Good but a bit long
All Mae ever wanted to do was work in her family’s antiques store. Despite their parent’s addictions, she has good memories of working in the store. Her older brother, however, has other plans. He wants out and, unbeknownst to Mae, he’s contacted one of the largest museums in Philadelphia to buy him out. What neither of them realizes is that the billionaire that owns the museum is one of their childhood friends. No problem, right?
Billionaire Tyson has clawed his way up to become one of the most successful curators/collectors in the world. He came from nothing and he intends to stay on top. When his assistant is approached by Mae’s brother, he uses the opportunity to revisit the good parts of his youth, which all include Mae and her brother. But what to do about buying the store? Will it come between him and Mae? And what about her brother and the bro code?
I loved these two characters, they have artful banter and are both strong willed. Tyson is going to buy Mae’s family business over Mae’s dead body. What neither realized how much fun the challenge would be. Hot and sexy read. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this ARC.
What a sensational new enemies-to-lovers second chance romance from Ali Parker filled with heartache, doubts, steamy passion, a forbidden romance, groveling, forgiveness, and love. Mae and her brother own their family antique store while caring for their younger sister. Tyson is a billionaire with several museums. When Tyson and Mae are reunited their attraction is still as explosive as ever yet many problems arise that could make or break their new found relationships. A captivating must read with so many feels that readers will fall in love with. I really loved this new book.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this novel.”
Ali Parker has written another great book. Once I started reading it I didnt want to put it down. It is kind of a second chance romance as they were High School sweethearts but then they weren’t. The book is at the time of the 15 year reunion but so much has happened since graduation, and the story goes from there. You will enjoy reading this book.
Ali Parker really knows how to write books we love to love and love to read. Tyson broke her heart once. Will he do it again?
You never, I mean never ghost a woman you love. Women have brains that will never forget what you did to them. Mae is the only woman Tyson would ever consider settling down with. Tyson’s best friend is Mae’s big brother. That alone always makes it a no-no. But they’re all adults now so what does it matter? This book is full of family drama, dysfunctional family, a love that has waited for 15 years to finally come together, sibling rivalry, drugs and alcoholism that is enough to tear a family apart. It is lovely to see this book slowly turn from friendship to uncertainty to can we make this work. They are just so perfect for each other in their personal and professional lives. When they make love, you can actually feel it in your heart. They are truly destined to be together. Why are they fighting it?. Mae and Tyson are both so stubborn, even though they give-and-take, they were going to have to give and take some more before they make it to the end of this book happily. Excellent drama. Love the love story like they are tiptoeing around each other. Fantastic ending.
You always want what you should not have.
So of course, Tyson wants Mae.
Cuz she’s off limits and he wants his hands all over her.
Enjoyed.
The storyline will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. This was well written and has an intriguing storyline. This has secrets, family drama, betrayal, twists and turns you won’t see coming. Mae and Tyson secretly dated when she was in high school then he left without a word to go to college. They have explosive chemistry and they can’t keep their hands off of each other. They both have insecurities and obstacles they need to overcome but eventually get their HEA ending.

5 stars
I received a free copy of the steamy novel Sleeping with the Enemy by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
Easy flowing, drama packed,complex and inspirational with some unexpected humor. Reunited when Tyson buys Patrick Kendall’s antique business, this somewhat steamy novel involves the Philadelphia Kendall family’s struggle for normalcy, love and self worth despite a family history of substance abuse and, is combined with a love of history, a rivalry,vulnerability, museums and the introverted reserved billionaire Tyson’s struggle to express his love to his high school best friend’s sister Mae Kendall.
SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY By Ali Parker
This is a best friend’s little sister story with a big twist. Mae and her brother Patrick are running a small family antiquities business, that Patrick bought from their father. Mae, Patrick and little sister Hayden have not had easy lives, they are the offspring of very dysfunctional parents. Patrick hasn’t seen his friend Tyson for several years. Back in the days of high school, Tyson and Mae were together without telling anyone as they knew Patrick would not like it. When Patrick decides to sell the business without letting Mae know, she is furious. Unbeknownst to them, Tyson’s company is the purchaser. There is still blazing hot chemistry that is combustive between Tyson and Mae. This story is full of angst, drama, chaos, mistakes, betrayal, and bad decisions. They do get the HEA they need. I give this 5 stars.
Mae and Tyson had been lovers in their youth. But Tyson had left her behind. Now reunited, will they be able to get past all the obstacles in their path to happily ever after? A wonderful story of young love, ruthless business dealings and the sacrifices you must sometimes make in the name of love!
Ali never fails to give us a great story. And… Tyson and Mae’s story was no different.
It’s well thought out, interesting characters who you love, and with chemistry that’s on fire, a best friend’s little sister trope and a plethora of emotions. It’s definitely a story worth reading.
I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy for my own opinion.
As always a terrific read
Up is down and down is up in this story about Mae and Tyson’s romantic roller coaster of a “relationship”. She’s always been the one he wanted, although at times he seems driven to do what will throw a wrench into the possibility. When Antiquities, her family’s business might be for sale because of family problems, he tries to buy it. There are so many ups and downs and back and forths in her life as well as their relationship that at times it doesn’t seem possible. The impossible is possible. The characters are fantastic (it’s fun that we don’t like everything they do-makes them more human). The story isn’t the least bit convoluted even with all the ups and downs and back and forths. Your emotions with run the gamut from happy to sad, pleased to put off, and thrilled with the final outcome.

Mega Hours Of Satisfying Reading
Epic. Huge novel; mega hours of satisfying reading. What I took away after reading this novel is that family dynamics are intricately emotions; sometimes they knit together and sometimes they don’t but the weave is the strength no matter the emotion. The three siblings in this story endured much but the moved forward together. This story was a very long read but Ms. Parker sustained my interest in her writing to the end. Good Stuff!
I enjoyed Mae and Tyson’s entertaining and a captivating story. It’s nicely developed and well written. I love the characters. Tyson and Mae have known each other since they were younger and get to connect once again. He is her brother’s best friend. Mae’s brother just sold the family business to Tyson. Things start get very interesting and good.
Mae, her older brother, Patrick,r and their much younger sister, Hayden, have not had easy lives. Both their parents are addicts. Their father an alcoholic and their mother who both over indulges with drink and drugs. When their father could no longer run the family business Patrick took over, Mae went to uni and then came back to help in the firm with marketing, Hayden being a small child at school. Tyson, Patrick’s best friend, and Mae had a secret love affair when she turned 18 and she was heartbroken when he left without a word to her. He’snow a very successful billionaire who goes all over the world finding artifacts that he gets authenticated and displays in his museums. Patrick has kept the business alive but it’s not his passion and he reaches out to Tyson’s employee, Alex, to see whether he would be interested in buying them out. Mae is furious and hurt when she finds out that Patrick has done this as she loves the work and shares this passion with Tyson. Patrick never knew about Tyson and Mae and they keep him in the dark about them meeting up again. The passion between them is just as explosive and cannot be ignored. Meanwhile all is not well at the family home and Mae ‘rescues’Hayden from their parents who are not capable of looking after the 13 year old girl. SO Mae now has Hayden to care for and finding new work for herself as well as secreting carrying on her affair with Tyson. Something has to give! But what is it and what will Patrick do when he finds out about Tyson?? Brilliantly written by the fabulous best selling author, Ali Parker. You will not want to put the book down until you’ve reached the end. It is compelling with fascinating characters. It is so easy to love Mae, Hayden and Tyson [though he does make me mad when they are in Paris!] There is heartache, Absolute love, romance, teenage crushes and a wonderful ending. I loved reading this book and ‘meeting’ Tyson, Mae and their family. I received a reader’s copy of the book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!
I truly enjoyed this book. It’s well written and has strong characters. I love that I can immerse myself in the book, being cooped up at home because of the Coronavirus. Good to forget the problems for awhile. So thank you to Ali Parker for letting me read this book for free. I always love reading her books, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
Grab your copy now. Stay home and stay safe.
This was the ultimate fall for the Enemy book and I loved how it played out. They way this two people have to fight for what the need and want just to keep their family close. You had to not scream inside hoping that you get the ending that YOU want and when we get there, it’s the best read. Thank you so much for another amazing and wonderful book!! I give it 5 stars.I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
This is by far one of Ali’s best books yet. Mae and Tyson have a history since he was her brother Patrick’s best friend. They had a thing when they were teenagers but it ended when they went off to college.
Now years down the road Patrick and Mae own an antique store together and he secretly sells it to his former best friend Patrick. When Mae finds out she is mad. How will this work out? How will they deal with their feelings and the past now that he’s back?
Ali bring all sorts of emotions with this story! This book has family issues that will break your heart and make you want to smack a few people around. There are several surprises, disappointments and lots of trust issues. Mae and Tyson’s chemistry are electric but can they overcome all that life will throw at them? I was given an ARC copy in exchange for my honest review and this is one book you won’t want to miss out on. Hands down worth 5 stars and then some.
Mae and Tyson’s story will grab your attention and your heart from the beginning and keep you flipping pages until the very last one. Mae and Tyson have a history – they secretly dated in high school, he was her brother’s best friend. Tyson leaves for college and leaves Mae heartbroken. Fast forward many years later and these two are thrown together again when her brother sells the family business to Tyson. There are twists and turns and so much steam in this story! Mae and Tyson are so drawn to each other – WONDERFUL STORY! I received an advanced readers copy of this book and highly recommend it.
This author has the remarkable ability to make characters come to life in my brain. My heart broke for the experiences Mae had gone through. And Tyson’s moral dilemma between his love for Mae and his loyalty to his best friend, her brother, made my heart crack open a little more. In fact, Tyson shows the reader all his vulnerabilities. Mae is a lot more guarded. I’m sure that had a lot to do with why it took me so long to warm up to her. She also has a pretty wide, vindictive Mean Girl streak that I wasn’t a fan of. There was a large section of the book where I got violently upset over the way Mae kept treating Tyson. (It may have been a continuity error in the copy I read, but she knew in advance about everything she was losing her mind over being “blindsided” by.) Though, she had my full support when he made the ultimate in oblivious bonehead decisions during the critical conflict of the book. I was so glad to see them get their happily ever after in the end.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
