In this book, a college professor and the woman hired to audit his class are deep in dislike until that dislike quickly turns to lust, and they also then realize they also happen to be spicy Shakespeare fanfiction pen pals.

This book is a dislike to lovers, and shows how the thin the line is between hate and lust. It's very spicy, and the sex scenes in this book are well written, and I enjoyed them more than the rest of the book.

I enjoyed the performance of both of the audio narrators of this book, and would definitely listen to both of them read other audiobooks in the future.

Overall, I thought this book was decent, but I don't see myself rushing to pick up another book by this author, or in this series.

This author is new to me, but I will be keeping an eye out for anything else they publish. I loved the story and the characters. The pacing of the story was great and the characters were relatable.

✨ALC REVIEW✨

He writes spicy Shakespearean fanfic. She’s his biggest fan—but neither of them knows it. In real life, they can’t stand each other. Micah’s a sharp-tongued auditor, and Aidan’s a broody lit professor, and their workplace rivalry is as heated as it gets. But online? They’re each other’s favorite anonymous escape.

This was my first read by Sarah Smith, and it definitely won’t be my last! I absolutely loved this audiobook. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in just a few hours—it was such a fun, feel-good listen. The story had everything I love: enemies-to-lovers tension, witty banter, and a unique twist with the spicy Shakespearean fanfic subplot.

The dual narration was fantastic—both narrators did a great job bringing all the characters to life and made the whole story even more engaging. And let’s talk about the spice… the steamy scenes were SO. SO. GOOD. The mouth on this hot nerd professor 😮‍💨🔥

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, flirty rom-com with heart, heat, and humor, I highly recommend this one! I already want to reread it and I’ll definitely need a book trophy for my shelves!

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Harlequin Audio for the gifted ALC! 🥰🫶🏼

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Oh boy. I just really thought this would be fun. It was just very basic. The enemies to lovers was been there done that. The hockey player turned Shakespeare prof felt very surface level. The sex scenes were hot but did nothing for me.

The writing was nice, though, and it was a quick read. Also his brother seems like he has potential 👀 Plus, the audiobook was well produced and I liked the narrators.

*Spoilers Below*

On the ending: If she doesn’t return the report…SOMEONE ELSE IS GONNA. Wouldn’t they prefer someone who has compassion (her) do the job rather than someone potentially worse? He got with her knowing her job and he was a big wimp about the whole thing. He was completely unreasonable and a whiny baby to his boss too idk like he was kinda of a child.

He doesn’t wanna lose his job so she’s gotta lose hers? Yep! The way it’s written, it feels like she’s now only dissatisfied with her job *because of* him which feels like a cop out. Also you’re telling me her parents gave her money to pay off her debt and now she can just quit her job with absolutely no prospects to speak of? Books don’t need to be relatable but damn if this isn’t a giant eye roll. Oof.

I was immediately drawn to this cover, the fact that the audiobook had his & her narrations, and that the premise involved a forbidden romance featuring enemies to lovers set in an academia environment with Shakespearean undertones.

However almost every single element except for the voice actors narration fell flat for me. I was prepared for open door spice given the synopsis but when every chapter is predominantly smut with little plot, I had a hard time looking past it. I wanted to love this book so much given the above expectations but I needed much more plot and emotional chemistry. The characters went from despising each other one second to literally smut & falling instantly in love the next second. I think of you enjoy your romances with more spice than plot then this would be a fun one for you. The other thing that made this a 2.5 versus a 3 was the ending where the MMC essentially forces the FMC to quite her job (she’s his English department’s auditor) if she wants to be with him and she does it! I prefer female empowerment on my FMC’s and this felt like a sad conclusion.
To end on a positive, I think the audiobook narrators did a great job.
Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for this #gifted ALC. (my rating is a 2.5 rounded up to 3 on here)

This was a spicy listen and I enjoyed it for the most part. I liked that it was a take on Shakespeare with a a professor of Shakespeare. I also like that we had a male romance writer perspective. It definitely felt instalusty but I felt they lacked chemsitry to go beyond the spice. I did enjoy the fan fic excerpts sprinkled throughout...definitely hot.

Narrators were great and kept me listening throughout!

It was enemies to lovers and that’s why I finished it. It was ok. The story was good I just didn’t really care about the characters. Nothing about them really made me think wow.

The narration for this book was well-done. There were a few instances where our female main character didn't sound like she had previously in the book, like her voice was a few octaves higher or something. I think both characters were pretty distinct from the other in terms of how they were voiced. As for the story itself, I don't see myself returning to it anytime soon. I felt like because I wasn't invested in the story between our two narrators, the narration felt drawn out to me. There were times where I felt like the story should've been cut shorter by 30 minutes or so. The narration made it easy to follow the story; it was just unfortunate that I didn't feel connected to the characters or their conflict.

I don’t think this is the book for me. I got the audiobook from NetGalley and something about the narrator and the story just didn’t mix well for me. I wasn’t sold on the story, I had to chug through this one sadly. Overall I think someone will like this but I wasn’t one of those people.

Okay imagine you’re an auditor by day and avid fanfic reader at night, and there’s this dude at work who you’re appraising that is just constantly nagging on you. So you read said fanfic to just…decompress. Then you and fanfic writer start messaging, and you’re like wow! Is this flirting? Or are we just really good friends? Turns out it is flirting, and you’re intrigued but you can’t stop thinking about guy from work, who both irritates and flusters (the good way) you. Then in a plot twist— that guy from work IS the fanfic writer. Boom. Worlds collide.
I really enjoyed the tension in this book and how you got to see two sides to the characters— the façade they put up at work, and then who they really are behind the screen of the internet. I thought it lost a bit of its steam once they were actually able to just be, but I think that’s just because I was enjoying the tension and banter too much lol

Thank you Harlequin Audio for the listen!

This was a fun steamy read! If you’re a fan of spicy Shakespearean fan fiction, enemies to lovers, flirty messages, intense arguments where there’s definitely some heat, super smutty talk during sex, a hot nerdy professor, and a buttoned up auditor, all set in a college- this book is calling your name!
**Thank you Netgally and the author, and her team for reaching out to me and offering me an opportunity to check this out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2! **

This was a really cute Much Ado retelling. I think they can be hard to find, but the dynamics built between the main characters really gave way to a fun and exciting read.

This book took the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, tossed in a blizzard, some Shakespearean fanfic, and way more spice than I was expecting (not complaining), and made it sing.
Micah is a sharp, no-nonsense auditor. Aidan is a protective lit professor and secret fanfic writer. Their constant clashing turns into tension of a very different kind when they realize they’ve been anonymously connecting through spicy Shakespearean fanfic.
The audiobook was a great listen. Cindy Kay captured Micah’s confidence and emotion perfectly. J.F. Harding brought the right mix of warmth and edge to Aidan’s voice.
A playful, nerdy, and unexpectedly steamy read with great narration.

⅘ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Much Ado About Hating You
Author: Sarah Echavarre Smith

Thank you so much Netgalley and Harlequin Audio for my audiobook copy. This was such a fun listen. I have to start by saying Cindy Kay is one of my favorite female narrators, so I was thrilled to hear her voice when I started. The story follows an English professor and a financial auditor who’s been assigned to review his department. He is convinced she is trying to get him fired, and Micah has no problem playing the villain. But at night, she escapes into reading and writing spicy Shakespearean fanfiction. When a snowstorm traps them on campus, Micah discovers that the professor she despises is actually the author of her favorite fanfic. What follows is a fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romance filled with heat, tension, and fun Shakespearean references. The enemies-to-lovers transition does happen very quickly, so keep that in mind. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

4.5/5 ⭐️ for the Audiobook version
Goodreads review posted on: 07/28/2025

Micah and Aiden’s story was full of encounters that were either full of bite, steam or a little of both😉 I loved the way this story played out with Micah being a Financial Auditor and Aidan being an English Professor who is essentially on the chopping block. The added pieces with the writing that both Aidan and Micah do was great and added an extra element of secrecy to the story that helped with the spice and character developments.

This was. 4.5/5 star read for me and I can’t wait to read more from Sarah Echavarre Smith!

Micah is an auditor that is brought on to look at an English and literature department at a university and make some cuts to their budget. This obviously isn't received well and she gets a less than friendly welcome, by one faculty member Aidan in particular. But the hate brings lust and they can't resist.

Super loving the fanfic appreciation story. Great spice between the characters and in their respective fanfic stories. The Shakespeare appreciation was also cool without it actually being a Shakespearean story. Didn't love the ending, it felt like a cop out. I get that audits sometimes mean people lose jobs but they're also useful to make sure that people are on track and there is an efficient use of resources. I can't believe that someone wouldn't understand the value when they've been doing that successfully for years. It just didn't feel like a very realistic conclusion, though I am glad she had the courage to follow her passion too.

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed the story by them. The chemistry between these characters was so fun to read and i really enjoyed the book so much. With how saturated the book world is, sometimes its hard to feel like you're having fun reading a book but this was so much fun to read and I would definitely read more by this author. Thank you for allowing me to read this

I must say, this is not the author for me. This is the second book of Sarah Echavarre Smith that I’ve read and the last one I read, I gave a 2/5 star review. This one is also a 2/5. Yes, the sex scenes are super spicy and fun to read (the only redeeming quality), but the rest of the book is a bore-fest. The dialogue is cringe-worthy and stale, the narration was terrible and the book was a slog to get through. Super cheesy moments ensue and it was just so unbearably boring to get through, but I did in order to give an honest review.
