When I’m offered the chance to leave New York to live in London for three months, I can’t pack my suitcase fast enough.

As soon as I touch down I’m obsessing over red telephone boxes, palaces and all the black cabs. But my favorite place is the tube. It’s wall-to-wall hot British men in suits.

When I’m offered a temporary job working for a barrister, I say, sign me up. On my first commute into work, it’s a total accident when I lose my balance and fall against the most handsome Brit alive. He’s as charming as James Bond and as suave as Mr. Darcy. I want to lick tea from his hard abs and listen to his accent all night long.

Turns out Mr. Handsome is my new boss. And his attitude isn’t as hot as his gorgeous face, broad shoulders and tight ass. He’s brooding, short-tempered and the most arrogant man I’ve ever met.

As we’re fighting, out of nowhere he kisses me. And I’m pretty sure I see fireworks over Big Ben and hear God Save the Queen. I wasn’t looking for the fairytale but I might have found my knight in shining armor.

The problem is he lives an ocean away.

A stand-alone, enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine romance.

I had this one pre-ordered and gleefully started reading it as soon as it hit my kindle.

Louise Bay took us back to London and gave us another delightfully British hero that could be exasperating while being irresistible. Alexander and Violet mastered the art of arguing as foreplay. I think if it hadn't been for the fact that Violet didn't let Alexander walk all over her, these two never would have figured out their relationship.

Violet had issues in the romance department but Alexander discovered he was willing to fight for her when otherwise he might have walked away. Both of them needed that fight in order to get over their pasts and figure out what their future looked like.
