Let’s be honest, however many new tropes we might try in romance, we always keep coming back to enemies to lovers! There is just something about this sub-genre that arguably traces its origin in the 1800s with Pride and Prejudice, that it has been successful in attracting audiences for centuries. Maybe it’s just the idea of initial tension developing into crackling heat between the characters, or the conflict keeping the story interesting throughout, but we can never get enough of it!
So, why even try? The popularity ensures that our favorite writers keep giving us their best works with characters challenging each other about everything under the sun. And therefore, this time, my lovely ladies, I bring to you my favorite picks in the enemies to lovers genre. No need of pacing yourself, just go ahead and devour them all, and don’t forget to tell me which ones you liked the best!
