Dear Enemy

Product Information

This From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a smart, emotional contemporary romance about finding love with the most unlikely of people. With Delilah I got one of my favorite heroines - sassy, snarky, smart, deeply loyal and adaptive. A person who keeps the hero on his toes, who listens and learns, who makes mistakes and knows how to say sorry and how to forgive. And there was a lot to forgive when it came to Macon - he really was the worst and total punk as a teenager. For Delilah it wasn't the grudge that was hard to get over though but her insecurities that Macon caused and they would flare up frequently. Macon's openness and his true remorse helped her to get over it though and earned him her absolute trust. He didn't let up when he realized that it was his childhood enemy he wanted and went after her with every tool in his repertoire. Mama used to say the brain can lie to you, but the heart always knows the truth.” I shrug. “Problem is, most of us would rather believe the lie than face the truth.” i loved both Delilah (h) and Macon (H) but i loved Macon waaay more. i never really connected with Delilah and i have no idea why that is. i don't know how to explain it but Macon just had that oomph that Delilah didn't have. and, im always gonna praise this but MACON AIN'T A MAN HO. thank you jesus.

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.” Now, I can tell you straight, that if my sisters did what that selfish, egotistical spoilt brat, Sam did, I would not hesitate in seeing her get her just deserts. There is NO WAY I would be covering for her or making up for her bad deeds. Yes, I get that Delilah was trying to protect her Mama BUT her Mama must take a little bit of the blame for enabling such an absolute COW!!I also loved Delilah for her steadfastness, her loyalty, her unshakable love for her sister although she wasn't blind to Sam's many flaws (boy, did I hate her). Both of the main characters experienced immense growth that left me completely satisfied in the end. Dear Enemy was a fantastic read, it has the best enemies to lovers set up!I was captivating , the writing was so good that you will fall in love immediately with the characters and you will not put it down until you finish it! If (I'm hopeless like that) it's another sibling double dipping, this gets 1 star. I'm really tired of them. 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.

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love. All’s fair in love and football… Game on. VIP Series (4 Books) by Kristen Callihan I felt like this till I reached the 80-90% mark. Up into that point, the quotes, the emotions, the relationship and the overall chemistry that was built up was A+. 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. While Delilah and Macon were enemies when they were children, their reunion and debt agreement felt like they were reuniting after 10 years. Which, yes, they were, but it's as if the enemies were never even there. For starters, the two were already commenting and how attractive the other was from the start. And also, Macon was never mean to Delilah. He implied he could make her a life a living hell, and while I was actually hoping for that NOT to happen, I honestly expected him to be mean. Most of it is because Macon never wanted to be mean to Delilah in the first place, so I guess it changed the story for me. 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!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? 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! Heat level: Hot. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. 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. I love Kristen Callihan's style of writing and am glad to see she has a new publication out. 'Dear Enemy', as the title suggests, has a hate-to-love storyline and is also a slow-burn. (The bath scene is one of the best I've read.) Love a SB!
