Book Review: My Enemy, My Obsession

 

I have plenty of reasons to dislike the hard-edged, ridiculously good-looking, arrogant Ethan Dalton, who did my father wrong, and I’d do anything for the chance to tell the billionaire that and more to his face. So when I’m selected to attend Moore's Department Stores annual conference in Hawaii, with an invitation to submit my designs for their new fall line, the last person I expect to come toe-to-toe with is Ethan himself. I had no idea he was on the board, and despite the fact that he won’t know who I am, I’m in avoidance mode, and failing. I end up sitting several feet away from him, spellbound by how ridiculously hot he is, for an arrogant jerk, when he feels my stare, and I end up locked in his. I’m officially busted, the amusement in his eyes, is somehow charming, rather than infuriating, but when I have the chance to meet him, I run for the hills.

But not for long.

The next thing I know, he’s standing in front of me, in another chance encounter that becomes oh so intimate, and when he thinks my name is well, not my name, I don't correct him. Because once he knows who I am, we’re at war. And what happens that night is anything but war. It’s the most intense, incredible night of my life, but come morning, I do the only thing I can do. I sneak out before he figures out who I am. Besides, I’m saving myself an awkward goodbye.

Only running from the gorgeous, intense billionaire never seems to work, and I fail miserably again.

It’s not long before our paths and my future collide, and my little bedtime lie is not so little anymore and threatens all that I love. And the only way to save myself, is to get down on my hands and knees and beg a man my father once called the devil himself.

My Review

Ethan is a really great guy. It took a very long time for Sofia to see this and accept it. When she admitted that she was scared, Ethan replied "That's good. Because it's an honest emotion, and it means that you're invested."

Every time that Sofia tried to run away from Ethan, he was right there to show her that there was nothing to run away from. He cared for her and wanted her to succeed. Plus, Sofia can't really deny the attraction that these two had for one another. The proof was behind closed doors in the bedroom! 

The story gets more interesting in the last third of the story. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. This was a very fast read for me.
