William

Enemies to Lovers #3

by Anyta Sunday

William needs to learn to think before he speaks. He accidentally outed his last boyfriend to his bigoted family. Looking to make a new start, he escapes to the most distant place he can think of: New Zealand. There he boards with a substitute mom and her too-hot-to-be-real son, Heath, but Heath and his homophobic friend Rory want William to leave before things “crash and burn,” whatever that means.
Unfortunately, traveling to the end of the world isn’t far enough for William to lose his runaway mouth.
But is it far enough to lose his loneliness?

Mixed bag of thoughts with this one

I nearly ditched this one because for more than a half of the book I really wasn't feeling any connection with the characters.

Heath was an arse, Will was a mass of neuroses and I didn't want them to get together at all.

But then the story sort of flipped and became less angsty and a bit more fun even with all the problems and I started to believe they could work as a pairing.

Having said that, I don't believe Will read as an almost 30 year-old man at all, he came over very much like a confused young adult so that didn't help and I never understood how old Heath was supposed to be.

On the other hand. I loved the secondary characters in this setting.

[Line]

Yeah, this is sad, but it is gonna be a 'return for refund' at around 43%.
I did NOT hit my stride with Heath; he just pissed me off, and his hot and cold routine got OLD, annoying AND frustrating pretty fast.
I liked William somewhat, and I got the sense that he could have been an AMAZINGLY strong character, with some great insights:

Heath had it wrong. There was nothing wrong with Vicky—it wasn’t her that would crash and burn. It was him. He was the one afraid of dogs, who couldn’t eat foods that were mixed together, who couldn’t keep his big mouth shut. Honestly, it was no wonder he’d never found someone who’d really loved him. He was a mess.

And some GRIT:

Will’s eye twitched along with his jaw, and any arousal he felt being near the guy fizzled away. “Are you seriously doing that asshole’s bidding? Wow, I don’t know whether to clap you on the back for being such a loyal friend despite what a fucker he is, or tell you to piss off and leave me alone.” He gave a dry laugh. “What am I kidding? The choice is easy. Piss off.”

But when one of the MCs rub you the wrong way from almost the beginning, and things haven't looked up at 40%, while there's STILL not an apology in sight?! Yeah, I'm gonna throw in the towel...

There were quite a few GREAT Anyta Sunday-specials:
In it were some pens and lined paper, and a book he thought suspiciously looked like a bible, but when he pulled it out found it was a collection of poems. Thank God. Er, no pun intended or anything.
and this will definitely not be my last AS, this was just a miss for me.

[Ariana (mostly offline) · Rating 3 out of 5]

That was quite the pull and push.
The hot and cold.
The yes and no.
It got a bit confusing and annoying at times.

And although I tend to enjoy this kind of stuff – there were times when I couldn’t help muttering a confused ‘what?’ at the behaviour of either MC.

I loved the interesting ‘William’ scenario. (Sorry, I can’t get into detail without a major spoiler!) I haven’t come across anything like this. And I liked how it played out, in general. Not that I really know about the psychology of it. But the hurt and pain of the situation is palpable and totally heart-breaking.

Admittedly, Willwas grating on my nerves a litte bit – he is so massively insecure about himself and relationships he often acts like someone much younger than his 27 years. His reason for breaking up with Heath felt totally childish to me. I actually sat there, gob-smacked he would act like that.

And Heath is just a huge bagful of indecision ...
I also expected some major plotline about Heath coming out to his (it seems mainly homophobic) friends, but that did not happen.

Still – this was quite enjoyable, all in all, and I will go for the last book to see how life pans out for Rory.
We never did get any kind of information what happened with him after the restaurant incidence.

Tutti i libri di Anyta che ho letto finora mi sono piaciuti parecchio, merito sia di una brava autrice che di piacevoli traduzioni. Di questa saga, è quasi sicuramente il volume che mi ha coinvolta di più, anche se pure i precedenti sono stati un gradevole intrattenimento.
Will, conosciuto di striscio nel precedente volume, non mi stava molto simpatico, ma qui l'ho rivalutato completamente: lui e la sua lingua lunga, i modi gentili, le premure per gli amici, l'animo buono, ma anche l'ironia e le imperfezioni che lo rendono adorabile.
Anche Heath, con le sue incongruenze, i modi gentili mescolati a quelli bruschi, è un personaggio che incuriosisce.
Fin dall'inizio, sulla storia grava un peso sconosciuto, un sottaciuto che incuriosisce e un po' spaventa, perché è chiaro che sia foriero di guai.
A carte scoperte, non si può non parteggiare per questi protagonisti e per tutte le comparse che meritano di ritrovare la serenità e la pace.
Ho adorato Sig e 'Dance, che arricchiscono la trama, ma anche mamma Vicky e Eric, il protagonista del prossimo libro di questa serie.
Questa è una storia completa, dove c'è amore, dolore, gelosia, fraintendimenti, dubbi, risate e lacrime. Una bella lettura, completa e sicuramente meritevole.

[☆ Todd · Rating 4 out of 5]

After reading "St-st-stuffed", I really looked forward to learning more about William's story. I would suggest reading the prequel, "Get It" (Enemies to Lovers, #2.5), just so that you have a bit of a background on Heath before 'the horrible event' happened. I'm glad that I did.

I got the feeling from the very beginning of the book that Heath wasn't quite the douche that he was trying to be to William, so the whole enemies aspect of the story never really seemed all that real to me. Likeable prick is more the feeling that I got.

But William himself was very entertaining. The words 'blurt' and 'unfiltered' come to mind, but you may want to use all caps on those words after you read the book for yourself. He truly just didn't know when to STFU. As in e-v-e-r.

Also, the crew of the Freak Zone actually enhanced the book a lot for me, which is nice. You always read these books where extra characters are thrown and and feel like absolutely nothing but "[insert another character here]" filler. That was so not the case here. They made the book even better.

I enjoyed this book every bit as much as its predecessor.

[Nancy Carbajal · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was somewhat fustrated with Williams story. He was treated horribly in "St-St-Stuffed" and I thought once again he was treated badly in "William." He's so hard on himself and the fact that he chooses someone with problems to begin with and thinks that he's at fault for all that happens kinda drives me crazy. But I must admit, life is not all its cracked up to be at times and if we want someone, its not always an easy ride or trip. I hope he's mentioned in "The F Words (Enemies to Lovers)" and he's gotten a better deal in that his boyfriend at least says those three little words and not a "Lets see what happens." He deserves more than that. IMHO!

3.5 Stars

This was a good story but the premise was a little overdone. It presumed a lot with Heath's family and Heath's reactions were a little inconsistent at times. He was a little all over the place in his reactions. I never felt like everything came from a true place. That being said I did like Will and Heath as a couple. Also I enjoyed all the rest of the Freak office. They were a lot of fun and were there for Will when he needed them.

It wasn't really that hard to figure out what was going on with Heath's family situation even before they finally told Will. And it stretched out longer than maybe it needed to. Though Will and Heath's mom had some lovely moments together and the final resolution of that storyline was very sweet, if a little heartbreaking.

I'm glad to be continuing with this series.

I enjoyed this. I love the enemies to lovers trope. Hurt/comfort...etc.
The only negative...I felt the story ended a bit abruptly/rushed.

[Erica Chilson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the 4th book by Anyta Sunday that I've read during my quest to read her entire backlist. I enjoy her work, simply entertaining. In the previous books, I noticed the characters using colloquialisms that are not from their regions, words they would never know existed. This wasn't a huge issue for me until the 3rd book in the Enemies to Lovers series- William. It seemed exacerbated somehow- more so than in the earlier installments.

I need to state, William is from Pennsylvania for all 27 years of his life.(I am also a Pennsylvanian. The United States is huge, and we differ greatly in slang and colloquialisms throughout all 50 states. Being as I am from not only the same region of the US as the character but the state as well, we should have been copacetic)

William goes to New Zealand to finish his schooling, but he's speaking as the natives before he even arrives. Not only in dialogue but inner monologue. Now, this normally isn't a huge issue for me. But as I said, it seemed exacerbated more so than usual. I found myself having to reach for my cellphone to Google usages, trying to discern what the heck the character was describing. I still have no clue what ZIPS are, as the context at one point removed the possibility of them being zippers, but then later made it seem as if they were. My point being, it is not up to the reader to educate themselves on the colloquialisms of the characters, especially when the character is from their own back yard. However, I understand the reader educating themselves when it is a location that is foreign to them. What I mean, the author is the one who should have made William authentic to his place of origin, or simply created all of the characters in New Zealand to eradicate the issue.

I don't want to be a nip-pick. But Pennsylvanians do not call parking lots car parks. We do not call the stove burners elements. We do not call a car trunk a boot. We do not say crapity and blimey unless we have been around those who do. We do not use the word zips for anything other than the verb to close. We do not call the living room/den/family room the lounge. (again, that is a verb, or the chair in which you use the verb) The word used for a carton of ice cream from William (which I assume is a carton. I could be mistaken) is defined as a wire basket. (I just let that one go and kept reading). William would have called it a carton of ice cream, or a pint or quart of ice cream.

I need to express how I enjoy learning about other cultures and their word usages and putting them into practice. So that was not my issue.

In order to fall into the story, to stop myself from picking up my cellphone to search word meanings, I had to pretend William was born halfway across the world in New Zealand to make him authentic. Otherwise, I was simply confused, as if he had never stepped foot into the North Eastern region of the United States. While the first two books in the series did a fairly decent job of maintaining the authenticity, William did not. I was relieved when I found out Book #4 was set in New Zealand with New Zealanders.

With all this being said, I immediately bought and started The F Word. I do enjoy Anyta Sunday, even if some of the things are formulaic, conversations that should happen off-scene are shown (the creepy after-effects of gay sex), and the language is not consistent with the characters' origins. I will continue my quest of reading the entire backlist.

[Arthur · Rating 2 out of 5]

1.5 stars rounded up to 2 stars per GR system.

For me, this is the weakest book in the series. I've read St-st-stuffed so many times, and was looking forward to read the story about Karl's ex, William. I thought he was a nice character who got to suffer from the situation not exactly from his fault, whose story I'd like to read. Unfortunately, I was reading a wrong book. This is a book about the other William, a completely different person from the William we met in the previous book. I didn't really care about this William.

Let me start with what I did like.
- William doesn't break easily, and at least the first 2/3 of the book they talk.
- there's no angst from being with another guy while waiting for decision.
These two points bumped the book up half star.

Now, what made me giving 1 stars.
In a competition coking shows like Top Chief or Hell's Kitchen, sometimes the judges say something like "I think the cinnamon overpowering the main ingredients." Usually, that's because the contestant thought putting cinnamon would make his dish unique and distinguish himself from the other contestants. Sometimes, when the amount is appropriate, it does make the difference. But, often, the contestant goes overboard with his extra ingredient and it eclipses the main ingredient that the judges ask them to prepare that day. In my humble opinion, I believe that is also the case with this book.


The main ingredient, the story of William and Heath-because that's what made us buy the book, is eclipsed by the story of the Wallace family. The m/m story took a second fiddle so the family drama can be unfolded. Sure, the narrator is William but he's there only as a vehicle to tell us the story that Ms. Sunday wanted to tell. Perhaps that's not her deliberate choice at the onset, but at the end that's what happened. As a result, I never felt any connection with either of the supposedly main characters. I didn't care whether they were together at the end or not. I even didn't care when the obligatory break-up plot too place.

How do I know that the primary story that the author really wanted to tell us is about the Wallaces? The conversation between Vicky and Greg alone without the kids. It wraps up the whole family saga nicely but doesn't contribute anything to William & Heath's story. We never seen Sig & Candice, characters of another secondary story talked between themselves without William there. Not even Heath alone without William had the privilege to be heard by the readers.

Btw, the secondary story, about William and Heath, is kinda ending with HFN. Partly because the author is planning to write a sequel with different couple as the main story with William & Heath's as a third-level story (because if in this book, which is supposedly about them, theirs was secondary, I can imagine when it's about someone else theirs would be bumped down a notch). If I knew, I'd withhold buying this until the sequel is out. Even more convinced now that I shouldn't have read it in the first place because it turned out it's about a different William from the one I expected.

Needless to say, I won't read this repeatedly like I did with St-st-stuffed.

[Camy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good read. I liked, as I always do, watching, so to speak, two people who've been broken in by life find love and meld and mend their hearts. I enjoyed the realism of Heath and his family tackling grief incurred by death and of Will working through his grief resulting from disappointment, having his feelings disregarded and from being discarded. These characters coming to terms with their lives and losses through (because of) and throughout their relationship was immensely satisfying to read. The book is well written too, which adds to the pleasure I took in it. Another component qualifying it as a good read, well two other elements, are the interesting secondary characters and the writer's passion for New Zealand which comes alive under her pen.

In spite of the aforementioned, however, the book is a little dry. The sex, the relationship, the pull needed a li'l more heat for me! Yes, my love of character study, psychology -to some extent-, human behaviour etc is fulfilled here in some regard but...bring the heat. I didn't FEEL it enough. So for me, while it was a good read, it wasn't wow. Still, I'd give Ms. Sunday another chance. If she intends on following up with these characters, secondary included, I would be curious to see where they go. I just hope for any possible sequels she takes the damn mittens off. But then again, not everyone can write passion though they may write passionately.

ps: this book could use a little proofreading...few grammatical errors, missed words etc.

It's hard for me to summarize my thoughts about this book. I started really liking it, liking Will and his freakish behavior, trying to like Heath but not successfully getting there. I think that's my problem really. I didn't get Heath. His behavior was a constant "Hot-Cold". When he was cold he was downright mean to Will but when he was hot it was worse. He was SO high-handed I felt I can't connect with him AT ALL and didn't understand what Will saw in him. The story, through the name of the book, holds a dark secret, a truly heart breaking one and though I felt bad for the Wallace family and everything they went through I didn't feel the coupling of Heath and Will was "right".

After his bad break up with Karl (the MC from the second installment), William Sharp needs to sort his life. He decides continuing his studies in the far away New Zealand is his best bet. He got a sweet deal with Vicky Wallace who offered him a place to stay while her son is in College but not long before he arrives Vicky tells him of a change in plans - her son would actually be living with them. Nothing to freak about really.. Right?

While he has a great start with Vicky (only qualm being her insisting on calling him "William" while he prefers the less stuck up and official version - Will), he and Heath don't get along AT ALL. Heath tells him right from the start he better start looking for another place before things would "crash and burn". Heath is being cryptic about the whys and Vicky having "bad days" she can't lift herself of her bed isn't helping. There's a secret. A dark secret the Wallaces' are NOT telling him.

He finds great friends at College. Freaks like him! Well, each is different yet they are all the same, if they wear a cape and a wand a few times a week or they don't.. They were a nice add. I liked seeing Will finding his place even while not truly realizing it. He might be considering going back to the States, but for me it was obvious he felt simply GREAT in this new wonder of a place. Only question is, will he share his new found happiness with Heath who plays "Hot-Cold" with his interest in Will.

Their romance was a bit strange. At a certain point Heath was clear about his attraction to Will but not clear on what his intentions are.. Though he started acting jealous and high-handed fast enough.. Taking Will's phone and ending a call with a friend he though he was seeing romantically, removing items out of Will's bag before a cycling trip together ("we can share a toothbrush"). Maybe others would find his behavior endearing I found it disgusting. It was obvious at a certain point Heath DOES care for Will but I didn't like the way he showed it. We only get Will's POV. I wonder if I would have felt differently if I could be inside heath's mind - understanding his motives..

I don't know. I enjoyed so much of this book, but NONE of it was the romance. I think it was mostly the journey Will went through from a guy who can't find himself anywhere, having the WORST slip ups possible, to someone who feels a lot better about himself, can even handle his quirkiness better, have friends he can count on and even in the very end a guy of his own. Will deserved all that. Though he shattered Karl's life he truly meant well, he acted from his heart and it cost him (and Karl..) everything. Now he can finally make it up to HIMSELF with a future of his own.

Like the other books in this series this book can be read on it's own. Yeah you'll get a bit about Karl (from the second installment) but frankly it doesn't really matter to the story. Though this wasn't my favorite I'm interested what the next one will be like as we've already met the two MCs and KNOW they don't get along.. One being a real douche..

RECENSIONE A CURA DI SLANIF
William “Will” Sharp è appena atterrato in Nuova Zelanda dagli Stati Uniti d’America per completare il suo percorso di studi.
È in aeroporto, in attesa che la donna che lo ospiterà per quei mesi – Vicky Wallace – lo venga a prendere, quando comincia a perdere le speranze rendendosi conto che i minuti passano inesorabili e della donna non c’è traccia.
Sarà la sua goffaggine e una valigia tra i piedi a fargli scoprire che Vicky ha mandato suo figlio Heath a recuperarlo.
Se, in un primo momento, Heath si dimostra amichevole, non appena capisce che è lui, il suo atteggiamento cambia repentinamente, trasmutandosi in freddo e scostante.
Will, chiaramente, non riesce a capire il perché di tale comportamento, e ci metterà molto tempo a sfogliare tutti gli strati di Heath e a scoprire i segreti e i sentimenti nascosti, le paure, ma Will è un ragazzo tenace che vuole il di lieto fine, quindi non ha nessuna intenzione di arrendersi!
Il percorso per la loro felicità sarà irto di ostacoli, ma volete che non riescano a coronare il loro sogno d’amore?

Installment 3 of Anyta Sunday's Enemies to lovers series is better than the first 2 but even less of a story about enemies. Will moves to New Zealand (thank the lord she finally put her characters here instead of in the US) and has arranged to live in a room of lady who sends her son, Heath, to pick him up from the airport. Before they know who the other is they are checking each other out. Once Heath knows who Will is his behaviour changes and he makes it clear he does not want Will living in his mother's house. That is Heath hating the situation, not hating Will. So if that genre is what you were wanting you won't find it here. Thankfully for me I was wanting a nice easy romance and I got exactly that. I'm pretty sure I won;t remember much next week but it was nice while it lasted.

I liked the secondary characters a lot. Will's office mates are great and I never felt like they were filler. I thought the conversations were well done even though I kept mentally screaming at Will "Put a sock in it, no not your pants you moron, your mouth!".

William and Heath need time to confront the obstacles that hinder them from risking everything for love. And they are given in this sweet and slow building story. It's not all happy but.

✔ Letto! Questa volta conosceremo la storia di William e la sua lingua lunga, che nel libro precedente ha messo nei guai Karl.
Mi ha incuriosita tantissimo e sono felice che ci sia un libro su di lui. Comunque la sua lingua non è così lunga, solo spontanea, senza filtri, vera. E per via della sua lingua l'ho amato.
La fine del libro mi ha presa all'improvviso, senza accorgermi me lo sono trovata davanti.
Come sappiamo, Will si trova in Nuova Zelanda a finire i suoi studi e dare una nuova prospettiva alla sua vita dopo che con la rottura a suon di pugni con Karl i suoi piani per il futuro ha avuto una svolta. Voglia di cambiare aria e paese e li ad aspettarlo all'aeroporto c'è il suo futuro, c'è Heart.
Quello che non si aspettava è di venir coinvolto a suo malgrado nella problematica della famiglia che lo ospita, quella di Heart. Mi ha lasciata con i peli dritti per una buona parte del libro fino a scoprire di cosa si trattava.
In questa sua nuova esperienza lontano da casa, Will imparerà a pensare prima di aprire bocca, a valutare un po meglio le persone, delle volte facendosi anche troppi problemi. Imparerà che le azione parlano più delle parole.
Si fa alcuni buoni amici del suo gruppo di "strambi", personaggi secondari forti e indimenticabili come sempre è libri della Sunday come Sig e Candice, Eric (che per fortuna avremo un libro su di lui) e anche i genitori di Heart, senza dimenticare James e Benny che sono in giro per l'Europa.
Un bel libro anche se la mia mente curiosa è rimasta senza varie risposte. Qnt anni ha Heart, era più piccolo, coetaneo o più grandi di Will? Ma nel libro precedente Will da quello che ha fatto capire Karl è uno generoso con le mancia tanto da lasciare il 30%. Ma Heart e Will sono ricchi? Come fanno a mantenersi? Ho trovato molto strano questi vuoti lasciati dalla autrice, senza bravissima a spiegare bene il tutto.
Nonostante tutto, un bel libro pieno di storie interessanti e luoghi da scoprire insieme a Will e Heart in giro per la Nuova Zelanda.
Per me è ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ e 💋
*Peccato peccato e peccato che i traduttori italiani non sempre traducono i libri di mezzo, quello che spiegava come ha avuto inizio la storia tra Banny e James😉 presenti anche in questo libro, ho sentito che c'era una storia dietro e sono andata a cercarlo... e mi ha datto alcune risposte alle domande fatte di sopra.

Will often speaks before he thinks, but he is also a bit of a romantic. This leads him into outing his lover Karl (Book 2) to his family. Needless to say Karl dumps him. Will packs up and heads to New Zealand to finish his degree and get a new perspective on his life.

Will likes his new landlady and finds her surly son Heath attractive. He makes friends and the work on his degree goes well. However, life never runs smoothly for Will. Due to no fault of his own, Will becomes embroiled in his new landlady's family drama (read it to find what and why).

Heath finds Will a new place to live, and the family drama slowly stats to draw to a close. Will and Heath spend more and more time together. Things move along swimmingly until the drama llama shows up. Will has fallen in love and becomes upset when Heath doesn't say "I love you too". He spends a couple of miserable weeks indulging in a pity party until he gets some good advice from his friend Sig.

Will talks to Heath and more importantly finally listens. Through the course of the book, he learns two important things: actions speak louder than words and it isn't always about Will.

For the most part I liked this one, but my practical side rears its head. Will flies to New Zealand (tickets aren't cheap) and he is finishing his degree. How he is paying for any of this? Also, Heath has dropped out of Uni and seems to have spending money. How does he support himself? What does his mom do for money? Lastly, the book ended on a HFN. How is Will going to stay in New Zealand? What are the laws concerning moving to there? I hate blank spaces of this nature.
