Flirting with the Frenemy (Bro Code, #1)

by Pippa Grant

Mission: Survive my best friend's wedding, where I must play nice with my ex and his perfect new girlfriend.

Strategy: Bring the hottest fake boyfriend on the planet.

Target: Grady Rock. Master Baker. Dimples. Muscles. The unicorn of fake boyfriends.

Complication: Wyatt Morgan. My brother's best friend. My sworn enemy. Military man. Sexy as hell single dad. The man I let into my panties for one night of hot hate sex after my ex dumped me before my life fell apart.

And the man who just scared off that perfect fake boyfriend.

By pretending to be my real boyfriend.

I can roll with this though. What's the harm in Flirting with the Frenemy if it helps me get the job done?

Complete my mission and move on.

Or so I thought.

Until Wyatt kisses me again and I start feeling things I shouldn't.

The thing about weddings...nothing ever goes as planned.

Flirting with the Frenemy is a rollicking fun romantic comedy featuring a single dad military man, an irritatingly attractive blast from his past, pirates, cursing parrots, and a wedding gone wild. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.

Finding the right time to be together...

I started reading Flirting with the Frenemy a little hesitantly. I have read one Pippa Grant story before and while I didn't hate it, I did have some problems with it. I think you have to be in the right mood for stories like this one, and I obviously was in the perfect mood today. I read it in one day and I haven't done that in donkey's years. I was sucked into the dynamics of this couple, the storyline kept me entertained from beginning to end, and the additional characters made the story come alive. I was left satisfied...well mostly satisfied. I'm hoping we get to see more of this little family in future instalments.

I actually liked the flow of this one. While in other reads I've hated the ... *that was a mistake* ... when the character gets intimate the first time, in this case, I knew instantly that it wasn't the right time for Ellie and Wyatt. It was a little sad what happens straight after, but again, the growth that happened because of it, made them both stronger. When they finally get together, you know they're finally in a place to work through their problems.

Horrible of me to say, but I knew that Wyatt's career was going to cause troubles. Not everyone can be married successfully to a serviceperson. The moving, separations, and stress that comes with the job are not easy. With one unsuccessful marriage under his belt, I understood his hesitancy to go back for more. What he eventually comes to realise is that he just needs to find the right person for it all to work. In Ellie, he realised that they were both willing to make sacrifices to successfully navigate their relationship.

I admit the humour can at times be a little OTT, but for some reason, it didn't bother me today. I had a good laugh in between the eye-rolls so it wasn't all bad.

I'm glad I gave Pippa Grant another go and I loved that this story distracted me from the trials and tribulations in our world today. I am definitely going on in this series, and I've already locked and loaded America's Geekheart.
