Dear Enemy

Product Information

Delilah is a girl that was relieved to put adolescence behind her. Now a successful chef, and finally comfortable in her own skin; the past is now the past. Yet it takes one call for all her insecurities to rise to the surface. A deadbeat sister that’s put her into a compromising position, right into her tormentors’ path. There was just enough resisting that it wasn’t considered “miscommunication” and the first kiss scene made me scream out loud. Did I mention that this book has like no plot? I don't even mind it if it's not plot driven, but the romance is not doing the work, the drama is not doing it for me. So the plot has to do it, but there was none. There was an interesting storyline with Macon's stalker, but that went nowhere. At the end of the book it was just mentioned that the Stalker died. Whew, cased closed. Goodbye. Tell me what was the point of the stalker plot line? I don't understand it.

Then there was his “closest friend” that lived with him and slept with Sam. I was sure that meant nothing happened between those two. I was hoping for some limits at least between them, but then the hero started thinking about how Sam was his "type" and how he used to be attracted to her: The women I hook up with are happy to take attention away from me and keep the spotlight on themselves. Hell, my “type” started with Sam. But the truth is, I haven’t been attracted to her in a long time. And even then, it’d been a mild interest at best. I am a big fan of Kristen Callihan's books and some of them are favorites that I read over and over again. So when I saw this baby and read the blurb I knew I had to give it a go.

I definitely liked the slow burn romance, and that none of the characters just "rolled over" for the other. The whole "my sisters ex-boyfriend" trope is one I definitely though I wouldn't like, but Kristen Callihan found a good way to implement it in the story without it being too "disturbing". Safety: This one should be either Safe or Safe with exception for most safety gang readers depending on personal preferences.

While Delilah lives in Macon’s home, they still fight with one another - for old times sake. But this time there seems to be some sort of tension in the air... What happens when all the misunderstandings from the past get cleared to the side, and the love/hate boundaries get blurred? I let out a long breath. “This is getting us nowhere. I need to clear my head. I can’t do that with you around.”I’m going to love you, Macon Saint. So long and so hard you’re not going to remember what it feels like to be without love.”

I fell in love with Macon and Delilah and was rooting for them. They shared so many things about their past, apologized and in my opinion got together and the exactly correct moment.

Customer reviews

If (I'm hopeless like that) it's another sibling double dipping, this gets 1 star. I'm really tired of them.
