Brady Davis is as happy as he is charming. Usually. Unless he’s in the same room with the frustratingly gorgeous antidote to his cheer. Mia Kendrick is headstrong and determined. She’s done with men who stand in her way—even if he has arms like Thor and a smile that makes her dizzy. Whenever they’re together, sparks fly—both the bad and good kind.
When Mia returns home to take over management of Kendrick Place, Brady is worried her focus on big business could be the end of his tight-knit home and the family he’s created there. Mia may have the power to change everything, but Brady could have the power to change her mind…if he can get inside her heart.

My Rating: 4 stars
If you’re’ in the mood for a light hearted romance that goes a little below the surface to expose some raw feelings and insecurities… and deal with them, then Love To Hate Him would be a story that you’d probably enjoy.
Mia is taking over the complex, she’ll run Kendrick Place as she sees is right for everyone involved. Trouble is that her way might just not be right for everyone and she’s about to realize that firsthand. Brady doesn’t want to lose what Kendrick Place has in abundance, a close knit community that has each other’s back. When Mia takes over control he only sees what she might do, not what she is doing or going to do. It’s unfortunate that for a good while Brady does a lot of judging, assuming before knowing all the facts or looks beneath Mia’s surface public face.
Mia has major trust issues. She’s accustomed to fighting to get what she needs within her own family… the trust and approval that running Kendrick Place successfully will eventually bring to her. She hopes. Every time she encounters Brady he’s judging her, or arguing with her or even thinking he knows what is best in a situation without even asking her. She gets enough of that from her family, she doesn’t need it from a man that if he didn’t think so little of her she might be attracted to.. maybe, kinda, sorta.
Ready for some fireworks? Then settle into Love To Hate Him for a fun filled, bantering good time as Mia and Brady butt heads on their way to their own happy ever after. A really good enemies to friends to more styled romance, this one will leave you smiling, shaking your head and just plain enjoying yourself.
