I'll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy is an enemies to lovers romance. Carolina Lancaster has been living on her own for years, living away from her family and doing what she loves, ballet. West and Carolina meet one night in Paris. West knows exactly who Carolina is and he can't stay away from her, pushing his way into her night. They both agree to just have the one night together and not getting deep or exchanging numbers, thinking they would never see each other again. They were both shocked to see each other at Lancaster Prep on the first day of school. Carolina puts up a wall and tries to pretend she doesn't know West, which only seems to piss West off. This book was so good and I couldn't put it down. I loved how obsessed West was from the first night he spent with Carolina and I loved how he groveled after he messed up to show Carolina his feelings. Such a good book! The Lancaster Prep world is just so good!

Favorite Excerpt:
“Defensive? Defense against what?” I am sure I already know the answer.
“You. I was worried if you saw me there unaccompanied, you might take me out.” He smiles, immediately wiping it from his face with a sweep of his hand.
“I wanted to take you out the moment I knew you brought a date.” Oh, I hate that I just admitted such a thing. I want to pretend he doesn’t matter, that he doesn’t affect me, but I just gave myself away.
“A big mistake on my part then,” he drawls, his gaze intensifying. “I never want to make you mad, Carolina. Even though that seems to be all I can do when it comes to you.”
“If you don’t want to make me mad, then what do you want to do to me?” The words scrape against my throat, my voice raw.
“I’m afraid if I tell you, you might run away for good.”
