I have always been a big fan of romance, but I especially love enemies to lovers romance. It is so much fun to write. Having the two main characters distrustful of each other or outright enemies who then fall for each other really adds another layer to a Romantasy story. For my Tempest Knox series the main character, Tempest, is right to be suspicious of Will. He is a former witch hunter and she's a witch! Not a great start. I put the characters in the position where they are forced to work together. Will does start off as manipulative as he tries to free himself from a curse, but he soon falls for Tempest. Of course there are issues along the way, including Tempest's actual love interest! It does take time for them to get together, but I think that makes it more realistic. I do hate when a romance is rushed. It has to be earned and believable to the audience. In the fifth and final book of this series, we see exactly how far Will has come when he goes to extraordinary lengths to save Tempest. No one loves a villain turned good more than me and it helped to have Will's backstory on why he did the things he did. He was abandoned by his mother and raised by a violent father. He ran away and joined the witch hunters, thinking he had found his place in the world, but soon discovered he was just power hungry. It was important to show how much he had grown over the course of the series. It has taken me a while to complete this series, I started it a decade ago! I am not a particularly fast writer, but I always finish what I started lol. If you love Romantasy books, the series is available now on Amazon and the final book will be released in the summer.
