The first boy I ever hated was Jax Bridges.
The first man I loved was his best friend.
My plan was to meet a boy, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
That ended when my boyfriend died and left me half of his business.
Now, his best friend and I are business partners.
Thereβs just one problem: We hate each other.
Jax and I have been rivals since childhood.
He wants me out of the business, but itβs all I have left.
The more time we spend together, the more we question if we were ever rivals at all.
Will my last love be his best friend?
Or will we destroy each other?

My Review
Get Ready To Cry Yβall!! Only Rivals, book one in the Only You series and a second generation spin off of the Blue Beech and Twisted Fox seriesβ is an enemies to lovers, second chance, love after loss romance. With plenty of angst, steam, and all the feels.
Only Rivals is the journey of Jax and Amelia. His exβ¦ err, almost ex? However the cookie crumbles. His recently dead best friend’s fiancΓ©e. This complex dynamic plays such an intricate part of the story. I promise itβs a lot less Jerry Springer and really emotional and engaging to read. Jax is so angry and his character is frustrating at times you want to just shake him but this big tough guy is struggling with some big emotions and as frustrated as I was with him I felt for him so badly too. I needed his vitriol to end though. The level of devastation I was feeling every time he was spewing words of hatred and blame at Amelia was really high. I was like I canβt take it anymore. PLEASE Make it stop!!
But Amelia. Holy Moly. I canβt even imagine. Any of it. But Ms. Ferrell was able to bring in the emotional lows that we needed to connect to Ameliaβs character. To sympathize with her. To grieve, to process, to begin to heal right along with her. I really liked her journey. I will be honest my heart literally shattered at times with the hateful things Jax said to her. I was like how much more can one person possibly be broken? It was brutal to read. But that is what made it so much more rewarding when he finally had his awakening and turned his attitude around.
This definitely is steamy and has tension for days. They have plenty of what I call β banter oβhateβ back and forth. They have chemistry which is ready to strike as hot as their tempers when they get near each other. They both are suffering with so much hurt that it’s understandable they would have the ability to actually help each other heal. They have a shared history so in my opinion they seemed like they were always soulmates who just needed to fulfill another purpose. Maybe someone else needed them more for a bit. But in the end, inevitably those who are supposed to be will always find their way back to each other.Β 4.5 Stars βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈπ«
