***4 Stars*** 
 I do love me a good frenemies/enemies to lovers story and Sweet Rivalry gave me all the sweet, smexy and snark that come to expect when two stubborn frenemies go head to head and try to deny (and fail miserably) to deny their attraction to each other. 
 I really liked Ryder. He's got that whole cocky I own the world sexy as hell vibe going on, but he gives credit where credit is due. He respects strength and dedication in others and has no problem letting them know. Harper I really liked. I loved how driven and the fact that she knew she was just as capable as anyone else, if not more, to get the job done. My one issue with her was how she tended to go for the negative side of things first. She does have reason to, but it got a little tiring at times. 
 The glimpse of THAT moment in time between them while they were classmates and adversaries definitely set the tone for them and had me wanting them put aside any differences, both real and perceived, and just go for it. There is a lot of getting under each other's skins going on that just served to up the sexual tension between them and when they finally give in, they are explosive. Considering that this is a novella and the time frame of the story, I really liked where they ended up, though I would have liked a little more at the end concerning the outcome of the bid, but other than that it worked for me. 
 I enjoyed the writing style, was fully engaged in Ryder and Harper's story and the dual 1st person POV was done well. The pacing was good, but slowed a bit at the lengthy and some what repetitive inner monologuing. I didn't mind it per se, butI would have preferred having more of Ryder and Harper verbally sparring. But other than that, if you are looking for a quick frenemies to lovers read this is the one for you.
