Anything You Can Do by R.S. Grey Review
5 Smooches
Synopsis
Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy.
It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he.
The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard.
I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare.
The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if he’s filling me with passion or poison. Every fleeting touch is perfect torture. With every stolen kiss, my walls crumble a little more. After all this time, Lucas knows exactly how to strip me of my defenses, but I’m in no hurry to surrender.
Knowing thy enemy has never felt so good.
Review
At this point I know going into an R.S. Grey book that I am going to enjoy it. I love her wit, her characters and her style of writing. She has yet to really let me down and for that I will forever read anything she puts out. And boy am I glad that I took this book. Anything You Can Do is a fun enemies to lovers story with a dash of angst and a whole lot of love. I laughed at the fun antics and the pull that Lucas and Daisy.
“Can you kill someone with a kiss? I think that’s what he’s doing–slaying me with his mouth.”
Lucas and Daisy have a long standing rivalry and haven’t seen or talked to each other in eleven years. But now they have both returned to their hometown as doctors fighting to take over the local practice. They are forced to work closely together and the line between love and hate is easily blurred.
‘Beds and candles and stripteases are for people with time and boredom. What we have is hunger.’
There was so much to love in this book. The banter. The sex. The town. The hijinks. I loved it all. At times Daisy read a bit immature but then I remembered that I am a thirty four year old mom of three and I am often childish, so who am I to judge. The story pulled me in and I was quickly lost to the art that RS Grey gave us. I cannot wait to see what she delivers next.
