There’s a fine line between lust and hate.
I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year
transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond
hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem.
His mouth is.
And the stupid things that come out of it.
But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his
damnedest to take care of me…
Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on.
And it doesn’t involve talking.
I’ve despised Drew since I met him years ago. One weekend
can’t change us that much, can it?
Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.
Except he left me a little keepsake.
And in nine months, I’ll have a surprise for Portland’s most
notorious player.

***5 ‘Mischief Managed’ Stars***
When I saw that this duo was doing another book together that was connected to All About the D, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was all in. Didn’t need to read the description. Nothing. ALL. IN. And then I read the description and it took me a minute to remember just WHO Drew was and I’ll admit, I groaned a little and rolled my eyes because that man drove me Batshit Crazy, but I was still all in. And all I can say is I LOVED this book. BOTH Drew and Kendall still drove me crazy, but the sweet, swoony, eye rolling moments were SOO worth it and the smexy was HAWT, and don’t even get me started on the ovary exploding ones *Dopey sigh* ! I devoured this book and wanted more even when there were no more words to read.
So, Drew. I wanted to gut him with a spoon when I first met him in All About the D. I did. But this Drew? Drew 2.0 was still aggravating at times with his edit button being unrepairable and all, but the man really us a sweetheart. He’s perfectly, imperfect with a golden and genuine heart. Kendall is a force to be reckoned with. Hard working, intelligent and sassy. She has no problem standing her ground and telling it like it is. But her heart has been bruised and it contributes, at times, the sharp edges that surround her.
No lie. These two drove me batshitcrazy, but watching as they got to know each other and truly SEE each other was so worth it. I loved their bantering, snipping and how, once they let their walls down just a little, that they actually complemented the other in the best of ways. Their road was definitely not an easy one, the whole pregnancy thing was definitely a twist neither saw coming, but the big ‘ole wrench that does get thrown into the mix couldn’t have happened at the most inopportune time. Thankfully, the grovelling was all kinds of swoon worthy and I loved how everything worked out for them.
This was such a fun read, I had a difficult time putting it down. The writing was engaging and seamless and I loved the dual first person POV’s. As for the supporting cast of characters. I loved catching up with Josh and Evie and finding out what they’ve been up to, Kendall’s parents were awesome, but Bee is definitely the favorite.
So, if you love a good enemies to lovers romance, with an “Oops, I’m pregnant” situation tossed into the mix, then this is a definite must read for you!

Lex Martin
Lex writes contemporary romance, the sexy kind with lotsa
angst, a whole lotta kissing, and the hot happily ever afters. When she's not
writing, she lives a parallel life as an English teacher.
She loves printing black and white photos, listening to
music on vinyl, and getting lost in a great book. Bitten by wanderlust,
she's lived all over the country but
currently resides in the City of Angels with her husband and twin daughters.
Lex is represented by Kimberly Brower of Brower Literary
& Management.
Leslie McAdam
Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little
Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small
orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small
children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves - even if it means
letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a
young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it's
Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing
about the men you fantasize about. She's unapologetically sarcastic and
notoriously terrible at comma placement.
Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all
things. When she's not in the writing cave you'll find her fangirling over
Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of
outdoors on canvas.
