À propos de ce contenu audio
***THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ***
A slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a scholarly healer and a gentleman assassin, set in an exquisite fantasy world, perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.
Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, is in dire need of healing. Naturally - such is the grim comedy of fate - the only healer who can help is Aurienne Fairhrim, preeminent scientist, bastion of moral good, and member of an enemy Order.
Aurienne is desperate for funding to heal the sick - so desperate that, when Osric bribes her to help him, she accepts, even if she detests him and everything he stands for.
A forced collaboration ensues: the brilliant Woman in STEM is coerced into working with the PhD in Murders, much to Aurienne's disgust. As Osric and Aurienne work together to heal his illness and investigate the mysterious reoccurrence of a deadly pox, they find themselves ardently denying their attraction, which only fuels the heat between them.
Tropes include:
Enemies-to-lovers
High interaction slow burn
Hypercompetent idiots
He falls first and harder
Slaughter as a love language
Praise for The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy:
'Sworn enemies, underhanded shenanigans, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem.

And as far as I'm concerned, it delivered.
We discover a world with its own magic system and ancestral organization alongside well-developed characters. Their goals are clear and what's even clearer is the necessity of the two protagonists working together (even if it might be 50% for our pleasure, as if I would complain about this). As we follow them in their endeavor, the very sarcastic narrative voice is here to highlight the lies both of them deliciously tell themselves making the slowburn is indeed irresistible.
What can I say ? The magic is magicing, the banter is bantering, the Dramione code is Dramione coding and I'll definitely come back for more.
Magical dramatic irony at its best
