I am not usually a fan of anything history based but this book blew me away. In a read it in one sitting as fast as you can to find out what happens. The enemies to lovers added into a well thought out plot based on an actual time and person in the best of ways.
If you enjoy a tale filled with not just redemption but also pain, longing, and a universal acknowledgement that some things are your fault but growth can be had than this book is for you. Part romance but all heart.

I do like my enemies to lovers stories but I have no real clue where the initial animosity really came from. Well, that's a bit of a lie. She plays up to her mates and then sort of hates the consequences and that is what starts it, when he doesn't see the girl he expects. But at the same time. He knows who she is, whereas she has no idea. Hardly fair.

I wasn't a fan of their relationship if I'm honest. It was rather brutal at times with how he treated her. But she kept going back, drawn by some invisible string that I didn't entirely get.

Cruel pranks, eye rolling quotes, & unlikable characters
I read this book as part of the Read Me Romance Podcast.

Well, this book probably is going to have the title of the worst book I read in 2019. I tend to enjoy the enemies to lovers trope in the romance genre because it usually means that there is a lot of banter between the characters. Banter is my weakness, & I LOVE when character banter and flirt. Unfortunately, this book was not something I could get behind. I'm honestly surprised I finished it and didn't DNF it.

The characters were not likable. Both of them were vindictive & rude to each other. There was nothing "cute" about their actions.

If you like cruel pranks, eye-rolling quotes, and unlikeable characters, then this book is for you.
