If you love You've Got Mail, enemies to lovers tension, and sizzling banter, Love to Hate You by Marina Adair is just what youa re looking for. This book takes the classic indie bookstore vs. corporate giant rivalry and gives it a fresh, modern spin with all the charm, wit, and slow burn romance you could ask for.

Summer Russo is everything you want in a romance FMC—passionate, determined, and fiercely protective of her beloved bookstore. Her belief in true love is heartwarming, and watching her go toe to toe with Wes Kingston, the broody, grumpy CEO trying to take her down, was chef’s kiss perfection. Their rivalry is deliciously tense, packed with smart comebacks and undeniable chemistry that practically sparks off the page.

And then the forced proximity twist? Brilliant. When Summer and Kingston are unexpectedly thrown together on vacation, the lines between enemies and something way more intimate start to blur in the best way. Their push and pull dynamic is filled with hilarious antics, emotional depth, and some seriously swoony moments that make this book impossible to put down.

Marina Adair’s writing is sharp, heartfelt, and full of hilarious moments. She masterfully balances tension and tenderness, making you fall just as hard for the romance as you do for the small town charm and family dynamics woven into the story.

A witty, steamy, and utterly addictive rom com that will leave you grinning. If you love a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, bookish romance, and a modern You've Got Mail vibe, Love to Hate You is for you!
