BLURB
The first boy I ever hated was Jax Bridges.
The first man I loved was his best friend.
My plan was to meet a boy, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
That ended when my boyfriend died and left me half of his business.
Now, his best friend and I are business partners.
There’s just one problem: We hate each other.
Jax and I have been rivals since childhood.
He wants me out of the business, but it’s all I have left.
The more time we spend together, the more we question if we were ever rivals at all.
Will my last love be his best friend?
Or will we destroy each other?
We were two people who loved the same person in different ways.
ARC REVIEW
Welcome back to Blue Beech and be ready to have your heart shattered, but also pieced back together with this story. It is an emotional rollercoaster taking you through loss, healing, and learning how to love again.
Amelia, who is the daughter of Silas and Lola from Last Round, and Jax, who is the son of Maliki and Sierra from Just Roommates, grew up around each other. They were frenemies until they become enemies and now they are business partners since Amelia inherited half of the brewery from her fiancé that passed away.
I loved the back and forth between Amelia and Jax from the start. They knew how to push each others buttons, but at times one of them would take things too far. Both of them were struggling with a loss of someone that they loved and both of them were broken over that. However, even when spewing horrible things towards each other you could still feel the connection and the chemistry between the two of them. You could feel them fighting each other and their feelings from the start.
This story does deal with sensitive topics so be sure to check out any warnings before beginning the story.
