I read this one and listened to the audio and preferred the audio! The voices were spot on for me! I enjoyed this one so much! Such a quick, cute read with lots of laughs along the way! Am now going back and reading all 3 of the it’s a funny story series! All 3 are stand alone, but some character crossover made me want to read all three!

I love a good angsty/tension one bed type of trope and this gave me all the feels! My favorite is an enemies to lovers and I felt their tension like a live wire!!

Two rival teachers end up on the same beach getaway ... at the same time ... in the same house.

Honestly this is only my second Max Monroe book and I did not know what to expect. To me this one was much more of a win! I felt like the term enemies might be a bit much to describe them but rivals felt believable. The storyline makes sense and you really see the characters as believable people. I enjoyed the banter and I love a good forced proximity book. That main character, Mack, woowee he knows how to treat a lady. He is by far my favorite character in this book. I will say Katy initially wrote him off pretty quickly and felt a little harsh at times but Mack was a sweet character and I like that he was able to show himself in a different light.

Overall, I enjoyed this beach read. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a beach romance looking for a spicy main male character. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I had the wonderful pleasure of listening to 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 earlier this year, and I couldn't wait to plug in my headphones, turn up the volume, and listen to 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔, another novel by another Max Monore! It was a delight; from the start, the main characters, Katy and Mack, had me laughing out loud. Calm, confident, easygoing, and hot as the Florida sun, music teacher Mack knew just the buttons to push to get under uptight math teacher Katy's skin. And boy, did he like to push those buttons! Their hysterical banter and antics made this story such a treat!! And CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese's phenomenal narration brought this crazy, fun, and sizzling hot tale to life. The sparks between these two were ready to combust right from the start! Boy, did I enjoy that 5-alarm heat! Mack sure did have that bedroom talk down pat! This one had it all! It was such a great, feel-good romance!! It is a story you don't want to miss!! I highly recommend you grab a copy NOW!!

Thank you, @netgalley and @authormaxmonroe, for letting me listen to a copy of this fantastic book!!

To the publisher: This book was archived prior to me downloading it so I am unable to give a full review.

This is an excellent enemies to lovers romance. The storyline is sweet, funny, sexy, and engaging. The characters are well developed, and interesting. Alexander Cendese and CJ Bloom did an excellent job bringing this story to life. If you like Romantic Comedy, this one is for you. I enjoyed it! #NetGalley

A thoroughly enjoyable book with a great storyline! A woman finds that her nemesis is double-booked in her vacation rental and has no choice but to share it with him. This makes for some funny predicaments, as well as the opportunity to get to know one another in a different setting. This was a really fun book to listen to, with great characters (particularly the spring break girls who lust after Mack) and lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Can't wait for the next offering from these very talented authors!

Thanks to Max Monroe and NetGalley for providing an advance review copy of this audiobook. My opinions are my own.

i didn’t know max monroe was a big deal but i’m so thankful this book kickstarted my love for their books. this book was so good and so cute, i’m not too big of a fan of the unexpected pregnancy trope, but the rest of the book made up for it. thank you netgalley, the authors, and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this amazing book.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the back and forth banter. It was a tad predictable, but a fast paced book.

This was a DNF for me. I really didn’t enjoy the narrators voices. I couldn’t get past it. I might try again later as an ebook.

I absolutely loved this enemies to lovers romance.

The characters were relatable and well developed and I loved the banter between them!!

The storyline was interesting and the plot was fast paced and gripping

The Narration was enjoyable as well

Best Frenemies is a romantic comedy novel by Max Monroe, a pseudonym of two best-selling authors of contemporary romance. The novel is about Katy and Mack, two elementary school teachers who have been rivals and enemies for five years. They are forced to share the same vacation rental for a week due to a booking mistake, and they have to deal with their mutual attraction and hatred. The novel is full of hilarious situations, witty dialogues, and steamy scenes, as the enemies-to-lovers trope is executed with humor and charm

This was my first Mac Monroe title and it had me cackling!! It was so funny! The narrators did an excellent job bringing the characters to life.
This was spicy and so well written! I will be reading more from Max Monroe!!

I read my first Max Monroe book earlier this year, Accidental Attachment and absolutely loved it. So I was excited to have the opportunity to read Best Frenemies and see how these worlds collided.

I love a good enemies to lovers books. Give me all the banter! While this wasn’t a one bed situation, they did end up sharing a rental for a week of vacation. It was sweet to see how Mack took care of Katie. I enjoyed watching their connection grow.

I loved this book until close to the end. While I don’t always mind what happens at the end of this one, it didn’t work for me here. With that being said, I’ll definitely be picking up more Max Monroe books as this was hilarious and swoony and spicy all at the same time.

I did receive an early copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

Two Rival teachers end up stuck at the same vacation rental for spring break! You know the tension will be great!

When Katy (Katy-cat) is on the cusp of the vacation of a lifetime with her friend, the unfortunate thing happens. Her friend gets COVID. So when it gets to the place she's staying at, she is greeted by her enemy, Mack (BigMack). He happens to be the music teacher at the school she works at and is a total player.
Their banter and sweet moments are amazing! I loved their tension and loved the way Mack cares for Katy. HE'S SO IN LOVE!!!!!
And don't get me started on the spicy scenes!!

I listened to the audiobook, which was amazing. CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese did a great job reading this book. You could feel everything the characters went through.


Thank you, NetGalley for an ARC audiobook!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. the narrators were great and made the characters come to life. I enjoyed the back and forth banter between the main characters. You could feel the tension between them. I really like this enemies to lovers troupe and hope you do as well.

Thank you NetGalley and authors Max Monroe for the chance to read this spicy, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers book.

Katy and Mack have been working at the same elementary school for the last 5 years. Katy is the Type A, list-making, planner math teacher while right next door Mack is the fun-loving music teacher just loving life. Katy has seen Mack as her archnemesis and can't stand to be around him. Well isn't it a very big surprise when on a Spring Break trip to Florida, Mack is now her roommate. Due to a booking error, they have the same rental for the week-long trip. Katy is less than thrilled to be spending her hard-earned vacation with the one person she can't stand. What happens when forced proximity gives way to more?

I immediately related to the characters in this book as I taught elementary school for 12 years. It was fun hearing all of the moments in the school building and the life of a teacher. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and road trip stories are some of my absolute favorites to read and this story did not disappoint. I loved seeing the change in Mack from just wanting to get under Katy's skin to seeing her for the wonderful woman she is and helping her to see herself that way also. The banter between these two was so fun since they have such very different personalities. There was a surprise trope close to the end that is not a favorite of mine, but it really enhanced the ending of this book and I really enjoyed it.

The audiobook was a fantastic way to experience this story. CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese brought the characters to life for this story. They had a great cadence that enhanced the plot. I highly suggest listening to this book.

This book follows Mack and Katy, They are both coworkers at the same NYC elementary school. They teach next door to each other and Katy is a rule follower and Mack is more go with the flow. Katy is constantly annoyed with Mack and Mack lives to get a rise out of Katy. When they both escape to Florida for spring break they are surprised to find out they booked the same condo for the week.

This book was really funny, I loved the humor and really found myself laughing out loud. I loved that the authors gave us some back story about Katy that explained why she needed things to be "perfect". I really loved Mack's character, he was really sweet and really cared about Katy, long before they crossed the line. I like how Mack took care of her when she got injured on their trip, how he drove her back to NY when her flight was cancelled and his wasn't. I loved how when they returned to school, he continued to pursue her until she gave into a sort of relationship.

I liked that the audio has 2 narrators especially with it being dual POV. Overall it was a fun, quick, enjoyable listen. This is my first book by these authors and I would like to read more!
