I love the Bergmann brothers, so anything else Chloe Liese writes is a no-brainer for me! This was a fun, contemporary romance like all her others that also has some great poignant moments. Adored this.

I just love anything that Liese writes!! Her characters are so relatable and this one in particular involved one of my favorite tropes, the enemies to lovers!! It was so fun, cute, and steamy!!!

I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than the first book, and appreciated that while a lot of the book was the two main characters overcoming their misunderstandings of each other, instead of the third act being a break up because of an overheard conversation, they actually talk to each other. Can't wait for the third one!

I love love loved this book! I shouldn't be surprised since I have enjoyed many other books by this author, but I wasn't sure where this particular story of two people who grew up together yet couldn't stand each other was going to go. Turns out, it's the best

I absolutely adored this book!

Something about Chloe Liese’s writing completely captivates me and sucks me into the characters world.

This book deals with some hard topics, but the author wrote it in a way that thoughtful and considerate. I also loved the enemies to lovers, slow burn, and chronic illness/disability rep we got in the book.

Such a great second book and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s work!

I didn't expect to love Better Hate than Never more than the previous book. Much Ado About Nothing is by far my favorite Shakespeare and I usually can't stand Taming of the Shrew. But Chloe Liese really nails the tension in this book and I couldn't put it down!

I tried SO hard with this one, but it was not for me. First of all, the enemies-to-lovers plotline felt so childish and unwarranted. I'm a sucker for good banter, but this just felt like immature bickering and because of that, I found myself completely uninvested in the characters and their romance. I just didn't feel a lot of depth from either character and Christopher was just not good book-boyfriend material so no thanks.

This story is a great example of how to make the enemies to lovers trope work. My big issue with this trope (even though it’s one of my favorites) is that the reader has to believe the couple can get over whatever it was that made them hate each other. This means that their hatred can’t be TOO awful and that they are able to forgive each other for whatever perceived hatred they had. Kate and Christopher are a great romance couple and I loved watching their relationship unfold. The male friendships in this book are wonderful. Jamie and Chris looking after each other and caring about the other was a delight. The side characters in this book are also a treat and really made the story complete.

The second book in the Wilmot Sisters series is centered on Kate, the youngest Wilmot. Historically Kate has spent more of her time away from home, but when her sister needs some time away, she makes her way back home. Kate has ADHD and it's depicted with a lot of care. Her childhood next-door neighbor is still very much a part of her family member's lives, much to her chagrin. The tension between Kate and Christopher is a delight, but it's haunted them both for too long. Now that she's back in town, Kate has to decide where she fits in with her family and if she can tolerate Christopher or not. It's a feminist retelling of The Taming of the Shrew and there are so many nods to the play. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed Two Wrongs Make a Right.

This was a fine read. I know the title said “hate” but I couldn’t get over how cruel these two were to each other at the beginning. However, I did enjoy all the subtle nods to Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew especially with the characters names. Very cute. Ultimately, I enjoyed Jamie and Bea’s romance better.

Ooooo! I love me a good enemies to lovers and Chloe Liese always knows how to write them!

When Kate has to return home because of an injury, she comes face to face with Christopher- her nemesis since childhood. Being so close to Kate's family, Christopher is forced to spend a lot of time around her over the holidays. In a drunken moment, Kate confesses that she's only mean to Christopher because she thinks he hates her. After this, a truce has been declared between the two: to be nice to one another. Can they do it?

I loved this enemies to lovers romance! After the misunderstanding what dealt with, the romance that blossoms between the two is so sweet and caring.

I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a enemies to lovers book, or anyone who is a die hard stan of Chloe Liese- like I am!

It's a decent book by Chloe Liese, but not as good as her previous enemies-to-lovers novel, Only When It's Us. I didn't feel invested in the main couple's relationship. Nevertheless, I will still read the next book in the series, although my expectations will be lower this time.

I love Chloe but the representation of the age gap is so creepy in this book- the constant references to his memories of her as a baby were ick.

In true Chloe Liese style this enemies-to-lovers story shines a light on the neurodivergent and hidden disabilities. Based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew this story has all the banter, and sass you want in a romcom.

Katerina Wilmot is a world traveling photographer and has ADHD. She has impulse control issues, and says whatever is on her mind. Christopher Petruchio runs his family's hedge fund company. He is measured and careful, and suffers from debilitating migraines. He's six years her senior, and grew up alongside her as neighbours. Now, as adults they can't stand each other. The family is sick of their bickering, so when Christopher agrees to be nicer, Kate's on high alert. And while being nice, Christopher learns so much more about the woman Kate is, and what she really thinks of him. To say he's surprised is an understatement. Their communication, and honesty really made the story for me.

I loved the family dynamic, and am truly looking forward to book three, Juliet's story!!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love this spin on The Taming of the Shrew! The friends/enemies to lovers arc was so organic, deliciously slowburn, and realistic. I found the characters’ demisexuality and chronic migraines represented with care and honesty. This book and some of the dialogue will live rent-free in my head forevermore. It was just so good I don’t even have the words to describe it!

(Also no third act breakup woohoo!!!)

Was really excited to read this one, especially after learning it was a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew. And though the sexual tension and angst was very evident, I found myself wanting more. I felt the enemies to lovers angle could've had more depth, and the romance more developed. I will still recommend this for readers wanting childhood enemies to lovers, because though it just wasn't for me, others may like this.

Thank you to the publisher for so kindly granting me an e-arc to read!

I don't think Chloe Liese's writing is for me. This is my second book by her, and something about the writing, the characters - I can't put my finger on it - just makes me disengage. I made it 50% through this book before I decided life it too short to read books that aren't speaking to us. I found the way characters spoke to each other completely unrealistic, and the plot was moving very slowly.

Most romance readers will probably love this, but it wasn't for me.

In true Chloe fashion this book gave me all the feels with a side of serious slowburn! She truly can do no wrong in my eyes 🥹

Sometimes Chloe Liese is hit or miss for me but this one was good and as always, steamy! I thought both chracters were well drawn and had a good journey

This was... average.

In Two Wrongs Make a Right, I absolutely loved the buildup between our two protagonists. But in this one, I just... didn't care. I thought Kate and Christopher acted incredibly childish towards one another, despite being two grown-ass adults. And once they got together, things just turned too sweet for my taste.

That being said, I do enjoy Chloe Liese's writing. She's skillful at conveying emotions and storytelling. I also really appreciate the representation in this author's books. From what I've read so far, she always finds a way to incorporate characters who are disabled, struggle with mental health matters, or are on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
