Dear Enemy

Product Information

Someone has secrets, I imagine we'll find there were reasons why certain people behaved in certain ways and they will be forgiven for it, and oh hey, there was always this big connection between them, despite the fact that he dated her sister for other reasons, and blah blah. I felt bad for him, if I'm honest, especially after finding out more about his relationship with his parents. I could MAYBE get over a hero having dated the heroine’s sister (and have, plenty of times), but this time it just came up so frequently that it got in the way.

The stalker aspect of the story was a prominent part of the story and I expected a showdown which I was deprived of. his present self was charming and cute but not gonna lie here, his past self was way more interesting than his present self and i guess i was in the mood for more angst cuz everything was a little too easy here. Learn nine essential ways to detox your mindset, feel lighter and more energised, to live a happier and more fulfilling life.It turns out that she has been in contact with Macon (since the prom), and she’s been his personal assistant - Delilah had no clue about this. The audiobook reflects Rhonda’s own journey and shares the most direct way out for those experiencing hardship and the path to end pain and suffering endured by so many, and it shines a light on a future without anxiety or fear. Her debut book FIRELIGHT received RT Magazine's Seal of Excellence, was named a best book of the year by Library Journal, best book of Spring 2012 by Publisher's Weekly, and was named the best romance book of 2012 by ALA RUSA. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived.

I liked all the small development gestures Macon made with Delilah and how approachable he became with her. Do you feel weighed down by stress and pressure, held back by judgement and lack of opportunity, and critcised by everyone – including yourself? He dated her sister through a good portion of their teen years and tortured and teased Delilah every chance he got. Their relationship is so skillfully written that the inner longing was evident even as the "banter" was decidedly antagonistic.

The scene between Samantha and Delilah should have had more impact, and the stakes should have been higher. Delilah kept saying how difficult it could be to take her side after finding out the truth, but she continued doing it when she got the chance. It struck the perfect balance between the heroine and antagonist seeing each other’s perspective, but the former not forgiving the latter for being horrible to them in the past. I could relate to Delilah and the sense of feeling less than, both in comparison to her sister and in the eyes of others. The hero got on my nerves too much, and while he did grow on me by the end, I was still thinking of the awful things he did to the heroine growing up.

I could feel the emotion and was pulled back into a story that I had, sadly, become disconnected from. We are used nowadays to see in romance books bully boys that turn into unapologetic, alpha men but Macon is anything but. When Delilah’ s sister steals his mom’s watch, he finds the perfect plan to have Delilah at his mercy.The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events. Not much of how she felt towards her sister changed until the very end, and it was upsetting to see this because a change before would have shown her strong character development. I liked that even though these two acknowledged they had feelings for one another, it wasn't an easy and quick-moving type of relationship. Besides the "dated-my-sister"-trope this book had, Sam was such a constant throughout this whole book without even appearing much.

But among a bouquet of perfect roses, Delilah is much like her namesake flower—unexpectedly vivid and complex—making you realize that roses are boring in comparison. And happiness aside, I understood some of Delilah's reasoning for wanting to take care of her sister's problem because of her mother. Macon Saint and Delilah Baker are childhood enemies and that hatred started from the very first moment they laid eyes on each other. There is some danger of it falling into the “he only does these things because he likes you,” but this is a discussion that is had in the book, and the way it’s subverted is done fairly well, even if the later execution of the relationsihp development did leave me feeling a little cold. Trotz des Tropes "Enemies to Lovers" mochte ich unsere beiden Protagonisten gleich gern, da Macon nicht unbedingt der typische Badboy bzw.Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.
