BLURB ➞
I loved him. I lost him. And now he’s back.
August Monreaux was a stormy sea of a man, the dark between the stars, an electric chill cutting through a crowded room—all wrapped into one wicked, beautiful package.
He was also off-limits.
My entire life, I was kept a safe distance from the notoriously virulent Monreauxs, banned from so much as breathing the same air. And like the good daughter I was, I obeyed those rules.
Until the one time I didn’t …
Only while I sampled him, he devoured me like the forbidden fruit that I was. And in the blink of an eye, my worst enemy became my first love. His poison became my antidote. His touch, my addiction.
After we severed our ill-fated ties, I thought I’d never see him again.
Until he crashed back into my life at the worst possible moment—and asked me to marry him.
But it wasn’t that simple.
It never is.
Turns out marrying a wealthy powerhouse of a man comes with a price.
But walking away, could cost me everything.
Our futures were written for us long before the day we met. All we have is this moment.
ARC REVIEW ➞
Sheridan and August were born to be enemies. The Monreaux’s and the Rose’s were never supposed to be in the same place together. Their families don’t like one another. That is until one fateful night when a Rose and a Monreaux met.
Sheridan and August are complete opposites of each other. August comes from wealth and having everything he could ever want in life, while Sheridan has to work hard for things, her family is constantly trying to keep their heads above water. However, from the moment they meet there is a connection. They are both drawn to each other, even though they know they should. Everything about them spending time together is forbidden.
I loved August. He is the youngest Monreaux, he is broken and really detached from his family. He lost his mom at a young age in a tragic way and that changed his entire family. The growth he had throughout this story was beautiful to read and you go from disliking the emotionless party boy who is out for revenge to falling in love with him and rooting for him. Sheridan is hardworking, she is caring, she is loving. She does whatever she can to help her family, especially her mother who is ill.
Enemy Dearest gives some major Romeo and Juliet vibes, has heat, family secrets and is an emotional roller coaster. If you’re looking for a book that is full of all that and will take you on a journey with these two characters this is one to check out.
