Enemies to lovers fantasy books
The fight comes first. The liking is the accident. Three books, a verdict each, then the sliders if you want more like them.
Angelfall, Susan Ee
Penryn & the End of Days, Book 1
START
Penryn will bargain with the grounded enemy angel if that is what it takes to get her little sister back.
Post-apocalyptic angels, survival partnership, no spice. Best for a fast, sharp apocalypse. Not for cozy romance.
The Cruel Prince, Holly Black
The Folk of the Air, Book 1
WAIT
Jude wants a place in the faerie court that keeps trying to spit her out, and the prince in her way is not a nice boy.
Court politics, knives, a mean slow burn. Best if you like the scheming more than the kiss. Not for anyone who wants the romance to be the point of book one.
The Bridge Kingdom, Danielle L. Jensen
The Bridge Kingdom, Book 1
START
Lara marries the enemy king because her father sent her to ruin him, and the marriage is the mission.
Marriage of convenience, spy bride, open door. Best for a propulsive enemies match. Not for closed-door readers.
