Something Like Hate is an enemies-to-lovers workplace romance. After introducing herself at a wedding, a tension-filled conversation that ends with giving him the finger, Vannah cannot stand Landon Winters. After a long dry spell, Vannah begins to think he cursed her. But, when Landon becomes her newest client- and the ticket to a big promotion- she decides to get even.
As soon as I heard the basic outline of the book, I was excited for its release. I have no problem admitting that I love pretty much all happily ever after stories. But, when the couple begins as sworn enemies, I'm even more interested. Enemies-to-lovers situations are kind of a weakness for me. After all, the line between love and hate is very thin.
When I began reading, I didn't know what to expect. But, within minutes I was laughing out loud. The initial meeting of Vannah and Landon was so... intense. Landon isn't used to anyone challenging him, but Vannah's quick wit and determination to wear him down are impossible to ignore.
Their relationship goes from 0 to 60 immediately. They go from strangers to hating each other so rapidly you could get whiplash. If anything is an example of 'well that escalated quickly,' it's their relationship. And when they become romantically involved and not just business partners, they dive in head first. It's all or nothing with them, and I love it.
