Hello, I am here today to give you some recommendations for one of my favorite tropes ever and Best Enemies to Lovers romance books, I just did Friends Lovers, and some of you guys said that you would like to see Best Enemies to Lovers books.
1. Fight or Flight by Samantha Young
Standard romantic romance novel, 3.5 stars for readability. Overall, it’s a relatively qualified romance novel, and it’s the one I’m personally most satisfied with among the similar ones I’ve read recently.
Although the plot is a bit bloody, the author’s handling of it is not bad, and the two characters are not too flat. However, I don’t understand how beautiful the female lead is. I started to get upset and feel insecure without being noticed by the male lead. This feeling is too difficult to relate to.
Also, the heroine’s parents don’t care about her, and even almost caused her to be violated and refused to admit it. This setting is a bit too much.
Obviously, the author wants to portray the heroine as a very insecure person who has not been cared for by her parents since she was a child, but this is a bit too hard. I instinctively feel uncomfortable.
However, I like this author’s writing style and should read her other novels in the future. She’s also quite productive.
2. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
First of all, the advantage of this book is the very attractive romantic stalk of happy enemies and evenly matched, the sexual tension between the hero and heroine is really full!!
And the author is really good at writing ambiguous little actions, the description of the actions between the male and female protagonists is really exquisite, and the metaphors are also used very well!
do you think she just wants to write a love novel, she has a lot of psychological descriptions of the heroine’s self-analysis, Generally speaking, the author is not bad in describing flirting & sexuality, but not so good in story development and plot description, which cannot attract readers.
I hate Joshua. Ghosts know what will happen next… Also, what I don’t understand is why the author didn’t spend more ink on why the heroine hates the hero, leading to The first half of the whole book has a feeling that the heroine cares about obscenity…
This also leads to a slightly flat character in the whole book… The most important point is that this book is more like an erotic novel under the banner of romance than romance,
or you Americans can’t do without meat when you write romance. I’m not saying that you can’t write meat. If it is less than two pages, I don’t think many people will read this book…
But also, this book is definitely an excellent choice for you who want to fish and learn English.
3. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
A TikTok sensation, this rom-com about a young woman who agrees to fake date a colleague and brings him to her sister’s wedding has “everything you could want in a romance”
Catalina Martín desperately needs a date for her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiraled out of control. Now everyone she knows — including her ex and his fiancée — will be there and eager to meet him.
She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.
Enter Aaron Blackford — her tall, handsome, condescending colleague — who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man.
But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.
Elena Armas is a Spanish writer, a self-confessed hopeless romantic, and a proud book hoarder. After years of devouring HEAs and talking — okay fine, yelling — nonstop about them, she has finally taken the leap and decided to create some of her own.
4. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
At this level, it is actually the best romance novel on Goodreads last year, especially since the heroine has a lot of inner drama… every time. The author does not rely on the plot to promote the character but relies on language repetition to brainwash the readers…
The worldview setting is similar to the approved Twilight, a strengthened version of vampires and werewolves, let me dream back ten years ago. The low score of this book on Goodreads is very exciting, I can’t stop laughing, it’s the biggest gain from reading this book.
I almost gave up reading, and after chapter 10, I am getting better and better. Once I accept the setting of the beautiful man and Mary Su, I can happily watch them fight and fall in love!
5. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black is the first book in a trilogy, that is set in Faerie, which happens to exist alongside our world.
Jude, our main protagonist is not a fairy, but when she was just seven, she saw her other killed, who was formerly married to a fairy, called Madoc, who killed her parents and then abducted them into the land of Faerie.
Ten years later, the story sets off that involves death, dissent at the High King’s court, betrayal, and a touch of hot faerie romance.
When I first started the book, during my first read, I thought that it would be set in an Epic Fantasy place, before I saw the map which instead, of being detailed, was rather more beautiful and pretty looking.
I found that this was actually what made the story really interesting. Faerie is this palace that is exquisite, beautiful, and almost a fragile place, where everyone and everything is extremely beautiful, or so we are led to believe. While the world on the outside is beautiful, and while everyone is also beautiful, who they are may not necessarily be so.
I also really liked all the characters that this book had to offer, in that they all feel so very different from each other, which is a good thing.
Cardan is a character that is someone who is spoilt, aggressive, and cruel(hence the cruel prince), but again, I also do like him in a way, especially as a character, and sometimes even the bullies deserve some sympathy, or sometimes at least.
Everyone in the Court of Shadows is an awesome person, despite what it may seem, Oriana may need to get slapped a few times, but even she turns out okay in the end. ✔️ for likable characters.
For people who like the works of Cassandra Clare especially, I think this book would be greatly suited towards them, or you, as faeries are ultimately a dominant part of Clare’s world, and this book, it is pretty much what this book is all about.
There is a bit of romance, which I think is given in a good dose, though it is a little bit less than many YA works out there, I honestly thought that there would have been more considering how much beauty everyone gives off in this book.
