I am not familiar of fanfiction so Brigitte was a new author to me but when I saw this cute cover, I couldn’t resist! The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy is an amazing enemies to lovers story with magical creatures set in a fantastical world.
Auriette is a healer, her life’ s purpose to save people from sickness. When a strange illness befalls on poor children , she will do anything to cure them, even if that means working with her worst enemy.
Osric is rich, a talented killer but his body is failing him. He needs the best healer and that’s Auriette, the austere woman who prefers smoldering him than saving him.
These two though need each other so they have to put their animosity aside.
I have to say in the beginning I was a little lost. The author built a world with strange creatures, she used unfamiliar words so that got me confused. When though I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed the story.
Auriette is an intelligent, capable scientist which I loved and Osric is witty , charming and deadly in fun way. These two are truly enemies and there are reasons for their animosity. When they work together though, the water gets muddied and there is no good/bad guy.
This book won me over for its humor. It’s quirky, fun and entertaining. The characters do banter well even in inner dialogue.
I had no idea that this book would end with a cliffhanger but the fact I tapped the last page for more says something! I really enjoyed this story and I can’t wait for its final book which hopefully comes soon!
