Cover of The Love Haters

Being in love means being brave in The Love Haters, the newest laugh out loud, all the feels rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center. Producer Janie Vaughn’s co-worker helps her get a career-making gig profiling a Coast Guard rescue swimmer (who just happens to be his brother)—by claiming, falsely, that Janie is his girlfriend. As Janie spends time in Key West with the swimmer, Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson (along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane), she gets trapped by that lie—falling madly for Hutch, even as he thinks she’s the one woman on earth he can’t date. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

Cat Thompson — 4/5

Katherine Center DOES IT AGAIN. This book was so good I didn't check my phone for 3 hours. I was so enveloped in the book, I completely cancelled out the real world. Finished this in a day (which is impressive for me). Katie is a video producer and has to do a film on Hutch, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. She has to spend so much time with him, but his brother told her that he is a love-hater. More than that, Hutch is drop dead gorgeous and Katie is just...Katie. At least that's what she thinks! Drama, thrills, swoony kisses, Katherine Center is one of my top 5 authors. She never fails to produce an amazing book!
