[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
Hate You Not by Ella James is a new enemy to lovers stand-alone romance.
June finds herself with custody of her late sisters two children. She can’t give them the lavish California life they are accustomed to but can provide them with all the love they could ever need. She lives on and owns a struggling farm in Georgia but can keep a roof over their heeds, food in the bellies, and smiles on their faces. When their uncle Burke discovers their new situation he’s less than thrilled. He has money and he wants the kids with him. He shows up with a poor attitude and highly underestimates June. It isn’t long before he realizes his mistake and sees she’s the right person for the kids and maybe for him.
This should have been a home run hit or me. I was absolutely sold by the synopsis. Big city boy, country bumpkin , cute kids, angst and sexual tension. It was a great idea but somewhere along the line it didn’t come together quite right. I can’t even pin point what exactly it was. I guess the connection between June and Burke just didn’t work for me at all. It felt cheap, the writing didn’t make me believe they had any genuine feelings. They didn’t flow as a pairing and somehow the whole story line felt forced.
Overall, Hate You Not by Ella James just didn’t meet my expectations. A decent enemy to lovers romance with cute kids, farm animals and southern hospitality.
