5.20.2025 - The Love Haters

The Love Haters by Katherine Center 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest rom-com by a favorite, Katherine Center, with the audiobook narrated by the wonderful Patti Murin.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Katie has had bad luck in the romance department and now she feels like her career is in trouble as well.  She either waits to get laid off as a video producer or take the task of profiling Hutch, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.  But, Katie can't swim, which is a necessity.  She figures she can fake it long enough.  But she may get called out on a few things along the way.

I am not always a huge romance-genre fan, but Katherine Center is always a must read for me.  While I may not have loved this one as much as her previous books, I still enjoyed the escape to sunny Key West.  Plus I learned some interesting things about our brave Coast Guard personnel!  There are some great side characters (mostly Rue, Hutch's aunt, as well as George Bailey, a Great Dane)., and I felt the story was charming and engaging.  I'm always a fan of Patti Murin's narration and I ended up mostly listening to this one.  Great book to stash in your beach bag for sure!
