My Own Best Enemy : A Sweet Romantic Comedy (Apple Valley Love Stories Book 2) Kindle Edition
This isn’t a wedding. This is war …
I get it. We were in elementary school. Just a couple of kids on the playground. But after Nash Hendrix called me Enemy instead of Emily, his stupid nickname ruined my life.
Now our best friends are getting married, and they expect me to stand across the aisle from Nash the Ruiner without killing him?
Whatever. I can survive that.
It’s only for one weekend.
Until it’s not.
When I get roped into wedding planning at all the same places Nash is fundraising, I’m ready to blow up our truce.
But the more time we spend together, the more I feel like … not murdering him.
Is it possible Nash and I don't hate each other?
No way. He’s still my enemy.
My big, dumb enemy. My big, dumb, gorgeous, sweet-smelling, smooth-talking —
Emi, you’re doomed.
This heartwarming, hilarious romantic comedy has all the sizzle and swoon, but no explicit content. The entire Apple Valley series can be read in any order, so buy My Own Best Enemy today and get ready to fall in love!

When Emi’s best friend needs her help planning her upcoming wedding, Emi steps up. She’s going to do whatever she can to make her bestie’s day wonderful. Never mind that she was dumped at a tasting with her now ex-fiancée. Never mind that her enemy, Nash, keeps showing up and getting in her way- with his devastating smiles, his sense of humor, and his charm. Will Emi be able to forgive Nash for the hurt he caused when they were younger? Will they be able to move forward as friends…or maybe more? And will Emi’s secret end up giving her the new start she’s been looking for?

This was such a wonderful story! Emi and Nash’s characters were so fun to get to know better! I enjoyed Emi’s Lucky Charms/sugar commitment and the amazing friend that she was. I thought Nash’s struggle to figure out what he wanted next and the way he couldn’t decide whether he wanted to keep Emi at arms length or wrap her up was written so well. I enjoyed the delightful romance of this story! It is one you won’t want to miss! It is a second in a series so you could read it as a stand alone but you’ll enjoy it even more if you pick up the first one as well! Julie Christianson is a favorite and this series is charming!

For the audio version, Rock Engle and Stephanie Rose narrated. I enjoyed them both and will be listening again — I liked the representation of Nash more than that of Emi though, overall. For Emi, I think I found her inner thoughts more realistically portrayed than her actual dialogue with others, at least going by what I had imagined/was expecting. Even so, it was good, and I loved it.
Julie Christianson does an excellent job of making her readers feel like we’re there in the midst of this world she’s written. These books can be read as stand-alones (they’re each a complete story), but they’re best read in order because you’ll get the full context and also avoid spoilers that way… not to mention, they’re each excellent! One of my favorite romcom writers – and she only writes clean stories, so I love that I don’t have to sort through reviews to make sure that I’m not going to run across anything I don’t want to read.
I would categorize this book as… a plate of nachos. Something that keeps you coming back for more.
“Emi’s a rollercoaster, and I’m a guy who’s spent most his life aiming for an even keel. She makes my keel decidedly uneven.”
A little something from Emi:
“Then he ducks his head, like an apology, which makes him look not just handsome but also chivalrous. Like knight-in-shining-armor-level chivalry. Like Lancelot.”
I loved this book! It was sweet, romantic and held so much humor. The romance leapt off the pages and made me believe in romantic comedies again. The perspectives from both Nash and Emi really added to the story. Their relationship was filled with just the right amount of quirkiness that had saying no, no, no! But, it really made the story so engaging and I really related with Emi. I loved the message in it, too, of letting go of perfection and past hurts.
“Seriously, Emi. I like it when you get into librarian mode.” More than I should, to be honest. “But you can’t expect anyone to get things right all the time. Nobody’s perfect, and you don’t have to be either.”
If you’re looking for something that is a quick read and will fill your heart with joy, I think you’ll enjoy this clean read. I’m looking forward to going back to her first book, but I couldn’t resist this enemies to more storyline. So if you’d like to start the first book in the Apple Valley Love Stories series “The Mostly Real McCoy” is where I’m headed! The third book, “Pretending I Love Lucy” just released. I would compare this writer with Sarah Monzon, whose books I adore.

Definitely worth reading.
[By standard romance novel terms, this one is a long time enemies to lovers + small-town romance.]
