BLURB

Spending the summer on a vineyard sounds idyllic. But my California dream comes with strings attached—forced proximity with the insufferable Beckett Heyward.

He loathes me and okay, I get it, but it’s not my fault his father bequeathed me half of the Sutton Ridge estate.

Not that we actually own it yet. First, we have to meet the conditions—to live and work on the vineyard for three consecutive months. Together.

God help me. I don’t know how I’ll survive three minutes under the scrutiny of his piercing blue gaze let alone three months.

What do I care if my childhood crush has broad shoulders and sculpted abs now?

His roguish good looks and dimpled smile leave me cold. What smile? All he ever does is scowl and brood and march around, barking out orders.

Oh, I know what he’s up to, but good luck trying to cut me out of the inheritance.

Granted, he was his father’s only son, and sure, I’m only the stepdaughter. But I’m not the evil villain in this fairy tale.

I’m just the girl tasked with the impossible—to convince my bitter rival to keep the vineyard.

And to not, under any circumstances, fall in love with Beckett Heyward.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Bitter Rival is a great new start to a new series by Emery Rose Andrews. There is a lot of push and pull between Beckett and Daisy in this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, coworkers story. While the story overall is pretty low-angst, they are complicated characters with emotional baggage, and they both go through quite a transformation.

Beckett and Daisy are given joint ownership of a winery after his dad dies. Technically, they are former stepsiblings, but it’s been quite some time since they’ve seen one another. She’s always felt at home at the winery, and he wants nothing to do with her, his estranged father, or the vineyard. I loved the setting of Sutton Ridge, and the banter between these two characters kept me hooked on the story.

Emery Rose Andrews did a wonderful job of crafting a slow burn, opposites attract story between a heroine who is the sunniest of bright flowers and the surliest of grumpy heroes. I enjoyed Bitter Rival so much, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in the Sutton Ridge series!
