3.5 Stars Clare Gilmore's debut novel, Love Interest, is perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Dating You/Hating You.

Financial analyst Casey Maitland just lost out on a project manager role at her company to the board chairman's son, Alex Harrison. Although she wants to hate him, Casey begrudgingly agrees that Alex is perfect for the role. Besides, she has her sights set on a transfer to the London office, but only if she can work through the financial aspects of the project that Alex is now leading. Casey and Alex are thrown together time and time again, and neither can deny the chemistry that's between them. They start to explore their attraction to each other, but what are they? Are they dating? FWBs? While caught up in each other, Alex and Casey also become caught up in secrets and corporate intrigue that may put their jobs--and the entire company--at risk.

This book reminded me a lot of Dating You/Hating You by Christina Lauren, but the main characters aren't competing for the same job the entire time, nor are they pranking each other. Casey and Alex were sweet main characters who had a lot in common but also seemed to be the inverse of each other, as Casey's friend points out. This makes them a good match since they both challenge and understand one another. Overall, this was a quick and sweet romance.
