My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a cute book to read. It had me laughing till I couldnt breathe. It features Hudson who is a Holm, that has the world at his feet. Having some bad PR when he decides to boot the local shelter, there are a lot of people who aren’t happy with him including the main protagonist Georgia. He tries to get through the bad PR by trying to get his cat to be an online celebrity, which is what Georgia is trying to do to save the little shelter by getting her boxer to do funny little things online. When these two meet up online sparks fly among other things! The mischief these two get into online gets hilarious. I loved reading this story and look forward to other books written by this author

This romance really had it all, I mean who doesn’t love a romance that you can pull for, great characters, and all of the cute adorable pets you could imagine? This book really takes you on an emotional roller coaster, as we watch Georgia grow and change well go from laughing, to crying, to wanting to throw the book. But in the end this romance is just absolutely perfect for either being the next read on your tbr or getting you out of a reading slump. Personally I have never read anything from this author before but after reading this one I will definitely be looking for more.

Enemies to lovers
This was a very entertaining read. With lots of laugh out loud moments, this romantic comedy will appeal to a wide audience. With relatable characters who say it as it is and a good balance of drama, angst and romance I had a really good time reading this book. Hudson and Georgia were so opposite that when the chemistry started to click it made for a bit of heat. Looking forward to seeing more from this author.

4 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This romantic comedy was sweet and fun to read. I love the cover of the book and it drew me in instantly and a story that I needed to curl up to after a long week….

Georgia is a spunky, business owner of Celestial
Pets …. who also takes the world on her shoulders. Georgia tries to also help save a local pet shelter while making cute costumes for pet owners…while balancing a big increase in her rental space. Hudson Holm is all business… trying to clean up the aftermath after a fallout at the pet shelter and rent increases… while trying to take care of a cat named Oliver. When Georgia is paired up with Hudson for a social media frenzy that you need to use your pet while conversing… the fun begins. Hudson has Oliver the cat while Georgia has Cookie her dog. The banter back and forth….and not knowing they know each otherwise… what happens when Georgia finds out that Hudson is partly responsible with the rental increases and the pet shelter losing their space?

I loved Georgia’s character as I can totally relate trying to take care of everyone even at times of struggle.

I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate You Later was a sweet, cute rom-com. I mean, seriously, how can you go wrong when pets are involved???

Georgia is a tiny little thing, but don’t let her size fool you. She literally packs a punch…just ask the younger Holm brother, Bryce. Underneath her tough exterior lies a heart of gold who adores animals and will do anything and everything in her power to save the pet shelter that is in danger of closing because of the Holm family.

Hudson is in town trying to fix the PR mess his younger brother has created. While he might share the last name with his brother, Bryce, he is certainly nothing like him. He has no intention of sticking around for too long. He wants to fix the problem and leave. But, he didn’t expect his encounter with Georgia would change everything for him.

As you can probably guess, these two clash in a big way. Yet, underneath the animosity lies some pretty powerful chemistry and attraction. Both are vying for a pet influencer prize in a contest, and neither suspects that they are chatting with each other online as their pets. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen when they learned each others’ true identities. It was well worth the wait!!!

This read had everything I was looking for…sexy banter, humor, a sweet HEA, and dogs and cats! If you are looking for a light-hearted romance, you can’t go wrong with this one!!!

Hate You Later: Lit Lovers Series Book 1

I love Georgia! I picked this book because of the animals and they are usually the ones I tend to love the most. As much as I love Cookie and Oliver, they don’t get first place this time.

Georgia is not afraid of anyone, but will not ask for help. But that is the way people who had to grow up way too fast tend to be and that is something that connected us for sure.

Hudson isn’t as bad as I had thought at the being. Was prepared for him to be a rich jerk who throws his money in everyone’s face but that wasn’t him.

Georgia and her friendship with Kenna is a lot like the one with my best friend and that made me love them all the more.

Hate You Later: Lit Lovers Series #1 by Ciara Blume

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers Series. Hate You Later is a great read. I didn’t put it down until I was done with it. I didn’t realize that it was a fast read.

Georgia is a small business owner and going through a rent hike. She punches one brother and literally runs into the other. Then she realizes that her buddy is the one person she despises. The quote I chose for Georgia is: “I didn’t sleep great last night. Nothing that a little bit of Kenna’s coffee can’t fix right up. I see you’ve both met Emily?”

Hudson is back in town to clean up his step brother’s mess. Little does he know that there is more than one mess. He then meets Georgia and finds that he can’t keep his mind off her. The quote I chose for Hudson is: “Is there anything else I need to know about? Any other surprise ‘executive’ decisions you’ve made? You left me the contact info for the foreman and copies of all the documents for the permits?”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Georgia owns a small town pet store and has entered into a Pet Influencer contest with her dog, Cookie. Hudson’s family owns a large company that owns the building Georgia’s shop rents, and has just raised the rent. He, too, has entered the contest but with his cat, Oliver. Coincidentally, they have been paired up in the contest. The two keep running into each other but Hudson’s business threatens Georgia’s business. With Georgia’s hatred of Hudson’s family and their business, the sparks that are flying are either love or hate.
Opinion
This is definitely a “meet cute’ book. With the two bumping into each other constantly, the reader sits on the edge waiting for them to realize who the other one is. Laughter and frustration are certain while reading this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves cute love stories.

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers, #1)Hate You Later by Ciara Blume
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining romantic comedy which had me happily turning the pages. This was a lighthearted and heartwarming story, with a twist on the enemies to lovers theme, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Georgia Starr is dedicated to saving strays, and will do anything to rescue the pet shelter which is being threatened by the Holm family. Georgia comes up with the idea of dressing up her adorable, but goofy boxer mutt and making him a viral sensation, in order to save the shelter. Hudson Holm is dealing with the fallout from booting the pet shelter, when he comes up with an idea to fix his family’s PR problems. His plan involves turning the Persian cat who he’s cat sitting for into an online celebrity.
Every time Georgia and Hudson meet in person they can’t deny their mutual attraction but they also clash, a bit like cats and dogs! What they don’t know is that they have been chatting happily online, just as their pets. However, once their identities are revealed will they stay as enemies of become lovers. This story had a real feel good factor, with some great characters, especially Georgia and Hudson, who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. The animal characters were just as likeable as their owners, and the storyline flowed well. It had some real laugh out loud moments as well as some drama and of course plenty of romance. I definitely recommend this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Light hearted romance that doesn’t feel tacky or overdone. It plays on clichés, chance what-if’s, and the opportunity for readers to shake their heads in knowing as we watch these characters fall. It kept the humor without being cheesy, and had some hard-hitting concepts that were relatable and felt close to home. It dealt with struggles that typical romances don’t hit on without centering solely around them.

Overall a good read and lighthearted feel good book.

Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers Series and is a super fun Rom Com that I absolutely loved reading. I’m fairly new to this author but I’m definitely adding her to my list to check out what other books she has written. I had so much fun reading this book I caught myself laughing a lot. The characters are fun and developed and make the story come to life. It’s not at all what I was expecting but it was just what I needed to read . This is a story about Georgia and Hudson, she has a business making pet costumes and his family owns the building. These two are both about to use there pets in online chat to get to know each other. I was laughing so hard at times I was asked what was so funny and I kept on reading. I highly recommend reading this super fun book to find out what happens next.

This fantastic book just leaves you with the biggest smile on your face! I truly can’t wait to read more of this series and from this wonderful talented author.

This is a sweet light read – a romcom. Georgia runs a business that makes costumes for dogs and supports a pet rescue. Hudson is the family that owns the building that her business is in. What they don’t know is that they have been paired up in a pet owner’s contest – so while bad news comes through the business side, they are flirty and interested each other via their pets! This is a great light read – sweet and quick. I enjoyed this as a palate cleanser between some heavy reads. If you love romance, this is a good one to pick up!

I just loved this book! Georgia and Hudson are as different as the dog and cat they respectively own. This rom com had me in stitches at their antics. Both main characters are stubborn and unwilling to admit what is right in front of them. The online chats were perfect and so realistic. I can’t wait to tear into the next book.

I LOVED this story! It is vastly entertaining! I enjoyed the fast pace and the lovely characters! It all just blended together perfectly to make a sweetly charming story. There are many humorous moments that made me laugh out loud.

The characters are well done and yet flawed at the same time. I was excited to get to know them! They really are likable and/or lovable and I enjoyed them immensely. The interactions between the two main personalities is one of my favorite things about this story. Watching them get together is the sweetest. Secondary characters are just as delightful. I liked that there were a limited number of characters that I could learn about and love. Too many and it is easy to get lost but this book isn’t like that at all.

I could write more and more about what I loved about this book. My best suggestion is just to get it and enjoy it yourself. I could not have asked for a better story from a new to me author than between the Viking and the Battle Pixie. Get it! You wont be sorry!

Later Hater!

This book reminded me of one of Sophie Kinsella romances, a laugh out loud romantic comedy. The two protagonists are very strong willed and have a personality of their own. They are very independent, one hates asking for help and the other hates to be taken advantage of.
What happens when their personalities clash? There is a lot of quirks, banter, sparks, tender emotions, pets, rescue, debate, and some drama thrown in.
It is fun,lot of gimmicks, I really enjoyed this book. Will check out more from this author.

Hate You Later is such a feel good romantic comedy! The banter between the two main characters, Georgia and Hudson, as they pretend to be their pets for an influencer challenge is so entertaining and flirtatious. This book has it all though; there’s humor, realistic, loveable characters, lots of ups and downs, and of course, pets! The inclusion of the pets is such an important part of this story and Ciara Blume does a wonderful job in seamlessly incorporating them. This was the first book I’ve read by Blume, but after reading this book, it certainly won’t be the last! I recommend this book to anyone who needs a feel-good, enemies to lovers romance.

This book was an easy read, enemies to lovers comedy. I did find it to be a little hard to get into at the beginning but after I got through a couple of chapters, I liked it. Georgia & Hudson are both likable characters, but I wish they had more natural chemistry. I enjoyed their pets being an added element to the story. It gave an additional I didn’t know the story needed!

I really enjoyed this story. The characters were easy to like and the enemies to lovers story was good with a unique twist.
This story is definately a rom com filled with funny goings on. Our main characters at first hate each other after Georgia finds out that Hudson is part of the family that is messing up her business and threatening the animal shelter she cares so much about.
Any attraction that was there goes in an instant to hate.
But there is a twist in this tale.
Georgia is part of an influencer challenge as her pet dog and she is paired with a cat?

As they work as a team to complete the challenges the connection between them gets stronger but neither knows who is behind their pets.
What happens when the owners come out from behind their pets? Will the attraction still be there? Or will they continue to fight like cat and dog?

This is a really fun story and I loved the pet element it added extra mystery to the story as you don’t know who is behind the pets and when it is reveled you will be shocked and happily surprised.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a perfect beach read romance that’ll keep you coming back for more of the character’s antics. I love the take on being petfluencers and a feel good storyline. This story has everything you could want; a romance you pull for, characters you love to hate, and cute pets that seem to dictate their owners lives.

Georgia is the owner of Celestial Pets which specializes in clothes for all kinds of pets as well as natural foods and treats. When her world comes crashing down all at once thanks to the millionaire Holms. First they boot the pet shelter out of their current location, then the rent hike, and possibly theft. So when Georgia meets Hudson he’s not so bad until she finds out he is a Holm. Can Georgia and Hudson move past the bad blood caused by Bryce to find their happily ever after? Can Georgia manage to save everything she holds dear even if it means asking for help once in a while?

This book is all about growth, we see Georgia grow as a person and a friend. She finds that not all problems have to be solved by yourself and sometimes you need a little help from those who care about you. It was so fun to see the relationship develop and everything come to light regarding Georgia’s finances. This is an amazing book that’ll make you laugh, make you cry, and even make you want to deck someone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute rom-com! The main characters are doing an online Petfluencer challenge and they have been paired together, but they have no idea who the other person is, because part of the challenge is they can only communicate as the personality of their pet. While they are struggling to figure things out in the real world, their pet personalities are starting to wonder if a cat and dog can make things work. Georgia is a fantastic main character who takes no nonsense from anyone. She is tiny but fierce, the complete opposite of her sweet boxer mix Cookie. Hudson is her perfect match, a sexy Viking lookalike that gets her heart racing, despite knowing it’s his family that is creating barriers for her business to help support the animal shelter. Hudson is cat sitting Oliver, a very prissy white cat. Add in coffee witch best friend, a brilliant stepsister, and a loving brother, you have all of the hallmarks of a great romantic comedy, full of hilarious banter and misunderstandings. The characters are all fans of a podcast called Lit Lovers which is common theme throughout the book. I am so excited to see which character will be featured in the next series and I look forward to seeing Georgia, Cookie, Hudson, and Oliver in the next book!

I never related more to a character, than I did to Georgia. Ain’t nobody got time to deal with dead end douche bags, silly drama, and bullies who think they can come in a take what they want. Georgia is a strong, independent, kick ass character. I loved the witty banter between her and Hudson. The angst and attraction is there from the get go! I couldn’t wait to find out how the story ended. Overall, I find this to be a really fun and easy read. It was exactly what I was looking for and I look forward to the rest of the Lit Lovers Series.

This book was literally one of the cutest I’ve read in a while. This was exactly what I needed to get out of a slump!! I was hooked with the whole pets aspect of this and it revolving around pet shelters and shops. I really was having such a fun time reading this I liked the parts where they talk to each other as the pets it was adorable. I really connected with Georgia and her issues with asking for help and feeling the need to take care of everyone plus your own issues on your own. Hudson was a strong male lead and I adored him. This was an easy read and I highly recommend especially if you like pets being in books

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you grinning like a cheshire cat and at times literally laughing out loud, then this book is for you!

Hate You Later by Ciara Blume follows feisty, tough Georgia Starr. She’s on a mission to save the animal shelter and hopes the pet-infuencer challenge she entered her boxer mutt in will help. Can she do it without doing what she hates most, opening up and asking for help?

Enter Hudson Holm. He’s, handsome, wealthy and just so happens to be part of the family who is responsible for closing the animal shelter.

Georgia and Hudson clash like cats and dogs…but opposites attract!

This story had such great characters. The banter was so entertaining. I did not want to put this book down. The enemies to lovers trope is in full swing in this romantic comedy and I could not get enough!

Ciara Blume’s Hate You Later is an original and light hearted Rom Com that will have you laughing out loud at times. It is an enemy to lover’s tale where you can’t help but fall in love with the characters.

This is my first read of this author’s work and I will certainly be reading more of her work. Her narrative flows easily and is a refreshing read.

The banter and antics of both animals and humans in the story make this feel-good tale a wonderful afternoon delight to escape the stress of the day.

I loved the snark, the claws, the chemistry and the fun and I know you will not be disappointed either. Make sure to add to your TBR list.

I enjoyed this book. I really liked Hudson and his relationship with Georgia. I loved the focus on pets too- animals put a good perspective in stories. You learn a lot about characters when animals are a part of it. I enjoyed the frenemies plot and thought overall the story was good. I would read more by this author.
