USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Sparks fly when an occult expert and a disgraced archeologist become enemies-with-benefits in this steamy romance from "go-to author" Rosie Danan (The New York Times Book Review).

Riley Rhodes finally has the chance to turn her family’s knack for the supernatural into a legitimate business when she’s hired to break the curse on an infamous Scottish castle. Used to working alone in her alienating occupation, she's pleasantly surprised to meet a handsome stranger upon arrival—until he tries to get her fired.

Fresh off a professional scandal, Clark Edgeware can’t allow a self-proclaimed “curse breaker” to threaten his last chance for redemption. After he fails to get Riley kicked off his survey site, he vows to avoid her. Unfortunately for him, she vows to get even.

Riley expects the curse to do her dirty work by driving Clark away, but instead, they keep finding themselves in close proximity. Too close. Turns out, the only thing they do better than fight is fool around. If they’re not careful, by the end of all this, more than the castle will end up in ruins.

"Journey with narrators Saskia Maarleveld and Shane East to the Scottish Highlands in this enemies-with-benefits romance.... Maarleveld and East seamlessly deliver witty dialogue and build romantic tension. Maarleveld's fluid cadence captures Riley's passionate spirit, while East's charming British intonation highlights Clark's curious nature. Listeners will enjoy the story as the pair solve the mystery of the curse while unexpectedly finding love." (AudioFile)

"Rosie Danan’s Do Your Worst has that rarest of tropes: an enemies-to-lovers pairing that is perfectly, lusciously balanced...It would be simpler for Riley and Clark to stay enemies if it weren’t for Danan’s signature evocation of horniness—blended here with just a soupçon of pain kink, as a treat. The sexiness is more cutting than her previous two books, with a bright acid pop that brings out the richness."—New York Times Book Review

"I have two words for you: Sex. Rituals. And five more: Curses. Made. Them. Do. It. Did I know I needed this book? No. Am I over the moon that it has been written? YES! Rosie Danan always gifts us with the spiciest, most hilarious romcoms, and her latest is an enemies to lovers, spooky read that I’ll be recommending to everyone I meet! Another perfect, sizzling romance by one of my favorite authors!"—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically

"Rosie Danan has taken expert sexual tension to the Scottish Highlands. Need I say more? As always, this author is an auto-buy."—Tessa Bailey, #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer

Wonderful enemies to lovers romance.

Wow, this book was so much fun. I haven't read such a great enemies to lovers romance in a long time. It was smart, sexy and had a touch of Scottish magic. I really hope the brother Patrick gets a book!

Narration overall was great. Saskia Maarleveld is amazing, and Shane East was great too, but
I'm not crazy about his female American voice.

Fresh Concept, Fantastic Enemies to Lovers Story

This is the third book I’ve read of this author’s, and I am always happily surprised to find that each book is compelling in and of its own right. This one is unique. The characters are fleshed out and fun to read. And the story is really fun. I love it.

Heart eyes emoji

This book was everything I wanted it to be and more. So fun, so cute, exactly what I needed right now.

Adorable

This book is fast paced and fun. The main characters were loveable and real. I listened to this book in one sitting because it was just a fun listen. I will be checking out more of her things.

Cute story. Great narration!

The story was cute and entertaining. The narrators were great and really made the story for me, especially Shane East. Although to be fair, I think I could listen to him read a telephone directory. 🤤

fresh new subject

it was a good book with a story i dont see often i enjoyed it a lot thw voice actors were great

Equal amounts charm, story and kink

See above. Also, the narration was fabulous - both performers. It was a delightful listen. Recommend.

Banter, Healing, and Spice

What more could you ask for? Great Narration! These two hurt people hurt each other but come to help heal each other in the end. MMC is such a nerdy heart throb and it's a nice change of pace for me to see the FMC being the one who makes just as many hurtful mistakes. It just made for a more even feel between the two.

Mostly okay…

I really wanted to like this one but I had a hard time connecting with the story. I loved the synopsis of the book and the cover. But the story is told in third person which is always weird to me. It makes the book feel impersonal and not about the characters. The story did have some fun moments and I loved that Riley was a curse breaker and Clark was the type A “I have to see it to believe it” guy. They definitely were not fans of each other but being forced to be around each other and work together helped push them together romantically. And you can’t be the setting of Scotland.

Shane East and Saskia Maarleveld narrated as Clark and Riley and I definitely finished the book because of them. Shane is always a top narrator for me and I will always buy a book he narrates. I think Saskia did a great job portraying the smart and determined Riley.

hoping for a 2nd book

this was such a light hearted and cute story...I usually don't like enemy to lovers because it's so unrealistic how can we hate each other than some how find each other attractive. the story starts out with mutual attraction and goes into dislike but the attraction is always there...also the spice was spicing for the light story

really want a 2nd book in the series they open a window at the end and I'm holding out for the new curse and the new love.
