When US Embassy officer Thaddeus Kline’s wife turns up dead he blames crime boss Bruce Gage. Kline sets out for North Carolina determined to settle the score. What he doesn’t count on is coming up against his adversary’s wife, Gemma. Gemma Gage is living in the lap of luxury. She does not ask, nor does she care, where the money comes from. She is a loving wife and a good hostess to her husband’s business associates. Just as she makes an unwanted discovery, Bruce catches her red-handed scrutinizing his dealings. Now she must pay. When Thaddeus breaks into the Gage mansion looking for Bruce, he gets a whole lot more than he bargained for. And Gemma gets a hero she doesn't want. The hunters soon become the hunted and an unlikely alliance is their only hope for survival. They must overcome their mistrust of each other to take down a common enemy. But can they?

Editorial Reviews

Review

  • This truly unputdownable book, co-authored by Travis Casey and Melissa Mayberry, is lucid, and well-crafted; language, deployed intelligently and economically. -- Goodreads Reviewer 5*
  • With definitive plot when they began, they threw chapters with cliff hanger endings at each other in response to the earlier chapter they received. So even the authors had no idea what would happen next. -- Goodreads Reviewer 4*
  • Funny language at times, and a great ending. -- Goodreads Reviewer 4*
  • This book is full of twists and turns and surprises! -- Amazon Reviewer 4*

About the Author

Travis and Melissa were critique partners in an online writing group. Melissa asked Travis if he'd like to share her vision of writing a suspense novel with alternating points of view. Up to that point, Miss Mayberry had dedicated herself to writing YA novels while  Casey concentrated on writing romantic comedies. So they both stepped out of their preferred genres to collaborate an amazing story with hallmarks of Stockholm Syndrome. Neither of them knew where the story would go when they began but couldn't be more pleased with the result.Enjoy this unique reading experience.

    Fun and unique adventure/suspense romance. The characters are well-developed and the plot had some juicy deception and intrigue. It was easy to read with lots of action and crime that made it a fast page turner. When US Embassy officer Thaddeus Kline’s wife dies after he finds out she was cheating, he rushes to judgment, thinking she was killed by her lover, crime boss Bruce Gage. When Kline breaks into Gage's house to exact revenge, he only finds Bruce’s wide, Gemma, in captivity and guarded by a hungry Bengal tiger. From there, an adventure ensues, filled with dead bodies and dangerous attraction.

    I really liked the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter and the way two authors developed the story. Definitely a fun summer read!

    Enemy of My Enemy is a surprising, yet gratifying love child of nonstop action and witty dialogue. While the book incorporates multiple genres and chapters from the perspective of both main characters, the authors have managed to produce a seamless and intriguing tale of crime, deadly attraction, and drama that will leave you breathless and wanting more!

    Rating 3 stars out of 5.

    Humor and cozy romance overshadow the action adventure genres in this story. It goes from humorous to downright silly at times.

    Thaddeus Kline is a state department employee assigned to London. He's in love with his beautiful wife but suspects her of cheating. They have a fight and Jo Ann tells him she's in serious trouble. Instead of asking what the problem is, he leaves in a huff. Soon Jo Ann is found hanged. Thad believes he knows who her lover is that caused her to commit suicide and commits to murdering the man.
    Gemma Gage is the wife of the man Tom suspects Jo Ann of having an affair with. They meet and soon the two of them develop into accomplished, cold blooded killers while seeking revenge and trying to stay alive. A real stretch.

    In one confusing scene, Gemma speaks to Fluffy, Whiskers, Morris and Felix. Finally, I gathered it was only one cat not four.

    Research is lacking. Thad buys a Barrett M-99 sniper rifle that he points at an attacker at a window and fires three fast shots. But the M-99 is a single shot bolt action rifle that needs to have a bullet chambered before each shot.
    Then Thad used wind chimes as a security measure to warn of bad guys approaching. But chimes won't make a sound when thrown on the grown to be stepped on unless the intruder is a klutz and trips over them.

    Continuity is lacking. At one point Gemma say's she hasn't eaten in four days, but they ate pizza the night before.
    Gemma thought pointedly about Thad saying he'd shoot the antagonist in the head, but Thad hadn't told her he planned to do that.

    Present and past tense are mixed in sentences along with missing, extra and wrong words.
    In most of the action scenes, both lead characters are too calm and cozy while they joke about the situation. That eliminated any hope of intensity or conflict.
    It also seemed unreal for a low level State Department employee who produced passports to have the funds to constantly be renting motels, hotels, cars, buying handguns and a $3,000 plus rifle while buying Gemma thousands of dollars worth of designer clothing.

    Enemy of My Enemy is a decent read in spite of the many errors if you like lighthearted fluff, but it's not a great read.

    Both Casey and Mayberry were able to put together a cohesive, attention grabbing, and unique story. Enemy of My Enemy is an easy, but intriguing, read. The two main characters, Thaddeus and Gemma, were likable and well developed. The interesting plot line was what grabbed me most, and it definitely did not disappoint. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy, but entertaining, read.

    A real fun twisted read.
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016
    Authors Melissa Mayberry and Travis Casey joined hands to create a truly unique suspense thriller " Enemy of My Enemy" by writing alternate chapters in the first person – Melissa writing as Gemma Gage and Travis writing as Thaddeus Kline. With no definitive plot when they began, they threw chapters with cliff hanger endings at each other in response to the earlier chapter they received. So even the authors had no idea what would happen in the next chapter.
    US Embassy officer Thaddeus Kline learns his wife is double timing him with Bruce Gage, a crime boss, and walks out on her. When she is killed, Thaddeus suspects Bruce and rushes to North Carolina to eliminate him.
    Bruce's wife Gemma Gage has risen from being a lap dancer to the lap of Bruce, who meets her every material need. But when she discovers that Bruce is a criminal and is caught by him, he keeps her captive at home with a hungry Bengal tiger to guard her.
    Thaddeus breaks into the Gage mansion looking for Bruce, but meets Bruce's wife Gemma and the tiger, but Bruce is missing. Thaddeus takes Gemma hostage but they find mutual affinity and Bruce would prefer his wife dead. Thad and Gemma, threatened by a common enemy, join hands and more, shooting their way out of tight situations. The body count rises, coincidences multiply, their mutual attraction increases, and each chapter ends with a cliff-hanger.
    A great book with a novel construction, but needs some more fine editing. That is the only reason I am giving it only 4 stars.
    I thank Melissa Mayberry and Travis Casey and Goodreads for sending me a soft copy of Enemy of My Enemy for an honest review.
