GENT: An Enemies to Lovers Standalone Romance (#BitterSweetHeat Book 1)

Not only is the cover smoking hot, but the content inside 100% flammable!! Gah, Trey's dirty mouth combined with Raven's adventurous spirit sure makes for some interesting sexy times! My kindle is still smoking from this one.But putting aside the sexy content and a heroine who's ready anytime and anywhere, this is Harloe Rae's best book to date! The writing, plot, and overall execution is superb. I enjoyed getting to know the main characters, but also got a kick out of the secondary characters. I'm shipping a few of them really hard and can't wait to see what the author does with their stories!Here's what I loved: Trey is so no nonsense. He basically says whatever he thinks whether it's hurtful or not. He's crass and rude, but underneath the tough, dirty guy, he starts to soften. Raven changes everything for him when she moves to town. It's one of my favorites things about the book. You can see the character growth clearly. They each have past hurts and present issues, but are able to overcome them all and find their happy place.Gent is a quick, fun, read that's sure to please. I Loved It!!

Gent is a captivating enemies to lovers romance. My favorite troupe! It's so freaking amazing, I couldn't put it down, not that I wanted to.Raven is so strong and independent. After watching her mother carelessly skip from man after man, and place after place, she is determined to put her roots down. Moving to Garden Grove to get her baking on courtesy of her college friend. She immediately falls in love with the small town.Trey, he is my favorite kind of man. Rude, doesn't give two $&*^$ about anything or anyone. Crass and unapologetic. Stricken with huge loss early in life, he pushes everyone away (I absolutely love it, again my favorite type of book boyfriend).Trey is instantly thrown off when he meets Raven. Raven, after hearing a few details of his life, sees the damage in him and wants so bad to be able to help.Gent seriously is one of my favorite reads of 2018. Its packed with everything that makes you want to fall in love with the characters and leaves you enamoured and wanting more!

Holy Gent! And he certainly isn't one. What the hell did I just read? Harloe Rae has stepped it up 100 notches and taken her writing to a completely new level of H.O.T! Ladies ... get the ice, a fan, and the cold shower ready because you're going to need it for this one. I went in prepared for all the sweetness that Harloe usually delivers, but what I got was a healthy dose of habanero heat laced with extra spicy.This book has all the feels, the delicious angst that I love, along with being insanely sexy. The chemistry between Trey and Raven was off the charts amazing and their characters were perfectly developed. I loved the story ARC and the character's ARCs as well. You won't go wrong with this one so get those itchy one-click fingers ready.

Trey, a scorching mix of hot grumpy, difficult and irresistible, ends up smack in the middle of Raven's life when he doesn't even want to be there.Hell, he'd rather stay away from her sweet, kind, beautiful, and sexy-as-eff all-around awesomeness any day of the week. Raven SO isn't his type.Because Trey's type is one-night-quickie bombshells he can get out of his bed first thing in the morning. And here Raven is, dancing around town making cupcakes?Cupcakes as delicious as she is.As fricking sweet too.She literally traipsed her perky butt into his town!Can someone please get her out of his hair???Trey is disarmingly dirty, a bad boy with a heart so hard he needs it massaged to come alive for a woman. In most novels, this type of book boyfriends meet hardcore, take-no-prisoner women, someone tough as nails who forces him into submitting to love. Well, here's the kicker that I LOVED about Gent: Raven isn't your stereotypical hard**s heroine. No:Spoiler alert: this woman doesn't only win him over by being her sweet self, but she drives him crazy for her too. Which brings me to my question for the author: how did you pull that one off in such an adorable, believable way?Needless to say, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to smile, fan themselves, and aww out loud. Enjoy, readers, because I think you just stumbled upon your new summer read.

This is the first negative feedback I have given. I don't write reviews unless it is a 5 star book. The relationship between the H/h was not understandable. He was verbally abusive to her and it was not understandable why she offered friendship multiple times when he rejected her. His last surprise to show his love occurred in the final chapter. He was able to "pop her anal cherry" and then they lived happily ever after- WOW. I read 1 and 2 star reviews to determine if there is this type of play because it isn't for me. Some authors are very nice to include it in their description of the book so I can avoid purchasing it to begin with. This author didn't do so. I won't be purchasing other books by Harloe Rae.

Gah. Harloe Rae once again kills me with the perfection of her writing. Only she could make a hero that had me hating him and falling in love with him at the same time. Seamlessly blending together angst and sweetness in a way I’ve never fallen so hard for before I was captivated by Gent from the start. I adored this book! It’s got heat (SO. MUCH. HEAT.) It made me want to yell. It made my heart melt.I was so convinced I was going to stay strong and not give Trey any slack. I knew he was going to be a jerk, and man, is he ever but the more I read the more I saw what Raven saw all along. There’s an amazing man hiding behind those walls. Raven herself is pretty darn incredible. She’s got a huge heart and sees beyond the exterior. The sparks fly right off the bat with a back and forth that builds the tension to explosive levels.With chemistry that’s off the charts comes explosive heat that will definitely have you needing to cool down. That heat only adds to the heart that is packed in this story, where just like Raven you find yourself falling in love with a man who is definitely no gentleman.

This book is soo swoon worthy. it literally grips you from the first page. The ups and downs that go on through this book have your heart melting and can even bring the tears out. Loved this book cant wait to read about the other characters. Amazing again

Funny , sweet but still hot ! This has all the feels. I read it within a day pretty much ignoring all else as I had to know...Great way to spend the day and if anyone meets Trey in real life send him my way !. Can't wait to read the next one .

Did not realise the main characters were in their early 20s. Might have enjoyed it more 10 years ago. Good writing but didn't hold my interest. If looking for mature well developed characters give this a miss.

Unbelievable story, can't wait to read the next book in the series. But I'm sure there will be up and downs along the way for trey and raven.

An enjoyable read
