SOOO GOOD!
I really love the banter between Charlotte and Luke, the plot is an intership kind of competition for a chocolate factory (Willy Wonka vibes) and through the book we get to see how Luke and Charlotte developed from enemy to something else!!
This book was so sweet and I will definitely recommend to read it if you like The Hating Game by Sally Thorne!!

My Sweet Enemy is a little Charlie and the Chocolate factory with a bit of a reality show thrown in. This enemies to lovers book has unemployed, swimming in debt, Charlotte getting a shot at working for her chocolate idol Simone though an internship contest. Luke has left the family business to try and make a difference in the world and the internship is his ticket. These two battle it out during the challenges and misconstrued ideas. It was a cute, fast read. I also enjoyed the female friendships made throughout the book. Now, excuse me, I need to go find some truffles to eat. 3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, misspelling, and grammar errors in this review are all on own.

If you’re looking for a super cheesy romance with a lot of unnecessary drama, this book is for you. Unfortunately, it felt like a Lifetime movie in book form and I wasn’t a fan.

Part Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, part reality show, this book is cute. And it will make you hungry for chocolate.

Charlotte is a chocolatier who is out of work and has been blackballed by her previous terrible boss, and her student loan payments are close to due. Luke is estranged from his family business and is trying to make a difference in the world. And they both want the same job.

This is a cute, light read. The premise is adorable. You've got a sunshine one and a stand offish one. There's lots to like.

This is the author's debut novel and it has a lot of promise. Unfortunately, not all of the relationships felt as well developed as they could have been and sometimes I felt like a discussion ticked a box rather than revealed anything about the characters. I also got a little exasperated at how the two MCs kept jumping to the worst conclusions about each other. But I would read more from this author.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Honestly I lost interest about 30 pages in. The main girl was so stuck in her own ways she couldn't see anything beyond her face.
He wanted it all and blah blah.
I wanted to love it but I just didn't.

Every once in a while I like to try out debuts of new writers. Because sometimes they can be a real gem. And because I usually like the books from Entangled Publishing and I really adored the cover (get me some chocolats now!), I requested the arc.
Jenny has an original story, with some references to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And as a girl: who doesn't love a story about a chocolate factory??? I actually worked for a chocolate sprinkles factory for some time, so the story brought back some fine memories and I could smell the chocolate. Also I liked the main characters Charlotte and Luke and their insta-hate attraction. The story contained some funny scenes and the tension builds up nicely. And also, the other characters where a great part of the whole story: the five different interns competing for a job at Simone's chocolates. All with different backgrounds and stories. I especially liked Megan with her social media background. Really cool.
In all, four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Charlotte meets Luke when they are both in a competition for a job at a chocolatier in Seattle. Only one of them can win, but will that stop them growing closer?
A great read and I liked how it is told from both of their points of view, and some great characters.

*3.5 stars

I went into this book with no expectations and ended up finishing it with a smile on my face and a craving for chocolate. (Honestly, be aware, because if you read this book I suggest you eat something beforehand or you will find yourself starving for some sweets.)

I loved the concept of the contest at a chocolate factory (I mean who wouldn't be intrigued by that idea?) and it was soo refreshing that there were no mean girls antics involved and that Charlotte, Megan and Sofia instead formed a genuine friendship. It was big plus the side characters were so great, because I had some difficulties with the hot-and-cold drama going on between Charlotte and Luke. Don't get me wrong, I love a good rivals-to-lovers romance but they just seemed to get off the wrong foot and make assumptions too many times to really establish something. The chemistry was there, but I wanted more out of their banter and relationship than the few golden glimpses we got there and there.

All in all, it's a promising debut novel with likable and different characters, an interesting setting/plot and a story that is bound to make you feel good (and crave lots and lots of chocolate).

Love the story line,nothing better then a steamy story with chocolate, and enemy’s? Reading how Charlotte battles thru her own emotions and her past to fulfill what she wants more then any thing was a treasure. The relationships between all the characters was thoughtful and well written!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a copy of “My Sweet Enemy” by Jenny Hartwell. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

I thought this book was cute! It was exactly what I was in the mood to read. The story follows a competition to work for a chocolate company. Two contestants named Charlotte and Luke compete for a coveted job while fighting their attraction to one another.

This whole book was like the chocolate indulgences depicted in the pages. There were such tasty food descriptions and interesting information about making chocolate. The reality competition aspect was fun as Charlotte and Luke move from competitors to lovers. The two had great chemistry and some steamy scenes. I also liked how Luke wanted to approach his career from an ethical standpoint. That was really admirable and something more businesses should aspire to.

I liked the friendship Charlotte developed with the other contestants. No mean girls here which was refreshing. The author made me root for the other contestants too. Except for Chad which was one of my main issues with the book. There were hints that made me think the author was going to make him more complex but that didn’t end up being the case which I felt was unfortunate.

This was a fun and fast read that had me craving all the chocolate. Like chocolate, the romance could be bittersweet at times, but Charlotte and Luke were characters I rooted for both as a couple and in their careers.

4/5 stars

This was really cute and fun! The premise was a little weird - the fact that the five very different contestants were fighting for the same position was confusing. Also, the challenges could have been clearer, but despite that, I did enjoy myself while reading this!

Great book!! I loved this book! This is a new author to me but it definitely won't be my last! I can't wait for more from this author! Thus book was really funny! The characters were entertaining, the storyline flowed very well! And it was hot! Lol I highly recommend this book! Its well worth the read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
