Fun enemies-to-lovers story. Chelsea owns a coffee shop, and John is the coffee-hating digital artist who has the shop next door. They rubbed each other the wrong way from the moment they met. But their best friends, Molly and Callan, are getting married in Las Vegas and want them there. They put their feud on hold for their friends' sake. However, their temporary truce, combined with too much tequila equals waking up married to each other!
I was caught up in this story from the opening pages. Chelsea wakes up hungover and naked and horrified to discover that not only is John in the bed next to her, but they are both wearing wedding rings. There is no chance of what happened in Vegas staying in Vegas because Chelsea also posted the information on her social media pages. Neither understands how it happened because they detest each other. The only thing to do is file for annulment right away.
Matters become complicated when they return home. John's house was damaged by a fire, leaving him with few options for a place to stay during repairs. Chelsea steps up and offers her guest room despite her reservations. Though they initially plan to avoid each other as much as possible, Fate has other plans. Instead, they find themselves drawn to each other. I loved watching them get to know each other. There are sweet scenes, from watching their favorite show together to shopping for a Christmas tree. The sparks of attraction that got them into their marriage become more challenging to resist. It's easy to see them falling in love, but there are obstacles. The biggest one is that John plans to move away after a year, while Chelsea has put down roots and has no plans ever to leave.
When their annulment plans run into a snag, they must decide whether to stick to the original plan or make their marriage real. I wanted to shake both when they avoided confessing their feelings and continued with what they thought the other wanted. I loved their big moment at the end, as John finally took a chance. The scene at the Sutton's Christmas party was sweet, emotional, and romantic. The epilogue was a terrific wrap-up for the book.
