Aaron Taylor-Ladner: As the head of a billion dollar family empire, being a nice guy isn’t part of my job. The only person who doesn’t run for cover when I walk into a room is my new chief of sales, Harrison Ducker. He’s outspoken, snarky, and a total pain. I’d fire him in a heartbeat – if I had one – if he didn’t have an ironclad contract thanks to my father’s meddling ways. I can’t stand the sight of Harrison and the feeling is mutual. But one business trip, and only one bed, takes this hate-hate relationship to a very different place. What’s disturbing? I love it. What’s worse? I might love him.
Happily Never After is an enemies to lovers MM romance with two men that are so wrong for each other, they have to be right.
REVIEW:
One of my favorite tropes written by one of my favorite authors. What more to wish for.
Aaron has been through a tough youth, he had a cold emotionless upbringing by a heartless father, transforming from a nerdy introverted college boy, into the CEO of a family empire, with said father being difficult. But Aaron made it.
The new chief of sales interview brings back awful memories of the past. Ten years ago he ran into this unpleasant guy who was an asshole to Aaron and was also witness to Aaron’s humiliating incident.
Ha! He will never ever hire Harrison Ducker!!
Sadly, the family board members voted against his decision and for hiring.
Aaron has a business trip and Harrison has to join him. A snowstorm is coming, all rooms are needed to cover the people. You guessed right! They have to share one room and one bed.
“You’re in room 2666.”
“Take away the two and I’m in hell alright,”
Oh boy, Harrison is bad for Aaron’s health, the man is snarky as fuck and doesn’t care he’s speaking to his boss. Luckily Aaron’s mouth knows how to snark back. Dang, do they verbally fight each other!
The slowly shifting dynamic from anger to sexual tension to something way more, way stronger, was quite breathtaking. I was completely mesmerized.
Gosh, I loved this enemies-to-lovers story! As always, it is flawlessly written and with all the feels.
