definitely better than the first one.

En resumen, "To Hate Adam Connor" es una novela romántica entretenida y emocionante que seguro hará las delicias de los amantes del género.

This book was just as cute and maybe more funny than the first book. I really enjoyed both of these reads. I think Jason is still my favorite out of the two guys though....

loved every single thing about this

I unfortunately agree with many of the other one and two star reviews here. I DNF'd when I hit the epilogue because I just didn't care enough to see what happened.

I normally wouldn't put up with such an insufferable heroine, but I kept hoping she'd change her attitude and impress me, that that would be part of her character growth as the story progressed. But no. She was immature, annoying, illogical and selfish the entire book. Her only redeeming quality was how she acted around Aiden.

I have no idea what attracted Adam or her ex, other than that she was a freak in the sheets and could take a big dick like a pro... Because we were told that over and over and over. Cock and dick were used about 140 times in this book and I'd say the majority of them were spouted by the FMC when she was reminding us how much she appreciated and needed a big one. I feel awful for any men reading this book who are average or below average, because there was a lot of dick size shaming throughout.

The kid was cute, and IMO had some neurodivergent qualities (whether that was intentional or not I don't know) but like the other single dad romance I recently read, was far too mature, eloquent and calm for a five year old.

The sex scenes were the best parts of the book. Adam was satisfyingly rough and dominant after all his dirty talk and threats.

Such a disappointing HEA. I felt that MMC had strong feelings for FMC (somehow) and FMC was giving him breadcrumbs. It was insulting how little respect she gave him and how little she cared for his feelings. Her worries were always about him hurting her and what would happen to her if they ended things, not ever about her potentially hurting him or his kid. I won't even mention the disaster that was their meet cute.

Overall I can't really recommend this one unless you love a bratty, wishy washy FMC who doesn't submit to her feelings until the very end (and yet still is hesitant/holding back).

I loved this story. I loved the banter between the MCs. I loved Adam as a dad. I loved the little human. It was better than Olive/Jason's story. I think the ending was a bit much, but I guess most romance novels speed things along like that.

I liked the characters but didn't like the main conflict or the resolution or the epilogue. Why did they have to force the wedding? The conflict with Aiden was cute though.

4.5/5

Daddy? Sorry. Daddy?? Sorry daddy??? Sums it all up.

This was so much better than Jason Thorn?! For one, no silly pet names like “my little one” in this book. But more importantly, there was time taken to develop the relationship.
Lucy and Adam really spent time with each other, so the enemies-lovers trope played out beautifully and it was cute to see the moments where they started to fall for each other. Yay for first person dual POV!

Lucy is independent and strong willed and stubborn (but not to a point where she’s rude or unlikeable) and Adam …. I mean. Wow. I love how he didn’t play any games (even though the plot made it easy for him to), and he was protective and funny and sweet and just .. zaddy (cringed while typing but I can’t help it). And Aiden!!! The cutest little boy! The only little one I approve of!!

Am still obsessed with how steadfast and sure Adam was of Lucy, like once he made his mind up that Lucy was for him, he left no room for miscommunication. A MAN. WITH A PLAN!!! TO KEEP HIS GIRL!!!!

“I know how to take care of what is mine” I mean! Be still my heart.
Seems like Adams make the best book boyfriends.
