Eli Loveless and Violet Tulane never did learn to coexist peacefully. From the first day of kindergarten until high school graduation, they argued, fought, and competed over anything and everything. They only managed to stop when Eli left their small town, and Violet heaved a sigh of relief.Now he’s back, infuriating as ever, running the kitchen at the high-end wedding venue where Violet works, and competing with her for a life-changing bonus.Oh, and in his ten years of absence, Eli has gotten stupidly hot, considerably more charming, and truly excellent at cooking… but the one thing that hasn’t changed? The way he can push Violet’s buttons.All her buttons, in all sorts of irritating, sexy ways. Turns out you don’t need to like someone to bang them like a screen door.The rivals-turned-coworkers-turned-bedmates strike up an agreement: no dating, no getting along, just sex. Toe-curling, neighbor-waking, mobile-home-shaking sex.What could go wrong? They don’t even like each other—there’s no way they’ll fall in love.Enemies With Benefits is the first book in the Loveless Brothers series, and can be read as a total standalone. It's for fans of high-heat, low-angst romantic comedies and anyone who enjoys a rivals-to-lovers story. This book also has tons of sibling banter, a workplace romance that smolders, and a small town with tons of charm and quirk. It's steamy, hilarious, and of course it's got a guaranteed HEA. (And yes, it bangs.)This series is perfect for fans of Cate C. Wells, Kate Canterbary, Melanie Harlow, Elizabeth O'Roark, and Claire Kingsley.

"What I Liked:<br/>1. Violet and Eli - I loved both characters. I felt like they both had full personalities, smart, competitive, witty, but not perfect. I enjoyed the banter they had and watching their relationship develop. Their enemies to lovers story was interesting and realistic enough where it supports the plot. Sometimes these romance books have such dramatic changes where it ends up being unbelievable and ruins the story. <br/><br/>2. The Loveless Family - I loved how much we got to see of the Loveless family and their dynamic. Even though the story was about Eli, it still felt like the rest of the brothers were integral to the story and not just names on a page. I know this also helps to setup the rest of the books in the series but I think it was enough to find it interesting and give us insight into what the other stories would be about but not enough to derail the original story.<br/><br/>What I Didn’t Like:<br/>1. Martin plot line - I think everyone knew that he was going to be responsible for the photo of Violet and I loved seeing Eli catch him to show how much he cared about Violet. BUT I wish we had clearer evidence that it was him. The security footage of the mechanical bull didn’t feel damning enough for the photo of Violet."
