When she gets a text from her arch nemesis of her past saying that her sister is going to be in trouble, once again she rushes to save face. It got to the point where he decided he wanted to pursue a career in acting because of how good he was at faking the situations, and while this can definitely tick some off, I found it to be easily sympathizing. I expect nothing less than this sort of smartly written, masterfully told story from this author, and by the time I turned the last page, I wasn't even close to letting Delilah and Macon go. I could have done without the sister drama at the end, but overall it was a fun, fast-paced romance!

But if you are more of a fan of contemporary romance and enemies to lovers, I recommend this, as it is a solid read with a great heroine. The hero got on my nerves too much, and while he did grow on me by the end, I was still thinking of the awful things he did to the heroine growing up. Considering that Macon only dated one girl in his life before Delilah, said girl being her sister, doesn't really make it better. I could relate to Delilah and the sense of feeling less than, both in comparison to her sister and in the eyes of others.

Her novels have garnered starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly and the Library Journal, as well as being awarded top picks by many reviewers. And the title - I know it used to be different - Kristen said something about it on FB, but it got changed. Such as after Sam told Delilah the truth, he wanted to go up to her because she knew she would be crying and upset, but he knew she needed space too, so he gave it to her as he spoke with Sam. But when Delilah's sister betrays Macon Saint in the worst possible way, it's up to her to come to her sister's rescue while being an assistant and chef to the person she can't stand the most.

Enemies to lovers at it‘s best, vor allem weil die Wortgefechte klug, humorvoll und selten grenzwertig sind. With their history, she doesn't know if she can believe anything he's telling her if it's another ruse to lure her into his game and embarrass her at the most opportune moment. It sounds so old fashioned, but there’s also something so much more to it than boyfriend—a solidity, a sense of time and history. Even as I found myself unable to put the book down, I was also deeply uncomfortable with the real life implications of a romance between these people with terrible boundaries. He didn't let up when he realized that it was his childhood enemy he wanted and went after her with every tool in his repertoire.

Macon and Delilah only becomes intomate toward the end of the story and it does not bother me too much.
