Audiobook: I Hate You More⁣
Author: Lucy Gilmore⁣
Publication Date: November 2, 2021⁣

🅢🅤🅜🅜🅐🅡🅨:⁣
I Hate You More was told in the POV of both Ruby and Spencer. Ruby, a nursing assistant : ⁣
The story follows Ruby and Spencer. Ruby is a former pageant queen turned nursing assistant. At the request of one of the residents at the nursing home she works at, she enters the residences adorable and lazy dog, into a dog show. While registering the dog for the show, she meets Spencer, a grumpy dog show judge/veterinarian. Spencer attempts to deter her from entering the show. Ruby is fiercely competitive and made a promise, so she enters. Spencer has a twin brother named Caleb that is a dog trainer, so Ruby hires him to help train the dog. Caleb lives with Spencer, so of course, Ruby and Spencer ends up spending a lot of time together.⁣

This is such a sweet romance. The banter between Ruby and Spencer was amazing. I loved all the side characters and thought they all added to the story. The spicy book club at the nursing home brought a huge smile to my face. The spice between Spencer and Ruby was perfect. The 140 strokes scene was perfection. I’m looking forward to reading more books by Lucy Gilmore. I also thought the narrators did a wonderful job. ⁣

I received an ALC in exchange for an honest review. ⁣

I absolutely loved how we were introduced to Ruby, Spencer, and Caleb. It was the most interesting introduction I’ve heard in a while.

Ruby loves the people she takes care of at her job and is willing to go the extra mile for them. Which is how she ends up signing up a golden retriever to be a part of a dog show. Spencer is a judge at said dog show and these two do not hit it off at first. The tention between the two was perfect, add in Caleb, Spencer’s twin brother and it is perfection!

Do you think Ruby and the golden retriever win best in show? It is definitely an adventure to learn!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an advance copy of this audiobook. This is my honest voluntary review.

I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I got approved for the audiobook on NetGalley and started and finished it today. I am not too convinced by the main relationship in the books, it doesn't seem very believable and I was a little shocked when they first had a romantic/sexual encounter because it did not really feel like there was much building up to it in their relationship. However, I still throughly enjoyed it and would probably read more if this authors books in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advance copy of the audiobook of I Hate You More.
I’ll start by saying this book has my favorite trope.
The meet cute in this book is so great. (No Spoilers)
I loved Ruby and how stubborn she was she had such a good heart!
Spencer was great he’s what you want from a book boyfriend.
I started listening to the audiobook on my way to work and I couldn’t wait for a chance to get back to it.
Both Alex Knox, Macy Sterling are new to me. I hadn’t heard their narration before.
I’m happy to say they did an amazing job with their characters.

I’m glad I have a few Audible credits for this!

I actually really love this story. I don't think audiobooks are for me since I found the narration a little corny, but I did love Spencer and Ruby, as well as the aspect of pets within the story. The pacing was pretty nice and I thought Caleb's character was hilarious. Definitely no one's fault other than my own, but I would have loved to have this as an actual ebook, rather than an audiobook, since I found it harder to get through than if I were just reading it on my own.

I really enjoyed this book and thank god that I did because I have read some real flops in the last week. This was great! Super cute fun enemies to lovers romcom. There are cute dogs and wild old ladies. The spice was 🔥🔥. I was listening to this AT WORK. Good thing that my desk faces the wall because I was BLUSHING during the first spice scene lol. Totally would recommend reading the book or listening to the audiobook the narrators were good.
I Hate You More comes out in one week on 11/2! I think I might order a copy as a birthday present for myself. .

This was such a cute read! For fans of dogs, this will be a hit! The main character was my favorite.

Cute premise for a slow but steady rom com. The immaturity of the twins was annoying but the book was overall funny and had lots of dogs to love! I listened to the audio version and liked the narrators a lot, they helped make the story even better.

Super cute fun easy read! I would have bought this on my own. I love a quick easy read that’s fun! It involves dogs what could be better than that!

I Hate You More is a slow romance novel that has dogs and love. Who wouldn't like a book that has dogs in it?! The book was funny, sexy and filled with dogs. It was a very slow start and I almost stopped reading because it was, but it got juicer as the book went on. I listened to the audiobook version.

Ruby a former pageant girl, Spencer a veterinarian and Caleb a wanna be dog trainer for dog shows. Spencer and Caleb are twins who are complete opposites.

Ruby has a task of winning the West Coast Canine Classic dog show with her friends crazy stubborn dog Wheezy. The show is run by Spencer and with the help of Caleb she plans to win the show. And find love?

I wasn't sure how I felt about it in the first few chapters due to the slow start, but I quickly fell in love.

3-3.5*

Enjoyable audio. Nice romcom story.
Easy listen.

Synopsis:
"Ruby Taylor gave up pageant life the day she turned eighteen and figured she'd never look back. But when an old friend begs her to show beloved Golden Retriever Weezy at the upcoming Canine Classic, Ruby doggedly straps on her heels and gets to work."

Thank you netgalley and publisher for the e arc audio.
