Dear Enemy

Product Information

Of course, Macon, being mad as he is about what happened that led to this conversation, tells her to go. Does he want her to go? Of course not. H (Hero) rating: 4 stars. Macon. I liked him. I thought he made up for his past behavior with the h.

i was a bit weirded out from the beginning when i found out Sam (h's sister) and Macon were childhood "bf/gf" where they dated for years. Then the heroine with all her thoughts: But Sam is right; she hung out with him all the time. Despite what Macon said about them not truly liking each other, they were partners in crime for their entire childhoods. The first and only time she thought this (and it only happened after she gave him a hand job): He was Sam’s boyfriend for so long. What am I doing even thinking of taking up with Macon? It violates sister code. Ex-boyfriends are definitely off limits. Especially Macon. I was the third wheel in their relationship; most of the time, I was their enemy, the outlier in their united front of all things anti-Delilah. Delilah is pretty. Quietly pretty. She will never be the first person everyone looks at when entering a room. Especially not in LA, where beautiful women bloom like flowers in a well-tended garden. But among a bouquet of perfect roses, Delilah is much like her namesake flower—unexpectedly vivid and complex—making you realize that roses are boring in comparison. Ehrlich gesagt, hatte ich mir mehr hiervon erwartet. Allein, da ich bisher alle Bücher von Kristen Callihan geliebt habe und ich das Trope "Enemies to Lovers" auch super gerne lese. Allerdings fand ich den Einstieg in die Geschichte echt lahm und langatmig. Wäre da etwas gekürzt wurden, wäre das Buch ein echtes Highlight gewesen. Dear Enemy is hate to love story that starts when our protagonist were children and expanded into their adulthood. Delilah and Macon hated each other pretty much from the moment they meet.

Such a lovely story, I enjoyed it so much!It was addictive and I couldn't put it down, one of the things that I liked the most was the banter between the characters! That is why I think I should give this one another go when things have calmed down a bit... Maybe I will feel completely different about it... It has been known to happen ;) Delilah and Macon has a great chemistry there is angst, intensity, desire and love hate.I love their moments together they make me ach and swoon so many times.I also has a smile in my face mostly, these two were like kids sometimes and I loved it!

Macon is now Hollywood superstar and Delilah is a chef. She doesn't bow down for anyone and he isn't used to anyone opposing him. The banter is well and truly alive. I liked the writing and the story flow. It is always fun to read enemies to lovers romance. Compared to real life where we all know how exhausting that is. This is also slow burn romance. Delilah enters into some BatB-esque servitude to work off her shady sister's debt with Macon and the homage to the fairytale was pretty loose in some sense and also it felt like one entire scene was lifted from the movie. I'm not against retellings, in fact JT Geissinger's BURN FOR YOU followed along those lines and worked really well for me, amongst other retellings, but between everything else..? I just can't get on with the characters. Things seem to be moving along fairly predictably, too, with certain interactions between the main protags and I'm just bored. Denn ab der Hälfte war es für mich ein richtiges 5-Sterne-Buch. Die Emotionen, sowohl Hass als auch Leidenschaft und Liebe kamen so gut rüber und vor allem mit Delilah konnte ich so gut mitfühlen. Es tat stellenweise richtig weh. So muss so eine Geschichte erzählt werden!SPOILER WARNING: This review contains spoilers for Dear Enemy as well as Vicious by L.J. Shen, so read with caution. But for one second there, I thought I was getting what I wanted: “Why do you think I found you so annoying?” Macon quips. “Because you damn well knew we were fakers.” After that it all went a little downhill in my opinion. I really disliked how the book ended, not just bc the plot went bad but also because it was unnecessary and because it felt like some things were just thrown in there because they had to be solved somehow. Delilah’s sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town. If you have read Vicious and thought the hero there was too cruel you might like this book, because of the watered down version, but it was not for me. Dear Enemy will go down as one of the most disappointing books for 2020.
