Fun, steamy enemy-to-lovers romance

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

February 15, 2021 by LaneyFace 1 Comment

Executive assistant Lucy Hutton hates her publishing house coworker Josh. Typically well-liked and cute as a button, Lucy’s usual charms failed to break the stony demeanor of her work partner, leading to childish animosity between the two adults. Lucy and Josh’s resentment plays out as a series of rancorous “games” in which the winner revels in getting under the other’s skin.  Their hatred is so visceral that HR frequently intervenes and halts their little hating games. A steamy elevator make-out session changes everything and Lucy […]

Ah Amnesia, it’s been too long…

October 6, 2016 by Jensicola 11 Comments

First let me address the elephant in the room: I have failed at my bid to read 52 books this year seeing at I have only made it to number three and it is October. Sigh. When I decided to go for a cannonball I was pregnant with Love Spawn #2 and figured I would read while my belly grew and I was able to move less and less. Then life threw a curve ball by way of a difficult pregnancy and all bets were […]
