Audiobook Review: Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan
Dear Enemy, as the title suggests, is an enemies to lovers story. The romance is of the slow burn variety that I always enjoy.

I don’t typically go for high school romances, but Dear Ava is a really well written enemies to lovers new adult story.
This was a hard one to rate. I had higher expectations for Angry God, but I enjoyed the suspenseful nature of the book.
I liked this book, but I loved the audio.
I’ve seen the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice too many times to count and the A&E mini-series as well, but I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never read the novel before now. What strikes me is how true to the book the adaptations are, but they still pale in comparison to Jane Austen’s words in all their glory. The story is witty and romantic and I’m even more desperately in love with the original fab four: Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane, and Bingley. It’s absolute perfection.
As far as enemies to lovers stories go, my favorite ones are romantic comedies where the animosity between characters generates witty banter and an overall lightheartedness. On the Corner of Love and Hate is more of a contemporary romance, which is fine, but I did miss that humorous factor.
This was a nice little quickie. Actually, Cocky Client has the potential to be a really enjoyable full-length book. I’m kind of surprised Whitney G. chose to write this fun and sexy story as a novella instead.
L.J. Shen is a master at dishing out seemingly irredeemable characters that you love to hate and serving them up with massive side of angst. Pretty Reckless kicks off the All Saints High series, which is a spinoff of the wickedly addictive Sinners of Saint series. (Side note: Although these series revolve around high school students, they are definitely on the New Adult side.) Defy readers will remember the scandalous affair between Jaime Followhill and Melody Greene. Daria is their daughter.
I have become such a fan of Christina Lauren’s work that I eagerly add each new book to my to-be-read list without even reading the synopsis. Fortunately, with The Unhoneymooners they have proven once again that I am in safe hands.
Imagine my surprise when one of my favorite writing duos unexpectedly released a new Male/Male book. I was pretty freaking excited when this appeared on my Kindle, let me tell you. I’m pleased to say Top Secret does not disappoint. If you are new to the M/M genre and are perhaps hesitant to give it a try, this is the perfect introduction. It’s funny, lighthearted, and sexy without being too graphic.
What an unexpected treat Jock Row was! I had some reservations based on the blurb, but Sara Ney knocked my socks off with this college rom-com.
With Naked Love, Jewel E. Ann dives head first into the enemies-to-lovers trope, and the result is a fun and sometimes emotional love story featuring memorable characters.
