Blurb: As the owner of the Atomic Veggie food truck, Russ serves his popular vegetarian food all over the city. His former classmate and rival, Darren, owner of Meat Me Halfway, has never served a vegetable out of his truck, unless it was on top of one of his gourmet cheeseburgers. The two men never got along under the best of circumstances, but after spending one hot night together during culinary school, things went from bad to worse.
Now, when they’re not cooking, they’re thinking of ways to make each other miserable, with a series of ever-escalating pranks. When Darren approaches Russ in a time of need, will the two call a truce and finally give into the passion they’ve been denying for years? Or will one last prank prove to be the end of their simmering relationship?

Review: It is really cute and funny as hell. I love the pranks that they play on each other, however for a minute I wasn’t too sure they were not going to kill each other. Some of the pranks they played were close to being harsh. Russ and Darren had been rivals since school. Then one hot night of sex, Darren is stupid and left right afterwards, hurting Russ.
Now that they owned their own companies, the rival has topped to a lot of pranks some funny and some not so funny. However, Russ is really hot for Darren but thinks in his heart that they can never be friends let alone lovers. Although Darren is trying to fix that. He is trying to make amends for the mischief he had done.
It is really too short to for me to absolutely love, but I did like it a lot. It has characters that you can’t help but fall in love with although more in likely you would rather punch them. They act like children hooked up on a lot of sugar. Instead of coming clean to each other, they keep going around the subject till it goes too far. I did love the ending though. You can tell they are hot for each other and there is a hint of love in the air. I would recommend this to anyone who would love a short story to lose yourself in, one with two sexy men, feisty comments, crazy pranks, and some hot sex.
