They are both out for blood, but could it end in love?
Scarlett
Armstrong and Kane Hudson have a tangled past involving not only their
families but their own failed love affair. Now, eight years later, to
make things more complicated, they’re both in the running to become the
next CEO of Scarlett’s family’s business, Armstrong Labs, a privately
held blood plasma company. It all comes down to who presents the best
business plan to the board of directors.
For Scarlett, it’s a
matter of continuing her family’s legacy and hoping that her father will
be proud of her once and for all. After all, she’s spent her entire
life pushing her own dreams aside preparing for this role. And perhaps
she would like a little sweet revenge against the man who stole her
heart and never gave it back. Kane, on the other hand, is determined to
reach his goal of becoming the CEO of a Fortune 500 company before his
forty-fifth birthday and proving to Scarlett she’s meant to follow her
own dreams.
But things don’t go according to plan for either
Scarlett or Kane when they realize that perhaps they’re fighting for the
wrong thing. With love and blood on the line, which one will come out
on top?
My Review: 5 Stars
Wowza! Peel has a talent of bringing her characters to life, but this one takes the cake. Reading All's Fair in Love and Blood was like devouring an entire delicious and rich German chocolate cake (with all that glorious frosting) in one sitting. I was blown away by this love story and had all the heart eyes for Kane. And I mean ALL the heart eyes. That man was pure sugary sweet perfection.
This book is divided into two parts and each was completely necessary to paint the full, beautiful picture of Kane's and Scarlett's tale. I loved how each chapter was named, as they gave the reader a hint of what was to come, and because of those hints, I could NOT put it down. Life is all about timing, experiences, and things coming together when they're meant to, and not only does Peel write an amazing story that showcases those spots in life, but she delivers it with humor and lots of breathtaking swoon.
The romantic, work, and familial relationships are complex, which drew me right in. Kane is the most supportive and charming character and Scarlett is the most persistent, driven, and giving woman. Their scorching chemistry was an addictive love potion that kept me anticipating more. Give me an impressive plot with fantastic characters and some mad swoon and I'm all in! Peel is in trouble because this one is going to be hard to beat.
