The Cartwells, Book 1

If you can't join them, beat them.

Marigold Cartwell has only one goal: to defeat her long-time rival on the archery field. She knows she can outshoot irritating, cynical Tristan Gates, but the local bowmen’s society—the one he belongs to—refuses to allow women to compete. Spurred on by their rejection, Marigold decides to start a new society. Naturally, it has only one rule: no men.

Tristan Gates is used to Marigold Cartwell always getting her way, so he is far from surprised when she forms her own society. He knows how relentless she can be, something he learned firsthand facing her at the targets. But Tristan has enough worries of his own, what with his bachelor uncle falling in love with a fortune hunter. He has no time to entertain Marigold’s ambitions.

However, after a visit to the seashore ends in disaster—and scandal—Marigold and Tristan soon realize how little they know about each other. The strained tension between them quickly turns to simmering attraction, but an important archery competition looms ahead. Lines are drawn all around them, with Marigold and Tristan on opposite sides, and neither can afford to lose. Yet winning might be the very thing to tear them apart.

A must listen!

The voice performance is amazing!. The story is amazing! I'm gonna buy the paperback just so I can read this story for myself as well. Such a great clean and wholesome enemies to lovers romance

Sweet enemies to lovers

I often read books labeled as enemies to lovers, when in reality only one of the MCs feel like it’s an enemies to lovers. Joanna Barker nailed the trope. Both of our main characters truly disliked each other at the beginning and it made it even more sweeter to see their love story unravel. An absolute joy of a read. The narrator did a great job too

Wonderful period romance
