This is Emma Hart at her best!
Frenemies is a friends to lovers, second chance romance had me laughing hysterically throughout the entire book! Mason and Immy had a relationship back in college and there was never closure for either one of them. Now, Mason is Immy’s new neighbor and things are about to get crazy! With a meddling grandmother, a crazy book club, prank wars, and a tiny human, this story is full of fun, flirting and laughable situations. A must-read for any Emma Hart fan!

Frenemies is everything I love about Emma Hart’s stories. There are likable characters, crazy shenanigans and plenty of hilarious banter. Imogen and Mason haven’t seen each other in six years and they didn’t part on good terms. Now, he is her new neighbor and her grandma has some tricks up her sleeve.
Mason is a single father and moves to be closer to his daughter (who is super adorable). His neighbor is his college hook up and her wild grandma. Imogen has her hands full with her job and keeping her grandmas book club in line. I LOVE the banter between Mason and Immy from the start and throw in the pranks it will add to even more laughs.
There is some major chemistry between these two, but after their past Immy isn’t took keen on the idea of Mason. Though, things change and from there it is history.
Frenemies is classic Emma Hart. This book is light and will have you laughing from the very first page to the very last page. A MUST READ.

* I received an ARC from the author*
Emma Hart never seems to fail to write an amazing book! She hooked me in when she said single dad - my kryptonite.
Immy and Mason were two people who used to sleep together in college. Thinking it was something more Immy was shattered when he never called her.
Years later Mason moves in next door to Immy with his daughter. Still holding a grudge Immy doesn't welcome him with open arms, she gets her water balloons filled with flour reading for payback
Immy and Mason have so much banter it makes the story amazing. Immy's grandmother also makes the story, like what Grandma do you know willingly talks about Fifty Shades and sex toys.
Mason and Immy still had fire between them, the passion was proof within the pages. It had me devouring this book so quickly
I need the next book in the series already!

This is so dang cute and fun!
Frenemies, is a hilarious frenemies to lovers, neighbors, single dad, second chance romance. Immy and Mason were so much fun to watch! From their prank war to their hilarious banter, and then their steamy hot chemistry, their relationship was so cute, funny, and swoony!
I live for the secondary characters in this authors books. They always add so much to the story and make me laugh out loud! Immy's Grandma Jen absoluely killed me! She was so loud, funny, pushy, and was all up in everyone's business.
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to get my hands on Number Neighbor in March! Hanna's story is going to be so great, I can tell already.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

Emma Hart is one of those easy go to authors for me, her books are funny, quick witted, full of heat and humour and help to escape the real word for a bit, and Frenemies was no different to what I’ve come to expect from her.
Immy lives with her eccentric and meddling grandma Jen, who is adamant that it’s time Immy settles down. So, what better timing than for her ex-college fling Mason to coincidently move in next door. Mason now has a daughter, who he co-parents with her mum, and is as shocked as Immy is to see her after all this time. Both think of the other as the one who got away, neither ready to admit their feelings in college, which puts them in this weird frenemies limbo, and they soon resurrect the prank wars from their college days. But now, as adults, thrown back into each other’s lives, and with the help of Jen, can’t hey get their second chance at love together?
I enjoyed the humour of this book, the pranks that Immy and Mason got into with each other were great and brought an extra level of lightness to the story. You could see their feelings clearly from very early on, but the tension between them, alongside their past, meant that neither really knew how to admit them. The pranks helped break the tension though, proved they still knew each other on a certain level, and the proximity of living next door to each opened up the opportunity to learn new things about each other now they were adults. I liked how it grew slowly between them, they didn’t instantly pick up where they left off, but took it cautiously for numerous reasons, Maya being the main one. Overall, this was a very cute easy read romance, and I enjoyed it lots!

After a hilarious Tequila,Tequila, Frenemies is a disappointment. Usually a second chance romance is one of my favorite trope in romance.
In Frenemies,even the grandma can not save th strory. The story is more about 2 immature characters throwing prank to each other. And acting like 10 years old.
The prank is not even funny. Instead it signify how immature the characters are. I stop listen around 2nd hour of the audiobook.

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
Frenemies was a fun and light read. I always enjoy second chance romance novels, and this one was no different. Immy and Mason dated in college and now, 6 years later, they're suddenly neighbours, but there are a whole bunch of new things about them. Namely, Mason has a 3 year old daughter.
I liked the way that this was an easy going read. Whilst there are some old hurts and feelings from the past, and these two snarking at each other, it wasn't too over the top, which I sometimes find in books. It was kind of a just an addition to their personalities, ones that hadn't changed too much over the years.
There are so many fun things about this book, from Grandma Jen, to Maya, to prank wars. And how can I forget the book club? A really nice and fun read, and definitely recommend.
Oh, and I look forward to the next book, which I believe is about Hannah...he he he.

In true Emma Hart fashion she gave us an absolutely fun, witty and entertaining read from beginning to end! From the very first chapter I was smiling and laughing from Imogene and her grandmother's snarky relationship and banter but the pranks between Immy and Mason....OMGEEE!!! Immy and Mason had a physical relationship in college but fell apart when Mason graduated and left her behind. Neither would admit their feelings for each other but what happens when fate brings them face to face 6 years later? Can they rekindle what they thought they once lost? If you want a book that will have you enjoying page after page of one hilarious read then one-click Frenemies today!

I was kindly sent a copy of this book for review from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Your two-year college booty call said he'd call but he never did; six years later he's moving into the house next door...
Immy and her wacky grandmother are finally getting new neighbours four months after the house next door was sold. Too bad it was the last person Immy expected - her college friends-with-benefits who she was lowkey in love with and who promised to call after graduation but never did. Oh, and he has his four-year-old daughter in tow. It may have been six years, but Immy's still hurt by his actions, so she assures him that they're not friends, despite being new neighbors. But Immy's grandmother has other plans, determined to get her granddaughter married before she reads her own name in the obituaries. So when a fake spider in her mailbox nearly gives Immy a heart attack, an all-out prank war commences, just like what they did back in college. With feelings unearthed on both sides, it's not long before they fall into old habits.
Although this book came out first, I ended up reading it after it's companion novel Number Neighbors, which follows Immy's cousin Hannah, so I had already seen Mason and Immy as a couple. But getting their backstory in this was so much fun and I couldn't get enough. While I am a stickler for reading companion novels in publication order, sometimes it's fun to already see the couple together and then go back to see how it all started.
Immy and Mason's connection and relationship was just so easy to read about - it really did feel like they had known each other for years, and Emma wove their backstory so nicely into present day, without it feeling like an information dump each time. In fact, it actually felt like I had kind of known these characters back when they were in college. The one thing I wish we got more of was the prank war. Don't get me wrong, the pranks we got were hilarious, but I wanted more because it was such a fun aspect of the book.
Immy's grandmother is an absolute hoot and had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. Actually, there are SO many great lines and moments in this book that had me laughing. Like I said with Number Neighbors, Emma really knows how to balance comedy, cute romantic moments, and the steamy stuff, and Frenemies was no exception.
I now really want a book for Fran and Matt's story! Seeing her navigate a new relationship while co-parenting Maya with Mason sounds like it could be fun, especially with Emma's storytelling!
I've said it before, and I'll say it for the millionth time - if you've not read anything by Emma Hart, you NEED to! Frenemies is such a great romcom and the perfect starting point for diving into her collection - it's the perfect amounts of romance, comedy and crazy relatives to make for a super fun read!

I want to be Jennifer when I grow up. I want this book club. This was a cute fun read.
I was already looking forward to reading Number Neighbors based off its synopsis, now having met the characters in Frenemies I can't wait to read it.
