Blurb

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an enemies to lovers, surprise baby, standalone romance.

She’s my best friend’s twin sister and off-limits. We grew up together, but she wanted to escape the small-town life and was headed to New York City to chase her dreams.

The night before she leaves, I find her waiting for me in my bed. Telling me to give her something to come home to.

I can’t.

Instead, I kicked her out of my life, instantly making us enemies.

Ten years later, we run into each other while I’m in NYC on business for my ranch, and that night changes everything between us. Not just because I’m determined to right my wrongs, but because she just showed up on my front door three months later…

Pregnant with my baby.

Overall Rating

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love Sinful Enemy. It’s a childhood friends to lovers story with Hazel and Ledger. Ledger is our cowboy MMC. He’s very possessive and protective and he’s also her twin brother’s best friend so it’s a little bit forbidden too. We see that as young individuals, Ledger absolutely breaks Hazel’s heart in the worst way possible. Fast forward a couple years, these two have a chance encounter where they have a one-night stand in New York. After Ledger returns to Wyoming these two have no contact for months. Hazel comes back to their small-town to basically let him know like she’s having their baby. Ledger decides that he’s not letting her get away again.

I love their banter back-and-forth. This story is angsty and I loved that Hazel was not just a soft, doormat that just went with everything Ledger had to dish out. Hazel gave as good as she gets. She’s a boss and she makes him work for her love and to share a life with her. I just loved, loved, loved Hazel.

Ledger is my favorite Beckham sibling so far! TEAM MF LEDGER! What Daddy Ledger wants, Daddy Ledger gets!! He’s always got something slick to say to Hazel lol I loved their dynamic as friends but LOVERS too. I’m obsessed with how Ledger cared for Hazel and how crazy he was about his baby. This book has some super HOTTTT smut and I am not as all mad at chapter 9 👀 IYKYK 🔥🔥🔥

I highly recommend this Beckham Dynasty series to my smut lovers out there but this book can be read as a complete standalone! 🫶🏽

Favorite Quotes

“I knew countless women had touched and been with him, but in that second, it felt like I was the first woman to actually feel him.”

“My lips immediately betrayed me, and I kissed him as if I had a right to, as if he was mine, as if I was his—as if this kiss would change the course of our lives.”

“Sugar…” he rasped against my swollen lips. “What are you doing to me?”

“Hazel, don’t fuck with me.”
“No, I’d much rather you fuck me instead.”

“At the end of the day, the truth was, she meant more to me than I could admit to myself.”

“Payback’s a bitch. Go fuck yourself.”

“She looks great,” Haven admitted. “I mean, really good. Better than she does on the magazine covers, if that’s even possible.”
“Fuck”

“I can’t wait to meet you,” he rasped against my stomach. “I love you so much already.”
Why is he doing this to me?

“Home is where the heart is, and your heart belongs to me.”

“You’re mine, sugar. Just admit it.”

“I want to believe our baby was made out of love. That we had so much love between us that we made this baby out of it. Is that possible?”
“I promise I’ll be the man and father you want me to be. My baby girl is all that matters to me outside of her mother.

“I’m not your girl.”
“I’ll remember that tonight when you’re coming in my mouth.”

“I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you, sugar.” “Then take me.”

“There she is… there’s my girl,”

“You’re mine.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow…”
“So then give me something to come home to.”
