A central aphorism that recurs in "Living With the Enemy" is the phrase "Think with your head, not with your heart." The protagonist, Allison, heard those words from her mother, and they are later repeated to her by a hard-boiled FBI agent. However, the ultimate message of the movie is just the opposite as Allison learns to follow the dictates of her heart.

A former superstar English major at the University of Michigan, Allison's favorite book is D.H. Lawrence's "The Rainbow." The mantra that she follows in her life is Lawrence's romantic dictum, "She was the doorway to him, he to her." She seems to be living out that marvelous experience when she falls in love with billionaire Philip and marries him the next day.

The plot that ensues is a roller coaster ride of strange characters and evil doings behind the scenes. The major dramatic question is whether or not Allison will compromise her ideals and start thinking with her head rather than her heart. Much of the plotting is over-the-top with dastardly deeds occurring within the vast empire of Philip.

The main question raised is: Will love prevail? To find out the answer, viewers must follow the peripatetic path of Allison is this potboiler Lifetime movie.

Allison Conner (Sarah Lancaster) attends a conference with her boss Bev. She meets a nice guy in Phillip Lauder (Mark Humphrey) who turns out to be the multi-billionaire that Bev is trying to land. He quickly proposes. It's a big transition as she lives under her new husband's security. His previous wife Monique was kidnapped for ransom and killed. There seems to be more to the story. The FBI blackmails her to co-operate in their investigation into Phillip. More people are getting killed and suspicions are raised on all sides.

Like a lot of these movies, the production is not rich enough to portray a billionaire's life. As for the story itself, there are lots of questionable turns. The first odd note struck is Bev. I don't understand her feeling towards the new relationship unless she already knew something from the start. For normal business, Allison would be a great way to get in the door. There are strange occurrences like the FBI pulling her off the street throwing her into a van. It's done for drama but it's overly done. There are many things happening that are unreal. If security is so tight, Phillip would insists on a constant bodyguard for Allison. There are characters that I'm not sure who they are supposed to be. I know they work for the company but I'm not sure as what. The acting is fine for a TV movie. There are worst. The 'mystery' is functional enough to keep a small amount of interest.

Quite a good TV movie that kept my interest throughout. There are good main characters and some of the supporting actors were also great. The story was very good and although I guessed the ending it was still executed well.
