He wasn’t banking on someone else taking the reins…
Lady Estelle Foxbrooke is done cleaning up the mess left by her wild parents. She’s got a plan: take the reins and save the family estate her way. But then she’s saddled with a business partner she’s hated all her life. He’s her twin brother’s worst enemy and looms in her path like a six-foot-four hurdle.
After a catastrophic business failure, rich and successful James Hunter-Savage has watched his dream life in London crash and burn. Forced to ditch the city for the Somerset countryside, he’s now living with his parents and expected to work with the infuriatingly attractive Estelle. She’s sharper than a whip, pushes all his buttons, and seems determined to break him.
As Estelle and James jockey for position, their explosive personalities combust into passion, sending Estelle’s plans to the edge of ruin. With James’s flimsy reputation in tatters, and the biggest event on the Foxbrooke calendar on the brink of collapse, will they realise their love is worth fighting for? Or are their hearts and hard work heading for the ultimate fall?
The Upper Crush is a laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers, steamy, standalone, smalltown romantic comedy with a fiery country girl giving a cocky city boy a run for his money. No cheating or cliffhanger, but snort-laughs, swoons and a deliciously happy ending guaranteed in this sparkling and sizzling romcom!
Review
In Upper Crush, privilege hides panic and awkwardness. James is figuring out how to be human. He neeeds a job and a woman who carn help him navigate more than a glass of wine at a Country Club. Funny, sassy Estelle is something he’s known for a long time would do him good (in all the ways). Estelle is also thinking about all the things they could do together, but James is the sworn enemy of her brother after a school days spat over a woman. But working together on a music festival lets all the sparks ignite. Their carnal attraction gives way to a positive working relationship and, eventually, to love.
The humor and characters are on point. I loved the banter. The author does a great job with quippy dialogue. The tension was well-built even though there wasn’t much explanation for why they are so drawn to each other. For less spicy readers, this is probably not for you. It’s a strong R rating for sex and language. The sex is explicit and carnal with no time wasted on bonding. It’s a good example of a modern romance, but not for all readers.
