Fifteen years later and Brenner and Weston can't forget the rivalry they had in college, nor the one night hookup they had a year ago. Now working for the same law firm, they realize they don't really know each other and that their unexpected attraction is mutual and undeniable.
From the blurb:
Not him.
Not that guy, Weston Lively.
The one I've hated since law school.
The man who gets by on good looks, a fat bank account, and a powerful, political father.
Our more-than-just-a-kiss one drunken night changes nothing between us.
We’re both still straight.
And we still hate each other.
It doesn’t matter that we work for the same law firm.
We’ve put what happened behind us.
Except....oops.
It might’ve happened again.
And again.
Hmm.
Maybe we don’t really hate each other anymore.
But there’s a bigger roadblock in our way.
Weston’s evil father.
The two of us together could ruin his chance at becoming President.
Especially with the press digging into my past and haunting our every move.
Then his father makes Weston a terrible offer he might not be able to refuse.
It would mean breaking us apart.
And breaking our hearts.
It was easier when I hated him.
Now I can’t imagine walking away.
How did the man I once hated with a fiery passion become the one who now sets my soul on fire?
Lesetiger's review:
If you’re looking for a captivating “enemies-to-lovers” romance, you’ve come to the right place! The story captivates with its authentic characters and explosive chemistry, as the two protagonists engage in a sharp-witted verbal sparring match.
The writing style is wonderful as always, and I quickly got drawn into the story of Brenner and Weston. They know each other from law school, where they were already rivals. Brenner and Weston have very different backgrounds and reasons for studying law. They’ve been rivals from the start, but then, while drunk, they had a one-time fling that neither of them seems able to forget. Years later, they’re colleagues at a law firm, and the attraction is still there.
A big plus for me, as always, is the chemistry between the protagonists. The story isn’t easy, but there are many great details. Slowly, a relationship develops between the two. And yes, there’s a happy ending! The story is entertaining and suspenseful, thanks to the pressure from Weston’s father and the public. I also find the supporting characters remarkable.
I’ve now listened to the audiobook for the second time, and I really like the story because it kept me hooked from start to finish.
J.F. Harding absolutely nailed the audiobook! He manages to bring the emotions to life very authentically, whether it’s hatred, envy, anger, or budding romantic feelings, as well as warmth, desire, and love. And there were some very steamy scenes.
It was a pleasure to listen to this audiobook.The audiobook version is highly recommended!
Not That Guy is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
