You may know by now that enemies to lovers is one of my least favorite tropes. Two characters antagonizing and sniping at each other can often veer into meanness and that never works for me. The blurb for this also alluded to it being a relationship in trouble. I knew I had to give it a try and hoped for the best. BLURB: When your nemesis also happens to be your fiancé, happily ever after becomes a lot more complicated in this wickedly funny, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for books by Kristen Callihan, Julianna Keyes, and Kate Canterbary
Reading has been hit or miss lately and honestly it has been hard to really get lost in books.

Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan- Delilah and Macon didn’t get along when they were children. One could even say that he bullied her and she responded in kind. The flashbacks of them as kids and antagonizing each other were at times hard to read. They Continue Reading
