Fall for the sizzling new rivals-to-lovers rom-com read from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.
Josh Carlyle is charming, sexy as hell, and the perfect destination wedding hookup… At least, that’s what I think when I touch down in paradise with four days to pull off a lavish ceremony fit for Hollywood royalty. The groomsman in the next cabana with baby blues and a chiseled jawline that could crack a coconut? He’s the cherry on top of my tropical cocktail, and exactly what I need to shake off my single status and get my head (and, um, other parts) back in the dating game.
Then Josh reveals the truth: he’s vowed to sabotage the big day and send the gold-digging bride running before his uncle even gets to ‘I do’. Suddenly, we’re on opposite sides of the great wedding war, and I refuse to let this happily-ever-after – or my career – go down without a fight.
But Josh plays dirty… and he talks it, too. Even as I scramble to keep his sabotage shenanigans from derailing the happy(ish) couple, I can’t deny the chemistry between us. Sleeping with the enemy is looking awfully tempting…
They say all’s fair in love, war, and wedding planning… But whose happy ending am I chasing here? And can Josh and I turn our rivalry into real romance before it’s too late?
Find out in the sizzling new romance from “the reigning queen of rom-com,” Lila Monroe!
From their first interaction this pair were attracted but both chalked their airport meeting up to a missed opportunity….. until they met again at a celebrity wedding on a Caribbean island.
Hazel is a single mum, way out of the dating game who has a tendency to chatter on and on when nervous – where Josh was concerned she also had a tendency to fall over! She’s overseeing an OTT, mega $$ celebrity wedding but things are not going entirely to plan.
For his part, Josh had been bitten before in a relationship and wasn’t at all expecting his reaction to Hazel. I did like his tenacity when it came to spending time with her and then when he wanted to see where things could go between them.
When Hazel found out Josh’s motivations behind his attendance at the wedding I got why she was so mad, especially as it was her job to make sure the wedding went ahead without a hitch.. Josh did overstep a little but I liked how he realised where and when he’s gone wrong and that he did have regrets.
This pair were funny together. I loved their banter and their heat… Lordy, they were combustible together.
I adored Lottie and how quickly she and Josh connected.
Lila Monroe gave us a fun, laugh inducing, entertains read with Hazel & Josh’s story.
I do have to admit that I laughed a lot when things were going wrong with the wedding and even though I couldn’t quite make up my mind about the bride, my heart hurt for her when the dust settled, so I’m now desperately waiting to find out how Avery’s story goes!!!

Reeve Donovan is Hollywood’s hottest, most charmingly-stubborn director… and the last man I expected to find strolling down Main Street in my sleepy Blue Ridge hometown. Especially since last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure.
With his tongue.
Ahem.
It turns out, my steamy Halloween hookup wants to find the location of my Great-Grandpa Earl’s missing gold… along with everyone else. The Fortune family’s wayward fortune is the stuff of legends, but I always figured it was just that: fiction. Until Reeve and I stumble on a clue that jump-starts our quest… and makes us unlikely partners in our hunt for the gold.
Soon, we’re swept up in a wild race for the treasure, jostling with a reality TV crew, grumpy historians, and my idiot of an ex-husband (don’t ask). I’ve been burned in love before, and have zero intention of falling for this arrogant charmer… Except Reeve has other plans.
He wants me. I want the gold. And my burning loins want… another go-around with Indy’s whip. We’re both used to getting our own way, so what happens when that way leads straight to the bedroom? And can we outwit the other treasure hunters to claim the ultimate prize?

Fraser MacKenzie is handsome, Scottish… and the first man to ever break my heart. We had a whirlwind romance during my study-abroad in England, until it ended in an epic ghosting (his), and untold misery (mine). I haven’t laid eyes on his distractingly broad shoulders in ten years… Until I arrive back on British shores for my dream job consulting on a big new production of Pride & Prejudice, and find… that Fraser is working on the movie, too.
Or rather, he finds me. Naked in the communal shower. Clinging to a hand-towel and my dignity for dear life.
I have zero desire to go strolling back down memory lane with him, even if our burning chemistry would put Lizzie and Darcy to shame. But when I accidentally send our lead actor fleeing on a mysterious mission, Fraser and I have four days to track him down – before the entire movie falls apart.
Embarking on a madcap British road-trip with my ex is a recipe for disaster… and serious temptation. Fraser is more infuriating – and swoon-worthy — than ever, and soon, we’re not so much rekindling an old flame as setting the world (and my burning loins) on fire.
But can we overcome the ghostings of the past to find real love? And will we make it to our missing actor in time to save the movie – and my career?

Jackson Kane is a hot Hollywood A-lister… and the first guy I ever loved. We spent a magical summer together ten years ago, but now he’s off dazzling on the red carpet, and I’m… up to my elbows in cranky plumbing, renovating my grandparents’ old B&B on Cape Cod. He’s the last man I’d expect to run into with a wet T-shirt and a Minions bra (don’t ask) — until it turns out, he’s shooting his latest movie right here in Blackberry Cove.
And he wants me back.
There’s no way I’m getting swept up in his celebrity circus… until my bitchy cousin lays claim to our family heirloom engagement ring, and I need a fake boyfriend to beat her game. A handsome charmer with perfect acting chops… Now where can I find one of those…?
It’s supposed to be just for show, but Jackson is determined to show me our chemistry is just as strong as ever. And boy, is he impossible to resist. But between movie shenanigans, stroppy starlets, and – oh yes – the hoards of paparazzi suddenly trailing our every move, this fake date is more real than I ever imagined.

Ex-pro athlete Austin Banks is cocky, charming, and the ultimate player… at least, that’s what I think when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse for my dream job. Except, it’s not technically me he’s offering it to…
Other Jennifer Walker is the bane of my existence. We may share a name (and a similar email address) but that’s where the similarities end.

Soon, my one little white (not-quite) lie is spiraling, and I’m in way over my head (and out of my underwear).
Can I find a way out of this mistaken identity mix-up? And will Austin’s past keep us from scoring a home-run – on, and off the field? Find out in the hot and hilarious Billionaire Bachelors rom-com from Lila Monroe!

I’m an expert in break-ups. From the slow fade, to extreme ghosting, to, ‘but you never said I couldn’t send pics of my junk to your step-sister on Instagram’ – I’ve seen it all… and built a mini-empire along the way. My blog, the Break-Up Artist, uses my past heartache to help people move on – and avoid weeping on the floor at 3am consuming their body weight in spray cheese and Oreos. Ahem.
Now, I have a new job that could mean the big-time: helping a famous Hollywood it-couple navigate their tricky break-up. Except not everyone wants them Splitsville. The movie studio needs to keep them together to promote their big movie, and they’ve sent someone to make sure I fail in my first VIP gig.
Wes Baxter. Also known as my ex.
Also ALSO known as, the guy who broke my heart so thoroughly, I had to turn myself into a self-help guru just to get over him.
I’m determined to follow my own advice (no drooling over Wes’s perfect abs, or remembering how he rocked my world) but being trapped together at a luxe country retreat isn’t helping things… And neither is Wes’s early-morning naked swim habit. Soon, love is in the air, the sparks between us are hotter than ever, and I’m seriously questioning my ‘no backsies’ policy.
Wes swears he’s changed. He wants to try again, and he’s got an annoyingly sexy way of convincing me. But can second chances really work? Or has the Break-Up Artist finally met her match?

Lila Monroe books are a lot of fun and The Breakup Artist was no different.
I really enjoy second chance romance and the way Wes and Katie’s relationship had ended and her subsequent career made for good reading.
Five years have passed since this pair last saw each other and they are both very different people from who they were when they were together. I liked that both characters had developed as they did and that they could both admit that they still had a spark, even if Katie was hellbent on ignoring it to start with.
Their interactions with Katie’s clients gave us some crazy moments and when she realised that Wes was actually trying to work against her her fiery nature and sass just seemed to enamour her ex even more.
Some communication between them would have helped avoid the drama that came between them but then again, would they have tried as hard and realised what they really wanted if the drama hadn’t occurred?
Even though it’s the fourth book in the Cupids series it could be read as a standalone – which helps as I’ve only read one of the previous three books, even though I have them all on my kindle, but that’s something I’m definitely gonna be resolving ASAP.
