Amy Morrison is left at the altar by her long-time boyfriend because he doesn't love her anymore. Needing to escape, the only place she can think of as her safe haven is her office. Running into Dax Harris is the last thing she wanted especially since they dislike each other. What she least expects is Dax to step in and make her feel better on the worst day of her life nor the attraction she suddenly feels for him.

Dax may fight with Amy all the time, but he respects her worth ethic and in spare time fantasizes her. Seeing her vulnerable is something he does not like so to get her back to normal, he does whatever he can without taking advantage of her. This one act leads them to become frenemies wih benefits. Fate also keeps throwing them together for one reason or the other. The interactions lead to mutual respect and liking since they can be themselves without fear. They know there is no possible chance they can ever fall in love... Or is there?

Honestly, SLEEPING WITH HER ENEMY, was a disappointment. The premise is great but the execution was left wanting. Throughout the story there were some discrepancies which immediately pulled me out of the story. A few times I actually went back to re-read to see if I had misread the previous part. Nope. For example the first chapter in Amy's POV shows her on the verge of tears praying no one sees her in her less than perfect getup. I feel for her here and understand why she would not want anyone to see her at her lowest. However, when we jump to Dax's POV, Amy is stable enough to put down Dax, show her disgust for him and then 'laugh' while sashaying off to her office. Next moment she is in her office crying her heart out, loudly enough for Dax to hear her at the reception. Either she is a very good actor or that just seemed kind'a off.

On the other hand, there are some sweet and poignant moments in SLEEPING WITH HER ENEMY. One thing which threw me off was why were they enemies in the first place? From how Ms. Holiday showed Dax to be, he is a gentleman who is sensitive to others plight and tries to make things better even if it is with someone who dislikes him. The little things he does for her are sweet once given the chance. The only thing negative he has is his hang-up with relationships. The reason behind their dislike sounds more like Amy pmsing with him as target. Amy is rude one moment and vulnerable the next. One confused lady. Her insecurities seem a bit forced when you compare to her general outspoken nature and tom-boyish interests. Overall SLEEPING WITH HER ENEMY is slightly clichéd turn on enemies becoming lovers which had potential for greatness but ended up not leaving a memorable stamp on the mind.
