Enemies to Lovers #1-4
Enemies to Lovers
Get four fun sexy gay romance novels (and one bonus novella!) in this box set! Light hearted, sweet, new adult gay romance stories of guys turning from enemies to lovers.
Shane and Trey (Book 1)
Shane is a little bit screwed, he's just started college and stuck rooming with that bastard Trey. His sister's boyfriend. His sister's damn fine boyfriend. Uh-oh. This so wasn't going to happen. But try as he might, there's just a little too much to ignore between the two of them...
St-st-stuffed (Book 2)
Other than his most prized Lamborghini, Karl Andrews has nothing to his name. He’s down on his luck and his dollar, and his dream of becoming a professional chef is looking more and more like a pipedream. Even less than a pipedream when restaurants won’t even take him on as a waiter.
And he won’t ever, no not ever, consider selling his one possession. No matter how much he could make from it. Just wasn’t going to happen.
He’d rather . . . rather . . .
Hell, he’d rather apply for that position to be a Girl Friday.
Other than the title, the job sounds all right. Bit of cooking, cleaning—nothing he can’t handle.
Really.
Until he goes to the interview and discovers the man looking for the help is the same man he’d bullied, mocked, terrified as a boy. But Paul Hyte is obviously a better man, gracious and forgiving. And trusting—as the biggest part of the job requires looking after his son.
Despite the initial forgiveness, things are tentative between Karl and Paul, and they’ve both got to reconcile their pasts if they want any type of proper closure. As the two men learn more about each other an undeniable attraction grows between them—but can the two manage to forge a future together on such a rocky past and complicated present?
Get It (Book 2.5 - bonus novella)
Unrequited love is a bitch. It sucks you into a narrowly focused world and leaves you blind as a bat to other things...
William (Book 3)
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?
The F Words (Book 4)
Rory A. Phillips is sick of being haunted. Sick of hurting. Sick of being so fucking lost. Whenever he ‘sees’ his best friend William, he’s packing up his motorbike and on the move. But is there a place he can run to that will ever be free of William? A place where he could ever learn to love? A place he can call home?
After losing his last living relative, Eric Graham moves to Wellington to start a new job and a new life. Alone—save for his grandpa’s ashes he can’t bring himself to scatter in the sea. The only guy in the city he knows is a homophobic prick that he’d rather have nothing to do with—but he just can’t stop running into him.
Rory and Eric, both grieving and alone, are searching for a way to move on.
And maybe the best way to do that is together.

4.5 Stars
Enjoyed this series, each book CAN be read as a standalone though there are connections between the books and mild spoilers if you read out of order.
Not all the books were a true enemies to lovers but anyhow they worked well together with a lovely slow burn. My favorite were the 2nd and 4th books. These for me are a MUST READ.

Shane and Trey (Book #1) [Shane Watson & Trey Brennan] ★★★★
A nice start to the series, Shane and Trey were sweet together even if their start was a bit rocky (I wouldn't truly say it was Enemies to Lovers though). Them getting together was more than akward considering Trey was Shane's twins sister's boyfriend.. But when honesty and true feelings are out there, it's hard to ignore. Though I enjoyed this one I wish we got a bit more than we actually did.
St-St-Stuffed (Book #2) [Karl Andrews & Paul Hyte] ★★★★★
Sweetness! I loved Karl and Paul story. A true Enemies to Lovers! (As Karl used to torment Paul when they were in school). I also really enjoyed Charlie (Paul's son) - the one Karl was taking care of as a "Girl Friday" for Paul. He might not be qualified for the job but how hard can it be to take care of a 4 years old, make a few meals and clean up a bit around the house - well EASY considering he gets Paul (and Charlie)'s hearts in the process.
Get It (Book 2.5#) [Benny Reece & James Stewart] ★★★
This novella is a sort of prelude into the next novel. It takes place in New Zealand where Benny and James, best friends, are studying. While Benny is desperately trying to find the love of his live in Heath (on of the MCs in the next novel) he takes his time realizing all Heath could have be is a replacement to the REAL guy he is in love with - James.
Truth be told I was a bit impatient with Benny. He broke James' heart SO many times all I could do is feel sorry for poor James.
William (Book #3) [William Sharp & Heath Wallace] ★★★½
We've met Heath in the previous short novella but he was a carefree guy back then, before tragedy struck. I didn't like the way he treated Benny (stringing him along with his girlfriend I'm not even sure he was into..) and with Will he wasn't any better. He was waiting for the ship to sink - mostly his mother breaking apart not realizing he too has his issues to deal with. Will was smack in the middle of all that. Living with Heath, his mother and a silent ghost. Yet through it all, both Heath and Vicky (Heath's mother) fell for Will. They found in him happiness and joy the both lacked. It wasn't easy for Will, to trust when he wasn't sure his heart has the capacity after what he went through with Karl. Yet when true love strikes..
The F Words (Books #4) [Eric Graham & Rory A. Phillips] ★★★★★
What a GREAT way to finish the series. I LOVED this one. I'm actually not sure now which was my favorite, this one or the 2nd installment! We've met both Rory and Eric in the previous installment and though we got a little bit about the two, Rory being a douche was NOT lost.. But his behavior bad then was more than explained. I truly felt for him, him and Eric too who was a good friend to Will in the previous installment yet was still quite an enigma before this book. Both Rory and Eric are lost and on their own. They didn't think they'd find good company and even friendship between them, but moving to Wellington, being the only familiar face in town, Eric makes his moves to get to know Rory even if he hurt him a few years back. It takes time, it's a wonderful slow burn, with the friendship taking time to build as well.

Shane and Trey
3 stars
Mainly due to expectations. I was expecting a more light-hearted story but it got heavy. Though I did like how that particular plot line was handled.
St-st-stuffed
3.5 stars
I did like this better than the first story but the one thing that bothered me was Charlie was absolutely adorable.
Get it
3.5 stars
A nice, sweet short story (not in line with the enemies to lovers theme but I liked it).
William
4 stars
Oh I really liked this one. William was awkward yet sweet and I loved the cast especially Candice. The revelation in this one was shocking yet the conclusion to it was really sweet and hopeful.
The F Word
5 stars
My favourite story of the lot. This, along with William, were angsty (and I did expect it unlike the first story) and I loved how the characters moved forward and over it. Rory was so full of hurt and it was nice to see him moving forward. And again, there were great supporting characters like Rory's uncle and cousin.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. I also liked how the characters linked from book to book.

I really like Anyta Sunday's writing style.
If you like slow burn romance you need to read her books!
The characters development is well done, they grow and learn from their mistakes.
The supports characters are interesting, they're not just background people
