Queen B’s Decree: I first got introduced to Something Like Hate when reading the novella The Accidental Hookup in the Spring Fling collection, and I was happy to hear Miller and Claire’s story was going to be enhanced.
Miller is the big boss at Claire’s job, and they come together when Miller is searching for a date for his sister’s destination wedding and Claire happens to be on the same plane. What starts as pretend turns into something real between them.
And here’s where you start to worry…this book is only half over?!? What’s coming next!?!
And here is where one misunderstanding leads to a harsh and not-amicable breakup. Second chance romance, anyone?
What turns up the notch on Something Like Hate from good to great is Miller and Claire. Both characters showed so much growth in their time apart. Miller realizes how big of a mistake he made and spends his time trying to be a better man. Claire has defined boundaries and works hard to grow in both her career and her personal life. But both of them know something is missing in their lives.
How and when they reach their happily ever after…well, you’ll just have to read it yourself to find out. Be assured that it is fully worth the read to the end
My only wish was more groveling from Miller, but that’s from the second chance romance hater in me.
