Excerpt:

Burying the hatchet wasn’t an option in my family. Even if I wanted to, which I didn’t, it wasn’t allowed. My dad would disown me completely and make me change my last name before he ever forgave a Russo.

Glancing across the competition space, I spotted James, his dark hair framing his two-week-old stubble as he smiled at a group of women, who, instead of working their own wine booths, looked all too willing to leave and take him to bed if he asked. Not that I cared what James did in his bed or with whom, but damn that facial hair. It would be the death of me. I’d spent one too many nights dreaming of the way it would feel as he dived between my thighs or as he kissed me, brushing across my cheek. That man sure knew how to keep his beard in check—always perfectly trimmed, fading just right toward the top where it met his hairline. It annoyed me as much as it turned me on, which was saying a lot since James was the most annoying human in existence.

Our Review:

“Family feud, 5 stars”

Oh, how I love a good family feud. Romeo and Juliet, Hatfields and McCoys, give them all to me especially when love is in the air. Bitter Rival falls under that category. Julia and James are supposed to hate each other. Their families have been feuding neighbours for generations. Only there is a fine line between love and hate and these two are straddling it. Will they be able to convince their families to lay down the weapons and find love?

Sterling gave us a story that sucked you in from the start. You can’t help but wonder why these families hate each other and if James and Julia will find a way to make it end. I loved the whole concept of the story. James and Julia’s best friends also played a big part in Bitter Rival and I hope they get their own stories. Once I picked up Bitter Rival I couldn’t put it down and honestly felt like it went by in the blink of an eye.

Can’t wait to see what Sterling does next.

About J. Sterling:

My goal is to write books that you can get lost in and stories that will leave you with a smile and a full heart. If you can forget about the real world while you're reading and fall in love with my characters, then I've done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that's what makes the stories so relatable- the fact that they could happen to anyone... and have!

I live in California with my son, Blake. If you can't find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there's a good chance I'm sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and spending time with the love of my life, my very own second chance romance, who inspires me daily.

I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you.
