He's the CTO of the family business. She's his stubborn, childhood rival. Forced to cooperate, will their tensions explode into passion or disaster?

Meet Ryder Anderson - my sandbox enemy turned adult adversary. The kid who used to steal my toys is back, and this time he's after my top spot in our publishing empire.

Now, we're cooped up together in one hotel room at a Vegas conference, and our rivalry is more explosive than a cheap firework on the Fourth of July.

Ryder is always one step ahead, using his billionaire status and charm to get what he wants.

He's infuriating, relentless, and...undeniably hot. Yet, beneath his confident exterior, I see glimpses of the boy I once knew.

As we battle it out in boardrooms by day and are confined to the same room at night, the lines between rivalry and desire blur.

Can we leave our rivalry behind for good? Or will the bright lights of Vegas strip away our defenses, revealing truths we're not ready to face?

"That hurt, you know."

"Good," I growl, eyes closed, trying to get a grip on my emotions. "I hurt you just like you're hurting me."

She blinks at me, confused and surprised. "I'm not even going to ask what that could mean."

I open my eyes and take stock inside myself. I feel…off. “Christ, I—I’m sorry," I say quietly. "I've just lost my mind, I think."

She doesn't say anything.

I stare at her, trying to piece my thoughts together.

I can barely stand this woman. But here I am, standing across from her, my eyes roaming over her upswept silky red hair and her sparkly red dress, thinking about how she's probably the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen in my life.

"Well…?” Jenny starts. "I'm guessing the Neanderthal resurfaced tonight for a reason. So, what is it this time, Ryder? What do you want to talk about?" She pauses for a second. "What do you want?"

I take in a breath and step forward, closing the gap between us, shaking my head. I reach for the back of her hair. She steps back, away from me.

I grab one of her soft, caramel arms and pull her to me.

"You," I say, my voice seemingly strangled. "You, Jenny. I think…I want you."

Rival to the Billionaire is a standalone, BWWM enemies to lovers romance perfect for readers who enjoy steamy love scenes, spicy language, and corporate drama.

Order you copy now and follow Ryder and Jenny from the boardroom to the bedroom.

childhood best friends to enemies to lovers

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023

3.75 stars

Rival to the Billionaire is filled with dirty talk, spicy but not kinky scenes and the type of banter you can only get between two people that truly know one another. This book moves fast and I read it in one sitting. I love the inner monologues of our MCs and it's always nice to have a male character that is honest about his flaws without being a jerk. If you want HEA with romance, mild angst and witty banter this book is for you.

Why didn't I go 4 stars? Couple of reasons but I can't explain without some mild spoilers.

SPOILERS BELOW. STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT BASIC PLOT SPOILER.

1. I do not like virgin heroine stories. I am not a fan, especially when they are automatically amazing lovers. That is just a no for me.

2. Our female MC Jenny is a black woman and the story talks about her hair a lot. Positive - I loved that her sleeping in a silk hair wrap is normalized and not made a big deal of. Negative - Ryder is CONSTANTLY putting his hands in her hair, tugging it, pulling it, running his fingers through it and she just goes on as if this is nothing. This immediately pulls me out of the story -- curly/coily hair is not having fingers "run through" it. Not happening.

This is a good book and I will definitely be reading more of this series.

I am really glad the author gave me an ARC for "Rival to the Billionaire", i enjoyed seeing Derek from the previous book and i also liked this one a lot, more than the first one. Actually, having read the previous book i was curious to see how things would go for Ryder and Jenni.
The characters were funny and likeable, the banter sooo good.
It was emotional and steamy, without silly misunderstandings (which i hate).
I will definitely read more from the author.

Mixed feelings, I think...

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024

***3.5 stars***

The premise wasn't new and I'm always a sucker for romances if the main characters have known each other since kindergarten. That always makes the history of the story special for me. So I loved the moments when in conversation one or the other would bring up something the other told the bus driver in third grade or basketball practice in the sixth. Another thing I like about this author is how her MMC's are all in when they finally decide to be in. To really be the backbone for their women in every way they can without games. I appreciate that.

As for the story, the reason for the animosity between Jenny and Ryder that drove most of the story was unclear...for most of the story! And I felt that Ryder got a bit nasty with the barbs, too. I guess it was a case of hurt people, hurt people. However, once feelings became clear and decided somehow, in the midst of things, Ryder really showed his heart and his care for Jenny.

And Jenny had to overcome a lot of things as well. She had to make some mistakes right with Ryder with a wonderfully grand gesture.

Overall, towards the end, the emotions of the couple were lovely and resolution earned. It just took a bit too long for the reveal; which was frustrating, and why its mixed for me.

Decade-long feud brings lots of heat

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023

Jennifer Forde is trying to climb the corporate ladder as new CIO at the company build by the Anderson brothers that she’s been friends with all her life. Ryder Anderson, the CTO, was her best friend when they were little kids but they’ve been bitter rivals since they were teenagers and it’s bleeding into their business operations, especially when they’re both tasked to go to a conference in Vegas where they have to share a hotel suite. Ryder is trying to launch a new app and Jenny thinks it’s too risky and is trying to stop it. Together they also have to fight their decades-long tension, buried feelings, and lots of secrets.

I liked the book but didn’t love it. It all felt a little too dramatic, like did she really think she was going to oust one of the company founders from his own family business and all his brothers would just be ok with that? Not because he wasn’t doing his job but just because he wanted to take a risk and launch an app in the same year as their IPO. That’s a little extreme.
I loved Ryder’s character with the inner conflict and his coping from serious business to party guy and back. Jenny was such a fun character in the last book but she kind of felt like a different person in this book, maybe because she hides so much so this is the real her but it still felt a little off.
I enjoyed the story and the romance part felt more realistic than the last book. Definitely looking forward to reading more about the rest of the family!
