Say You Hate Me

Say You Hate Me

Natalia My love life would be almost comical if it weren't so depressing. Why can't romance be like it is in the novels I love? I stupidly assume things can't get any worse, but then I get fired from my job. Good one, universe. Now I have no choice but to work for my brother and his surly business partner, Anderson. We can't seem to get on the same page about anything. He's judgmental and rude, and I can't stand him. To make matters even more trying, he's ridiculously hot. Anderson I never agreed to bring on a new marketing manager, and certainly not her. My business partner leads with his heart, and when he hires his sister, her ability to crawl under my skin is insurmountable.So, why does she make my heart race every time she's close? When things escalate, I lose all semblance of control, which just makes me angrier. I can't keep my hands off her, even though she makes me crazy. Hatred can drive a person insane, but so can love. The Love at Work Series consists of interconnected standalones, all having to do with falling in love at work. They can be read in ANY order!

I have mixed feelings about this book. This is the second of Richardson's books that I've read, after her short story in the Love at Work series. In the beginning I was hooked, I loved the pace, the writing and the characters. I was curious to see how Anderson and Natalia could possibly go to lovers after being introduced as such strong enemies. The middle was a little too slow for me, I often got lost at the marketing jargon that I honestly think could've been left out. Some was helpful to explain Natalia's job but I felt like at some point I was bored and didn't really care about it. I did enjoy the Harry Potter references at first but after awhile the same one got a tad repetitive. In the end it picked up, I'd say in the last 20-25% I was happy to see the twists come about. Overall I enjoyed the main characters but I was also happy to see a lot from the side characters. It was a nice ending where I felt the main character grew but also stayed true to herself. ***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review***
