Zack Nicholson is more than just a handsome face. He is a liar. He is a thief. He is the bane of my existence. Zack is my college ex’s best friend and we only agreed on one thing – we both hated each other.The years haven’t changed my dislike, or attraction, of my nemesis, who is now vying for the same position I’m working so hard for.I’m completely screwed.Blake Holliday is gorgeous.She is a … screwed.
Blake Holliday is gorgeous.
She is a nerd.
She is rude.
She knows how to push every one of my buttons.
Blake didn’t give me the time of day from the moment I met her – and that pissed me off.
I haven’t seen her for six years, and when she strolls into that conference room with a chip on her shoulder I want to do nothing more than knock it down. Except my desire for her is stronger than ever.
I’m completely screwed.

A Smashing 3.5 STARS
What drew me in was the book cover, but what kept me going was the well-written characters.
The one time Blake went out of her comfort zone and did something spontaneous for her boyfriend, it was publicized to the whole campus. She thought her archnemesis Zack, her boyfriend’s BFF was out to get her and she has been festering that hate for a while now. Fast forward a few years and now she is again face-to-face with them both. How will it end? Read and find out.
I love an enemies to lovers romance, and this one was well written, and lovable characters and a storyline that is sweet and flows. Blake’s character is relatable and her love for her family and the struggle to rise from the bad card she was dealt was commendable. Zach, once you get to know him is totally not what he seems. What I would have liked to see more of a longer duration of her hating him, more of them interacting with said hate than what was portrayed in the book. Also, I felt more of her history with David and why he hates her so could have added some more juice to the story. I wasn’t completely satisfied with the reasons given.
But setting all those aside, would I recommend this book? Totally! If you are a fan of this genre, then this book is completely up your ally and will thoroughly entertain you.
I absolutely love enemies to lovers. It is one of my favorite genres. And this one did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down. Loved it from beginning to end. And was so disappointed when I read The End.
I loved this book by Renee Harless! This is a classic enemies to lovers story that the author kept fresh with her characters and fast moving storyline. The back and forth between Zach and Blake was the best part of the story. They had great tension that had me reading as fast as I could to get to the end.
When Blake Holliday was in college she made a huge mistake by sending a naked selfie to her boyfriend David Fleming which all of a sudden ended up all over campus thanks to his roommate Zack Nicholson.
Now Blake is competing against Zack to market for David’s family company, Fleming Coffee.
Will the two be able to be civil to each other or will the tension heat up even more?
This was such a great book that I really enjoyed!
I thought Blake was such a great character and I was so mad at what happened to her in college but right from the beginning something seemed off to me. She was such a dedicated person and she gave up so much to take care of her dad and I was sad that she was in such a bad place financially. I really wanted her to succeed with her company.
When we meet Zack in the future he truly has no clue why Blake hates him so much and I love when they begin to talk about everything and the truth comes out. I loved everything he did for Blake and her family with trying to get her a wonderful Christmas.
I hated David from start to finish and I was so mad that he wanted Blake to fail. He was such a jerk!! I can’t believe the stiff that he was trying to do and thank goodness for his grandpa!
I knew there would be some huge twists for Zack and Blake and I loved the way everything went and the end was so good!!!
Such a great read with tons of laughs and love!
Scr*w You by Renee Harless is an enemies to lovers office romance with great banter and chemistry. Blake Holliday sent her boyfriend in college a very explicit picture of herself and it was shared with all of his fraternity. She blames his college best friend, Zach. So, imagine her surprise when they are both vying for the same project, with her ex’s company. Not exactly the position she wants to be in!
Now forced to work together, Blake wants nothing to do with Zach, yet the chemistry they share is undeniable. Was Zach truly responsible? Blake seems to think so. This leads to explosive interactions and sexual tension between Blake and Zach. I loved Zach. He was caring and sweet. Blake had a big chip on her shoulders, but I would too if that happened to me. She was strong and determined.
I enjoyed reading Scr*w You by Renee Harless. This enemies to lovers office romance with likeable characters and steamy tension. There was a lot of push and pull between them that kept me engaged.

Scr*w You by Renee Harless is a standalone. It’s funny and fast-paced. It’s a story about holding on to grudges and finding a way to let go of the past.
Blake is witty, strong and independent. She never quits and has a strong competitive streak.
Zack is confident and charming. He knows what he wants and goes after it.
Blake and Zack meet in college but it’s not love at first sight, more like hate at first glance. Blake dates his best friend and he does whatever he can to get under her skin. At the end of senior year, her life is rocked by a scandal. It’s clear to her that Zack’s prints are all over it. Years later her hate for him hasn’t wavered but now her new marketing company hangs in the balance. It’ll be a challenge to work alongside Zack but, to land this account, she’ll do whatever it takes. Ignoring the pull Zack has on her body might be the hardest task yet.
Being able to see the story from both Blake and Zack’s perspectives added a lot of insight into the story. The characters chemistry feels real, the story flows well and the pacing is great. Each glance ignited sparks beneath their skin. A brush of the lips has them begging for more. A dangerous game to play while trying to keep things professional and a past they have yet to smooth over. Can they survive when one of them wins the account? A fun and entertaining story worth a read.
Hate lust at its best! Hot and delicious is the only way to describe the vibe between Zack and Blake. When forced to work together years after college, Zack and Blake pick up where they left off and the hate is on. But Zack secretly wanted Blake since the day they met in college even though his best friend, David won her heart until he did her dirty. From the beginning of their working together both feel the attraction and the hate lust is sizzling. I love that Zack went for it and showed Blake what she really wanted. Plus he was there for her in the best way. Great couple! Superb mature writing from this fantastic author gives us characters that you root for and love their hate lust relationship. Just terrific! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars
This was the first Renee Harless book I’ve read and I won’t be my last.
I love a good office type romance book. It was quick read and I enjoyed every word.
4 stars!!
*arc received for my honest review*
4.5 stars
This was a very fun and highly entertaining story. I really enjoy a good enemies to lovers story and this one didn’t disappoint. It was steamy and sweet…..and really easy to read. It flowed perfectly from beginning to end.
I loved Zach, like loved him and wanted Blake to give him a chance from the beginning. When we read the prologue you knew he was innocent and you hated David from the beginning what slimy cheating bastard.huh he infuriated me and considering he was a cheating bastard and obviously a liar and not man enough to admit he was one Blake shouldn’t have believed a word from his mouth, however because of the circumstances at that time I understood her. I also understood that years later even though she claimed she hated him deep down they were always attracted to each other, everyone else saw it and hell if he was as hot as they say I can see why she gave him a chance since he seemed to have change from what she thought she knew of him. And he was sweet to her from the get go..I kind of wish that instead of just flying off the handle Blake would have listened to him, but all is well that ends well….
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.
I received Scr*w You as an ARC. This story did not disappoint, Zack and Black were hot for each other from the start. It’s just too bad she fell for his best friend first. I wish the book was longer I would have loved to see their story grow more. Thank you so much for letting me read this book.
This sexy office romance was fantastic!
Can enemies become lovers? Blake and Zach put this to the test, when they are forced to work together.
Blake and Zach are great characters. That you can’t help but love. Their love/ hate relationship will have you glued to your kindle till the very last page. Really enjoyed this story.
Such a great enemies to lovers book. They had such great chemistry and the book just flowed so good.
Misunderstanding happened while in college, and when they meet again all the old hurt she felt back then come back to her. Can she get over what she thinks she knows, will things fall into place for her? Just read this great book and find out for yourself.
I loved this story so much. I can’t get over this story it has everything a perfect book needs including a character you want to punch in the face. This book is a must read.
I loved the book. You could feel there chemistry between Zack and Blake. I do wish the prologue had a part from Zack’s point of view. I think I would have connected with him faster!
This was such a fun book to read! I loved everything about it to be honest. Zack and Blake are a great couple. Here’s the thing they knew each other in college but Blake didn’t have her eye on him then. He was the jerk’s best friend who destroyed her life. Not to ruin it, but he’s not that guy. He’s a sweet charming, sexy, smart and fantastic at his job. He is dedicated and determined. He has always had an attraction for Blake but fate had other plans. Blake is a great character as well. She didn’t let the one thing that almost costs her college education stand in her way. Sure she has the anger but she still accomplished so much. She’s up for huge promotion but big problem is that her ex is in charge of who gets it. Blake and Zack work really well together and have an amazing relationship. These two aren’t perfect though. The past and the truth needs to come out. When it does, Blake sees her ex for what he is and just makes him a bigger jerk then he was before. I liked the flow of the story. It just all tied together and they got their happy ever after. Fantastic book with fun characters!
This story intrigued me from the title. Once I started chapter one I simply could not put it down. Read this in an afternoon. Two individuals who love hate one another going after the same account in a competition. Zach and Blake have this sexual chemistry that is off the charts. The storyline is so believable with well written characters that you cannot help but love and want to scream at all the same. A great read for those who want a hot, office-type romance with a bit of competitiveness and a lot of steam.
This was a steamy enemies to lovers book. The heroine was awesome and had a backbone. Zack always loved Blake but his best friend got to her first in college and he stepped aside but they always hated each other after that and he really didn’t know why. Then something terrible happened senior year of college and it got worse. Fast forward 6 years and they see each other again and he’s still smitten.
Zack and Blake were competing for the same position being offered by said ex that she also hated. But things between her and Zack started to shift and lots of lies were clarified. Their relationship was hot and beautiful. Zack was just dreamy and helped her out with so many things. This story was short but it had so many moments that you don’t realize how short it is. Beautiful!!
