Hello my romance reading friends!
Do you happen to enjoy a work place romance? How about the enemies to lovers trope? Billionaire romance? If any of those are your go to reads, then I have a recommendation for you!
Hate to Love You by Melissa Schroeder is the first book in her Fillmore Siblings series.
Hate to Love You by Melissa Schroeder is the first book in her Fillmore Siblings series.
This book follows Sydney Fillmore and Grady Hawthorne. Sydney is the executive assistant for Grady, and so they are constantly together. These two keep the At Home network running as smooth as possible. Plus they are working on the launch of a new channel, and that is just adding to their busy schedules. Things are going just fine until one night when Grady goes to the same bar that Sydney is at. Sydney is there for a bachelorette party, and she's having a blast. It is at that bar though where Grady is realizing his attraction. She's captivated him, horrible dancing and all. From that point on, things start to change.
Hate to Love You was a quick, easy read. I was absolutely drawn in from the very beginning, and could not put the book down. Their story was good. They come from opposite sides of the financial world (poor vs rich), and Sydney mentions that a few times. Never really to Grady, but just in general when talking about her upbringing, and how she has had to work for what she has. Hate to Love You also mentions workplace issues that Sydney has had to deal with at prior companies. While I like Sydney and Grady, I was really more interested in the side characters. I mean, Sydney and Grady just fit together. They just make sense. That being said, they did need to work on their communication skills a bit. Or at least for a good majority of the story they did.
I am so glad I read this book. I love a good rom-com, and this one did not disappoint. I found myself loving the characters (main and side), was obsessed with the setting of Juniper Falls. I want to spend more time in that little community.
Have you read Hate to Love You? How about any other books by Melissa Schroeder? I'm jumping in to Love to Hate You next, and I have a feeling it's going to be FANTASTIC.

Fillmore Siblings Series
Author: Melissa Schroeder
Genre: Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy
HATE TO LOVE YOU
Dive into this sizzling romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Melissa Schroeder.
He is absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn’t fantasize about.
Other than being my boss, he’s too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that, I shouldn’t think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he whispered my name in the dark.
But I can resist him. Mainly because he can’t stand me, and he’s the kind of boss who makes me think about murder on a daily basis. That’s until he shows me his softer side and ignoring my need for him becomes impossible.
No, softer side or not, I have to resist the lure of Grady Hawthorne because if I don’t, I’m pretty sure I won’t survive the fall.
Warning: This book includes a smack-talking executive assistant, a workaholic boss who has the most amazing…mouth, irritating siblings, a drunken night that ends in jail, and a happily ever after that will make you sigh. Author assumes no responsibility for overheated readers.

AUTHOR BIO
From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.
Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 90 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.
After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.
