Guuyssss I want good enemies to lovers recs. Like REAL enemies, not 25 pages enemies where he's loved her since the beginning itself and it's just light banter. REAL recs PLEASE. Bonus points is he's grumpy, bonus points for slow burn. Not rivals to lovers but like REAL recs okay? I've read and liked the Shatter me series, which is by far the only one where I personally felt enemies to lovers was done properly bcz I HATED Warner in the beginning too. So I'm looking for something like that and moree. (Not stuff like the Forth Wing). I'd appreciate it SO MUCH if y'all gave me recs and also a brief outlook about the books recommending. Will MUCH appreciate it if you guys invite more people to this poll too xx

Try out Arcana Academy by Elise Kova. Not a completed series, though. 1st and 2nd books are out, there will be one more.

Zodiac academy and The book of Azrael, these are some of the best TRUE enemies to lovers out there
The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman has a long triangle where one of the love interests has has an enemies to lovers relationship with the fmc and the other is sorta allies to lovers with the fmc. it’s verrryy good!
The Malediction Trilogy. This is definitely enemy and hate to lovers. It’s a few books in the series with amazing world building. It also has tragedy in it and doesn’t end how you would think. I definitely think it’s worth giving a go, the series as always stuck with me. It makes you really feel all the emotion!
I recently read Starside and I thought it was a true enemies to lovers if you haven’t read it and are into fantasy I recommend.
I get what you are saying, you want something that feels real. This are my options for you:The Cruel Prince
Captive Prince
The Serpent and the Wings of Night
To Bleed a Crystal Bloom
From Blood and Ash
Spinning Silver
Red Queen
The Winner's Curse
Daughter of the Pirate King
When the Moon Hatched
I’d definitely recommend The Folk of the Air if you haven’t read it yet
Better Than The Movies by Lynn PainterNothing Like The Movies (sequel) by Lynn Painter
Powerless by Lauren Roberts (I’m only read this book, the 1st book of the series, but I’d say the rest of the books, or atleast the 2nd one and 1st one are enemies to-lovers)
And I’ve thought of a few others, but we’re more like “I hate them” for 25 pages and the rest was like fake dating or smth
pride and prejudice lol
better than the moviesa thousand heartbeats
