The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy (Dearly Beloathed, #1)
von Brigitte Knightley
'Utterly unique, hilarious, swoony beyond my wildest dreams! This book is an instant classic and a true masterpiece, it took my breath away and made my heart explode' Ali Hazelwood A slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a scholarly healer and a gentleman assassin, set in an exquisite fantasy world, perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, is in dire need of healing. Naturally - such is the grim comedy of fate - the only healer who can help is Aurienne Fairhrim, preeminent scientist, bastion of moral good, and member of an enemy Order. Aurienne is desperate for funding to heal the sick - so desperate that, when Osric bribes her to help him, she accepts, even if she detests him and everything he stands for. A forced collaboration ensues: the brilliant Woman in STEM is coerced into working with the PhD in Murders, much to Aurienne's disgust. As Osric and Aurienne work together to heal his illness and investigate the mysterious reoccurrence of a deadly pox, they find themselves ardently denying their attraction, which only fuels the heat between them. Tropes include: Enemies-to-lovers High interaction slow burn Hypercompetent idiots He falls first and harder Slaughter as a love language Praise for The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy: 'Brilliant and wildly imaginative, with a delicious forbidden romance set in a fascinating fantasy world. Knightley is a remarkable talent, weaving together witty comedy, slow-burn longing, and heart-wrenchingly poetic imagery' Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon 'With the most wickedly delicious banter, Brigitte Knightley is sure to become your next favourite author. This had all the things I love most: a slow-burn romance that hurts so good, truly agonizing enemies-to-lovers, with a twisty mystery at its core' Julie Soto, author of Forget Me Not 'Brigitte Knightley is such a wonderfully talented writer with a unique voice and a real genius for banter. Anyone who loves enemies-to-lovers romantasy, will surely adore The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy!' India Holton author of The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love 'The slow burn romance of my dreams. Whip smart, creative, and brimming with banter and wit . . . both the hero and heroine had me laughing and shouting to just kiss already. This one is a rare delight' Isabel Ibañez, author of What the River Knows 'Utterly unique and delightful, this is the perfect romantasy for those who like their villains (and heroes) with a touch of murder, thievery, and questionable morals. Sexy and hilarious with dry-as-bone humour, Knightley's writing is not to be missed' Elissa Sussman, author of Funny You Should Ask 'This debut boasts gorgeously-written, vivid settings, a unique magic system and fresh fantasy world, razor-sharp wit, and graceful characterization. In short, Knightley's debut is nothing short of irresistible itself' Isabel Cañas, author of The Hacienda

Rezension von MarieReread – und beim zweiten Mal hat es sich irgendwie angenehmer gelesen. Beim ersten Durchgang bin ich ziemlich durchgehustled, jetzt konnte ich mehr aufnehmen. Die Welt fand ich wieder spannend, so leicht an England angelehnt mit einem schönen, eigenen Charme. Und der Witz trifft einfach meinen Geschmack. Die Tension… mag ich sehr. Ist ein sehr langsamer Slow Burn, aber für mich funktioniert das, weil sich alles nachvollziehbar entwickelt. Nichts wirkt überstürzt. Die Schlüsselmomente sind dafür umso stärker. Die sind so beschrieben, dass sie mich richtig packen konnten. Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall auf Band 2. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Ich komme mit der Gewissenlosigkeit des Protas nicht ganz klar. Hoffe, dass sich das im nächsten Band noch etwas entwickelt.
Rezension von maike.readzDas war leider so garnicht meins und das Buch hat es mir wirklich schwer gemacht. Der Anfang war witzig gestaltet und über die Handlung hinweg gab es viele witzige Dialoge. Leider habe ich nie wirklich Zugang zu der Thematik gefunden und mir hat der rote Faden gefehlt. Auch das Ende konnte mich nicht so recht überzeugen 🫠 Für meinen Geschmack zu wenig Handlung und zu wenig Worldbuilding, da hatte ich mir ein bisschen mehr erhofft✨ Ein Highlight war aber die weibliche Hörbuchsprecherin, die das ganze wirklich gut rübergebracht hat🤭
Rezension von Buch.blumeDieses Buch hat mich komplett in seinen Bann gezogen – und das meine ich wirklich so. Von der ersten Seite an war ich gefangen in diesem Feuerwerk aus Schlagabtausch, Funkenflug und genau dem Humor, der mich lauthals zum Lachen gebracht hat. Dieser geistesgeile Witz, der zwischen den Zeilen knistert, ist für mich schon jetzt ein absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal.
Rezension von Lischaa1SO SO CUTE
Rezension von Laura SDie Story war wirklich unterhaltsam, zeitweise habe ich sehr gelacht und gleichzeitig wurde die Spannung zwischen beiden auch gut vermittelt. Irgendwie dachte ich es sei ein Einzelband, weshalb mich das Ende kalt erwischt hat. Ich bin sehr gespannt auf die Fortsetzung! Man kann tatsächlich noch die Grundrisse der Draco x Hermione Fanfiction erkennen, was ich super spannend finde.
