The enemies-to-lovers romance books trope is a fan favorite and for good reason – the tension, the slow burn, and the satisfying payoff when sworn adversaries finally give in to their feelings.
There are so many ways authors play with this dynamic. We’ve got political rivals, competing professionals, and feuding families. Some stories keep the characters at each other’s throats until the very end, while others have them falling into bed (or love) much sooner. The best ones strike a delicate balance, making the characters dislike each other enough to create tension, but not so much that their eventual relationship feels unbelievable.
