Hate You Later (Lit Lovers, #1)Hate You Later by Ciara Blume
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I felt this was a decent read but not anything spectacular. I kept trying to grasp the plot but it fell a bit flat for me and read slower than I had anticipated. The characters were well written but I felt a disconnect from them and the relationship felt struggled and ingenuine. I love enemies to lovers plus the added bonus of dogs and cats but something failed to click. I found myself drifting off and just skimming the story in certain sections as it got longwinded and repetitive, especially the conversations between Cookie and Oliver. I wanted to love it based on the description and other’s reviews but I guess it just wasn’t for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although this love story has a classic theme, there are several twists. The main characters are amazing, and the growth they show throughout the novel is phenomenal! The female protagonist learns to ask others for help, rather than always insisting on doing everything by herself or on her own. The male protagonist learns that he is worthy of love without having to do things for people. The pets are a great addition!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate You Later is an enemies-to-lovers Rom-Com story by Ciara Blume. Georgia and Hudson clash in person but are strongly attracted to each other. However, when these two chat online as their pets they get along wonderfully. The story reminds me a bit of “You’ve Got Mail”. I really enjoyed this story. There is excellent chemistry between Georgia and Hudson. There are plenty of sweet moments as well as moments that have you laughing out loud. I loved the involvement of their pets in the story. This is a very good read and entertaining read.

I LOVED this story so much! Honestly I think it’s up there with my favourite reads of 2022 and I love that this is also the first book that I have read by this author. This is one of those books that could so easily be turned into a film – I would happily sit and watch this any day of the week! I loved everything about this book, it was funny, emotional, romantic and so much more. I adored the characters both human and furry!!! The story was so much fun to read, it flowed well and it really was just an absolute pleasure to read.
This was a wonderful read, one I thoroughly enjoyed and could talk about all day and 100% one that I would recommend to other readers looking for a lovely light-hearted read with wonderful characters!

What an awesome book to get cozy under the covers and lose yourself in! I enjoyed the lightheartedness and the characters were fun and well thought out! Opposites attract in this cute romance!

It was hard to put down and I ended up reading the whole book in one sitting! if you’re looking for a feel-good warm fuzzy feeling novel, this ones for you!

This book has made me a definite fan of Ciara Blume. It a contemporary romantic comedy. Georgia one of the main characters was very relatable to me. I felt like I had so much in common with her. Alot of great emotions in this one, I laughed and almost cried. I am a huge animal lover, so it was a win win for me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love that this is not the only installment we are going to get of these characters! The book was fun and flirty and frustrating – a complete package!

I am a huge fan of 90’s rom coms and this was nostalgic for that type of story. The author did an incredible job of creating an homage to “You’ve Got Mail” and it even included pets! There is definitely a niche for romantic literature that includes dogs and cats because so many of us really incorporate their lives and attitudes into our own. I love doing anything that I can bring my dog along to, so the main events of this book were something I can completely relate to. The characters were unique but universal – I am sure every one reading has a friend like Kenna, and knows the jerk from high school like Bryce.

Couldn’t put this one down, and can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Entering a social media contest featuring pets is her hope to build more clientele for her small pet accessories business. As she navigates through challenges as her dog, Cookie, she gets to know her partner in the contest, a cat named Oliver – or rather his owner. Meanwhile, a real axe throwing viking fantasy come true enters her life and frustrates her in too many ways to count. Can she figure out how to let someone into her life?

This is such a cute story with great characters and lots of twists along the way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a fun book! Pets and romance definitely mix! I knew from the start it was going to be a mess with Hudson and Georgia, but a mess I looked forward to watching. All the ways in which they are connected, whether it was through friends, the pet influencer challenge or just bumping into each other, you could tell there was something between them. It was super sweet to see Hudson kind of fall in love right from the beginning, he couldn’t get Georgia off his mind and even though they were opposites, they definitely attracted. His brother Bryce is a real piece of work and his dad Walker, yikes, but they made for interesting additions to the story. Definite recommendation!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers series. The blurb sounded like a fun rom-com, and the story did not disappoint. Of course, there is a happily ever after but I enjoyed the realistic dialogue between the main characters. This is a fun, enjoyable getaway read that had me laughing at the story. I also enjoyed the cats and dogs. What better way to get to know someone than through the cats and dogs in their lives?
Georgia is a relatable character to me having difficulty asking others for help. Hudson was a good counter to Georgia. I enjoyed the back and forth between the two of them.
I look forward to reading more in this series soon.

Opposites attract. This is a cute story. I am so glad I picked this book up and read it. Cover to cover in one sitting. It kept me entertained and engaged the whole way through. Georgia and Hudson have real chemistry, whether it be as friends, lovers, or enemies you will just have to read the book to find out. This book is definitely one of the best I have read this year.

Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers series by Ciara Blume. It is a fun enemies to lovers contemporary romantic comedy with plenty of chemistry, sparks, banter, angst, touching moments, pet rescue, cats vs dogs, antics, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
This is my first read from Ms. Blume, and after reading this I can honestly say that it definitely won’t be the last. This was such a fun read; I can’t wait to explore more of Ms. Blume’s stories.
If you love a fun read, that will make you laugh out loud at the antics- then you should snap up a copy for yourself and discover all the funny, fur-flying, sweet, and feel good moments for yourself.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Ciara Blume!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me to read and enjoy, certainly I know for a fact now, I will be looking forward to reading more by this author! The writing style was easy to read, and very light and refreshing!

I loved this story, it was a light hearted read, yes, but there was so much to it. Of course I will read anything under romance, throw in animals, and you know I am sold completely. I loved the author did a good blend as if making a good smoothie, you had romance moments, stressful moments, and moments where you did not know where the characters would end up as you turned the pages. The story and intrigue, and moments where you HAD to know what would happen next after the events. I very much enjoyed the author’s writing style and the story and characters they created. Look forward to reading more!

Wonderful read. I felt it was refreshing, like the smell outside after it rained. Definitely a read worth reading. Highly recommend this book as well as the author. Both are a must read Author has gained a new fan!

This is a fun and entertaining romance that is easy to read and very easy to enjoy. I found this to be one of those books that you get swept up in and read in one sitting. I was rooting for the characters and wanted to see how things would work out in the end.
This is a new author to me and I enjoyed getting to know her writing style. She has created a book that has the right amount of romance mixed with the right amount of emotion. The book flowed well and I was caught up in the story from the moment I started reading. This was a great story and I look forward to discovering more of her work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, she might be little, but she has a black belt and will punch you out. I loved the bar scene where she knocked out Bryce. Though, my favorite was the accidental punch to Hunter towards the end. Georgia is an absolute pistol that will take you by surprise. She is just trying to run her business and save the animal shelter. Hunter just happens to be part of the crappy family that evicted them from the location where the shelter used to be. I laughed so hard while reading this book. It is definitely a love/hate relationship at the start. They grow on each other as the chemistry starts to perk. It was a delight to read and watch their relationship grow. The struggle is real, people. Love isn’t perfect. The tone and flow of the story is just right. The characters were perfect. They were so relatable. Overall, a romantic comedy to love.

Georgia Starr loathes asking for help, she’s tired of being let down. As a former foster kid dedicated to saving strays, she’ll do anything to rescue the pet shelter being threatened by the heartless Holm family. Could making her adorably dressed, goofy boxer mutt a viral sensation save the shelter and everything she cares about? 

Hudson doesn’t need anyone else asking him for favors simply because he’s a Holm. He’s got his hands full dealing with the fallout from booting the pet shelter. If he can turn the persnickety Persian he’s cat sitting into an online celebrity, will it be enough to fix his family’s PR problems? 

Georgia and Hudson clash like cats and dogs whenever they meet in person but they can’t deny a certain animal attraction. If only real life human conversations were as easy as chatting as their pets online! What will happen when they reveal their true identities? 

Watch the fur fly and stick around for the warm fuzzies in this stand-alone, series starter, enemies-to-lovers romcom.
