Blurb:
Top three reasons why sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea...

1. She’s my fiercest rival.
2. She’s also my fiery ex.
3. We’re going up against each other in a stiff competition to win the hottest new client on the market.


And yet, I’d like to be up against the wall in a stiff competition to get her to call out my name.

Time to double down on my resistance to her tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, sexy-as-sin attitude. The same attitude I find irresistible.

That’s a big problem, because in this race to nab the client, I run into Haven in the hotel, on the beach, in the guest quarters late at night.

Hate sex would be a terrible idea.

Except, it’s the complete opposite, and now we can’t keep our hands off each other.

Trouble is, I’m not so sure it’s hate I’m feeling anymore.

And that’s the biggest reason sleeping with the enemy you’re falling for is a bad idea -- my job literally depends on never letting her into my heart.

 


Excerpt:
Her hand slides down my back, and it feels reverent. Her touch does so many things to me. It turns me on, it riles me up, and it sends me soaring. And now, it makes my heart thunder like a wild animal in my chest. One that wants to be with her, next to her, beside her.

 “More,” I whisper. “Give me more of your kisses.”

“Take them all,” she tells me.

 I am ravenous for her. I don’t know if I will ever be sated.

 Not with her scent in my head, her body curled around me, and her kisses on my lips and in my soul.

We might have come in here for one final hurrah, but as we kiss like we can’t ever get enough, this doesn’t feel like the last time for either of us. It doesn’t seem like the end run down the slopes.

I should keep that thought to myself. But when I’m with her, when she’s close like this, I can’t think rationally. It’s too hard to lie or to pretend like she’s the enemy.

My rival, yes.
The competition, yes.
But she’s also the woman I can’t quit.

The woman I don’t want to quit.

 

My review: 5 stars!
Lauren Blakely books are like my favorite dessert- absolutely sinful, hard to resist, and so satisfying!  She my author-I-put-down-all-other-books-in-progress-for. I adore the worlds she creates- it's so fun how the characters all tie together, yet all her books can stand alone. Overnight Service has it all- second chance, enemies-to-lovers, and amazing chemistry set in the world of sports agents. So interesting! Being a major baseball fan, I love that the book opened at a game in Yankee stadium- such a fun location. Told mostly from Josh's POV (no one does the male mind like Blakely), Haven's chapters are fun too- some internal musings with some rules for herself and hilarious text conversations. I haven't listened to the audiobook yet, but can't wait- it has quite the all star cast of 10!
