Scorpio Hates Virgo

Anyta Sunday has developed a formula; two characters who are supposed nemeses which is usually down to a misunderstanding or trying to deny physical attraction, who then slowly become friends even though it's blatantly obvious that there is something more between them, and then proceed to have the slowest of slow burns until they just snap, have another misunderstanding, and eventually reach their happily ever after. Oh, and one of the MCs is gay and the other is bi/pan, and one of them has a penchant for something a little out of the ordinary. It's a formula that usually works though, as it did in the case of Scorpio Hates Virgo.

The second in her Signs Of Love series, it introduces us to new characters whilst still linking them to characters from the first installment of the series. Yes, I was absolutely chanting for Percy and Cal to kiss because their tension was real and undeniable. It wasn't as much of a slow burn as I was expecting going off other reviews, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of it.

We have Percy, our gay protagonist who is struggling with the death of his closest family member and a recent break up, and Cal, a masters student who takes on a large portion of looking after his family due to closeted family events. Percy and Cal snark and snipe at each other at every opportunity they get, but it's obvious to the reader and everyone around the MCs that this is very thinly veiled flirting. Percy is all for selling his aunt's property, moving away, and starting over somewhere new, but something keeps delaying him from doing just that, and he just can't ignore what's in front of him any more.

The only reason I didn't rate it five stars is because I thought the language was a little juvenile at times for characters in their 20s, and because I thought the reasoning behind them being ‘nemeses' was a little bit iffy, but this is definitely a solid and enjoyable enemies to friends to lovers m/m entrant and I would definitely recommend it.
