I was surprised buy the speed in which I read this anthology,  however now that I think about it isn’t much of a surprise considering how good each book was. I was initially going to give a review of each book after reading the book but I just got too caught up in each book to do so. I decided to read this book as it had a book from one of my all time favourite authors, Angel Lawson  and I'm so grateful that I did because now I've discovered a whole bunch of new authors whose books I cannot wait to read.
I’d definitely give each book a 4-5 star review individually, the books were both plot and character driven which was quite nice to read about. There were of course some which had more of one than the other but I think it was nice to have a combination of both (for me anyway) as sometimes I get bored reading about books which both are plot/character driven in a row. 
There was definitely growth in the confidence and happiness of the FMCs as the books progressed and it was nice to see the MMCs become more open and happy, with their women. I do however think that some characters had chemistry but the ‘open’ or quick endings to their books prevented the reader from seeing more growth and just more of the relationship in general.
I do think two things were quite odd however, one being the type of romances and the other being the combination of books in this anthology. 
I thought it was pretty odd that despite the book being labelled as enemies-to-lovers many of the books were more bully romances or just didn't have this enemies-to-lovers theme which the title suggested which confused me. And then I felt some of the books which I feel were I actually meant to be enemies to lovers just didn't have that animosity/hate that I feel and actually enemies-to-lovers book should/usually have.
Secondly, I feel it was a bit confusing or rather just odd  that the majority of books in this anthology were quite dark and contained very dark material/themes,  however there were others that were quite light-hearted and soft so, as a reader, it just felt quite weird to have these books put in the same anthology despite being so different and not books I would have classed together otherwise. Like considering the book is quite literally named ‘Filthy Elites’ it was just a bit weird that in some books the MMC didn't abuse his power and money which is usually seen in these filthy books and  that in some books they didn't even have access to their money so really they want elite in the slightest. Regardless of this I still thoroughly enjoyed each and every book and I'm so happy to have read these books as I may have not discovered these books and authors had they not been included in this anthology.
