Grayson and Hazel had a rivalry that wasn’t for the faint of heart. Each time they got together they would accept a challenge and take it to the next level. Ten years have passed since they broke up but the level of animosity still exists. Will Hazel help him sell his grandmother’s home or will she hold on to the feelings that continue to torment her? All the passion they feel with their on going feud can definitely be put to better use and it’s only a matter of time when one of them succumbs.

Grayson Daly is returning to Bayshore to sell his grandmother’s house. He has not been home in ten years and though his family is looking forward to seeing him he is not looking forward to going home. It begins before he enters town when he sees a build board of Hazel and the saying and picture of her stays with him for the rest of the day. That is until he is asked by his mother to go to her office and ask her to sell or list the house. The thing about the two of them is that they were born on the same day minutes apart, and had a completion between one another up until they began dating in high school. Then he broke up with before the senior prom and went with someone else and she has been back to the completion. Except for the ten years have been good for Hazel her business has taken off she has her friends and life is good. When Grayson walks into her office that day he is shocked by the beauty of the pin-up girl standing there and when she turns around and realizes that it is Hazel he knows that he is doomed. On top of everything else she said to list the house, he leaves more upset than he was before. He then must deal with Hazel in a bar situation, on the lake water skiing and in a bathing suit showing off her curves. Anyway, you get the point. This is a very good book, I really liked Hazel's character and at times Grayson was a jerk, but that was part of the story. Overall a good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 5 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com

I enjoyed the characters in this book. But, the reason for their lovers to enemies trope back in high school was really stupid and could have easily been avoided, but if I disregard this and think of it more as just a regular "rekindled flame" kind of book, then I really enjoyed it.

Thank u NetGalley for the digital ARC . I let this book sit on the digital shelf for a few months . It started a little slow for me but once i got into it – i was done in a few hours. What a cute love story! Two arch rivals who fall in love after years of trying to outdo each other… they were meant for each other from the start! Kudos to the author and on to book two!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley..

This was my first book by this author.

Grayson and Hazel are serious chemistry / sex goals. What a HOT book! The book has more than just great sex scenes though.. The banter is great. The storyline is great.. and i couldn't put it down!

This second chance for Grayson and Hazel was so enjoyable book to read. How they pick on eachother, how they come from hate to love, how their passion explodes. Both are very enjoyable characters easy to love. Their love story is unique and it is very enjoyable to see their HEA, I really enjoyed reading every page of the book.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

Good read book I will definitely be recommending this book brilliant read and written perfectly with a fantastic storyline and characters will look forward to reading more from this author

Really cute! Enjoyed this one a lot. Not quite as fluffy as I anticipated but really good. I’ll be reading from this author for sure.

Loved this story, Grayson and Hazel were hilarious, though at times they did leave me misty eyed. Totally a one sitting read.

Grayson and Hazel have been pitted against each other in competition since he was born ten minutes before her in the same hospital on the same day. Other than a brief period in high school where they secretly dated, they’ve been rivals ever since. So when Gray shows up after ten years (looking hotter than ever) and asks successful realtor Hazel to sell his grandmother’s house, she can’t decide whether to gloat or kiss him. Maybe both?

These two had great chemistry, and their journey from enemies to lovers felt very real, especially as these two alphas struggled to figure out how to compromise. Cute start to a new series.

Make Me Lose is the first book in the Bayshore series by Ember Leigh. The novel follows the mostly antagonistic interactions between the two main characters, Hazel and Grayson in this enemies-to-lovers story. As readers sit on the sidelines, Hazel and Grayson battle it out in every possible way. Ember Leigh’s writing style and character development have readers invested in the Hazel and Grayson’s relationship and their greatest competition of all—the battle for their HEA.

Great book. Amazing author! I was sucked in from the first page!!I love the Daly brothers and look forward to more more more !!!!!

If you like the enemy to lovers trope then this is a book for you. I personally love reading them going from enemies to lovers. This was a fun and steamy read and I most definitely recommend. Thanks NetGalley.

It was a cute story. It started strong and ended strong but dragged a bit in the middle. Hazel was fun. loved some her scenes at the beginning and her pretend typing! Grayson seemed to be a bit of an ass but that turned around quickly. Both characters seemed willing to give and take which is nice (sometimes it seems like on the female characters have to give something up) and I loved the brothers!

Did you get a good look at the cover? It certainly drew my eye. And since the blurb made me snicker, I decided I really wanted to read this one. And it was certainly a treat, although sometimes a bit over the top. Hazel and Grayson were born on the same day in Bayshore. As small town locals, they were destined to be together. But Hazel and Grayson planned to defy all odds: by getting competitive. All through high school they riled each other up to do crazy dares, up until Gray stood up Hazel for their prom. Ever since Hazel and Grayson have been each others nemesis. And while Grayson became a hotshot financial investor in New York, Hazel became the town sweetheart by setting up her own local realtor company in her hometown. So now Grayson is back because he has inherited his grandmother's house and he needs to sell it. But when he asks Hazel to sell his house she turns him down flat.
So Grayson resorts to the only thing to persuade Hazel into selling his house by tricking her into a contest. Hazel can't believe the biggest jerk is back in town. And that he tricked her into selling his grandmother's house. As if nothing has changed ,they start having contests all over again. But with their current chemistry, maybe losing isn't so bad after all.... But although the sparks are flying, Grayson still wants to go back to New York after the sale. And Hazel doesn't want to leave their hometown. So at a cross roads, which path will both of them take? And will they turn it into a contest? Find out for yourself in this sparkly , funny and competitive story. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Make Me Lose was a pretty formulaic rom-com book. It wasn't great, and it wasn't awful. The characters are likable enough. I loved the setting -- the quaint community of Bayshore is lovely.

Grayson and Hazel are so determined to be wrong for one another that they are right for each other -- from the VERY beginning. It was fun to watch their bicker/banter. I did like that Hazel did not immediately plan to sacrifice her career for their relationship to be successful.

Romance was steam enough for sure. I just never felt 100 percent invested in either of the leads. I would probably read another book in the series to see if it improves.

Oh. My. Word. Make Me Lose was an absolute blast! I seriously loved every second of it. A hilarious romantic comedy with colourful characters, a witty banter, and sparking wit. If you are a fan of enemies to lovers stories that make you laugh one minute and swoon the next, you’ll not go wrong with Make Me Lose by Ember Leigh. Well done Ember Leigh!! Very well done!! Can’t wait for the next book book by her!! Happy reading!!

Thanks to the publisher for an arc to read and give my honest opinion.

Loved it! I’m so used to this authors MMA series that this was a pleasant surprise! I’m so happy that she has branched in this direction and the writing as usual was fabulous.

Hazel and Gray... two obscure colors but when mixed ... sparks fly. These two have a sordid history, since birth but fate has thrown them together again and it’s up to them to figure out if they truly are kismet.

What did I like? Two people with that much passion are just combustible or is it. compatible? Combatable? Anyways they had it in spades and once they worked through it, it was a true romance!

Would I buy this book? Yes! Definitely referable. Great book and great romance!

Thoughts for the author! Love this series! Want and need more!

Competition you haven’t seen anything until you meet Grayson and Hazel. Make Me Lose is the first in the Bayshore series and Gray and Hazel, born on the same day they have been rivals trying to out do each other since they were children but is it something more? A wonderful read with great characters and an exciting storyline. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up
