There is nothing a classic romance can't solve! After being in that torturous (that's how it felt like!) 3 stars reading slump last month and trying all kinds of different reads to get out of it, all I needed was a pure, heartwarming, full of drama love story to remind me why I was a hopeless romantic in the first place. Seducing The Enemy did exactly that! It was addicting, highly entertaining and overall, a fun, romantic book that I was craving for a long time. On another note, I don't know why I stopped reading these Entangled romances, Kiss, Brazen and Indulgence were my go-to imprints for those fluttering, romantic reads and I really missed them in the past 4-5 months. Well now I'm back on track and hopefully, I won't slack!Seducing The Enemy is a story about family rivalry, forbidden romance and buried secrets. Marietta and Harrison's family are stuck in a decade long court battle which started when Marietta and 2 other passengers were involved in an accident than left her paralyzed from the waist down and soul survivor of that tragedy. The driver was a Damon and the other passenger was Marietta's older sister which means that both families lost someone in that accident, one more than the other, but the sad part about this whole scenario was that instead of getting to mutual agreement and moving on, both the families were insistent on blaming one another for the accident and none of them seemed interested in finding out the real truth behind it. The whole indifference left Marietta and Harrison at a bad place when it came to trust and loyalty and overall made their life, in every literal sense, a constant battle and a living hell.Marietta and Harrison met in a club, were unaware of each other's identity, hit it off pretty well, had attraction that could be termed as insta but felt more natural and "meant to be" like to me and all in all, their story had classic, a little cliched, drama filled romance written all over it and not surprisingly, I loved every bit of it! I love when people have to fight for their love and go through hurdles to prove that they can be together and achieve that happily ever after that everyone talks about, that's the beauty of classic romance and that's what makes me root for real love all the time. Seducing the Enemy brought out the romance addict in me and made me feel all those fluttery feelings that I haven't felt in a long run. In simple words, Marietta and Harrison's story made me fall in love with pure romance all over again. This is what I was missing and I'm so glad to have experienced it.And if my use of words like love and romance a millions time in this review hasn't given any indication, then I don't know what will. Seducing The Enemy was an unplanned, random read that I requested from Negalley just because, but I never expected it to be this good. I strongly recommend fans of contemporary romance to buy this book ASAP. You won't regret it!
