Description de l’éditeur
She walked away from the spotlight. He hides behind rules.
But when a bacon-loving golden retriever brings them together, one unlikely competition changes everything.
Ruby Taylor swore off pageants years ago. But when she's guilted into showing a lazy, food-obsessed dog in a local canine competition, she's thrust back into a world she thought she left behind—heels, judgment, and all.
Veterinarian Spencer Wilson may be the grumpiest dog-show judge around, but he takes his job seriously. And Ruby? She's a glitter bomb of chaos and determination he didn't see coming.
With razor-sharp banter, sizzling tension, and a cast of unforgettable canines, I Hate You More is a romantic comedy for readers who crave heart, heat, and humor. Lucy Gilmore delivers a pitch-perfect enemies-to-lovers romp packed with emotional bite and tender surprises—tailor-made for fans of Katharine Center and The Hating Game.
"As appealing as a puppy."—Publishers Weekly STARRED for Puppy Christmas
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sparks fly when a former beauty queen crosses paths with an uptight veterinarian in the run-up to the West Coast Canine Classic dog show in this delightfully over-the-top rom-com from Gilmore (Ruff and Tumble). Though 28-year-old Ruby Taylor abandoned her pageantry career at 18 to work as a nursing assistant in a senior residence, she trusts her competition know-how will help her fulfill an old woman's dying wish to see her golden retriever, Wheezy, win a local dog show. Thirty-year-old Spencer Wilson, one of the Canine Classic judges, has never seen a more beautiful woman or a less qualified dog. But when Ruby hires Spencer's twin brother and roommate, Caleb, to train Wheezy, Spencer is pulled into close contact with Ruby, and the more time they spend together, the more he's tempted to throw away the rule book. Gilmore's empathetic, appealing lovers both wrestle with old family dynamics—Ruby with her demanding pageant coach mother and Spencer with his challenging twin—as they seek to break out of roles that no longer work for them. Snappy dialogue, a brisk pace, and buoyant humor will charm Gilmore's fans and newcomers alike.
