This was a quick and pleasant read. I enjoyed the animal shelter setting, and the two main characters were both likeable and had chemistry. There was one scene in a motel room that was sizzling hot. However, it was unclear to me what exactly happened with the characters in the past and why they were enemies to begin with, as it wasn’t really explained properly. And you had to suspend disbelief about the fact that the MMC just happened to be assigned to the shelter the FMC happened to work for. Otherwise it was an enjoyable book.

El estilo de escritura no funcionó para mi.


De la nada el cantante de rock, Nate, desarrolló miedo escénico, se metió en problemas y tiene que regresar a su pueblo natal. Como es famoso se volvió creído y algo mimado.

Beverly trabaja es un refugio de animales y su sueño es abrir un propio refugio para salvar a mas animalitos. Pero para eso requiere dinero y un mejor puesto por lo que quiere un ascenso, entonces su jefa le dice que el trabajo es suyo sí superara dos tareas:
- Guiar de manera adecuada a su nuevo pasante.
- Recaudar $10,000 dólares más que él año pasado.

Las dos peticiones parecen posibles, pero hay un gran problema y es que su pasante resulta ser Nate con quien tiene una historia que termino mal.


No me gustó que desde el principio ella cae por él y más viendo el tipo de historia que tienen. Era necesario aclarar lo del beso y que poco a poco él se fuera ganando la confianza y cariño de Bev.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a super fun read! Nate Hart is a musician on tour- with stage fright. After an “altercation”, he’s sent back to his hometown, Melody Bay, for service work. Enter Bev: Melody Bay Animal Shelter’s number one intern. When Nate gets assigned as Bev’s assistant, old history gets dug up!

I really, really liked these characters! Bev and Nate are so relatable and I was rooting for them both the whole time. Their love story was *chefs kiss* I loved Bev’s dad, and their relationship was so sweet to read. The only reason Im giving 3 stars and not 4 is because there was nothing much special. I never had any emotions that I was really, deeply feeling. There were also some very, very small details I noticed that did not match up.

This was a very quick read! The fast pace is perfect for getting out of a reading slump (which we all hate) and you won't get bored!

Bev works in a shelter and is forced to work with Nate, a rock star, doing community service. They have to go on a road trip to pick up a traumatized dog. ..

Love the enemis to lovers trope. Fun banter. Love the one bed one motel room plot too. :) The dogs and cats steal so many scenes too. A cute rom-com.

Thanks to the publisher for the books.

Who doesn’t like romcoms about second chances, true love, and bad boys reformed with some animals thrown in? I know I sure do and I Hate Rock Stars did not disappoint.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
You can find my review also on Goodreads.

"I Hate Rock Stars" is the perfect summer romcom for those who are fond of the genre. It mixes all the ingredients that make readers giggle while kicking their feet: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, workplace romance, one bed, second chance romance, small town...should I say more?

In short, Beverly is a young woman that works at Melody Bay Animal Shelter: she loves animals, loves taking care of them and really wants to get promoted. To get there she has to earn a decent sum of money at the foundraiser event the shelter hosts once a year and has to work with a new intern. But what if that intern is a famous rock star that also happens to be a huge part of Beverly's past. How will this end?

I am a huge fan of romances that start with good premises like this one did, even though it is not my favorite genre to read. Overall, the book is a nice and pleasant read: i finished it in less than a day and i had a lot of fun reading it. I think it's fun, witty and sweet.
Bev and Nate are cute and hilarious, the kind of couple you immediately start rooting for. I have to say their relationship is a bit rushed, especially toward the end, but overall engaging. The characters are brilliant, especially Beverly, and I absolutely fell in love with every single animal that stayed at MBAS. Of course Moose holds a special place in my heart.

I would totally recommend this book!

NetGalley fue generoso y me aprobo un arc de este libro.

Lo comencé a leer y dije seeeh re interesante.... let me tell you I WAS FOOLED.
Parece salido directamente de wattpad which is not wrong but we're in 2024, it's time to update our writing skills guys.

Para hacer una lectura descontracturante despues de leerte 500 paginas de un libro de fantasia re sirve pero hasta ahi nomas. No es un libro que recomendaria.

Ah y la fecha de publicación es el 8 de agosto besitos

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There is Bev who works at the Melody Bay Animal Shelter and she has a new intern but is also trying to get her promotion. Her intern is Nick Hart a rock star and he was a local at one time and returned, he got caught with something and now is an intern and not on tour anymore. maybe this is their second chance. The side characters contributed significantly to the story, adding more depth to the story.

Some of the Tropes
-Enemies to lovers
-Workplace romance
-Second chance
-Small town (beach)
-Forced proximity
-One bed
