Their mothers are the worst matchmakers…

Mark Goldman has never gotten along with Shaina Fogel. Ever. Even when they were in diapers, their bestie mothers wanted them to grow up and get married. Not happening. Mark prefers his quiet, reserved life. But a family wedding is about to change everything Mark thought he knew about his archnemesis.

A week of wedding events with Mark Goldman? Shaina would rather have a week of root canals. Maybe the guy is hot, but for their entire lives, he’s never once acknowledged the fact that she’s hard of hearing. So it comes as a massive surprise when she discovers that Mr. High-and-Mighty and Annoyingly Sexy simply didn’t know. And now she needs his help.

When it’s revealed that the weeklong wedding events are actually a weeklong competition—for a dream vacation—Mark and Shaina do the unthinkable: work together. And the second the animosity begins to fade, something even more electric takes its place. Only now it’s not just an attraction between enemies. And nothing could be worse than the fact that their mothers might have had it right…

This was a great adorable rom-com that’s light-hearted and funny with some steam. One thing that I loved about this book was that Mark comes out as a Demisexual and I think he is the first one that I have read about and Laura did write that part of the story well. Shaina is deaf and wearing hearing aids and seeing that represented in a book isn’t something that you see often. Shaina and Mark have known one another since they were born only being days apart they always didn’t like one another because of a misunderstanding. Years later Mark and Shaina come together again for Mark’s little sister’s wedding. While there they join a competition to win a dream vacation. During the competition, Mark starts to see Shania in a different light, they have a beautiful and emotional journey of growth and being able to understand one another.
