I cannot tell you how many books by the author duo Christina Lauren I have read and reviewed. Each one of them have been wonderful reads that keep me entertained, swooning, and grinning like a fool for days. The new release I was asked to review is yet another foray into their wacky minds and for that I am eternally grateful!
Check out my thoughts on this fun rom-com that you will enjoy fully.
Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren
Publisher: Gallery Books (June 6, 2017)
ISBN-13: 978-1501165818
Synopsis:
Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they’re both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn’t enough to squash the fire.
But when their two agencies merge—causing the pair to vie for the same position—all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionals—so why can’t they act like it?
Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human?
Whether these two Hollywood love/hate birds get the storybook Hollywood ending, or just a dramedy of epic proportions, you get to enjoy Christina Lauren’s heartfelt, hilarious story of romance in the modern world.
Review of Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren
There’s something about the way the writing duo Christina Lauren strikes a chord with me. From the very first books I read by them, I was hooked.
They have the unique ability to create memorable, fun, sarcastic, sexy, witty characters that seem to become a good friend.
Dating You Hating You is their first standalone contemporary romance. All of the other ones have been part of a series or one off’s. So it was interesting to be introduced to new characters and enjoy a new fresh story.
This is a classic work romance with a love-hate relationship. With their usual banter and great humor, the authors capture the essence of the competition and the fire that burns underneath. With a sexist and creepy boss (it seems like I know him so very well) and some great practical jokes, this book is a delightful escape that reads like a dream.
Never one to let me down, Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren has all the earmarks of the perfect classic contemporary romance. A definite beach read this summer!
