The cruel prince! Although that is more of a political fantasy than a love story
@shaniece ooh i'll check it out!@keyisha on my tbr but i'll move it up in priority!
Powerless by Lauren Robert’s 😭😭😭💙💙
I read that one and let's just say it didn't do it for me :/
the school did good and evil ! i read it when i was 12 and oh my god
the cruel prince and shatter me, I like the way the characters slowly fall in love without meaning to 🤭
@nova ughhh but the series is sooo long 😭 but i'll consider it. if shatter me somehow ends up in my hands, i'll read it. otherwise, idk if i can do it i'm sorry😭😭@savnah cruel prince is on my tbr! looking forward to reading it!
lmfaoo so it was actually bollywood that got me obsessed with the trope but the cruel prince is like the holy grail of enemies to lovers, and as a person who didn't enjoy powerless very much either, the cruel prince was honestly amazing
@ash okay you convinced me. i'm gonna read cruel prince as soon as possible!
shatter me, the cruel prince, and bride
@mineli lol all these comments about shatter me... FINE the next time i'm shopping for books i'll buy it!
@belle @matilda on my tbr/have already read. thank you for the suggestions!!@georgia ooh okay. thanks!
@ Cassie it’s long IF you choose to read all the novellas. But I didn’t and just read the first three books and trust me it’s worth it.
@nova hmmm okay that makes it more manageable. thanks bestie!! <3
Matthias and Nina from Six of Crows, my babies 😭😭💙💙And, ofc, Aaron and Juliette from Shatter Me 💞
@sophie ooh yeah i've been meaning to read six of crows... maybe this year!
@emj never heard of it but i'll check it out, thanks!

@layla i'm working through the series rn! it's so good so far, i can tell why you recommend it!
Hello everyone im new to this group! But my favorite enemies to lovers book was the Haunting Adeline series that was my first intro to dark romance and i absolutely fell inlove with books after that!
It was not the first but certainly made me fall in love with this trope captive prince
def better than the movies 🤭🤭
I really loved Cruel Prince series. It really showed true enemies to lovers
I'm not sure if I love the trope, but I liked the chemistry between Jude and Cardan!
Not even gonna lie but after 😭 I have since grown 🙏🏻 I promise
For me, it’s the idea that someone can actively see the worst parts of you/ hates you but can still be convinced you are good and worthy of love. It’s the determination of a person to stay and within that, committing to growing a connection (whether it’s done under the guise of seeking revenge, false allies, etc)
Enemies to lovers is amazing for ppl with a rough exterior that push away before they let ppl in. I love how the characters fall in love despite showing the ugly before the good. My way of flirting irl is making fun of guys and being mean as a defense mechanism so reading the banter is great to keep in mind next time a hot guy tries to talk to me and I make fun of their shirt instead😇
i don’t know if it counts but once upon a broken heart😭✊✊🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🧎♀️➡️🧎♀️➡️
heartless hunter is a great one!!! #runeandgideon4ever
I love a lot of these books!! One of my favorite ones is the Shatter Me series.
CRUEL PRINCE HAS RAISED MY STANDARD FOR THIS TROPE!!SHATTER ME HAS MY FRICKEN HEART RIGHT NOW
