To Hate Adam Connor

This was interesting. The beginning I was a little on the “I don’t know how I feel about this.” Then by the middle I was really enjoying it and the end I was at a “yeah, no idea if I like this or not.” It was weird how the story played out for me especially the end. It felt so chaotic and rushed that it dampened my experience a bit. I’ll just remember the middle of the book where it was fun, the banter was funny, and I was liking the story.

Genuinely hadn't laughed so much for awhile. Absolutely enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. How could I not when all three Adam, Lucy and Aiden have my heart (maybe even five if we include Jason and Olive<3) Enemies to lovers at its finest

Wow. This was so much more than I expected and wanted. I just Love Lucy and Adam. I couldn’t get through this book faster, it was just so good! I loved the writingstyle, the friendship between Olive and Lucy, the cute rolls the side characters played (Jason&Aiden🥰)! And Adam is such a lovely dad.

Ahem, Miss Ella, what was this? I really liked To Love Jason Thorn with all its flaws and whatnot, but this one??? The only reason this book wasn't a 1 star for me it's because I have a hard time giving those, but believe me, this would be a great contender. Buckle up for a spoiler-y rant below. (view spoiler)[ Adam Connor is a walking red flag. Yeah, he might be a great father, but as a partner? The absolute worst. Manipulative, imposing, controlling, and a bunch of other warning words. Lucy has her issues (she's not perfect either and I didn't really like her, but I'll save my anger towards Adam) and how does he fix them? He imposes himself. "Lucy, you don't believe in love? BUT YOU WILL, with me, because you're mine and every time you say you hate me, I feel as if you're declaring your love to me." This is not a quote but it could be. They get married in the ending because HE DECIDES. (hide spoiler)] I was hoping this book would be a breath of fresh air but it was just a glimpse of hell. Stay with Jason Thorn, besties. Not even the spice can fix this one for me.

i love dilfs

.000001 stars … so slightly better than the first one maybe?

** spoiler alert ** I WANT MY OWN A͓d͓a͓m͓ C͓o͓n͓n͓e͓r͓ !!!! 💛💛 *still drooling* 🤤 I think I love Adam Conner more than I love Jason Thorn though 👀👀 Don’t get me wrong Ella Maise I love both of your Hero’s but I love this one a lot more. Hell! I think I kinda have Single Dad’a fetish right here. Although Lucy was trying so hard to protect herself from another heartbreak, but there is no way she can’t hide from the big chaos love Adam’s brings with him. Not to mention The Demanding Sweet Adorable Aiden Conner comes in that love package! And there is no way, Lucy is saying no to that. Ever. I really love Lucy’s character in this. I love him from the beginning I read, “To Love Jason Thorn” (go ready it you haven’t) and I adore her strong self-love although she keep on saying that she was cursed but I understand where she came from. Ahhhh! Not going to brag much more—just go read it! Highly Recommended 🎬

From "I loathe you" to "I love you" - that's the book and it was great! I loved Lucy's spitfire, independent personality as well as her high standards for dicks lol. She really is a warrior who will fight for her loved ones. I really connected with Lucy's fears of love. As a coping mechanism to avoid abandonment, Lucy has built this wall around her heart with a "practical" attitude towards love. But Adam Connor tore down those walls! Reading Lucy's character development where she is reluctant of allowing herself to fall in love -> realizing that she deserves to be loved and to love!!! "I deserve to be loved, goddammit. I deserve to have someone dance with me to no music." AHH siri play Miley Cyrus "Goodbye" - The time that you danced with me With no music playing OMG ADAM CONNORRRRR - what a man!! definitely a dilf Through his pov, the readers can see Adam's feelings for Lucy form and grow. idk if its the trust issues in me or the romantic, but I immensely enjoy dual povs and seeing the couple's love for each other develop in a well-paced progression. It makes their love feel more genuine. I enjoyed the pop culture references! especially the Notting Hill one omgg when Adam said “I’m just a boy…standing in front of a girl, asking her to love him.” I SCREAMED I also loved the Grey's Anatomy reference too! "you’re my person" with Olive and Lucy - I love seeing more of their friendship in this book also Aiden is so precious! almost makes me want kids . . . ALMOST

This book tells us the story about Lucy and Adam. It’s the perfect enemies to lovers as well as a little slow burn to be honest. I love each character in this book and it’s beautifully written. I don’t have anything negative to say about this book, I just think that the dirty talk is a little cringey but that’s probably just because I’m not really a fan of dirty talk. Other than that the story is amazing, it isn’t just about romance, it’s about family, friends..finding yourself and much more. I really loved it and now I have to read the story of Olive and Jason too. I’m so intrigued.

Good comforting giggle worthy but could use less of the horny-ness

This book is nuts. Lucy is a weirdo and Adam is pure DILF. I was in need of something lighthearted and fun and this satisfied that need. At times it’s a bit ridiculous but I was still thoroughly entertained. Silly and sexy and sweet.

** spoiler alert ** Did I enjoy this book? Yes. But did it leave me feeling complete? No. The ending was almost boring like, they fucked 2 times then got married. Don’t get me wrong it’s a cute book and some of the scenes with aiden,adam, and Lucy were adorable but I just wish the ending had a little more too it

4,5 ⭐️ it was perfect!

4,5⭐️

no pensaba que fuera a llorar con este libro, y ni mucho menos esperaba que me fuera a gustar tANTO, pero me pareció muy lindo y me destrozó el corazón. Todos nos merecemos ser amados, y así como también merecemos tener una grandiosa historia de amor 🤧😭

I liked the enemy to lovers plot but I didn't find much build up here. The characters were great but this one just didn't do it for me. But is good for a quick read

Just as expected, To Hate Adam Connor is just as well written and enchanting as To Love Jason Thorn. This dual POV story shows just how hard and fast Adam falls for Lucy and her for him. Their story was rocky to start with but it all paid off in the end. And of course I can’t forget about how adorable and important young Aiden is to this story as well. If you are on the fence about reading this series, it’s worth it! 😇scouts honor😇

5 stars!!! so question where is my adam connor? somewhere i hope! but anyways i loved everything about this book and ella maise doesnt disappoint! adam and lucy were so adorable, they warm my heart! aiden connor was the show the book i dont care what you have to say because its true! but yeah i had a great time reading this and loved every second of it!

i had my doubt about this book bc of the cover but i’m so glad i didn’t judge it for bc it was so good i had literally low expectations and it completely changed my mind about it when he said “I hope you’re being gentle with your heart, taking care of it for me.” i loved that man

Even tho Adam and Lucy were everything, the real star of the book was Aiden Connor, that kid is my life and I love him so so much

“Do you like dancing?” I asked, ignoring common sense. “No.” “Oh,” I said, surprised. “Okay.” “Ask me anyway,” he countered. I hesitated. “Will you dance with me?” “Yes.” 4 stars Did I mention I love romance novels? No? Well I love romance novels. This was another great book that I read this year. Can't believe my life revolves around reading books that make me feel lonely. Anyways... Lucy and Adam were 😭😭😭😭 yea you know yea. I liked the dynamic a lot and the sex scenes were mindblowing. But i have to admit that my favorite part of the book was the Adam-Aiden-Lucy trio! They are definition of cuties. Lucy is remarkable and she reminded me a lot of myself but I'd fall in love with Mr. Connor even faster than she did. Aiden is my little baby boy. Adam tho... he's not my little baby boy. After I read those scenes I can't even call him baby boy. That's a whole ass man, if you know... you know. “Let’s go home and put some ice on that hand,” I said, tiredly. She sounded equally tired, if not more, when she said, “I don’t have a home.” “Tonight you do.” “Call me crazy, my little stalker, but I think I like you,” “I’m a pretty straightforward guy, Lucy. I don’t play games. Not that I can’t or don’t enjoy certain ones, but this kind of game”—I gestured between us—“I don’t want to play. We have one shot at this life, so I’m not gonna spend my time playing games with anybody. I’m not about that. What you see is what you get with me, and the more I look at you, the more I’m around you, the more I like what I see. It’s not just your face, your smile, or your beautiful eyes that tell me all kinds of stories every time I look into them long enough. I like how you are with my son, how you actually enjoy spending time with him, how you enjoy the banter between us. I like how you are trying your hardest to protect your heart from me at the same time you’re trying not to show how hard it is to do so. I’m telling you that I’m going to give you what you want from me, what you wanted from me from that first day you watched me over that damn wall. I’m going to sleep with you, Lucy Meyer, and I’m going to kiss you, my unexpected stalker. I’m going to kiss you without having to trick you,” I could have her like this every day, I thought to myself. I could have her like this every day and it still wouldn’t be enough. Adam: Answer your phone, Lucy. Lucy: Go away. Adam: You can’t leave my bed like that again. Lucy: I won’t be in your bed again. Adam: I will be back from Paris in two days with Aiden. Make no mistake, Lucy. We will talk. And trust me…you will come to my bed again. Lucy: In your dreams. Adam: And yours. “I decided that when I’m writing your story, I’m going to kill Jameson. I’m going to make you marry Adam Connor and then kill Jameson off.” I wanted this girl…this strong, beautiful girl. I wanted her to be mine. To hold her hand and walk on the street. To smile with her. Do simple things. Things other people took for granted. I wanted to laugh with her. I wanted to sneak into her heart just as I’d sneaked into her bedroom. I moved my arm from under her and held her beautiful face in my palms. With every moan, with every gasp, I took a little bit more from her. I took everything inside me and told myself that this would be it. That my nights and days and everything in between would be filled with this woman. That I wouldn’t let her go. I’d be her home. I’d give her a family. I’d be her family. Her heart. I’d be that wind she loved to feel on her skin so much, the wind that put that peaceful smile on her lips. I’d be her love. “I will be the one who speaks to your heart, Lucy Meyer, just like you seem to speak to mine,” “I don’t like saying this, but you get a forty-nine from me right now, Adam Connor.” “You scare me—no, I promised to be honest with you: you terrify me, Lucy, and I love it. I will never take you for granted, and knowing that you won’t let me…you’re the one I want, Lucy Meyer. You’re the one I fell in love with.” “I’m rooting for you,” I whispered. “I never wished for a prince to save me, because I can save myself, thank you very much…but I’m wishing for it now, Adam Connor. I hope—and I can hope really really hard—that your kiss will break the curse. I hope it’s you, Adam. I hope you’re the hero of my story, because I deserve to be loved, goddammit. I deserve to have someone dance with me to no music.” I stopped so I could breathe and watched Adam’s eyes darken. “I deserve to have you to myself. I deserve to love you.”

This one was definitely better than the first one! Loved Lucy’s character, loved Lucy and Olive’s friendship. Adam Connor is a way stronger love interest than Jason Thorn was. I love a man who can be a good dad ahaha There were a couple of tropes that I’m just personally not a fan of, but I know some people really enjoy so I’m not mad about it. Overall cute story. Like a nice hallmark movie.

Adam Connor is such a hottie and if anyone knows where I can find him, message me ;)

Loved it
