Publisher's summary

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Laura Pavlov, comes a new Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Standalone Sports Romance in the brand new Magnolia Falls Series.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.

I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.

She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.

We couldn’t be more different.

Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.

I despised her before I even knew her.

It was easier that way.

But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.

I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.

She was beautiful and honest and sweet.

Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.

Shouldn’t need.

They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.

I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.

She was the right hook I never saw coming.

Hating her was supposed to be my end game.

Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.

But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.

Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.

And she was definitely worth the fight.

Literally a perfect book 💕

This book really just hit for me. The audiobook was AMAZING and the romance was perfect.
Typical guy hates girl because she comes from a rich family but with a twist.
There was actually so many layers in this book that for a contemporary romance, it hits on a lot but the romance never suffered.
Im a fighter romance girly and omg this book was amazing. I love that we actually get to see ON PAGE BOXING and training. I always get annoyed when its labeled as a fighter romance when there isnt on page fighting but this book had SO MUCH OF IT.
I loved the development of the romance. It's like enemies to friends to friends with benefits to lovers. It was amazing to read. But also THE FOUND FAMILY? Literally there is not a character I am not obsessed with. I just want everyone to read this book.

This New Series is a Must Read!

Welcome to Magnolia Falls where the coffee is hot and the men are even hotter! Loving Romeo is the first book in Laura Pavlov’s newest series. All I can say is be prepared to swoon!!! This boxer is sexy as hell with a dirty mouth to match it! Audio Narrator Connor Crais did an amazing job at bringing Romeo to life and I can not get enough of his voice.

Thank you Laura for writing the boxer romance that I never knew I needed in my life. I’ve never given much thought about the preparation fighters go through to prepare for a few hours in the ring. It was fascinating to watch Romeo prepare and Demi help him.

Demi Crawford is such an amazing character with a heart of gold. She may be from a wealthy family but she’s strong and independent and doesn’t want to rely on her families money. She also doesn’t take shit from arrogant assholes! She knocks Romeo on his butt and he takes her breath away. I could not get enough of this couple and the audio was perfect! I loved the dual voice acting. Both narrators did an amazing job!!

I am so excited for the rest of this series! Chapter one introduces you to Romeo’s Ride or Die brothers and I’m hoping each will 🙏 receive their own book. Laura teases us with how intriguing each of the guys are and I can NOT get enough! I need more!!!!

angsty & GREAT on audio!

4.5 ⭐️!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVED this one! This was my first Laura Pavlov book and I will most definitely be seeking out more from her because I was just so enamored with this town, the characters, and the romance!! I will always adore an "I should hate you because I hate your family but I cannot stay away from you" moment and this had it in spades. The angst, the tension, and the natural development of Demi & Romeo's relationship were all just SO GOOD. AND it was hot! And on top of all of that, Samatha Brentmoor & Connor Crais narrating truly brought everything to life. I cannot wait to read more from Laura Pavlov because this was such a knock out for me.

This Audio is Everything!

Just like always, Laura's writing totally consumed my heart!! There is just something so magical about the words that she writes.
I am not sure how to put into words how much I loved this book! I was pulled into this story from the first page, and it never let me go.

I loved every minute of this audio. Both narrators did an amazing job with this one. And you could hear the emotions in their voices as you listened. That was one of my favorite things when u listened to this one, to hear the emotions the characters were feeling. This is one of my favorite listens.

Loving Romeo is the first book in her new Magnolia Falls series, and it could not have been more perfect of a start to a new series.
This is a sports romance (boxer), Grumpy / Sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, good girl / bad boy, opposite side of the tracks set in a small town. You also get a band of brothers that are more loyal than family.

Romeo and Demi are the most unlikely couple and have so many factors against them. But they are both so driven and loyal.
Demi is such a happy and loving character. She shines so brightly in this book, and I love her fierceness to the ones in her circle.

Romeo is everything and more than I expected him to be. He is loyal to the ones he loves, will fight for what he wants, and gives everything he has to do to protect the ones in his circle.

This story will have you swooning and falling in love with all these characters. I am so ready for more of this world and these characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book. It was definitely worth a credit! Narration was perfect as well.

Holy moly

Do you ever look at a title of a book or look at the picture on the front and think this looks like a good book and have you ever done the same very thing and read the book and it was one of the worst books you’ve read? Well, I looked at this book and I read just the tiniest bit about it and knew that it was going to be my next listen. I am so in love with this story. The story was awesome. It was just a perfect amount of drama and the love of these two are amazing

Romeo Knight 🥰🔥

I absolutely loved this audio! I fell in love with Demi and Romeo. What's not to love, a small town romance, boxing, enemies to lovers and a cozy coffee shop. Their story was told so beautifully and it wasn't an easy time for either of them. Romeo is preparing for a boxing match, a match that could be the most important of his life and Demi is working through family secrets. I definitely recommend this audiobook, it's sexy and emotional and oh so good!

Great Narrators, Okay Small Town Romance

Some of my favorite narrators so the performance was great! But the story wasn't for me. Very much insta-love and marketed as enemies to lovers but they weren't really enemies haha. But still check it out if you love Laura and are interested!

My newest obsession

Omg Romeo is my newest obsession! The narrator's were amazing, they are two of my favorites and they never disappoint.

Romance Readers Dream

Wow! Laura never misses! This book had me by the hook from the very beginning. The story line is perfect. It’s the perfect romance novel. If you’re looking for spice, this isn’t it; however, if you are looking for an award winning romance story to sweep you away and give you all the feels, this is your book! You won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait for the next book in this series
