About this listen

A new, sexy standalone from number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland.

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.

Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.

Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.

Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history.

Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.

For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.

Until the day the woman who started the feud died - and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.

Now I’m stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.

As usual, it didn’t take long for us to be at each other’s throats.

Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good. We were fire and ice.

But that shouldn’t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

Totally awesome read

This took me a while to read as I had several books on the go but finally gave it a read. Was not disappointed.
Writing and descriptions are brilliant and of course sebastian York is the best. And let's not forget Andi Arndt.

4.5 stars

The Rivals is a really excellent audio book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought both narrators were absolutely perfect, and really added depth to the characters.

This story at first appears to be a classic enemies-to-lovers novel, but actually it's Weston and Sophia's families that are the enemies. From the outset, Weston and Sophia have spark, an instant connection and a lot of heat. They have history together, and also some personal baggage to overcome, but as the story continues we begin to feel their connection develop into something more deep and meaningful.

This novel is upbeat, high on verbal sparring, full of chemistry and is an excellent, engaging, entertaining and enjoyable story.

This is a complete standalone story told in dual pov.

A SEXY ENEMIES TO LOVERS ROMANCE

A sexy, enemies-to-lovers standalone

Another fabulous book by Vi Keeland

I listened to The Rivals in audio narrated by Sebastion York ad Andi Arndt as always these two narrators really brought the characters to life.

I loved it. This book has more than enough to keep you interested. I love the push and pull, the hotness, the humor, and the history behind the family feud.

Weston is a hot sexy laid-back kind of guy and Sophia is a fire businesswoman. Both of them have never been good enough in their father's eyes, something they both have in common so when they are both thrown together at the same hotel its fire and ice until the ice melts and there's a different kind of heat.

A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I could not stop listening

This is definitely one of my favourites from Vi Keeland. I could not stop listening, this one captured me from the first chapter. I wish all Vi Keeland’s books were narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt as they really do such an amazing job and I love listening to them. A definite must read/listen!

Very satisfying

At the beginning I was “hmmm am I even going to like these two?!” But the story grows, the characters deepen and I really like them and wanted good things as I understood more. As always the narrators did a great job. (Usually I cringe at UK accents in audio books, but they did great in the brief moments they were used!) it’s when I listen to other narrators I really appreciate just how good these two are!!

Decent

I enjoyed listening to this. Probably won’t stick with me and be memorable, but it was good all the same.
