The Love Haters

Katherine Center

4.48

It’s a thin line between love and love-hating in the newest laugh out loud, all the feels rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center.

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim—but pretends that she can.

Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they don’t get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen . . . but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

    4 ⭐️ 3/5 🌶️ Big thanks to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for this eARC!! I've let it sit for a day, and yep, I love this. I don't think I've been able to stop thinking about Hutch and I don't think I'd be mad if I never did. The banter, the slow burn, the plot twists....immaculate. I've wanted to read Katherine Center's books for a very long time, but I never expected the first one to be an ARC. I don't think I'll ever be able to put into words how much I adored this, but I can say I rarely start and finish a book in the span of 24 hours. Super excited for this one to come out!!
