The Taste of an Enemy by Holly Renee

4.25

dark emotional fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Holly Renee really said IT IS CARSON AND ALLIE'S TURN in this duet, and I ate it up. In the first two books of this series, you get to know these 'side characters' who move front and center for The Taste of an Enemy. Like books 1 & 2, this is told in 1st person, dual POV with POV from Carson (MMC) and Allie (FMC).

What I enjoyed:
👉 Dynamic between Carson & Allie
👉 Tropes: friends-enemies-lovers, childhood crush/best friends,
👉 Character development of Carson and Allie
👉 These characters felt very different from Josie and Beck
👉 Cliffhanger

Where things could have been better / what other readers may struggle with:
👉 I wish there was a stronger reasoning for them falling apart wasn't just miscommunication
👉 The 'bet' felt a little lackluster as a plot driver
👉 Lack of content warnings — mention of alcoholism of a parent
