More Than Hate You

Written by Shayla Black

Narrated by Teddy Hamilton

I seduced my rival for a deal. Now I'll do anything to claim her for good.

I'm Sebastian Shaw-CFO, pragmatist, and moneymaker. I've mismanaged love in the past, but when it comes to business, I'm pure shark, able to cut down any threat to my success . . . except Sloan O'Neill. We're vying for the same major client, so I do what any self-respecting cutthroat does to gain the upperhand: spy on the ball-busting piece of work. She may be gorgeous and unnervingly clever, but I have skills. My gutsy hourglass-shaped roadblock doesn't stand a chance.

Until I realize I'm falling for her.

Suddenly, everything from my objectives to my morals is cloudy. Stay loyal to my best friend and boss to win this critical client at any cost . . . or give my heart another chance? But the more time I spend with my redheaded adversary, the more I realize she's not just ambitious but kind, vulnerable . . . and perfect for me. Sloan has no idea how far I'll go to make her mine-but she's about to find out.

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for More Than Hate You

[Rachel, Reading Shamelessly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Omg I loved every minute of this book. The sass from Sloan! She gives everything right back to Sebastian. This book is still based in the Reed family universe, and even though Sebastian isn’t an actual Reed, all our favourites grace us with an appearance. He’s basically extended family.

Sebastian works for Evan with his tech company. When they find out their biggest competitor is going for the same contract as them, Sebastian’s job is to find a way to take out the competition. This task is proven even harder when the current CEO of the company doesn’t care about it at all and brushes Sebastian off. He then has to go on a hunt for someone who will help him. This is how he meets Sloan. Sloan is one of the best in the company and clearly is not being given the recognition she deserves. Sebastian feels a little bad being devious without her knowing, but he has a job to do. The more he tries to find out about the competition to take them out, the more he learns of Sloan herself and can’t help harbour feelings for this woman he’s never even met.

As Sebastian gets deeper with his infiltration, he realizes that he wants more than just success with his job. He wants a loan for himself as well. Little does he know things will not be going as he planned and he will hit roadblocks every step of the way. Can he navigate both keeping his job commitments and trying to win over the first girl who pushes him and challenges him?

This one was full of great banter between these characters. There are great spicy scenes, and the plot twists that come out of nowhere really shocked and excited me.
This might be one of the first books that I would agree could be read as a standalone without reading the rest of the series, however, this series is so good why would you want to skip any books? ?
