The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.
Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.
Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day—when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.
The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.
Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.
Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.
For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.
Until the day the woman who started the feud died—and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.
Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.
As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.
Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good. We were fire and ice.
But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

This book was more like 3.75 stars for me. Vi Keeland has always been of my favourites, but her stories become kind of predictable when you read a few of her books. I like her style of writing, but it's always safe and easy, which it definitely shows in this book.
First things first, I absolutely love the cover! I'll take this over those half-naked, muscular men on the covers any day, please and thank you (although they're not bad to look at, either, don't get me wrong). I just might have a thing for men in suits so this cover is a hell yes from me.
This is such an easy read with the classic enemies-to-lovers theme that it doesn't feel that way on Weston's part.
Sophia and Weston's families hate each other and, therefore, Sophia and Weston, naturally, have to hate each other, too. Except they don't. When they meet again to run the hotel together, the sparks start flying between them.
Weston and Sophia are at each other's throats constantly, but from Weston, it's all nice and safe. He never oversteps, never offends Sophia - even more; he respects her, even though she's supposed to be his enemy. And he seduces her.
Weston isn't a man who sees himself worthy of someone like Sophia, especially after his troubled past and all the flaws he's carrying. Their relationship, though, doesn't just stay in their bed and their feelings start to grow for each other, making it harder and harder to ignore the magnetic pull between them.
Things get complicated between them when their parents intervene with their requests for both of them they can't fulfil.
What I absolutely loved in this book, or rather who, was Weston. He was charming, funny, easy-going and sexy. And always so kind. I didn't even have to try hard to love him.
The story, overall, was nice. You can't go wrong by picking up one of Vi Keeland's books and if you're looking for something cute and swoon-worthy with two head-strong characters, this is the right book to pick!
