Historical Romance Review: Beloved Enemy by Jane Feather

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Beloved Enemy by Jane Feather
When my cat destroyed the cover of my edition of Jane Feather's Beloved Enemy, chewing it to shreds, I lamented the loss. It was a pretty cover, although I cared nothing for the book. Beloved Enemy begins with an intriguing premise, then about 20 pages in, the annoying "insta-luv" trope rears its head. Everything goes downhill from there. 2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Beloved Enemy by Jane Feather”
