Sweet and Spiteful Rivalries

A Short Romance (Sweetheart Scones & Stories, Book 2)

De: C.K. Darling

Narrado por: Andi Eloise, Ryan Lee Dunlap

When love is on the menu, revenge never tasted so sweet. Romance author Brittany Quinn is juggling her writing and her business with zero time for snooty critics — until striking chef Holt Hawthorne delivers a biting critique of her beloved bakery-bookstore and she decides to serve up a piece of her mind. There's just one problem: the infuriating critic isn't just attractive, he's disarmingly charming.

As Brittany and Holt's paths keep crossing, their spirited debates ignite something fiercer than frustration, and the line between rivalry and attraction gets harder to hold.

Their budding romance plays out against late nights and friendly clashes at Peachwood Grove's fall festival, where they slowly discover that the best love stories might just start with a whole lot of competition. Sweet and Spiteful Rivalries is the second book in the Sweetheart Scones and Stories Series by C.K. Darling — a short, steamy enemies-to-lovers romance set in small-town Georgia, perfect for listeners who want heat, heart, and a happily ever after in a single sitting.

Rivals to ROMANCE

This was such a fun listen omg. I loved the back and forth between these two, it was so entertaining to hear the tension and tease build between the MFC and MMC. This book still had the same cozy heartwarming vibe as the first one, so it definitely makes you feel good. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a little ‘gotta make em work for it’ to their romance.

Really great story. The couple is so cute. The author did a great job of keeping the storyline unpredictable.

I really like this book. I love that it’s a short read. The storyline was good and the characters were well thought out. I recommend this book to anyone who’s looking for a brief romance story that can be read in a little over two hours. If you listen to it on audible, the characters, voices are great.
