About this listen
She wants his story. He wants his secrecy. Too bad he can’t stay away from her.
Molly
Blogging about bad dates used to be fun, but a girl can only take so much foolishness. So I broke up with my job.
Okay, full disclosure, I was fired. It’s a long, sordid tale, involving my sourdough starter - RIP, Fred! - and my ex-boss’ serious lack of humor.
Newly funemployed and in need of a break, I go to Asheville to dogsit for my sister…and stumble onto a scoop big enough to put my fake-dating days behind me forever.
Augusta Glower, local success story, wrote a bestseller about the self-help group she started. People think her system works, and copycat Bad Luck Clubs have sprung up nationwide. Something feels off, though, and a little poking around by yours truly suggests she stole the idea.
There’s one problem. I have to prove it, and the guy she ripped off - super-hot house flipper Caleb Reynolds - seems to…well, hate me. Which is too bad since his secrets aren’t the only thing I’d like to peel away.
Cal
Molly O’Shea is my worst nightmare.
Is she sexy as sin? Well…yeah. Does she smell like honeysuckle and trouble? No doubt. Is she determined to dig up my secrets with a backhoe? I’m pretty sure she got a two-week rental. But I’ll never talk. If the reason I started the club gets out, my whole life will implode.
So why is she so damn irresistible?

I used to believe in what we do at Mayberry Matchmakers, but now? Love is just another four-letter word. Too bad my grandmother hasn’t gotten the memo. When tech billionaire Rory Byrne approaches us, wanting to develop the matchmaking app my sister and I dreamed up (and Nana shot down), she jumps at the chance. My grandmother is nothing if not opportunistic. Of course, there’s a catch. She’ll only do it if Rory lets us matchmake him the old-fashioned way. He’s going to say no. Please God, let him say no. The last thing I want to do is matchmake an entitled rich jerk.

She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa, instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.

I figured being an extra for a local production would be a harmless distraction-a way for me to forget my charmed life is imploding. Sure, I'm the one who blew the whistle on my family business, but that doesn't make it any easier to sit around in the fallout. Worse, I have to spend every last minute on set with a woman who was hurt by my parents' greed. I'm determined to help her, thereby evening the scales of justice, but Delia Evans is so sunshiney and naïve and . . .Well, extra. And, to my utter astonishment, I find myself wanting more of her.

In the high-pressure world of varsity hockey at Wittmore U, being the team intern means more than overseeing grueling workouts and injuries. It's the colossal egos of the players that truly test my patience. Even if they did see me as something more than another locker room fixture created to tend to their bodies, my boss has made one thing clear:

As a bodyguard, I have one rule: don't get attached. Yet Daisy's got me hooked. When I'm asked to protect her, I can't resist. She's warmth and kindness wrapped up in a curvy package, and I'm willing to cross any line to keep her safe. Almost.

Story
I curate art for a living. This big show was supposed to pay my bills for the next year. Oh, and did I mention the star artist is my unfaithful ex? So I try to put on a brave face—after all, the clientele are worth billions. But my ex is doing everything in his power to rub it in. Holding his new girl a little too tight. Hanging around me a little too close. What I did next was a teensy bit impulsive. I grabbed the closest revenge hookup I could find... who just happened to be the billionaire dropping five mil at the auction.

Story
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I've inherited property from my father. I assume it's a scam, because my dad is alive. Turns out my mother is the liar. I board a flight to my bio-dad's hometown, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won't make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he's about to die. He seems to regret it immediately—and we both regret it when we discover he's my new neighbor.

Ruthless, arrogant, and cold-hearted are some of the words I would use to describe my a**hole of a boss, Damon Everette. That doesn't stop the goosebumps from rising along my neck every time he says my name or the way my pulse races when his stormy gray eyes pierce mine. So, when he coerces me into a fake marriage to uphold his family's tradition, I can't resist pushing his buttons. He's a walking red flag, and I should run the second this arrangement ends. But the very thought of losing him is suffocating—a dangerous addiction that I can't seem to break.

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

love Cal
I absolutely loved this book. Cal was a character that I have always been intrigued by and I am so happy that he got his own story. He is definitely book boyfriend material.
Molly is the perfect person to shake up his world. This story will draw you in and make you laugh, cry and just feel good.

New Series
The Bad Luck Club is a spinoff of the Ashville Brewing Series with a few people showing up in this book, but you can read this one as a stand alone without feeling lost. Molly and Cal meet when she's dogsitting for her sister and decides to find out about the Bad Luck Club. Cal is one of the founders but he doesn't want the information out because he has a secret that he has only told one other person. Molly has a secret, too. Can these two people work out in spite of their secrets or will it tear them apart? I liked this book and I'm looking forward to more like it. Chris Brinkley and Joy Nash bring Cal and Molly to life.

Great story
This may be my first book by this writing duo A.R. Casella & Denise Grover-Swank but it will not be my last. From the first chapter I was hooked on the story these authors wove and had no idea who wrote what or where one finished and the other took over; such was their seamlessness of their storytelling.
When I read the blurb for this book I was intrigued and knowing that this was book one in a new series I jumped at the opportunity to read and review. I fell hard and fast for Caleb (Cal) Reynolds and Molly O’Shea who the authors brought to life for me; they were easy to relate to and I rally liked them.
The narration by Joy Nash was spot on. Her voice was easy to listen to and she brought the story to life for me.
Although a Romcom, there is also more to this story than just fun and romance. There were moments where, sadness, pain and guilt were palpable and I was moved to tears. However the authors counted this with humour, love and romance, of learning to love and trust again and to heal.
Love At First Hate is a well written story that will draw you in hook, line and sinker; a little gem that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Enemies to lovers romcom!
This was a fun listen for me. It had me chuckling at the crazy things that happened. Molly and Cal are the perfect match for each other. I loved how Molly was able to meet up with the Bad Luck Club gang so I was beyond excited to see Harry. He’s my fave!!
The story is so sweet and the secrets are so sad. This book gave me so many emotions, and the steamy scenes were great. I enjoyed the duo POV and I was overjoyed to find out that the audiobook had two narrators as well. Joy and Chris were great and kept me engaged to the story they were telling. Great voices for Cal and Molly. If you’re a fan of enemies to lovers, then consider this romcom. You’re in for a treat!
