OMG, Divine Rivals was such a wild ride! I was hooked from the first letter between Iris and Roman, two rival journalists who fall in love through a magical connection. They have to deal with a war between gods, family drama, and media censorship, and it was so intense and emotional. I loved the enemies-to-lovers vibe, the historical references, and the gorgeous writing. The characters were so real and relatable, and the romance was hot and heartbreaking. This book made me cry, laugh, and gasp so many times, and the epilogue was… speechless. I was totally wrong about the enchanted entity, by the way. It was such a clever twist! If you love Rebecca Ross and fantasy romance, you need to read this book ASAP.
