Hudson West is the enemy. Nico Shah is trouble. However, when they’re forced to collaborate on a town project, they can’t stop the passion from burning.

Hudson West is the enemy.

The calm, arrogant, stupidly hot owner of the rival restaurant in town never fails to push Nico Shah’s buttons. So when he and Hudson are invited to collaborate to cater the Chesapeake Days festival, he wants to say hell no. But with his mother’s upcoming transplant, he needs that money.

Nico Shah is trouble.

Hudson’s noticed the gorgeous, witty flirt and has veered far away. He’s looking for commitment while Nico’s looking for his next flavor of the night. Except now that they’re working together, neither can ignore the chemistry that’s one spark away from burning down a forest. And when they finally collide, the connection is beyond anything either has experienced.

But with Nico still terrified of the word "boyfriend" and Hudson needing someone who belongs to him, this can only end in heartbreak.

Nico is looking for Mr. one night stand as he a lot of stuff going on including getting money for his Mom’s transplant. Hudson is looking for Mr. Boyfriend as he is settled and secure in his life. When Hudson and Nico are forced to work together on a community project, the passion flares and leads to HEA.

I loved the first book in the series and was excited to read this one. It was a great book and I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed It
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2022

This is the first book I’ve read by the author but they’ve been on my radar. I’ve seen their books around, so I jumped at the chance to read one. Of course, I started with book number two in the series, but that didn’t keep me from being able to follow along. I have a feeling they were at least small side characters in the previous book, but if it went like this one, not having read it won’t interfere with the storyline of their book. I don’t feel like I missed out on anything other than seeing how their friends got together. I will probably go back and read it.

This is an enemies-to-lovers romance which is right up my alley. There is no doubt that these two men don’t like each other. While we don’t SEE why in this book, we do find out why fairly early on, so there’s no wondering there (if you are one who needs that – it doesn’t matter to me when we find out why as long as it’s worked into the story authentically). There’s no fun, witty banter – they full-on hate each other.

This story kept my attention pretty well, which is hard to do right now. That is fully credited to the writing. The flow of the story was nice – quick-paced, steady, and consistent. I liked the side characters and town as well. I will most likely read the next one as well. I would recommend this to anyone who likes an enemies-to-lovers storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars He doth protest too much is given new meaning
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022
It appears I am on a Katherine McIntyre bender beginning with the dark and gritty Midnight Heist Outlaws #1, followed by the true to life romance of Wisdom Check Dungeons & Dating #2, then combining a bit of both grit and romance with deep devastation in Stronger Than Hope Chesapeake Days #1. This month with her opposites attract, profound loss, Intelligence Check Dungeons & Dating #3. So far all have been five heart reads for me, let’s see if Katherine pulls another five hearts from me with her latest standalone enemies to lovers Stronger Than Passion Chesapeake Days #2. Okay, so the five hearts above gives this away, here’s why…

Nico Shah is established in Chesapeake City as the owner of his bar and grill Port of Call. When newcomer Hudson West opens his high-end restaurant venture, Harbor Pointe, Nico graciously offers to help in any way he can. A single barb rejecting the offer solidifies their standing as sworn enemies. For a little over a year now Nico and Hudson have been engaged in a battle of wits to undercut the other.

Hidden beneath the biting jabs and fury dormantly lies something neither is willing to entertain but shows in the heat that radiates between them. For Hudson and Nico, the saying he doth protest too much is given new meaning. WOW! Denying their passion for each other only makes them more of a power duo that is extremely appealing. Being the strong-willed individuals they are, when “it” finally happens, they stubbornly deny their destiny – Idiots, but so dang HOT!

Hidden beneath their facades lies a series of troubles facing both Hudson and Nico that only fuels the fire between them. Since these are an integral part of the story line, the only thing I will mention is that the majority of Hudson family are horrible individuals. While there is a touch of homophobia, forcing a person with the destruction of their dreams just so they fit a specific ideology of who they should be is disgraceful. Thank you, Katherine, for giving Hudson the family that deserves this wonderful man.

With the help and guidance of family and friends Hudson and Nico put their bad luck with relationships behind them and forge a path that brings them together both romantically and professionally. They make mistakes but own their actions with some of the most honest and tender interactions. Together remove the obstacles in their way and despite the odds once stacked against them, look forward to the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enemies to lovers excellence
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2022
Ah yes, enemies to lovers in a small town where they really can't escape each other. My catnip. Add in a little forced proximity and *chef's kiss* yes.

There were a few times where either Hudson or Nico's reactions were way overdramatic, but in those cases they made my heart hurt in the most delicious way so I'll allow it. ;) The chemistry between them is explosive, whether they're bickering as rivals or... well, still bickering but as lovers, haha. I love that their love language doesn't change, and Nico's "ew, feelings" attitude especially is hilarious.

Once again, while I completely fell in love with the main couple and their romantic storyline, I also really enjoyed all the side characters and friendships in this series.

This is the second book in the Chesapeake Days series. While it can be read as a standalone, you're really better off reading the series in order starting with book one, Stronger Then Hope.

This book oozed sexual chemistry like enemies to lovers stories often do. I have to give ghis book 5 stars because ot didn't let up throughout. The MC's were really likeable and you just locked onto their relationship. The scenes were spicy which is always a bonus. Hoping the rest of the series lives up.

Enemies to lovers, that's always a swoony genre for us ladies. Hudson and Nico go from snarky, defensive enemies to something more. Restaurant rivals they are put together to work on the town food festival, and that's where the angry taunts slowly turn to fun snarks. Both men have huge expenses hanging over them which could ruin both their livelihoods. I have to admit the snarkiness in the first half got a bit tedious for me, but the lingering attraction kept me going and the second half was much more enjoyable. Also that's where the intense angst kicks in, are they both doomed to lose their restaurants? A great read, very intense.
