Here is D.J. Jamison's latest and highly anticipated "Knockin' Boats." It's the third novel in the new Swallow Cove series.
["Sawyer
There was a time Ash and I were unseparable.
When I moved high schools, we went from friends to rivals. I could deal with that. But when my girlfriend dropped me for him? We became enemies overnight.
The Ozarks is a big lake, but somehow he's always in my way. First at a flashy rival boat company, where we're always knockin' boats on booze cruises. Sometimes literally.
Now at the newly redeveloped Swallow Cove resort where I'm based.
Ash has got some hair-brained idea to run a food boat for the resort. It's a silly fad that will never last. All flash and no substance, like him.
But now there's no avoiding the guy. Or his annoying face and annoying hair and annoying smiles always flashing my way.
Ash has always gotten whatever he wanted. My sports trophies. My ex-girlfriend. A job with *my* friends.
As tension mounts between us and the heat of anger threatens to boil over into something else, something new and surprising, I start to
Will he get me too?"]
Friends-to-lovers is awesome, but friends-to-enemies-to-lovers is somehow better (even through the heart-ache and angst and pining). The history, even the bad parts, make the chemistry all that much more beautiful (and hot). Plus, these two have been dancing around each other for two whole books now; it's time for their HEA (and Cash's (with Declan)).
And that decade's old argument/disagreement that ruined their friendship? Soooooo fueled by anger and hurt (not between/because of them) and teen hormones mixed with even more anger and hurt (between/because of them). It cooouuuld have been resolved a long time ago but that would have required talking it out and letting out go of the past.
But after they did resolve their anger?!?! Holy. Shit. (and even before a formal apology-slash-resolution) They were utterly in lust (and in love) from the very beginning (probably way before the very beginning), and they only fell harder the longer they let the chemistry flame.
I really thought these two would end up making me sob at some point (they just have that third-act-break-up (aka, unable to communicate when Feelings get too high vibe), but they didn't.
