Publisher's summary

It’s been twelve years since I’ve seen him, twelve years since he won our war of wits by outsmarting me with a tactic I didn’t even know was allowed. But tonight…I’m going to resurrect the battle.

Ryan Henderson is back in town for our best friends’ wedding, and I plan on showing him exactly how much I don’t care about him—or the almost kiss he ruthlessly dangled over me after graduation. But things have changed since then. I'm a successful bakery owner now, and I plan to rub every delicious detail of my life in his ugly face. There’s just one problem: his face is gorgeous. He wasn’t supposed to look like this or pursue me like a sexy guided missile. I have to stay strong until the wedding is over and Ryan scurries back into whatever alternate universe he escaped from. His interest in me is nothing but a continuation of the games we played in high school...right?

But the longer he stays, the more I wonder if I’m wrong and his tender smile and heated attentions are genuine. Maybe it’s not a game. Ha! Who am I kidding? This is Ryan we’re talking about. Of course it’s a game—a game called war—and this time I will win.

I LOVE THIS!!! One of my new favorite books i’ve read in a long time.

So enjoyable!

So many time I realized I laughed out loud or smiled so big all throughout this book! I enjoyed it so much! The narrators did such a great job of adding such emotion in their voices! Thank you for this great entertainment!

Sweet!

Sarah Adam’s’ books are some of my favorite. I love spicy just like many women do, but I find myself loving Sarah’s way of telling the story with implied spice. Her characters are alway ALWAYS lovable and I love that.

Thumbs up

Pulls you right in. It’s an easy listen but the story nonetheless hooks you in right away.

Brilliantly Hilarious

Narration was spot on. The writing was brilliant and hilarious. It’s so refreshing to find a clean romcom! Can’t wait to listen to more from this author and these narrators!

All's well that ends well

At the beginning I was annoyed by June's personality but as the story unfolded I understood her better and Connie did a great job so in the end I enjoyed it. I adored Ryan with his open honesty! I l like that he didn't hide his feelings! And the pranks were pretty funny! Both narrators did a great job! I love books with multiple narrators!

So good!!!

Loved this. Found it by accident and it is so charming and funny..just makes you smile.

Love This Series!

This series has a special place in my heart ❤️
I’ll start with the narrators because they really bring those two books to life and honestly I don’t know if I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did if not for the narrators. In the first book, I felt Shabshab is the perfect narrator for Sarah Adams’ humor and I feel the same here.
As for the story itself, a smile was plastered on my face for almost the entire book, I sniggered, I laughed, I swooned and my heart was filled with so many positive emotions which means this was a fantastic rom-com that gave me the lovely rejuvenation time I craved during my week. I finished more than half of the book in one day and had to stop only because I had other things to do that I couldn’t combine listening-time with them.
The weird thing is, I’m not a huge fan of hate-to-love stories and I usually don’t like pranks. Here though, it was tasteful in my opinion and it fit the couple and the story. I loved it.
I did have a few small issues with the book, but looking at the book as a whole - I loved and appreciated it and would happily recommend it if you love the synopsis.

My favorite book!

This one is so good that I have it in all formats. The narration adds an extra dimension to the book. I can’t get enough of Ryan & June!

Charmingly witty

I LOVE Sarah’s books and this one does not disappoint. I love the tension between the characters and how persistent Ryan is. Great read!
