lauren Blakely
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder, Andi Arndt, Shane East, Erin Mallon, Dion Graham, Dan Bittner, Teddy Hamilton, Vikas Adam, Lili Valente
Series: Always Satisfied, Book 4
Enemies to lovers is always a fun listen, and Lauren Blakely again, brings it to the table! I love Josh and Haven’s story, not only because the narration is amazing, but the story is sweet and passionate, hitting all the right emotions and feelings. These two are rivals in their industry, but for a short period they had hooked up. What neither one told the other was that it meant much more to them than just sex. Now striving for the same clients and seeing each other constantly, will they be able to stay away from each other and face their feelings? Give me a Josh anytime. This man has it all. Class, looks, brains and a heart of gold. He is compassionate and so swoon worthy I could not help but love him. Haven is so independent, and I love that in a female character. I love her spunk and perseverance to make it, but I also love her vulnerability when it comes to Josh. With a cast of characters we have seen before and a few more thrown in, this listen was entertainment at it’s finest.
With full cast narration, headed by Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder, it could not have been better. It’s so fun to hear the characters in the voice we have grown accustomed. It’s a treat to listen to and always a pleasure for my ears.
Add in the hot novella, The Engagement Gift, at the end, with Finn and Lily, and it just makes it that much sweeter. This short is scorching, and Finn is so accommodating! Blakely shows her versatility with contemporary romance with added erotic scenes that melt your ears. Finn and Lily have such an amazing relationship that it’s not surprising that they are making their fantasies come true. Bringing in Jake is a great set up for his book, which I can’t wait to hear! Teddy Hamilton and Elena Wolfe bring this one to life, with a flare for the erotic. It’s a different side of Blakely you do not want to miss!

Like I’ve said before you can never go wrong with a Lauren Blakley book. Overnight Service is the next standalone in her Always Satisfied series. Overnight Servive is an enemies to lovers/ second chance about Josh and Haven that you’ll love every minute of.
I LOVE, LOVE a good enemies to Lovers story plus add in a second chance, and I’m in romance heaven! Lauren combines my two favorite troupes beautifully!
Josh and Haven are awesome together, they have fire and passion! Once Lovers, now enemies who are forced to be around each other for work purposes. Being jaded, Haven isn’t too happy about seeing Josh considering how things were left off between them. But she doesn’t know the full story, the truth of what happened. But she’s about to find out!
The banter between these two is amazing. I love it! They’re witty and funny and sexy!
I love seeing cameos of past characters as well! I love how she does that but keeps the main focus on the main characters without overshadowing their story with favorites of the past.
Dive into this spicy and sexy story and enjoy this sexy enemies to Lovers/second chance RomCom! You won’t be disappointed!
Good read…enjoyable series.
So this is more rivals than enemies and former lovers to lovers with second chance thrown in.
Josh and Haven compete in the same field and to avoid their still intense attraction to each other – they barb away at each other. Some of it was witty, some of it was just barbs and kinda mean. I enjoyed the story the most when they both let their guard down.
As with most Lauren books – previous characters come into play which is always fun to read.
“I’ll take your overnight service. No one delivers quite like you.”
You really can’t go wrong with a Lauren Blakely story. There is always wit, steamy chemistry, and a fun romp to be had.
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.
Josh and Haven are rival sports agents who had a brief thing a year ago. Now they hate each other but the attraction is still there for each other. Blakely hits it out of the park with this sexy, steamy, romance. Likable characters and great chemistry set my kindle on fire!
Gah! Yesss!! Overnight Service is a big win!! I absolutely love this book!! LOVED!! Oh my gawd! The sexual tension! I liiiivvve for the sexual tension between Josh Summers and Haven Delilah. Lauren Blakely has delivered a gem read once again.
Josh and Haven’s story is exactly what I’d hoped it’d be. Sexy, swoony, filled with delicious back and forth banter. As two tenacious rival sport agents and former lovers, I loved seeing these two battle it out for clients while at the same time masking their overwhelming feelings for one another. – I especially love it when those feelings become too much to hold in… *fans self*. Let me tell you, I am all about the “fuck it out” approach. – There was a very fine line between hate and love with these two. The chemistry between Josh and Haven is red hot. Their connection is undeniable. But what completely stole my heart was the sweet tender moments when they were truly honest with themselves and each other. Swoooon.
Lauren Blakely always writes well developed and extremely likable characters. Intelligent characters that have morals and kind hearts. I desperately want them to be real so we can be best friends. I want Josh to braid my hair. I want to paint and drink wine with Haven. I wish I could witness their fiery connection first hand. I just love these characters so much. In typical Lauren Blakely fashion, we get a cast of side characters that add something special to the story. I always enjoy seeing some old favorites and getting a glimpse of future love connections.
I’m excited for what’s to come. In the meantime I’ll be over here giddily in love with Overnight Service. If you want a fun enemies to lovers, second-chance romance with so much red hot tension, this one is for you.
Witty, fiery, heartfelt and full of amazing characters that gave me all the feels Overnight Service was a captivating read I absolutely adored.
Haven and Josh immediately drew me in with their quick-witted, wisecracking and passionate rivalry. I loved their constant battle of wills as they both pushed and pulled. I couldn’t help but fall for them as they went toe-to-toe and the tension and white hot chemistry between them poured off every page.
The secondary characters were such a fantastic addition to this story and pulled me more into the wonderful world the author created. I loved catching up with them and can’t wait for the stories yet to come.
If you love your romances full of second chances, all the feels, passion and tons of laughter Overnight Service promises to be a read that will leave you always satisfied just like the rest of this fantastic series.
I loved Josh and Haven!! Their banter was amazing; and that chemistry was off the charts!!! There were many laugh out loud and swoon-worthy moments, I loved it!
I really need to know about Vaughn and Quinn! I can’t imagine how well that’s going to over! Lol
This by far is one of my FAVORITE RIVIAL/HATE ROMANCE EVER. I absolutely devoured the HEAT and BANTER of Haven and Josh. Haven is sexy, strong, and takes no prisoners in the world of a sport agents that makes a list for everything she does in life….including how to keep her distance from a sexy bet making sport agent, Josh. If you read Lauren Blakely’s books you know she loves to bring characters we love back to us in ways in her books. You might remember Josh and Haven’s intense heated moment in Instant Gratification. Josh is the best friend of Jason aka the Modern Gentleman and in every acting through the story Josh uses his best buds advice on being a gentleman through his work and with Haven. The rivalry these two have is mind-blowing hot and intense to the point you’ll want to bicker with your own mate/spouse to see what happens. I can’t wait for more mindblowing/sexy/romantic reads from Lauren.
May the best man…or woman win…
And when it’s a competition between ex-lovers who are bitter rivals in the sports agent world, it’s bound to get down and dirty and then some…because like the old adage says, ‘there’s a thin line between love and hate’ and boy do Josh and Haven know how to push each other’s buttons, hoping to throw one another off balance and get a reaction from them that doesn’t paint the best picture for potential clients.
Hate sex has never been hotter in Lauren Blakely’s newest release, Overnight Success, and while these two share an unresolved past, their present illustrates exactly why they got together in the first place and why all of their current interactions are bound to, once again, ignite their desire for each other, forcing them to decide if what they truly feel for one another is worth putting their respective careers in second place.
Anytime Lauren Blakely gives readers her hero’s perspective, it’s also an adventure diving inside his head and witnessing him work through things, attempting to understand where he went wrong, what choices he shouldn’t/shouldn’t make and what happens when he’s thinking more about winning her than acquiring a new client. And while Josh has an arrogance to him, he also knows how worthy of an opponent Haven is and just how much she makes his body hum with approval for this sexy and snarky woman.
This once lovers then enemies and now lovers again includes Blakely’s signature banter, sizzling chemistry, and two intelligent and feisty main characters who give as good as they get, which makes Josh and Haven’s story a sexy, steamy, and humorous romcom.
4 Poison Apples
There’s something about a cocky jokester that I just can’t resist.
That must be the reason why I instantly adore Josh. He’s fun, charming, and the only thing in life he takes more seriously than his family is his job. He’s always on top of his game, which has him landing clients hand over fist. I love that he can be a little bit cocky but he doesn’t have the arrogant ego to go with it. He’s quirky, funny, and always up for a challenge, and underneath that goofy facade, he’s actually a really great guy. I find him quite intriguing.
Haven is woman, hear her roar. This lady is as tough as they come, which is a good thing considering her job is in a male-dominated field. She’s bold, sassy, and packs a whole lot of gumption in one tiny little package. She’s not afraid to say what she thinks, and she’s definitely not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. I absolutely loved her.
Putting these two together can go either one of two ways: you’ll be bombarded by witty banter, teasing jabs, and plenty of innuendos; or, their heated encounters will end in a passion so hot that it spills over into the bedroom and melts your ereader. Either way, this couple will keep you highly entertained. This is definitely a must-read book in the Lauren Blakely library.
Second chance/friends/enemies to lovers in all its goodness. Haven and Josh were so hot together. I loved this book. They hooked up a year before and because of a misunderstanding and miscommunication, they had a falling out and thus became enemies. It was so nice watching them find each other again. The chemistry and attraction was always there no matter how hard they tried to fight it. I also loved the little glimpses into Vaughn’s (I can’t wait til his story) and Ford’s lives. It was a nice little treat. Great story, Ms. Blakely has done it again and I can’t wait to read what is coming next.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Haven and Josh were lovers only a year ago. Then, something happened and now they are rivals and the banter is brutal. As Josh sees it, this hate/love relationship is something he can handle with his cocky attitude and survive going deeper into his emotions. Haven, on the other hand, uses her bristled exterior to hide the deep emotions and hurt loving and leaving Josh have created.
Funny and very entertaining, these two characters cannot help being in competition no matter what. It is their latest bet that both separates them and draws them together as they both pursue an up and coming tennis athlete to sign with one of their agencies.
Let’s just say it… the chemistry and sexual tension drives these two to an inevitable end! How they get there and how they deal with it is a gem.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
Absolutely loved this enemies to lovers storyline. Josh and Haven has a history and are competitors. Their chemistry is sizzling hot and their banter will have you hooked until the end. A must read.
Initially I did not want to read a book about Josh. I had yet to connect with his character in the bits and pieces I met him in other books. Luckily for me Lauren never fails to amaze.
The chemistry between Haven and Josh was magnetic and magnificent. The fighting for clients was a fun yet realistic aspect to their story. I also love when books present a strong, independent yet realistic woman character.
Although their story was initially one I thought I wouldn’t like, I fell in love with it in true Lauren fashion.
I received an ARC of this book and am willingly giving my honest review.
Yessss!!!! This is how you do enemies to lovers! Wow! Josh and Havens chemistry was off the charts from beginning to end and I devoured their story! It was epic and a must read for sure!
It’s so amazing how we get the other characters in these books as well! I love that they stay close but the story is always centered on its own couple
Overnight Service is Lauren Blakely’s newest masterpiece! It’s the fourth book in the Always Satisfied series, but can be read as a standalone, but why would you want to do that? This series is one of my favorite of all time! I have read (an listened to almost as many) every word Lauren has written and she keeps amazing me with her brilliance, talent and amazing characters. This is why they call her Queen LB!
Story:
Overnight Service is a lovers-to-enemies-to lovers story and I loved everything about it! Josh and Haven are sports agents. They used to work together and they had a brief fling. Now they are fierce competitors going after the biggest rising stars in the sports world. Josh is a lawyer and Haven a gold medalist, so they each bring something unique to the table. Trouble is, the more they have to see each other, the more the line between hate and need blurs. They want to clear the air and be able to fight for the same clients without wanting to kill each other. But after a showdown and a seriously hot as sin case of hate sex, the game changes. Josh can’t afford to be derailed. He has a client to win. But the more time he spends in Haven’s company and her bed, he realizes some things are more important than the job. What happens when Josh and Haven can’t ignore their feelings anymore? Is it the end of the rivalry and the beginning of their future? This story! Wow. It has all my favorite things. Humor, sexiness, foreplay, dirty talk, friendship and lust. Josh is confident, sexy and swoonworthy and I want him to braid my hair! Haven is smart, determined and sexy. I fell in love with both of them! Haven is one of my favorite heroines of Lauren’s. I loved her dedication to her job and her life. Being a woman in a male dominated field isn’t easy, but she knows how to fight and win. I loved seeing Jason and Sloane again and I love their tight friendships with Josh and Haven. I can’t wait for Special Delivery!
Overall, I loved every word. I laughed, got hot and bothered, cheered, smiled and didn’t want it to end.
Audio:
Lauren is a fantastic at casting her audiobooks. Overnight Service is another all star cast with
Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder, Andi Arndt, Shane East, Erin Mallon, Dion Graham, Dan Bittner, Teddy Hamilton, Vikas Adam, Lili Valente. Jason and Emma lead and they really stepped it up as Josh and Haven. Jason is always great, but he WAS Josh! Emma’s voice was so sexy and perfect for Haven. Dan Bittner is a new to me narrator and I loved his smooth voice. Can’t wait to hear more from him! Shane, Erin, Dion, Teddy, Vikas and Lili were all fabulous! I thought they all gave 110% and you could tell with their enthusiasm and perfection.
