Never Fall for Your Enemy (especially not at Christmas): A Sweet Enemies to Lovers Rom Com (It's Complicated Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,782 ratings

Step 1: Avoid my hot, annoying new neighbor. Step 2: Fail spectacularly.

You know the guy. Super rich, a face that looks like it was chiselled by angels, and a smirk that deserves its own zip code. Charlie Cavendish, the guy I love to hate.

And now he's moved into my building. Suddenly avoiding him is like trying to dodge London rain clouds. Especially when my late-night escapades—courtesy of my “Single American Girl in London” writing gig—become the highlight reel of his judgmental existence. So what if I arrive home just as he's heading to the office? Some of us have lives, you know.

And now the worst has happened. Here I am, stuck in an elevator with Mr. Charm himself. Alone. On Christmas Eve.

I mean, really, what could go wrong?

Other than
everything.



Never Fall for Your Enemy (especially not at Christmas) is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a smart and sassy American heroine and a swoon-worthy British hero. It's got all the chemistry but none of the spice. It’s the second book in the It’s Complicated series and can easily be read as a standalone novel.

Kennedy gets stuck going on blind dates with her job, and after going on one when she got there, she really wasn't looking forward to it after how that turned out. Then she moves and low and behold her new neighbor is the first blind date.This is a clean American/British romance!

    OVERALL STAR RATING: 4/5
    CLEAN RATING: 5/5

    This was my first read by this author and it was a TON of fun! If you love extremely witty banter, this is a book for you. There are laugh-out-loud moments right from page one.

    Kennedy is an almost 30-year-old American woman working for a magazine in London. Her friends try and set her up with the rich and dashing Charlie Cavendish, but Kennedy immediately writes him off when she assumes his wealth represents all the things she hated about her previous failed relationship with a wealthy man. Charlie is clearly not going to be easily removed from her life as we soon find out. Kennedy takes on a long-term house-sitting job in a high-end building only to realize that Charlie is living in the flat directly above hers. He continues to pursue her and man oh man did I love his cool and collected responses to all of Kennedy’s sarcasm. This Brit had my heart! And with a name like Cavendish, how could he not? (swoon) Lol

    Aside from her unexpected discovery of Mr. Cavendish living in the same building, she is simultaneously overwhelmed by a group of neighborly old ladies who aren’t at all hesitant in playing matchmaker.

    Take all these already awesome components of a story and throw in a crazy little dog with an unhealthy Winnie the Pooh obsession. Or how about a crazy blind date involving a grown man with an unhealthy obsession with gold shorts and a blond wig!? Oh yes, you heard me right. HaHa

    Ultimately a great lesson on teaching us not to assume and jump to conclusions of others. Comedic chaos plus a clean and closed-door romance makes for a fantastic read. I look forward to discovering even more from Kate O’Keeffe.

    Kennedy works in London on a visa provided by the famous Claudette magazine for which she writes. A blind date with a super hot guy went wrong and now she’s apartment sitting in the building he also resides. They say there is a thin line between love and hate, and Kennedy discovers how true that is.

    This is a story about friendship, dedicated work ethics, love, and hope. The characters are wonderful and the locations vividly described. Good friends and a loyal dog are icing on the cake. I loved the book and was sad when I finished reading it. Fortunately this author has several more books waiting for me to read!

    I got about 20% of the way through this story and just couldn't keep reading as one of the main characters was just so ridiculous. It seems so unrealistic to judge every guy based on the one who dropped her for someone else, assuming any guy who has money will treat her the same way. Like when she met Charlie and almost from the start took a snarky attitude with her. And she checks her ex's social media account EVERY day for the past 2 years-what is she, a glutton for punishment? Kennedy seemed to basically not like what her life was like yet not really do anything about it except to move from California to London for a job to get away from her ex and his new love. I guess for me most of the story had to with things other than the romance, so it felt kind of rushed when they did get together.

    I was immediately sucked into the story as our MC went on a blind date together that went less than stellar. The banter and angst continued on from there. It was great. The tension was really good. There were moments with touches of Christmas especially the mistletoe. It was just an entertaining ride in even beyond the romance because there were so many funny moments with characters as they had these adventures in England.

    Like good comfort-food, this book brought me that same cozy feeling. That happy feel-good feeling. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, although I do love a good friends to lovers too. I took to Kennedy straight away, Charlie took a bit more time, but that gave the story depth, that slow way to getting to know someone’s good sides. Some humor made this an easy read, and, like I said, with a happy feeling!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2021
    I really enjoyed this book! It follows the story of American journalist Kennedy who is living in London. When she meets Charlie on a blind date, he seems like her dream man. Sadly, the idea of love at first sight quickly turns to hate and she’s in no hurry to see him again. Ever.

    But when they’re suddenly thrown together, as much as Kennedy tries to resist, her feelings towards Charlie start to change… Cue lots of fun and fireworks!

    The characters are likeable (the Ducks were hilarious!) and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next.

    A sweet, fun and very entertaining festive read!
