REVIEW - FRENEMIES AND LOVERS by Michelle McCraw


Andrew was happy working for someone else and climbing the ladder despite his mother's wishes otherwise. After his father died of a heart attack at the age of thirty-nine he was determined not to follow down the same road. His father may have built a company, but Andrew didn't need the stress. He liked having the weekends to himself. 

When his father died everything fell on Andrew's shoulders taking care of his grieving mother and his two younger sisters solidified that that was not the life he wanted. Been there, done that.

"Treat him like a god, my a$$." He overheard the woman mutter under her breath as she headed for the bar. When she sat back down at the high-top table with her companions he realized he knew the face of one of the women. He had had a crush on her since he first saw her when he was a teenager and since she was no longer wearing a wedding ring. He wasn't a teenager anymore and he wasn't letting the opportunity pass him by.

Carly is standing before the door of the exquisite mansion waiting to give Audrey Hayes a piece of her mind and hoping to avoid her son in the process. Three months ago she had walked out of an empowerment seminar in anger for wasting her money that basically told them to have empowerment they needed to treat their man as a god. The only thing good about that seminar was her new friends.

Friends who had convinced her to let Andrew treat her like a goddess. And boy had he ever, but before he could wake up she had snuck from his bed in the middle of the night. She was only here because Audrey had just lost her a client. A client she much needed as she was rebuilding her life after her divorce and building her styling business.

But if anyone found out about her night with Andrew she would be ruined. Audrey would make sure of it... especially since Andrew was twelve years her junior. The scandal would ruin her and her business.

I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. I would suggest you read the FREE prequel Fashion and Passion before starting this series. It is not only a lead into Carly and Andrew's story, but the friendship between the women who made a pact to support each other.

This book is steamy hot and full of action. It is a reverse age-gap romance as Carly struggles to start a business after divorce, but her insecurities as a woman in her 40s and the stigma of falling for a younger man. 

Their story has some unexpected twists and turns as Andrew tries to convince Carly that age really is just a number. Highly recommend!
