Review: Charlie (Rydeville Elite #4) by Siobhan Davis
Charlie has lost everything and on the night his father dies he just wants to pretend life is different. But the woman he asks to help him pretend with doesn't take it well when she realizes what he's done and what (whom) he was thinking about while he was with her. So Demi with her proud self takes off and kindly requests he leave her alone.
Hard to do when he is her new boss and he's determined to be as massive an asshole as possible to her. But Demi doesn't take his shit lying down *wink wink* and dishes it right back. But somehow the two keep falling into each other's beds until lines aren't just crossed, they're obliterated. Will he break her heart again or will he take his head out of his ass and be the good guy he is deep down somewhere he doesn't let people see?
As usual with Siobhan Davis' writing, the story here is riveting. Not many can write enemies to lovers/bully romances that are bullying and mean without going over the top, but she pulls it off. Charlie was certainly a bully, the two were so antagonistic, but it was also obvious it was all just hiding chemistry and feelings, and I love how Demi gave as good as she got and didn't take Charlie's bullshit without dishing her own in return. I may have wished she didn't give in so quickly near the end, though, and it's the only reason for 4 rather than the 5 stars the first 3/4 deserve. But all in all, I loved this extension of the Rydeville Elite series. Can't wait for Jackson next!
