OMG, I love, love, love this book! I always jump right in when it comes to Elizabeth O’Roark’s creations. She is an auto-buy author to me and her works just click with my taste in romance novels. The Summer I Destroyed You was no exception, I simply adored every second of this story! Sexy and smart with sensational banter, fantastic chemistry and a gorgeously emotional love story, this enemies to lovers romance absolutely blew me away and I loved every moment of the ride and couldn’t put it down.
After years away, Emmy comes back to Elliott Springs planning to destroy the whole town. Carrying years of trauma associated with high school, she has only one goal in mind: revenge. Enter Liam, the only person who can derail her plans.
On the surface, Emmy is cold and heartless, yet feisty when she needs to be, and not particularly likeable. But there’s something about her that intrigued me. And now? She has my whole heart. There is so much more to this woman than meets the eye. She's such a complex and yet endearing character. There is so much hurt she's been through and as you peel back each layer of what made her into the woman she is today, the more you fall for her. Her complete opposite, Liam is a charmingly irresistible player. He’s open, funny, sweet and flirtatious. The way he works to earn Emmy’s trust is what book boyfriend dreams are made of! Antagonistic and adversarial with an edge of attraction, their chemistry sizzled off the page. Every encounter between them seemed to bump up the heat beneath the pot of their simmering lust. When they weren’t throwing barbs and bantering back-and-forth, they were practically scalding each other with the heat burning between them. Their relationship was an intense, a raging storm of emotion and passion, and I simply couldn’t get enough. These two were absolutely everything. I couldn't get enough of them together. I loved their journey almost as much as I loved their banter. Liam is the calm to Emmy’s storm and I loved how they balanced each other.
This couple had their work cut out for them to get to their happily ever after. They had big obstacles in their path, and they had to sift through some heavy baggage to get there. Elizabeth takes us along for the ride with an emotional and hard-fought romance that was as hot as it was emotional. I was positively enthralled by this love story, and I devoured this book with heart-racing anticipation in a day.
