Enemies to Lovers: A Novel

Alisha Rai

3.79

Sejal Chaudhary inherited her mama's calculating brain, her daddy's quick fingers, and the boatload of trauma that comes with being the eldest daughter of criminals. Although Sejal has never claimed to be a good girl, she's spent the last couple years laying low and going (mostly) straight. That is, until a con gone wrong sends her into the arms of a handsome stranger who's set on dragging her back into her messy family drama.

Krish Anand never mastered the fine art of being a bad boy...he would take a book over bullets any day. But when his FBI agent brother goes missing, he has no choice but to suit up for the adventure of a lifetime. Certain that someone in Sejal's little crime family is behind the disappearance, a desperate Krish manages to convince the beautiful thief that his brother's badge is actually his.

The deal is help him find his brother, and Krish and the law will leave Sejal be. With an up-to-no-good ex also hot on her trail, Sejal reluctantly agrees. As they wind their way across the country on planes, buses, and automobiles, sparks ignite, and what began as a fragile temporary truce starts to look more and more like a partnership.

Falling for the enemy? So cliche, but so good...if only they can survive long enough to chance a happily ever after.

    Thanks to Avon for this ALC This was a fun adventure rom-com, and maybe not as slow-burn as advertised (it was a little quick for me) the enemies were pretty much immediately horny even if it takes a little bit for them to act on it 🤭 Soneela Nankani and Shahjehan Khan bring Sajel and Krish to life in this book, and I highly recommend it if audiobooks are accessible to you. *This is book 2 in a series and for the most context you obviously should read Partners in Crime first, HOWEVER, I did not do that and I had no trouble following the plot. Alisha Rai gives just enough recap for context and I'm intrigued to go back and read it rather than feeling spoiled.
