The Love Haters by Katherine Center

This book was sent to Traveling With T for review consideration.

The Love Haters

Summary: It’s a thin line between love and love-hating.

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.

The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim—but fakes it that she can.

Plus: Cole is Hutch’s brother. And they don’t get along. Next stop paradise!

But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good looking man she has ever seen . . . but also a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two.

Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I absolutely love a Katherine Center book. Her main characters are so wonderful, her covers are so fun, and they (the book!) makes me FEEL.

I met her in Oxford, MS at a signing and she was telling us a little bit about The Love Haters and I could not wait to read it! And oh, her descriptions! (Fans myself when she talked about her time with Coast Guards!)

What I liked:

This cover! Naturally!

Katie and Hutch. The attraction is off the chart. But also just Katie. She grows, she learns, she stumbles, she falls, and the most important thing is that she learns to love herself. Now, whether she gets the hunky Coast Guard is just cherry on the sundae in my book.

The setting (I adore Key West!!!!)

Bottom line: I loved it. All the stars. No notes.
