I will read anything Alisha Rai writes and this sequel to Partners in Crime was a must read. We love more crime and romance duos! Plus Rai never misses! Keep reading this book review of Enemies to Lovers for my full thoughts.
Summary
Sejal Chaudhary inherited her mama’s calculating brain, her daddy’s quick fingers, and the boatload of trauma that comes with being the eldest daughter of criminals. Although Sejal has never claimed to be a good girl, she’s spent the last couple years laying low and going (mostly) straight. That is, until a con gone wrong sends her into the arms of a handsome stranger who’s set on dragging her back into her messy family drama.
Krish Anand never mastered the fine art of being a bad boy…he would take a book over bullets any day. But when his FBI agent brother goes missing, he has no choice but to suit up for the adventure of a lifetime. Certain that someone in Sejal’s little crime family is behind the disappearance, a desperate Krish manages to convince the beautiful thief that his brother’s badge is actually his.
The deal is simple: help him find his brother, and Krish and the law will leave Sejal be. With an up-to-no-good ex also hot on her trail, Sejal reluctantly agrees. As they wind their way across the country on planes, buses, and automobiles, sparks ignite, and what began as a fragile temporary truce starts to look more and more like a partnership.
Falling for the enemy? So cliche, but so good…if only they can survive long enough to chance a happily ever after.
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Alisha Rai is an author who always gets me. I loved the character dynamics and banter. Rai is such an expert at pulling our heart strings. And poor Sejal who is struggling with family issues – both daddy and mommy issues – and on the run from her past. She avoids family with a capital F and Krish drags her back into the fray when he convinces her to help him find his brother and get tangled up with the law and her past. Sejal is 100% my favorite mostly because she has to figure out how to take herself seriously. When she’s spent so much of her time on the run, she has no time to think of her potential, of what she could be. But what could she be?

Enemies to Lovers is full of our favorite tropes, inconvenient attraction, and lies everywhere. For Sejal and Krish, they have to figure out if they can truly open up to each other let alone trust her. I loved witnessing them get to know each other, their quirks, flaws, and fears. And Krish ended up captivating me in the end especially his own family. Older siblings abound, Enemies to Lovers is a story about love and family. About the ones we love having good intentions and ones who show up for us when they don’t have to. If you are looking for an action packed romance story, check this out!
