Lady Estelle Foxbrooke, daughter of the eccentric Duke of Somerset, has been working for years to save the family estate from bankruptcy. Her latest undertaking is the launch of a music and arts festival in partnership with a professional events management firm. The only problem? The firm has just been sold, and the new CEO is none other than her twin brother Henry's former co-worker and longtime enemy, James Hunter-Savage. Can Estelle and James put their feelings aside long enough to get the festival off the ground, or will their animosity doom the endeavor to failure?
Despite their rocky start, James and Estelle were absolutely perfect for each other. Like Estelle, I had a lot of preconceived notions about James based on his behavior in previous books of the series, but he was keeping a lot of secrets and wasn't everything she - or I - thought he would be. I loved their flirty, witty banter and the hilarious interactions between their families, as well as Estelle's independence and ability to advocate for herself and what she wanted. Most importantly, James and Estelle's scorching chemistry had me captivated from the very first page, and I was rooting for them the whole way.
Overall, I adored "The Upper Crush" and highly recommend it for all
fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I can't wait to get my
hands on the next book of the series!

About "The Upper Crush"
He wasn’t banking on someone else taking the reins…
Lady Estelle Foxbrooke is done cleaning up the mess left by her wild parents. She’s got a plan: take the reins and save the family estate her way. But then she’s saddled with a business partner she’s hated all her life. He’s her twin brother’s worst enemy and looms in her path like a six-foot-four hurdle.
After a catastrophic business failure, rich and successful James Hunter-Savage has watched his dream life in London crash and burn. Forced to ditch the city for the Somerset countryside, he’s now living with his parents and expected to work with the infuriatingly attractive Estelle. She’s sharper than a whip, pushes all his buttons, and seems determined to break him.
As Estelle and James jockey for position, their explosive personalities combust into passion, sending Estelle’s plans to the edge of ruin. With James’s flimsy reputation in tatters, and the biggest event on the Foxbrooke calendar on the brink of collapse, will they realise their love is worth fighting for? Or are their hearts and hard work heading for the ultimate fall?
The Upper Crush is a laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers, steamy, standalone, small town romantic comedy with a fiery country girl giving a cocky city boy a run for his money. No cheating or cliffhanger, but snort-laughs, swoons and a deliciously happy ending guaranteed in this sparkling and sizzling romcom!
