Anything but Love by Daisy Prescott

Anything but Love is an enjoyable enemies to lovers story.
The characters of the Wingmen series are always enjoyable. Their little town creates these uniquely odd people who are endearing. Their eccentricities make the reader love them. Anything but Love adds another two characters to the brood. First, the reader meets Erik Kelso as he is vacationing with his brother in Mexico, where he first meets Cari. Their first encounter sets up their enemy status. Looking to relieve some stress and enjoy their final days, the brothers decide to go out on the water, where Erik participates in an activity that immortalizes him on social media. His 15 minutes of fame is what brings Cari back into his life.
I like Erik as a character. He has an interesting mix of cocky and nerdy. He exudes arrogance but often misses the mark. The contradiction makes him an intriguing character. I also like that ramblings of this coffee lover. His internal dialogue is humorous and had me laughing. Cari, the heroine of the story, is another likable character. She returns to Erik’s town to attempt to make right what has happened. The town and his friends fall in love with her. Although these characters are wonderful, the chemistry missed the mark for me. I just didn’t feel it between them. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t a spark or that the chemistry isn’t there, some people might feel it, I, personally, just didn’t connect with the two of them as a couple.
I did enjoy their story. The plot is engaging, and their story is written well. The journey Daisy Prescott takes the reader on is fun and sweet. I really love the Gomez posts and what Cari and Erik ultimately did with his social media fame.
Overall, this story is a good read, but it could be a phenomenal read for you. The writing is good, the characters are enjoyable, and the reader will fall in love with the cast of secondary characters. I personally just did not connect with the characters as a couple, but every reader is different. If you love a small town romantic comedy, Daisy Prescott’s writing alone would warrant giving Anything but Love a try.
