The One I Hate had all the things I love—crackling tension, sizzling banter, and a second chance at something they never thought they wanted. Simon is a fabulous MMC—he’s got that fun, goofy, “I can fix anything” energy that is impossible not to love. He’s the life of the party, the guy everyone turns to, but he’s been secretly hung up on Charlie for 15 years—the one who walked away without a word. Chelle Sloan nailed the chemistry in this one. The back-and-forth between the leads had me grinning and rooting for them on every page.
