Publisher's Summary

A sexy enemies-to-lovers romance set in the world of the Wrights about Hollin & Piper from USA Today best-selling author K.A. Linde....

No one on this planet pushes my buttons like Hollin Abbey.

I don’t know if it’s the rugged, sexy cowboy look or the Harley Davidson motorcycle, or the cocky swagger. Or just him. But whenever we’re together we fight like cats and dogs.

Now, our vineyards are rivals in the annual wine competition, and I’m determined to win.

I just have to take out my Wright rival.

Enemies to lovers in the middle of a rival!

It is no secret I am a fan of Linde's work and the Wright series and this book added to my delightment! If you read the books leading up to this one, then it is no secret to you the rival between Hollin and Piper. (If you have not read any if the other books you can read this one fine) Hollin historically has not been interested in settling down and more intersted in playing the field due to his history. Piper has been in a long term on again off again relationship but she has realized maybe it is not a relationship that will last long term. Piper and Hollin are two people that rile each other so to think that they would be in a relationship is comical with the way they despise each other. In true Linde fashion I loved the way Hollin was able to break down Piper's walls and prove her perceptions wrong. Piper was able to get an authentic view of who Hollin was. I loved Piper's determination in her career and personal life. I enjoyed how Linde touch on an issue with Hollin that you do not see in males often. If you are looking for your next read to fall in love with this is your book. It is an slightly angsty, slightly steamy, sprinkle some fun, and an enemies to lovers this is your book!

Swoony

I really enjoyed these two. I liked that there was more than just the “reformed playboy” with all of the talk to the trauma that had happened. Just good advice and actions were taken to be a better man! K.A. Linde writes such real romances and I’m always happy to pick them up. I cannot wait for the next book in the Wright Series!!

Love Hollin!

Can good girl Piper reform bad boy Hollin?

Hollin and Piper are like oil and water, but their antagonistic relationship intensifies when their wineries compete against one another in a wine competition. Fans of the Wright series knew it was only a matter of time before their sarcastic banter and sizzling chemistry blossomed into something more. And, it went from 0 to 100!!!

I loved the evolution of their relationship. Once Hollin and Piper let go of their preconceived notions, they realized they were different yet similar in their values. By showing Piper his heart, Hollin broke down the walls she had built around herself. Vulnerable Hollin is swoon worthy!

Jason Clarke and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker nail Hollin and Piper's journey from enemies to lovers with their skillful narration. Clarke's smooth, sexy voice fits the tatted cowboy perfectly. Nemeth-Parker brings stubborn, driven, workaholic Piper to life. I could feel the push and pull between Hollin and Piper as I listened.

Wright Rival is an audiobook that I'll listen to again and again! It includes spirited banter, plenty of steam, and some angst, along with romance!

Great story and narration

Having read the previous books in the Wright Brothers series I was excited when I learnt that there was going to be a new addition. It was great to be back in Lubbock, Texas for Hollin Abbey and Piper Medina ’s story, the good girl and the bad boy she reforms.
From the start I was invested in their story and listened to it in almost one go. The narration by Jason Clarke and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker was spot on and their voices were easy to listen to and did justice to these characters.
Of course it wouldn’t be a K.A. Linde book without some angst and there were times that I wanted to yell at the miss communication between Hollin and Piper. However it was entertaining to watch this feisty couple come together.
A heart warming, romantic, passionate love story that was well written and the added bonus were some familiar faces making an appearance which added an additional layer to the story.
