*`Review: No Room For Rivals by MéLisa Ryun`*

 Title: No Room For Rivals
Series: Hotel Bellwether #3
Author: MéLisa Ryun


REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the third book in the multi author series. We are back at the historic hotel. This time we are here to help save the sea lions. I'm not gonna lie I was a tad iffy because of the secondhand embarrassment I was feeling for Ivy. Though rather quickly both Cole and Ivy had me hooked. Blaze is hilarious. This is the first book I've read by this author duo and I'm definitely checking their back list. I loved the banter and rivalry between Ivy and Cole. A lot of funny moments that had me chuckling especially with Blaze and Dr. Orson. This book was such a joy to read. Great chemistry between Ivy and Cole. I loved the ending and epilogue. A great addition to the series. 

BLURB:
I’m competing for a promotion I’ve spent years earning. He’s treating this like it’s a game.

Hi. I’m Ivy Ellison—strategic, data-driven, and about to strangle my coworker on camera. Cole Hartwell, company wildcard and my professional rival, is six feet of muscle that screams “trust me, it’ll work”.

My romantic history is a graveyard of being the "second choice." Men don't choose me—they settle. So long ago, I decided to choose my career. I'm one step away from my dream role, and the only thing standing in my way is Cole’s smug, handsome face.

One high-stakes trip.
One career-making campaign.
And one cramped hotel suite not designed for two people who "hate" each other this much.

The assignment? Produce a live-streamed eco-activism singles weekend at the Hotel Bellwether. The celebrity headliner? Blaze Tate, a caffeinated golden retriever with a gazillion followers and zero impulse control. When he cannonballs into the ocean with sea lions, donations pour in. The more he goes off script, the more I lose my sanity.

Cole treats our rivalry like foreplay and acts like the sleeping arrangements (and my curves) are somehow his problem. He’s determined to prove that winging it wins campaigns, and every viral spike is proving him right. Somewhere between fighting for my career and resisting the urge to shut him up with my mouth, I’m starting to wonder if the biggest risk isn't losing my promotion—but walking away from the one person who might finally choose me first.

Book #3 in the Hotel Bellwether series, delivers enemies-to-lovers-tension with one bed, forced proximity, competence kink, and a slow burn that absolutely brings the heat. Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn chaos and Tessa Bailey steam.
