Thank you Jenny Williamson, Canary Street Press, The Hive, and NetGalley for the free book!

I’m always drawn to historical romances set in ancient Rome, and Enemy of My Dreams did not disappoint! Julia, a headstrong Roman princess, and Alaric, the fierce Visigoth warrior, make for an unforgettable pairing. Julia’s refusal to bow to anyone’s demands made her such a compelling protagonist, and Alaric’s sharp wit and commanding presence were the perfect match for her fiery spirit.

The dynamic between Julia and Alaric was one of my favorite parts. Their early journey together was full of tension and hilarious pettiness—
Alaric making Julia wash his shirt, or Julia putting nettles in his bed?
Priceless moments that kept me hooked. The mix of humor and heat in their interactions made their relationship feel authentic and entertaining.

This book is epic in every sense—rich with drama, suspense, and an incredible cast of characters. There were moments
where I genuinely wasn’t sure if some of them would make it to the end,
which added to the stakes and kept me turning the pages.

Between the vivid writing, the perfect balance of spice and story, and the captivating setting, Enemy of My Dreams is a must-read for fans of historical romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more from Jenny Williamson!
