Enemies to Lovers

You have heard of the famous character journey tropes in romance novels: strangers to lovers, friends to lovers, etc., etc. But what about enemies to lovers? That slow-burn type of relationship that almost hurts to read, but you can’t help but keep going because you HAVE to know how it ends. Lucky for you – we have rounded up some of our favorites in the category, just for your listening. 

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne 

Bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious and sexy workplace comedy is all about that thin, fine line between love and hate. Lucy Hutton is charming and accommodating, and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling goes both ways. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion is up for grabs. As the two go head to head in one of their classic office games, the stakes become higher than ever, but so do the feelings. 

Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon 

Hopeless love, steamy romance, second chances, fairy-tale endings…these are the things Annika Dev believes in and dreams of. Her very own developed app, Make Up, has been called the “Google Translate for failing relationships.” Then there’s Hudson Craft. High-efficiency break-ups, flashy start-ups, penthouses, fast cars…these are the things Hudson believes in. His app, Break Up, is known as the “Uber for break-ups.” It’s wildly successful—and anathema to Annika’s life philosophy. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they’d gone their separate ways after that summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson’s moving not just into her office building, but into the office right next to hers. Where will these two end up after being destined to hate each other? Tune into this listen to find out. 

The Trouble With Hating You by Sajni Patel

Liya Thakkar is a successful biochemical engineer, takeout enthusiast, and most importantly (to her), a happily single woman. Unfortunately, her parents do not see the same importance in her single-ness, as they attempt to set her up with the man they want her to marry at a family dinner. Imagine her surprise when the same guy shows up at her office a week later — the new lawyer hired to rescue her struggling company. What’s not surprising: he’s not too thrilled to see her either after the dinner situation. This listen will have you laughing, doubting, and discovering the ins and outs of the unexpected.

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Enemies to lovers is fun and all, but have you tried lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers? Try saying that ten times fast. Naomi Westfield has the perfect fiancé, the guy every girl dreams of. Nicholas Rose holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes with the perfect set of inlaws. There’s just one problem: she is miserably and entirely sick of him. Naomi wants out, but there’s a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill. When Naomi discovers that Nicholas, too, has been feigning contentment, the two of them go head-to-head. When it comes down to it, they start to realize why they fell for each other in the first place. This listen will take you on an emotional rollercoaster of what-ifs and whys, with the perfect amount of hopeless romanticism to make you keep listening.
