Reese Hunter, often dubbed the “nice” one among his best friends, has given up on ever finding his happily ever after. After several failed attempts at love, he’s decided to focus his energy on the business of VIP—and having multiple sex partners. Having been a successful trainer for years, at only twenty-six, he’s forced to take the reins and become the boss. Almost two years later, he still … expects Harriet the Hun, the tyrant partner from hell, to arrive and set his ideal world ablaze. But the normally even-tempered, fun-loving man has changed. And when Harriet finally arrives, she is met with a very hostile environment. Harriet “Harry” Wellington has been berating men for years while she’s climbed the rungs of the business ladder. At forty, this British billionaire and single mother has decided to personally check in on the one company in which she can’t seem to control the men. When she faces the gorgeous and very elusive Reese, she has met her match. The rift between them runs deep—until she almost drowns and he saves her life. This single deed turns their rivalry into a friendship that becomes physical, leaving both baffled and in denial. As tensions begin to lessen and their war of wills bends toward passion, what began as adversarial quickly evolves into something much more than they ever bargained for.

༻• Guaranteed great read! •༺
This is the third book in the War & Piece series about the three guys involved in VIP Fitness, and the Island resort that has been their playground. Kai and Jasper have fallen by the wayside into love, leaving Reese, the one who wanted love most of all, to step up as manager.
Harriet is the fourth and silent partner of VIP Fitness, and her ball-breaking attitude meant that Reese fair quaked in his boots and made himself scarce during the video conferencing calls, until as the last man standing, he has to step up and deal with her.
I can’t even begin to do justice to the witty writing and hilarious moments that Cory Cyr put her characters through. It’s not all golden moments because like all people, they have their moments of vulnerability and self-doubt. Life knocks everyone around. It’s how you get back up that counts. Reece might not have been my favourite of the characters, but his book is definitely up there as one of my favourites.
I highly recommend this book, hell, all of Cory’s books for readers who love wit, sharp humour and challenging relationships. 5 Stars and time so well spent with these characters.
This book I looked forward too since Reese was introduced in book 1. I kept thinking who would he end up with. And it came as a surprise that it would be Harriet the silent member of VIP, but then when I thought about it, it makes for the best match up. These 2 go in hard at each other from the get go and its not the good kind. At least not yet, but they develop something. They each have been let down on their hopes for a family and love, but rediscover that passion with each other. I absolutely loved this book and hated it too LOL. Cory gave me like 3 anxiety attacks in this novel with all the twists and turns, it rivals Bite and Release.Bite & Release You should read that book and series as well. The ending comes with a few surprises I enjoyed 🙂 I hope this is not the end and that we get more.
I love the universe Cory has created 🙂 Be sure to read book 1 and book 2 as well:
Kai: Book 1 The War & Piece Chronicles
Jasper: Book 2 War & Piece Chronicles
*Possible Spoilers Below*
I hope that Harper gets a love story maybe with Jasper’s sister Rumour. And maybe get an appearance of Reese’s twin and find his own love of maybe a menage.
I love every single book in this series but Reese, Reese, Reese!!! I was really pulling for him because he got shot down previously and seemed like he lost all hope in living his white picket fence dream!!!
Enter “Harry” Harriot.
That’s when things get steamy!!!
What will happen between Harry and Reese? You have to read to find out but I really love the tension that builds between these two characters! If you’re anything like me and enjoy Cory’s humor, you’ll be laughing throughout the book!
Enjoy!!! Xoxo
