I also loved Delilah for her steadfastness, her loyalty, her unshakable love for her sister although she wasn't blind to Sam's many flaws (boy, did I hate her). Both of the main characters experienced immense growth that left me completely satisfied in the end. i loved the beginning of this BEFORE the MCs got together cuz the slow burn, sexual tension, and banter was just *chef's kiss* but all in all this was just meh but in a good way. the drama at the end was kind of weird and unnecessary tho but i guess it was just there to solve the whole Sam situaion and to add a little angst.

Childhood enemies to lovers? I'm in. Unfortunately, everything went downhill when I hit the 88% mark.I'm a huge fan of Kristen Callihan's writing - I loved every single book I read by her in the past. She writes with heart and humor, her heroines and heroes are always strong, people who seem real with all their flaws but still so darn likable. DEAR ENEMY falls right into this category. I'm now looking forward to what she has next in store for us. Maybe we get a book about North, Macon's awesome bodyguard? I think he deserves a HEA.

I’m the reader that avoids bully romances. Because who in their right mind would fall in love with an asshole that has tormented them enough to leave scars? Therefore, it was always going to be hit or miss with Dear Enemy. However, it’s safe to say that this was light enough not to send me over, and realistic enough for me to understand forgiveness.

Heat level: Hot. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. In the beginning of the book we’re introduced to Macon Saint, Delilah Baker and Samantha Baker, whilst they’re still in high school. Delilah and Macon absolutely despise each other and have never quite got along. Delilah’s sister, Samantha, dates Macon all throughout their childhood years. Delilah often found herself acting as a third wheel in their relationship, especially since Macon was over at their house all the time. Closure: This didn’t have nearly enough closure for me! While it did have a cute epilogue, I wanted much, much more! I would call this a HFN ending they’ve only shared “ILYs” right before I could've maybe been a tiny little bit shorter. And I felt that the tiny 'fight'/ 'lie thing' towards the end wasn't really needed ... But I still loved every word of this story! OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: Yes, but mild The h’s sister calls and then shows up towards the end and causes some drama for the couple.
