Married To My Enemy was an entertaining mix of best friend’s brother, accidental marriage and enemies to lovers romance. Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas as Cate and Luca find in this story. I enjoyed the witty banter and push and pull between them. Though complete opposites sparks flew between them as they slowly began to complement one another. I kept rooting for them even when it felt like they took two strides forward only to take three steps backward in their relationship. Married To My Enemy was an enjoyable, fun, flirty and steamy afternoon read.
This book has made it as one of my favorites by Vivian Wood. It’s impossible to not be wrapped up immediately in this series. Once the story begins to unfold, it’s fast and keeps your wanting to know more.
This is an intense, gripping and enthralling love story, with a lot of twists and turns that you can’t begin to imagine. It’s full of unconditional love based on a past shared experience, one that has broken their hearts and souls but that themselves can mend, and subsequently heal each other.
A must read. Pick up your copy today…
I voluntarily submitted an ARC review for this book.
Drunken Nights and steamy nights…..
Luca and Cate’s banter was hilarious they hated each other, but at the same time wanted to rip each other’s clothes off it was also a tug of war with them. They did….they didn’t. They just had to come to terms that one drunken night in Vegas ended up being the best thing that happened to them. Not that it came easy to them because again that banter was also a load of trouble and a pain in the behind, but thank god for happily ever after.
Disclaimer I received an arc copy for an honest and voluntary review!
The moment Luca met Cate the gauntlet was thrown down when he insulted her, she hasn’t really forgiven him. A liquor fueled Vegas holiday results in an unexpected wedding between Luca and Cate agree to end the marriage after a short period of maintaining the union for appearances sake. There is drama and some self doubt between them, and lots of chemistry. Though at times I found Cate’s behaviour rather exasperating. A good read overall.
The plot of this book is hard to describe without
giving it away except to say it grab my attention
right from the start to the last word.
The chemistry between the characters is steamy and
well developed.
I would definitely recommend this book.

We all have crazy Vegas stories, right? Well, Luca and Cate truly had a wild story to tell after one drunken night together. Hating each other for several years, Luca viewed Cate as just his annoying little sister’s best friend while Cate viewed Luca as nothing more than a rich, snobbish playboy. Before these two know what hit them, all of that angry tension between the two for years explodes into wild romance! I loved this story and I can’t wait to read Vivian Wood’s next book, Sleeping With My Boss!
Just because Luca Leone and Cate De Rose have known each other since they were kids doesn’t mean that they’re friends. Cate may be best friend’s with Luca’s sister, Luna, but they got of on the wrong foot initially and it’s been downhill ever since. So imagine both of their surprise when, on a weekend in Vegas for Luna’s birthday, Luca and Cate wake up in bed together. Married.
If it weren’t for the mutual sniping and snark between Luca and Cate, they’d have nothing to say to each other, so staying married is out of the question. But Cate is Catholic and doesn’t do divorce, and an annulment will take several weeks. Then there’s the issue of Luca needing Cate to remain his wife so he can get his ex-fiancée off his back.
Aside from wanting to shake both Luca and Cate a few times for their hot-headed, immature behavior, I loved these characters and they drew me into their story easily. The push and pull between these two is crazy, and when they finally get together, they’re sooo good together. Wood has a way of making even the most unlovable characters endearing, and Luca and Cate’s story makes for a light-hearted, steamy, entertaining read.
Married To My Enemy is an OMG such a good book. I enjoyed it so much I read it in one sitting. Luca and Cate k ow each other Because of Lucas sister but they are enemies as they can’t say a nice word to each other, then one night everything changes not for the better but along the way they come to an agreement only what happens when that goes wrong. Can two people who don’t like each other find love together. Fantastic Book. 5 STARS
Married To My Enemy was a great, enemies to lovers romance w/steam, crazy banter and off the charts chemistry. Enjoyed Cate and Luca’s story.
Cate swears like a sailor, and she’s worried about Catholicism and beliefs! Smh. Ambiguous much? Cate was a willing participant in the marriage, but made Luca pay dearly for that drunken faux pax! Cate’s oversaturation and preoccupation with religion was annoying and she seemed to use it as an excuse for her parent’s premature death. Why does such a sharp tongued prickly shrew need Gram’s okay to know Luca is her other half? Can’t she feel it? No confirmation needed with all her body’s reactions to him! Dumb girl. Luca is a god, and he puts up with her nastiness, then he helps her with pies at the shelter- could he be more perfect???!! Could Cate be more of a biotch?? Why is she so mean and cavalier with Luca? Grow up! I can’t like her or her callousness with Luca. She acted like the marriage and outcomes was all on him. Wake up church girl- you were there and very willing. I was thoroughly disappointed in Cate’s behaviors and actions. How can I hate her the whole story, and then at the end, it’s okay because they ended up together. I can’t. The end doesn’t justify the means. I hate Cate. Not sorry.
This was one of those books to read while you laze on the beach. It doesn’t take much concentration to follow the storyline but it keeps your attention. The characters aren’t over the top and their story is believable. I received this book at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
Ok where to start. This book was just ok for me. I really did not like Cait whatsoever. Luca had his mean moments but he was redeemable but Cait I had no connection and I got tired of her. She fought Luca every bit of the way. I know she was hurt years ago and can’t move on but come on. I absolutely fell in love with Luca. I understood his actions. I couldn’t with Cait. Can’t was a little too innocent for my taste. The way she dressed and her religion. No wonder why she was made fun of. This is not a favorite of mine but will continue to read more.
I think that it could have been a little shorter. I just got tired of her fighting Luca constantly. I was tempted to skip her chapters because I didn’t want to know what she was thinking. I did finish it to find out what happens. Luca should have ended up with Chloe. They seemed to have a better connection in the chapter we met her. I do not like when another character comes in and the main character states how hot and sexy this person is when they are already together with someone. Drives me crazy. Makes me feel like they are more attracted to them then they are their own wife or g/f. Another think I didn’t like was one part he said he should have maybe jerked off or maybe had another woman. Really?!?!
I did like Luna and I am glad that she told Cait how it was. Someone needed to talk some sense into her. Lucas friends were awesome. Madisyn what a b! And quit calling her Sun like you are still dating her. This book frustrated me. I love Vivian and her writing but this one was just hard for me to read. Again Cait did not deserve Luca.
I am not discouraging readers to read this but this is my opinion. I may not like it that much but others will.

Finding out your married after a heavy night of drinking is always a shock but the double whammy is if its to your enemy and that is what has happened to Luca and Cate. They have the chemistry, they have the banter, they have all the feels they just need to get their heads sorted and realise they are really good together. I loved every minute of this book and I couldn’t put it down as the author had me totally hooked.
An entertaining sisters best friend/enemy to lovers romance read. I enjoyed the banter between Luca and Cate, but their hate/love relationship kept me flipping the pages until the end. I loved the secondary characters that added more drama to the already crazy journey of Luca and Cate’s. But the piece the resistance was the heat level that they generate to make some delicious hot loving. I can’t wait for Luna’s story next.
A great read from the start. Two people who hate each other from the moment they meet,the first because he is jealous of the relationship she had with her mom, and the second fed up with his bullying ways everytime he saw her. Luca and Cate are on a wild ride as they get married in Vegas whilst they are both drunk, with news they decide and annulment is in order but then Luca changes the whole thing as he wants to make his ex jealous and tells her he is married. Will they get through everything they throw at each other???????? Loved the characters and story and boy I can’t wait for Luna’s story
I love this book so much! I thought it was such a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning and end highly recommend that you read it yourself.
Love this authors stories and this was no different. These characters are absolutely great together even though at first they can’t stand one another. I really could not put down and just quite enjoyed it.

What a fun story!!! Vivian Wood knocked it out of the park with Married to My Enemy. I loved the banter between the characters and am looking forward to reading Luna’s book I can’t wait for the extended epilogue.
I received this book for free. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Luca is a selfish, pretentious snob and feels that Cate isn’t the right type of person to be hanging out with his sister. She is poor and super conservative. Luca pays for a trip to Vegas for them all and a couple of his friends for his sister’s birthday. After a night of drinking Cate wakes up in Luca’s hotel room with a wedding ring. There is angst, emotions, great banter and lots of growing up in this story. It was an enjoyable read.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
Cate has been friends with Luna and Luca for many years. She finds Luca very, very attractive but they just don’t get on at all. One weekend with friends, Cate and Luca get married. Drunkenly. Neither of them can believe it. They hate each other. Luca tries to get an annulment as soon as possible but they have to wait a month. A dominant man. A very Catholic woman. An interfering sister. An undeniable attraction. An ex to charge things up. And love. Brilliant book and I absolutely loved it.
