Summary

From USA Today and Amazon Charts best-selling author Meghan Quinn, and narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin, comes a new stand-alone age-gap rom-com featuring a new cast of characters that will immediately have you hooked. This steamy, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers small-town romance delivers the perfect happily ever after every romance lover craves.

Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia in my arms? It's called...revenge.

After failing my last semester of grad school, I decided to come back to my hometown and wallow in my boyfriend’s sympathetic arms. Instead, he proceeded to dump me...for being boring!

Now, I'm not typically a spiteful person, but there's only so much I can take. Hence why I’m holding the box of his most cherished possessions...stolen possessions no less!

The plan? To give the box back to its rightful owner and rat my ex out. How’s that for being boring?

But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, I’m pinned with the crime by the true owner of the box himself.

Hayes Farrow is grumpy, arrogant, and stupidly hot in a way that makes it hard to even look him in the eye. Not to mention he’s my brother’s nemesis so I fully intended to stay far far away from the gorgeous jerk.

But to add insult to the injury that has become my life as of late, Hayes gives me two options: Turn me into the police and press full charges...or work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I can't stand? Easy, I don't look good in orange.

But working for Hayes isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The way I hate him begins to turn into something else—something I never thought I'd feel. But the way my brother reacts when he finds out I’m working for his enemy? He’d prefer me in prison orange.

A Hilarious and Heartwarming Romance

This audiobook was an absolute delight! Hattie Rowley's relatable journey of returning to Almond Bay after a tough breakup and academic setback immediately drew me in. The story takes an exciting turn when she decides on revenge by taking her ex's boss's memorabilia. Enter Hayes Farrow, the hot music god, and boss, who complicates things further when he blackmails Hattie into working for him. Their chemistry is electric, and their enemies-to-lovers dynamic adds a captivating twist. Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin's narration was exceptional, with perfect delivery of emotions and humor in the duet format. This story offers a blend of romance, wit, and small-town charm, making it a top-notch audiobook that had me laughing, swooning, and fully engaged until the end!

All the feels

Oh my this is a pure lesson in edging, or not so pure, this book is a total tease.
The narration is sublime, with a special mention for Teddy’s inflection on the cursing *chef’s kiss*.
I particularly loved the unexpected consequences of bringing your long term enemy flowers, and the pigeon laying Easter eggs.
MQ fans will not be disappointed x

My Heart!

This is the Meghan book I needed in my life!

I am so over the top in love with this story and the amazing characters.

As always MQ takes you on a journey that will have you laughing, sobbing, and wanting to throw your kindle across the room all in the same chapter.

Hayes Darrow (My newest obsession) - A rockstar back home in his small town of Almond Bay who's struggling to find the love for music. With the label at his back, an assistant he thinks is stealing from him and piles of fan letters, Hayes is feeling the pressure.

Hattie Rowley, Younger sister to the Rowley Clan, is also a bit down on her luck, finding herself back home after personal struggles with school, and learning to cope with the grief of a lost family member, and trying to find her place in the new family dynamic.

Hattie happens to come across a box of stolen items that belong to none other than her brother's ex best friend, Her ex-boyfriend's boss - Hayes Farrow.

Now Hattie is being blackmailed into working for Hayes and that's where it all starts to heat up.

If you love sassy heroines, a quirky grandma, sexy rockstars and family just trying to mend the broken branches - this is the MQ book for you.

Fabulous listening experience

Hayes and Hattie's story was a rollercoaster ride of laughs, hurt, torturous slow-burn goodness, hilarious best-friend banter and quirky townsfolk.

I laughed, I sighed, I swooned, I cursed, I snorted... I REALLY enjoyed listening to this book. Sure, I thought that Hattie let Hayes off too easily near the end. But, after all they had been through, I could understand her reluctance to hold him off.

Teddy and Vanessa did a fabulous job of bringing the story to life. The emotion and passion they brought to their performance was magnificent and puts this book straight into my top listens of the year.

Age-Gap Romantic Comedy

This is a great age-gap romantic comedy, and small town romance. Hayes and Hattie's grumpy/sunshine romance is beautifully written, and engaging. Hattie is such a wonderful character, sunshine, smart, and determined. Hayes is grumpy, enigmatic, and handsome. They are perfect together. I liked the banter, the instant attraction, and the sizzling chemistry. The storyline has some emotional parts too. Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it.

You made me cry!

Gosh darn it Meghan! You made me cry!! I was expecting a spicy rom-com and you went and threw ALL the feels at us. Don’t worry ladies we get plenty of spice but Meghan edges us for a bit. Once they give in 🥵❤️‍🔥 But you know someone always has to mess up a good thing.

Hayes’ past comes back to haunt him & it just might be the final thing to break him😢 He’s lost so many people in his life & his trust is weary. But the person you’d least expect finally gets through to him 💕

Gah! I just want to give Hattie a hug! My girl deserves for all of her broken pieces to make a new beautiful future😍

The smut! The storyline!

The only thing I dislike is with audible not the book and it’s that the guy sounds so awkward during the sexual scenes.

Everything else I loved!

One of the best listens of the year!

This is an all immersive book! I could not stop listening because I just had to know what direction this book was going. Talk about emotional tugs at the heart right along with lots of smiles! Meghan Quinn has penned The Way I Hate Him and it's an amazing story! Maggie has come home after flunking out of college. Not wanting to tell her siblings who are also dealing with the death of her sister, she makes up a story and tries to get on with her life. Only things are never that easy. Her boyfriend dumps her, and now she has to move. Picking up her things and a box that belongs to her ex's boss,Hayes, she walks out and delivers them to him. Again, it's never that easy. Hayes is an enemy of her brother, and just her being there is a betrayal. Hayes blackmails her into working for him and now our story begins. This book has so many things going on, but the most important is incredible characters. Hayes appears to be confident and self assured, but he is no where near his persona. Maggie is a mess, from dealing with the death of her sister to trying to just find her place in life. There are a lot of secondary characters, but I have to say my favorite is Hayes's grandmother. When in doubt, the oldest really are the wisest! Grab this book if you want to laugh, if you enjoy an age gap, brother's ex-best friend, small town romance, or if you just want to feel. This book has it all and you too should jump in!

Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin enhance this story with their talents. Hamilton plays Hayes, and I love his conversational ease. The inflections he uses in his voice are a tell to Haye's emotions and it's easy to feel them. Edwin is the mess which is Maggie. She is such a great character, as she is smart and witty, but just is lost. Edwin captures her essence as she goes on her journey. These two are amazing together and made the time fly by.
