Checkmate

De: R. L. Mathewson

Narrado por: Fran Jules

There’s nothing worse than living next door to your childhood nemesis, except maybe being forced to share your dream project with him, being blackmailed into going along with something that was just wrong on so many levels, and having your hot cocoa stolen by the person that drove you to drink it in the first place.As long as she has plenty of hot cocoa, a pair of pliers on hand and is able to resist Connor O’Neil’s bad boy charm then Rory James should be able to make it through this project with her sanity intact. If not…

She’d probably face a few more nights in jail, have a few more restraining orders slapped against her and lose her heart to the man that ruined her life.

Y Funny, amazing book must read for our l Mathewson

Great series, and very funny and hilarious book must read the cities neighbors from Hell

Stuck on repeat

The premise of the story is a classic enemies to lovers. This one lasts a very long time as enemies. But the story gets stuck on a couple details the can drive you crazy. How many times can you say hot chocolate obsession and about a family being band from stores and restaurants. The end works out ok but could have included the family in the wedding. This story kept me saying enough already.

Enemies to Lovers

Make no bones about, Rory and Connor can NOT be in the same room together without something bad happening or someone going to jail. That's how bad they hate each other, or do they? There's a fine line between love and hate. When the dream project is dropped into both of their laps, that line is put to the test.
Talk about crazy! These two put a new meaning in restraining order, which makes their so much fun to read. This book is my favorite of the series so far.
Fran Jules makes a fantastic performance in narrating this humorous and sexy book.

One word - Addicting

I was INSTANTLY intrigued lol. Their relationship dynamic is weirdly one I wish I had growing up lol I was quiet the tomboy.

I couldn’t stop listening! Rory’s no bs mentality won me. And Connor is a perfect match!

This Chex Mix is stale....

Rory and Connor have been enemies since childhood and according to Connor nobody can torment her but him. They both are nominated for a job at Strawberry Manor and if it gets done in time they both will benefit from it. Rory and Connor both torment each other throughout the time it takes so that only one of them can get the credit for a job well done. But, when Rory falls in the basement, Connor takes it upon himself to take care of her. He then comes up with a new plan of redeeming himself in the eyes of the public by telling Rory that she can have whatever she wants but, she will have to be his girlfriend and make everyone think they are in love. Will they continue with the games or will they give in to each other? Another hilarious tell of will they/won't they. Fran, you did great this time. I enjoyed listening to this one. Jason and Trevor make an appearance in this story and so does a few more characters from other NFH books. I can't wait for the next one.
