Enemies with Benefits by J.D. Hollyfield Date Released: August 29, 2022 About Enemies with Benefits Ben Love? Yeah, hard pass. It has the power to take everything from you—even yourself. It’s why I stay clear. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of insta-lust. The kind that only lasts as long as the heat does. Come morning? It’s a whole new day. That’s why, when I meet the perfect girl at a wedding, I know, for the next couple of hours, I’m going to love every little succulent inch of her. That’s until she tricks me, leaving me high and dry, literally. It’s now my mission to find out who she is. Makayla My life couldn’t be going any worse. Falling apart would put it mildly. Comparing it to a dumpster fire sounds more accurate. And now, I’m being forced to move back home, a place I swore I would never return to. When the one person I’ve spent my entire life hating walks back into my life, it finally pushes me over the edge. He’s still so arrogant. So full of himsel

Review: Enemies with Benefits by J.D. Hollyfield

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing. Enemies with Benefits  is the latest release from bestselling author J.D. Hollyfield. While this is a standalone, it does share ties with two other books penned by Hollyfield-- Chicks, Man  and Worth the Chase --and the main characters from there plus one recurring peripheral character make up the group of four best friends featured in all three books. While you could read all the aforementioned titles irrespective of each other, I honestly think that reading them in order will provide a more fun-filled, well-rounded experience. When Ben Wallace spots the beautiful woman during his best friend's wedding reception, he doesn't hesitate flirting with her. While her initial reaction to him was less than welcoming, she seems to warm up to him, and off they go to what looks to be a promising hook-up. But then she leaves him high and dry and very much humiliated. It turns out that the woman is none o

Looks like this time, he’s experiencing them too.   The problem is, now I have a son to think of. We’ve been through enough, and I can’t risk his heart… or mine.   Graham My gorgeous new roommate is off limits. Not only is she my best friend’s little sister, she’s a single mom looking for help… not a hookup.   From the moment she’s under my roof, sparks fly, and suddenly the girl I’ve known my whole life becomes the woman I want long term.
