Enemies to Lovers by Portia MacIntosh
2.0
Is it really enemies to lovers if the rivalry is one-sided and mostly in her head?
This book has is a great premise with enemies to lovers, forced proximity, undercover work assignment, AND a fake relationship. But it fell short for me. The main character is childish and self-absorbed. The love interest is just a cardboard Hemsworth shaped cutout without much personality.
The couple's retreat was supposed to be like Nine Perfect Strangers but it was more like a bad 90s summer camp. It was strange that the main character was there on an undercover work assignment but after one day the other attendees were her best friends and she sells out for the first person offering contraband pizza. Even the ending was off for how the main character was portrayed for 90% of the book.
Thank you to Boltwood Books and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. I am required by law to disclose this.
