This week we’re taking a little look inside of EWB: Enemies With Benefits by N.R. Walker.
I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did since enemies to lovers is far from my favourite trope, but the hate sex and hurt / comfort was fantastic in this story. Marshall and Valentine were so hot together and their chemistry was off the charts !
Their story was so well written, and I loved to see how the hate slowly grew into something like affection between them. A great and enjoyable read, with high heat and lots of feels!
How it begins…
I hated Valentine Tye.
I hated him with every fibre of my being, with the raging fire of a thousand burning suns. I hated him in ways I couldn’t even describe.
Tropes
- enemies to lovers
- hurt / comfort
- opposites attract
- mental health
- boss / employee
I left him, still lying on his dining table with his trackpants around his thighs, covered in my come, and I walked out.
What to expect
- long term rivals and enemies
- hook-up arrangement
- a little kink
- intense and steamy
- all the chemistry
- slow building affection
- Enzo the cat
I tried to squirm away and he pushed me down harder. “You wanted it,” he grunted. “You fucking take it.”
