Opposites Attract: An Enemies to Lovers, Neighbors to Lovers Romantic Comedy (First Comes Love Book 1)

Anyone who's close to me knows that enemies and lovers trope were made for me! So obviously this title caught my sights and what's more it was freaking free! I really love Camilla Isely's books and had reviewed one of hers in my page earlier. And with high hopes I jumped into this one. And she did not disappoint. One of the most beautifully written pieces of romantic comedy providing equal parts of heart clenching and LMFAO scenes ! I really wish everyone could see how wonderful this story is. The characters and the style of writing were amazing. It delivered the absolute hate , the doubt and the love perfectly through out . I though wouldn't have wanted the title of the book to be so obvious. Please make more books like these for the soft hearted people out there like me! And I'll be sure to read it.

Vivian and Luke are very different personalities but between funny moments and fights they click. Luke's character is adorable. One you can root for. Teegan Vivian's daughter is just good.

I just loved this book. It was funny, romantic and emotional. I wished it would go on and on. Opposites attract... they really do...

Heart warming sweet romantic story... I like the characters and their backstory.. Read it if u like light rom coms.

Are you looking for a story to put a smile on your face, even days after you've finished it? If so, grab yourself a copy of this hilarious book - I'm still giggling at some memories of it days after finishing reading it!After an antagonistic first few encounters, Vivian and Lucas find themselves working in offices next door to each other . . . Everything about them seems to be about opposites -even their job roles are the antithesis to each other as she's a divorce lawyer and he's a couple's therapist! When he helps reconcile some of Viv's clients and even her daughter, Tegan, seems to be turning to him for advice, Viv wants him gone and he wants the corner office she beat him to renting - and his suggested bet could be just the ticket! Get ready for laugh out loud encounters, some very strange dates, a teen who will prove as determined as her Mom and a heartwarming romance to leave you laughing. Told from alternating viewpoints, you really get to know both Viv and Luke and they're both brilliant characters.I suspect you might have noticed that I thoroughly enjoyed this fun read. The couple's antics, their misunderstandings and dates all had me grinning. There's everything from a fire escape rescue to flat earthers, best friends matchmaking and peers exerting pressure in this delightful read. I highly recommend you grab yourself a copy, especially if you want to escape into a fun read to take you away from our current lockdown reality. Actually the epilogue is very different again and just adds another dimension to the story - and lots more laughter, too!Thank you for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

Never has the phrase opposites been so completely apt. We have the divorce lawyer and the couples counseller, and their outlooks on almost everything seem to differ at least on the surface.From their initial meeting which is rather amusing, this keeps up at a pace with them butting heads at every opportunity. They end up in offices next to each other, it turns out their best friends have just got engaged and are wanting to matchmake.In fact they persuade Vivian and Lucas to join the dating agency they used and we are treated to all manner of hideous dates that were of course rather entertaining to the outside observer, or reader!The story is told from alternating viewpoints, so we really get to know our two protaganists, and I absolutely loved both of them. And Vivian's teenage daughter Tegan who is rather key to the story and in getting Vivian to see past her first impressions of Lucas.This is Camilla Isley at her very best, its funny, its touching, it has threads of a tricky storyline, and the banter and chemistry between to the two leads is rather evident from the beginning and there is even an unusual epilogue!It's just a sheer pleasure to read, and like I find with all of this authors books, its a very quick and easy book to read, and I read it in two sittings, and the only time I was parted from it, was while I was asleep! (The hazards of starting a book at 2am).This is just so entertaining and I loved it a lot.

First impressions are everything, aren’t they?Well, let’s just say that Lucas and Vivian don’t get off to a very good start. Pfft... Understatement of the century! *snorts*Could these two BE any more different? (Channelling my best Chandler Bing impersonation – *shrugs* it seemed appropriate.) Lucas, couples’ therapist extraordinaire, slightly cantankerous when donut deprived, and dog lover. Vivian, kick-ass divorce lawyer, slightly jaded when it comes to matters of the heart, single mum, and cat lover.Things escalate quickly when a bet ensues (dating vs. office space – trust me, all will be revealed) along with the hilarity. Talk about having a knack for pushing each other’s buttons! I referred to these as the ‘red mist interludes’ *smirks*.Vivian’s daughter, Tegan, unexpectedly brings them together where they have to find a way to get along for the greater good (cryptic much?!). What is as plain as the nose on my face takes a while to sink in for this feisty duo. What’s that phrase?! ‘They doth protest too much.’ *snorts* Oh yeah *nods* That good! I think they were enjoying the banter too much.I really enjoy Camilla Isley’s writing and I was once again sucked into the characters’ world she creates. OA is a quick, fun, and flirty read which touched my heart and made me giggle and smile. Romcom staples in my book!Also, am I the only one who can’t get Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul out of their head?!*shrugs* Huh? Just me then...

If you are looking for a rom-com that provides a wonderful escapism read then this is one that should be on your list.Lucas and Vivienne don't exactly hit it off on their first encounter. She barges past him to get on the subway and he ends up missing out on the office he had his eye on. As if his day hadn't got off to the ideal start, it then seems to get worse.Having offices next door to each other doesn't make for the calmest and relaxing work area. But as the title suggests, opposites attract, but do they really. It seems that every time these two meet there is a barb. They do bury the hatchet in the form of a bet, the winner gets the corner office, the other leaves the building.Now while there is some animosity between the two, they are adults and a third party almost forces them to be civil to each other. There are some serious moments and this adds more of a depth to the story. Overcoming problems of past and present is something that the author has weaved into her story.I really enjoyed this tale and devoured it easily in one evening. Quite a quick read but one that did have me sniggering as well as giving me a lovely heartwarming feel. One for those looking for a bit of escapism in their reading and one for the rom-com fans.

For most part, it's an easygoing fun read. Funny in parts and frustrating in others.Lucas meets Vivian on a day where everything goes wrong for him. Because of her! It turns out that they have to work in the same office building. They move in on the same day, and Vivian makes matters worse by refusing to allow him easy access. This is where things go from bad to worse and they become sworn enemies.There are disagreements, sarcasm and humour. Lucas is an all round decent guy. Vivian has trust issues and her attitude is awful. She is very hard to like. Overall, it's a good storyline where enemies become lovers.
