Product Description

From the Author
Remember Pillow Talk?
I didn't realize until after seeing that old Rock Hudson/Doris Day chesnut on the late show a few nights ago how similar it is to my own recent release, MY DEAREST ENEMY. And it is! Set in late Victorian England, my book is about a man and a woman who have never met face-to-face but who have been forced into an unlikely written correspondence by a dead man's manipulation. Both are masters of repartee and both more than willing to use that talent to verbally score off the other. As in PILLOW TALK, their antagonism is exploded by instant and intense physical attraction when they finally do meet. Unlike PILLOW TALK, right from the beginning they know exactly who each other is and just what giving in to that attraction means: the loss of the estate both spent years hoping to attain. It's a story about finding your heart's desire ...in the enemy camp. I hope you get a chance to read it. Please visit my website to read an excerpt from MY DEAREST ENEMY as well as my other Dell! books. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming Read, 11 Sep 2003
My Dearest Enemy was the first of Ms. Brockway's books I have read - but I am now a thorough convert! Along with 'As You Desire', this book is one of my favourites, not being quite so 'dark' as say, All Through the Night or The Passionate One (although both excellent, compulsive reading).

I love her writing style which is intelligent and poetic. The underlying theme of the book is the long-established relationship the two central characters developed through several years' correspondence, and is such an imaginative tool that the reader is drawn in at every page.

HE is heroic but vulnerable, SHE is independent to the point of self-destruction! And the fact that they are both attractive (most especially to each other) but seemingly unaware of this, is so well-scripted by Ms Brockway, that she avoids the usual cliches. One never gets the 'I've-read-this-all-too-often-before' feeling reading one of Ms. Brockway's books. I also love the thread of humour which is cunningly woven into the book, without diluting the strength of the story.

I found I didn't want the book to end, but couldn't wait to find out how the love affair would progress! Read and thoroughly enjoy! (More than once I should think!).

I read this book in one evening -- I just couldn't put it down. Very funny and touching. One of the best romance novels I've read.

5.0 out of 5 stars amusing wit, 18 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Excellent storyline. The letters themselves were very witty. Could read this novel many times and still chuckle.
