"This enemies to lovers story captures the reader from page one." — New York Times & USA Today bestselling author SL Scott

Raven Elliot blasts into town like a wrecking ball—striking and devastating.
With a few simple words, my reliable routine crumbles to dust.

“Is this seat taken?”

I could close my eyes and let her voice wrap around me like a lover’s caress.
But this isn’t that type of story.
And I’m sure as hell not that kind of man.

She hovers in my space, batting her lashes and smiling shyly.
The glimmer in her sapphire eyes is a promise of peace.
But I’m not falling for it.
And Raven doesn't take the hint.

What starts as a battle of wills, explodes into a turf war.
She stands directly in my path everywhere I turn.
No matter how hard I shove, she won’t budge.
Raven seems dead set on driving me insane.
But I was here first.
And I’m not going down easy.

After all, no one ever taught me how to treat a lady.

GENT is a #BitterSweetHeat standalone novel.

A new adult aged story with plenty of scorching chemistry between Raven and Trey as Trey deals with his emotional stuntedness due to his past. With some adventurous steamy scenes, it kept the pages turning as Raven and Trey went along their journey.

I wasn't overly invested in the relationship but I enjoyed points of the story enough.

I was put off at the start due to the implication that Jack's uncle, in his early thirties was an old man and his life was pretty much over. I'm not sure if this was just in jest but it bothered me enough that whenever it was brought up it changed my mood toward the story. I would actually be interested in reading Jack's story.

I think as a reader now, I am preferring stories with older characters, as I find them more relatable at this point in my life.

Great enemies to lovers romance. Definitely a recommended read.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2018

I would have purchased this book for the cover alone and as delicious as the cover is the inside is just as delectable.
From the moment Trey, the lewd, arrogant, carnal and extremely sexy dirty mechanic meets Raven the new girl in town the sparks fly, from their initial fiery altercation and subsequent unpleasant exchanges enemies become friends with benefits. Can Raven weave her way into Trey’s guarded heart. They say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and I’m sure Raven’s Dirty Mechanic Cup Cakes are a great start.
Great enemies to lovers romance. Definitely a recommended read.

Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2018

Trey was great in the over confident sex-on-legs way.
Raven was sweet but had a lot of conflicting personality features going on- stutters shyly and bites her lip while blushing in response to flirty comments but is apparently an experienced minx in the bedroom.
Also resolved far too quickly to be satisfying.. complete 180 on the hero's part.

Reviewed in Australia on 13 June 2018

I had never read Harloe Rae before. but after reading this I'm not sure what took me so long. Trey may have been the town bax boy, ass and grumpy boots. But once he meets Raven she knocks him off his feet. their story was one about no matter how hard you try to deny it. Your heart is always in it, finding the one is possible if you just open yourself up to love. I loved the mater between them and the dirty talk between them made it more real.

Did not realise the main characters were in their early 20s. Might have enjoyed it more 10 years ago. Good writing but didn't hold my interest. If looking for mature well developed characters give this a miss.

I really don't get these authors who make utter cliches, it wasn't bad but an ok read that makes your irritated and eye roll half the time isn't the best. Both protagonists bugged me, raven was too pathetic and her stammering had me feeling like I was reading about twelve year old and grey was just a complete arrogant dick one min then all of a sudden a mushy fool how did he go from not wanting to hold hands to realising he wants more and that it's love in two days? Whatever floats ya boat but there wasn't really any story here and all the banta on the side wasn't really interesting either

Ready to get dirty with Trey?

Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2018

Verified Purchase

Not only is the cover smoking hot, but the content inside 100% flammable!! Gah, Trey's dirty mouth combined with Raven's adventurous spirit sure makes for some interesting sexy times! My kindle is still smoking from this one.

But putting aside the sexy content and a heroine who's ready anytime and anywhere, this is Harloe Rae's best book to date! The writing, plot, and overall execution is superb. I enjoyed getting to know the main characters, but also got a kick out of the secondary characters. I'm shipping a few of them really hard and can't wait to see what the author does with their stories!

Here's what I loved: Trey is so no nonsense. He basically says whatever he thinks whether it's hurtful or not. He's crass and rude, but underneath the tough, dirty guy, he starts to soften. Raven changes everything for him when she moves to town. It's one of my favorites things about the book. You can see the character growth clearly. They each have past hurts and present issues, but are able to overcome them all and find their happy place.

Gent is a quick, fun, read that's sure to please. I Loved It!!

I love Trey

Reviewed in the United States on 1 June 2018

Gent is a captivating enemies to lovers romance. My favorite troupe! It's so freaking amazing, I couldn't put it down, not that I wanted to.

Raven is so strong and independent. After watching her mother carelessly skip from man after man, and place after place, she is determined to put her roots down. Moving to Garden Grove to get her baking on courtesy of her college friend. She immediately falls in love with the small town.

Trey, he is my favorite kind of man. Rude, doesn't give two $&*^$ about anything or anyone. Crass and unapologetic. Stricken with huge loss early in life, he pushes everyone away (I absolutely love it, again my favorite type of book boyfriend).

Trey is instantly thrown off when he meets Raven. Raven, after hearing a few details of his life, sees the damage in him and wants so bad to be able to help.

Gent seriously is one of my favorite reads of 2018. Its packed with everything that makes you want to fall in love with the characters and leaves you enamoured and wanting more!

Holy Gent! And he certainly isn't one. What the hell did I just read? Harloe Rae has stepped it up 100 notches and taken her writing to a completely new level of H.O.T! Ladies ... get the ice, a fan, and the cold shower ready because you're going to need it for this one. I went in prepared for all the sweetness that Harloe usually delivers, but what I got was a healthy dose of habanero heat laced with extra spicy.
This book has all the feels, the delicious angst that I love, along with being insanely sexy. The chemistry between Trey and Raven was off the charts amazing and their characters were perfectly developed. I loved the story ARC and the character's ARCs as well. You won't go wrong with this one so get those itchy one-click fingers ready.

Freaking. Refreshing.

Trey, a scorching mix of hot grumpy, difficult and irresistible, ends up smack in the middle of Raven's life when he doesn't even want to be there.

Hell, he'd rather stay away from her sweet, kind, beautiful, and sexy-as-eff all-around awesomeness any day of the week. Raven SO isn't his type.

Because Trey's type is one-night-quickie bombshells he can get out of his bed first thing in the morning. And here Raven is, dancing around town making cupcakes?

Cupcakes as delicious as she is.
As fricking sweet too.
She literally traipsed her perky butt into his town!
Can someone please get her out of his hair???

Trey is disarmingly dirty, a bad boy with a heart so hard he needs it massaged to come alive for a woman. In most novels, this type of book boyfriends meet hardcore, take-no-prisoner women, someone tough as nails who forces him into submitting to love. Well, here's the kicker that I LOVED about Gent: Raven isn't your stereotypical hard**s heroine. No:

Spoiler alert: this woman doesn't only win him over by being her sweet self, but she drives him crazy for her too. Which brings me to my question for the author: how did you pull that one off in such an adorable, believable way?

Needless to say, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to smile, fan themselves, and aww out loud. Enjoy, readers, because I think you just stumbled upon your new summer read.

I adored this book!

Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2018

Gah. Harloe Rae once again kills me with the perfection of her writing. Only she could make a hero that had me hating him and falling in love with him at the same time. Seamlessly blending together angst and sweetness in a way I’ve never fallen so hard for before I was captivated by Gent from the start. I adored this book! It’s got heat (SO. MUCH. HEAT.) It made me want to yell. It made my heart melt.
I was so convinced I was going to stay strong and not give Trey any slack. I knew he was going to be a jerk, and man, is he ever but the more I read the more I saw what Raven saw all along. There’s an amazing man hiding behind those walls. Raven herself is pretty darn incredible. She’s got a huge heart and sees beyond the exterior. The sparks fly right off the bat with a back and forth that builds the tension to explosive levels.
With chemistry that’s off the charts comes explosive heat that will definitely have you needing to cool down. That heat only adds to the heart that is packed in this story, where just like Raven you find yourself falling in love with a man who is definitely no gentleman.

Get Ready to Get Dirty With Trey!

Reviewed on behalf of Endlessly Reading book blog.

Rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. That is a good description for Trey Sollens, the dirty talking mechanic with a bad attitude in Harloe Rae’s new book, GENT. Sexy as he may be, Trey is a grade-A jerk, and he knows it, owns it. He wears that mantle like a suit of armor, a shield of sorts, keeping anyone from getting too close to him. That is until Raven Elliot arrives in town.

Raven is smart, beautiful, and persistent. She sees beyond Trey’s stand-offish attitude, to the man inside, and she is determined to get to the heart of why he acts the way he does. She knows that getting close to Trey is a bad idea, but she is drawn to him and is powerless to stop the attraction between them.

Trey is drawn to Raven, too. He hates it, tries to fight it, but their chemistry is just too strong to deny. They begin what is supposed to be a purely physical relationship, but how long will it remain that way?

Will Trey’s determination to keep Raven and his emotions at arm’s length win out over her persistence to make him finally allow someone behind his walls? Or will Raven’s tenacity finally break through Trey’s prickly exterior and bring out the hidden gentleman in him?

Harloe once again has given us a well thought out story with strong male and female leads, which is packed full emotion, heart, witty banter, and lots of sexual tension.

She Was The Game Changer

Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2018

Verified Purchase

She was the first woman to see through the pain and the hurt. She knew that there was a good man behind the mask.

Trey is a HOT mechanic, but surly. A loner who alienates himself. He keeps people at arm's length with his nasty attitude. Pain from his past casts a shadow over everything in his life. He can't seem to move forward and live.

Raven has recently graduated and moved to a small town to set up roots and be with her bff, Delilah. Delilah runs a coffee shop and Raven was hired on as the baker. Raven is fun and sweet. She is not off-put by a nasty attitude or a few insults.

Raven and Trey meet at a bar and let's just say Trey is less than welcoming. But there is definitely a physical attraction. In a small town, you just can't avoid anyone.

Raven wants a friendship but all Trey wants is to get in her pants. These two start off as bed buddies. But when Raven wants it all...Trey has to decide if she's worth the risk.

A beautiful story of healing through love. The chemistry between Raven and Trey was off the charts explosive. I just fell in love with them. Wonderful characters that I would love to re-visit in the future. I definitely want Delilah's story and more of Garden Grove.

Don't understand the high ratings

Reviewed in the United States on 17 February 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the first negative feedback I have given. I don't write reviews unless it is a 5 star book. The relationship between the H/h was not understandable. He was verbally abusive to her and it was not understandable why she offered friendship multiple times when he rejected her. His last surprise to show his love occurred in the final chapter. He was able to "pop her anal cherry" and then they lived happily ever after- WOW. I read 1 and 2 star reviews to determine if there is this type of play because it isn't for me. Some authors are very nice to include it in their description of the book so I can avoid purchasing it to begin with. This author didn't do so. I won't be purchasing other books by Harloe Rae.

Not impressed...

Reviewed in the United States on 18 February 2019

I didn’t like this book from the beginning, but figured I’d stick it out as long as I could, which was about 5 chapters in. Trey has no redeeming qualities that I could discern. He was truly an jerk; how does he even have a sex life with the way he treats women? I was (marginally) more interested in his uncle, who was only 11 years older than him (34) but whose character was written as though he was 60. Raven (seriously?) at first came across as a sweet naive girl but after a chapter or two sounded more like a drunk sorority party girl. She’s 22 and talks about 30 as though it’s retirement age. Could take it anymore.

Oh my goodness! I have a new book boyfriend and his name is name is Trent. He is foul mouthed, hard and bitter. Though when you know the reasons, you honestly cannot blame him. Then you have Raven blowing into town and throwing him for a curve ball. The battle of the wits between these two is utterly amazing and I laughed so much as the banter played out. These two are very much kindred spirits. Both wound in a painful past. One thing I really loved is the whole concept of this story. I love how Rae’s writing has developed this past year and I am constantly blown away by what she delivers. Gent is no different. You get hot passion with amazing banter. The fluidity of the story is bar none as well. I found once I started, I could not put it down at all. It was beautifully written.
Overall, run, don’t walk to your one click and get this bad boy. You will not regret getting to know Trent and all his flaws. You will not regret the sass that is Raven when she gives Trent a run for his money! This story gives you all the feels as things unfold. It was sheer magic.
