Rival Seduction by Athena Braveheart.
I gave this book 5 It was a second chance/ enemies to lovers romance.
I love this author all the books I’ve read from her so far are fantastic. This one didn’t disappoint either.
Fanny and Dorran’s love story made me laugh, cry, scream and fall in love with them. It was emotional, they had a difficult road ahead of them before they saw their HEA but they had the support of great friends and family those characters were awesome too. Their family’s struggles were really, and touched my heart deeply.
Fanny and Dorran had a hot strong chemistry right from the get go – eeeeek so was the anger floating around!
This storyline had so many layers to it. I was revited to it from beginning to end.
Just a fabulous book highly recommend it.
It’s a standalone, no cliffhangers and a beautiful epilogue

Franny
A week before graduation there was a party. I wanted to add the experience so I got dressed and went. I met Dorran. We danced and made out. I mean really made out.
Dorran
At a party met Franny. Wow. I mean wow. We danced and made out. I couldn’t believe how she made me feel. I reserved us a room and the night turned into a whole week. The only reason we left was that we had to get ready for graduation.
NOW
Dorrin and Franny meet again. Only now Dorran gets the promotion that Franny feels is hers. They have now become enemies.
Wellll….maybe not. Our only love?
A must read. A great Love story. If you loved Rival Temptation you can’t help but love Rival Seduction

Athena has done it again! Compelling characters, intrigue, snark, angst, misguided, though well-meaning, actions, redemption, loyal friends, betrayal and steamy sex. This book has it all. I fell in love with it from the start. I did not want to put it down.
When Franny and Dorran spend a steamy week together just before college graduation, to say it was intense is an understatement. So intense, Franny cannot deal with it, so she breaks things off. Now Dorran is back in her life, seemingly determined to make her life a living hell. Dorran still has feelings for Franny. He really just wants her to admit that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Between caring for her cancer fighting Mom to striving for a promotion just out of reach, Franny is working herself to death. But the management plays by old Boys Club rules. So what’s a girl to do? When company secrets go missing, who do you think they blame?
When Franny and Dorran finally give in to the fire simmering just below the surface, things explode. They ignite a firestorm that neither can nor wants to control. If you do not like steamy, beautiful, graphic sex, stop reading. It is so hot, you will be panting right along with them.
Although this book has some violence, it is not gratuitous. No cliffhangers. Only HEA assured.
This book contains steamy sex and some violence and is intended for mature, 18+ readers only.
