Synopsis:
I hate him. I want him. I can’t stop thinking about him.
Chloe
Nice to see you, sunshine, wearing black again?
Dean Maddox spent high school pushing all my buttons.
Seven years later, we’re working together. So much has changed, but he’s the same arrogant jerk with the same penchant for teasing me senselessly.
I still want to slap the cocky smirk from his face. And tear off his clothes. And kiss him like the ship is going down.
I hate him. I want him. I can’t…
No, I will stop thinking about him.
Dean
Seven years ago, I took Chloe’s v*rginity. It was supposed to cure my cravings for the pint-sized spitfire. But now that she’s working under me…
The more she glares, the more I want her.
The more I tease, the more she stares.
The more I brag about my Prince Albert…
Let’s just say it’s obvious she’s picturing me naked.
She owns my thoughts as much as I own hers.
I should stay away. She’s my subordinate. She’s off limits.
But there’s no way I can resist her.

5/5
I love this series! Throughout this series we’ve gotten to know Dean and his shenanigans. But we’ve also gotten glimpses of his soft underbelly, especially in his brother Ryan’s book. Crystal Kaswell does his book so well, well worth the wait. Hating You, Loving You is emotional, sweet, funny, sexy and just perfect for Dean. By now, readers of this series know Dean and his mouth (if you haven’t read this rest I highly recommend it – but only because it’s an AWESOME series, not because you need to in order to enjoy this book.) Chloe is his perfect match. She’s serious but also learning to seize life again. She sees through his act, calls him out on it, and in turn, lightens up. Hating You, Loving You is a fantabulous enemies-to=lovers, second-chance romance that will leave you smiling, swooning, crying, and rooting for these two in their journey to love and trust each other.
I received an advanced copy for this book for free from this author. This is my honest and voluntary review.
