19 Enemies-To-Lovers Books With Excellent Ratings From Readers
If there's one thing we learned from the A Court of Thorns and Roses craze, it's that we are all huge fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope. And Heated Rivalry? Don’t get me started. The reason romance books are so sexy and fun to read is that they capture the tension of falling for someone new ~when maybe you shouldn't~ on the page. Enemies-to-lovers books do tension like no other romance novels can, because what's more tense than two people who can't stand each other's guts beginning to fall for each other? (The answer is nothing, unless they start threatening each other with daggers or something — that's hot.)
Whether you're a romantasy fan, stick to modern romances, or want something a little bit darker, here are some highly-rated enemies-to-lovers books to get you out of your reading slump.

A Dystopian, LGBTQ Enemies-To-Lovers Novel
The premise of this book is pretty complex, so stick with me: “By encouraging massive accumulations of debt from its underclass, a single corporation, Caerus, controls all aspects of society,” the book’s description begins.
Inesa and her brother scrape by running a taxidermy shop, while their mother adds to her secret (massive) debt, until she accrues enough to qualify one of her own children to Caerus’s Lamb’s Gauntlet — think Hunger Games. Melinoë is a Caerus assassin who is trained to track and kill the sacrificial Lambs, having been mentally and physically altered to become a living weapon with no feeling... except she does have painful flashbacks.
Now Inesa is heading into the Gauntlet, and Melinoë needs redemption in this year’s games. But as she follows Inesa across the wastelands, she wonders if there might be more to life than killing.

The One You’ve Seen Everywhere
Ali Hazelwood’s Bride was so widely read in the past two years that it showed up on an endcap at my local Target. That’s right — a book about werewolves that includes knotting (look it up), just there in a regular people store. Hazelwood is a great romance writer, but the premise of this story was really satisfying to read as a girl who grew up obsessed with Twilight. Think: vampire bride is sent to an enemy werewolf alpha as a peace offering, and nothing goes to plan after that.
