Publisher's Summary

"Destroying other people isn't going to make you feel any better."

"That suggests you've never destroyed an enemy before. It's actually quite fulfilling."

EMMY
Elliott Springs has small-town values, cobblestone streets, perfect scenery. These are things I don't care about. What I do care about is . . . Revenge.

And no matter how compelling I find Liam Doherty-the guy focused on saving Elliott Springs-I'm going to get it.

LIAM
What do you call a woman who wants to destroy everything you love, yet the sight of her sets you on fire?

Nemesis or future wife . . . and since she can't wait to leave California, I guess I know which one she is. Emerson Hughes wants to be the villain in our town's history, and the more I learn about her past here, the more I understand it.

I wanted to save Elliott Springs.

I think I want to save her even more.

Brilliant performance!

I LOVED this story. Emmy’s backstory perfectly explained why she is the way she is. Liam was droll worthy. The performance by both of them was amazing. I loved every minute of it!

Another excellent book

Realistic but full of hope, well written, feminist, steamy romance novel. Loved her book once again.
Narrators excellent as well

Elliott Springs has small-town values, cobblestone streets, perfect scenery. These are things I don’t care about. What I do care about: Revenge. And no matter how incredibly compelling I find Liam Doherty—the gorgeous contractor focused on saving Elliott Springs—I’m going to get it.

What do you call a woman who wants to destroy everything you love, yet the sight of her sets you on fire? Nemesis or soulmate…and since she can’t wait to leave California, I guess I know which one she is.
Emerson Hughes wants to be the villain in our town’s history, and the more I learn about her past here, the more I understand it.
I wanted to save Elliott Springs. I think I want to save her even more. And keep her with me when it’s over.
TW: character bullied about weight, body issues

These two have perfect banter! This is book 4 in the - The Summer Series but it is also my first book by Elizabeth O’Roark. I love a series that you read in a series or stand-alone and Elizabeth nailed this as I got enough of a taste of the other characters to want to go and read their stories.
.
If you like any of the tropes above definitely give this book ago. The only reason I've given it a 3 star is because Emmy drove me up the wall but Liam has the patience of a saint. I was lucky enough to get a ARC for this book for an honest review thank you so much
