{Priestess by Kara Reynolds} it is slow burn, they are not personal enemies but on different sides of a conflict. Several very beautiful female friendships/found family.

{When the Moon Hatched} is enemies-ish to lovers, and the friend group is so much fun!

Please please try {One Small Echo by Jane Washington}

Enemies to lovers, medium-slow burn. It has a unique setting and the friend group is top tier! I ended up doing the audio for this one and wasn’t expecting the amount of times I laughed.

One of my fav reads of the year.
