I am an avid reader of historical romance novels and it is one of my all-time favorites. I have read this book three or four times over the years, with enough time in between to have forgotten some of the minor plot points. The characters are very sympathetic and full-drawn. I love the clash of wits between Lily and Avery in their correspondence. When they finally meet in person, the sparks immediately fly. I think some reviewers who gave this book a lesser rating might have mistaken measured pacing of the story line for a slow plot. The author gives herself plenty of time to develop a true friendship between Lily and Avery, while gradually revealing the deeper reasons behind their actions. There are parts that are amusing, witty, sweet, tender, tense and heartbreaking. This is a good book for readers who prefer to watch a relationship build BEFORE the characters get into bed with each other. And Ms. Brockway has a wonderful mastery of language. I found myself savoring many wonderful phrases. "My Dearest Enemy" is a winner! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Connie Brockway Always Delivers *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016* Avery Thorne is furious! His uncle promised Mill House to him, but it seems his uncle has reneged on that promise. A letter from Lillian Bede says his uncle has deferred the decision about the estate via his will. The will states that Lillian Bede will be given the reins to the estate for five years. If the estate is profitable at the end of the five years, then the estate becomes the legal property of Ms. Bede. If the estate is unprofitable, it cedes to Avery Thorne.Avery decides to travel the world for five years rather than wait around England for the outcome. Lillian is obliged by the terms of the will to deliver a quarterly allowance to Avery, and so starts a correspondence between the hero and heroine that is absolutely hilarious. But the book really gets going when the two finally meet.The premise of this book is refreshingly unique. The book is quite funny, but also encourages the reader to address some very deep subjects. Suffragist ideology of Victorian England, the importance of family and home, the unfairness of the laws that separate families, animal cruelty, men not recognizing women's worth are just some things that are presented. It is quite delightful to read the banter between the H and h about these many social issues. One can get very involved in these issues or choose to just let the story slide by with a degree of shallowness. The secondary characters do just that in a lot of ways.All of the characters drive the plot in a very even, interesting path. The time period, late 1800's, is well-represented, and the morals and social structure of that time period are well-developed. Connie Brockway wins my five stars once again. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020* I was looking for a book involving letters between the main characters, this was on the list. It was good, and the letters were funny, but it wasn't fantastic. Avery was a bumbling gentleman, not a suave rake, (which was part of his charm), and Lily was shrewish but also not firm enough with the people in her life. Overall, it was good. I would recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/110303849-my-dearest-enemy-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.in/products/110303849-my-dearest-enemy-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
