About this audiobook
An enemies-to-lovers spicy romance set in the world of video gaming from the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis—available only in audio!
Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, a.k.a. her arch-nemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why.
When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.
But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.
Ali Hazelwood
Ali Hazelwood is the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of multiple romance novels, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. She recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies her. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).

I found it a little hard to get into this book in the beginning, but once I did I was hooked. It was a short book, obviously, and usually I like a nice long slow burn, but I didn’t feel like anything was lacking. This one’s going on my re-read list! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

No soy la fan #1 de Ali, pero el libro estuvo coqueto para escucharlo en audiolibro mientras trabajaba.
Algo que noté, y me dio mucho coraje, es que no es "Enemies to lovers" como todo sus libros, sino que es un problema de que no exista la comunicación... Y no sé si me gusta.
Viola fue mid y Jesse también... La verdad es que no el mejor libro de Ali, pero tampoco le he dado chance a más... Voy a intentarlo.
El libro solo está disponible para audiolibro, así que creo que eso explica que no le haya metido más sazón como en otros libros que sé que son muy buenos. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

On one hand, I loved this - who doesn't like a good rivals to lovers, being snowed in together while at a work retreat no less. I love that they are both gamers and have this incredible passion for the same series of books that they will stop at nothing to bring to life! That being said, the misunderstanding here legit ended me, it lasted FOR YEARS.
Otherwise, the narration was great and once it spiced, it I was a happy camper LOL. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Loved it from the begining to the end! There's no way to get bored with Ali's enemies to lovers stories anytime soon. It's a simple story of two game developers, going through their prejudices and misunderstandings, as they're trying to get the work of their Dreams on an magnificent winter's resort. The story unfolds without drama, and the narration is clear and marvelous.1 person found this helpful
