It’s a thin line between love and love-hating.
Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.
The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim—but fakes it that she can.
Plus: Cole is Hutch’s brother. And they don’t get along. Next stop paradise!
But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good looking man she has ever seen . . . but also a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two.
Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.
I absolutely enjoy Katherine Center and her novels. The Love Haters may move to be one of my favorites of hers because Hutch has a dog named George Bailey. I had my own George Bailey. Here he is sitting on the front porch with me while I was reading. I lost my George Bailey more than five years ago, but I loved how Katie put her own life at risk to save Hutch's George Bailey. To me, main characters who have dogs seem more authentic.
This book is for anybody who loves romance novels, Key West, and dogs!
