Dear Enemy by Kristen CallihanMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
I quite enjoyed listening to Dear Enemy. It was an easy story to get swept away in and seeing the characters grow along the way. It was interesting seeing Delilah and Macon interact considering what happened in their pasts. I could see that there was going to be more to it and was excited to see them confront what happened between them so long ago.
Delilah cared so much for family and would do anything she could to protect them. Stepping in when her sister took off with something precious of Macon’s was the least that she could do. I felt that she did too much for her sister Sam as she had not been the best sister to her when they were growing up. But watching Deliliah and Macon together I could see that there were feelings growing between them. Macon had been through some hard times of late and needed some help, so taking on Delilah was something he needed. I liked seeing them breaking down each other’s walls and the banter between them was amusing.
There was a bit of drama and intensity through the story, and this brought the characters closer together. I enjoyed the way that Maxine Mitchell and Sebastian York Narrated this story. They told Kristen Callihan’s story well and they kept me enraptured until the end.
