Dive into this sizzling romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Melissa Schroeder.He is absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn’t fantasize about. Other than being my boss, he’s too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that, I shouldn’t think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he … would sound when he whispered my name in the dark.
But I can resist him. Mainly because he can’t stand me, and he’s the kind of boss who makes me think about murder on a daily basis. That’s until he shows me his softer side and ignoring my need for him becomes impossible.
No, softer side or not, I have to resist the lure of Grady Hawthorne because if I don’t, I’m pretty sure I won’t survive the fall.
Warning: This book includes a smack-talking executive assistant, a workaholic boss who has the most amazing…mouth, irritating siblings, a drunken night that ends in jail, and a happily ever after that will make you sigh. Author assumes no responsibility for overheated readers.
This is a standalone romantic comedy with no cheating and an HEA.

3.5 stars I was looking forward to the new series with characters that I met in the Camos and Cupcake series which I adored by the way. I thought Grady and Syd’s story would be interesting but it was average. There wasn’t anything that grabbed my attention and kept me interested but I did like Carter. I hope he’s the next book. I have read several of Melissa’s books and I have really enjoyed them. Hopefully I will connect with the next book in this series. Until next time y’all happy reading.

This is the 1st in a new series and what an amazing beginning Grady and Sydney’s story is! Grady is the CEO, and he is a demanding boss and workaholic, while Syd is sassy and strong, and she is his very organised admin assistant. The sparks fly between these two as they irritate each other, as they know how to push each other’s buttons, and the chemistry between them is explosive and undeniable. This is a well written story which is sweet, fun, humorous, entertaining, and with twists, witty banter, family, friendships, a tad angst, and love, which all leads to a steamy and all-consuming tale. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
This is a lovely, quite gentle, romantic comedy that has two alpha personalities who butt heads delightfully while stumbling their way to their HEA. Both Syd and Grady are smart and driven, though Grady is the grumpy boss and Syd the clever beauty he just won’t admit to wanting! With his fabulous tribe of brothers and the counter balance of Travis and Nancy, Grady has his work cut out to remain aloof. Just not going to happen!
This has been an absolute pleasure to read and I would be happy to spend more time in the company of this ensemble of characters. Lovely!
4.5 Stars for Hate to Love You (The Fillmores #1)
Melissa Schroeder is a fairly new author to me but with each book I pick up I’m left wondering why that is, why haven’t I read more from this very talented author well as soon as time permits that’s going to because I will be going through her previous works and reading what I can.
Book one in The Fillmore Series and this is Grady Hawthorn and Sydney Fillmore’s story. It’s one of those books that’s draws you in and doesn’t let you go until you have read the final line, the characters are easy to love and their enemies to lovers romance is one heck of a ride.
Syd has worked for Grady for a while and she takes a lot of enjoyment in putting him in his place, she enjoys the push and pull of their working relationship but is pretty obvious this is a love, hate relationship and you know what they say about the fine line between love and hate so will Syd get her workaholic boss to open up and have some fun……
This was an entertaining read that left me excited for more from the Fillmores, I loved Syd and it was fun watching her try to get her boss to relax and have some fun.
5star review Hate To Love You (The Fillmores #1) by Melissa Schroeder
This is the first book in The Fillmore series and is Grady Hawthorne and Sydney Fillmore’s story which was fun and entertaining. It is well written with characters who you cannot help but fall for and who are easy to relate too.
Sydney has been working for Grady for some time and she enjoys “poking the bear”. For Grady, Syd is a fabulous assistance and he becomes uneasy as he starts to develop feelings for her that he should not have since he is her boss. This is a work place, enemies to lovers story that ticked the boxes for me.
It was fun to watch both Grady and Syd struggle with the attraction that sizzles between them, add in interfering family and friends and you know you are in for an entertaining read. There was witty banter, passion and miss communication a plenty in Hate To Love You and I enjoyed it all. I also enjoyed the relationships that both Grady and Syd had with their siblings.
This was a fun book that left me with a smile on my face.
I really enjoyed this book and will lookformore from this author. This one kept me interested from the start to the very end. There was bullying, lust, romance and passion you even laugh. I will have to start reading more now, once you start you have to keep going.

We first catch a glimpse of these two in the Camos and Cupcake series…at the bachelorette party…the one where Syd was “twerking”. Oh, and there may or not be a video of it going around in the book….think Elaine from Seinfeld…just sayin.
Syd works for Grady, and their sexual tension is crazy. I loved this quote from Syd about Grady, “He has one of those faces the camera loves and women like to sit on.” So damn funny. They finally give in and these two can’t get enough of each other, and they are hot af. Grady is a bit of a dirty talker, and by a bit I mean a lot.
Safe read, with a dirty talking headboard banging alpha and his little spitfire. These two were hot af with some headboard banging shenanigans. We get to read some fun secondary characters, Grady’s brothers…especially Carter and all of his orneriness. Epilogue and an hea.
Yay for Office Romance!
Who doesn’t want more of the Camo & Cupcake world.
If you love a fun and sexy office romance, you will definitely love the story of Sydney and Grady. They know the complications that can be caused by the office entanglements and that makes them think twice before they start something with each other.
Grady and Sydney work well together. While Grady is her boss, the two fit perfectly together! But like any work relationships, they disagree, and question how they can even tolerate the other.
This book is hot & steamy and lots of laughs. You will love the chemistry between the couple and you will enjoy the secondary character interactions… Another winner from Melissa Schroeder!
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!

Will one of her flying pens finally pierce his heart
Hate to Love You is another hit by Melissa Schroeder for me. This sexy, sweet and very funny, as in laugh out loud, story is wonderfully written. It carries the Camo’s and Cupcakes world on which is a lovely surprise. Sydney Fillmore and Grady Hawthorne are in a love/hate relationship. Well actually it is a boss / employee relationship in which they have so much attraction between them that they just don’t know how to funnel it and instead it comes out in the funniest ways, including more than a few flying objects. Their banter is a riot and really witty and smart. Sydney is definitely a feisty powder keg and if Grady decides to finally light that fuse it is going to set off their explosion which will be very satisfying for them both. But Grady is the CEO of Hawthorne Enterprises and has a stick line he will not cross so it is a “look but don’t touch” situation.
I hope that the author continues with these books and makes Hate to Love You the first in a new series which can be turned into a spin-off from Camo’s and Cupcakes. Everyone should read this book!!!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Hate to Love You is an office enemies to lovers romance focusing on Grady Hawthorne, workaholic CEO of Hawthorne Enterprises, and Sydney Fillmore, Grady’s PA and family friend. There is conflict and fun banter between these two characters due to their strong sexual attraction. I recommend this romantic comedy and these humorous and amazing characters!

Workaholic Grady and his intrepid assistant Sydney are made for each other, they just don’t know it yet. On the surface their personalities seem as different as chalk and cheese. However these two have developed a relationship that expands beyond boss and employee. Getting under each others skin, irritating and stimulating one another in equal measure. When the finally acknowledge their attraction the chemistry is off the charts. A fun and entertaining story. I hope to see Nancy and Travis get their own story.
Grady is CEO for Hawthorne Enterprises and secretly likes his assistant Sydney. Sydney puts up with a lot when its comes to her boss. When she goes to a bachelorette party he goes to the club to spy on her. They banter back and forth until she ends up throwing a pen at him. However when they go on a business trip and she’s sick with a migraine Grady is the one that takes care of her. will Grady loosen up and admit his feelings to Sydney? Can they be together?
This is a great story that had me laughing out loud at parts of it. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Great story, great characters, sexual tension and fun scenes. Sydney is beautiful smart and great at her job. She keeps everything and everyone in line as the executive assistant to the boss from hell. She has no problem putting him in his place. Grady is a workaholic trying to get his new network going. He is called a robot because he can be a little unfeeling and a bit of a jerk. There is intense dislike between the two but major respect. But is it dislike or attraction. It takes a while before these two get their heads on straight but it is fun reading about their journey.

So this was a free ARC copy from one of my favorite authors to read for, plus booksprout for my voluntary honest review of this read and I really enjoyed it! I always look forward to seeing more from this author in the future because I love reading her books! This one had a great storyline and great characters to read about, plus it’s sizzling hot.Once I started reading I just couldn’t stop, reading til I finished the book because I thought it was that great of a read! Enjoy Everyone. She should have nothing to do with him because he’s her boss but all she can think about is that he’s absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn’t fantasize about.Other than being my boss, he’s too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that , I shouldn’t still think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he whispered my name in the dark.
Mmm, can these to make a relationship work outside the office.Get the book and find out? ENJOY ITS SO WORTH IT

Sydney is a hoot! She has a sassy mouth on her and doesn’t resist any opportunity to get two points on the boss. Grady’s father hired her to be an executive assistant because he saw a lot of potential to be and asset. Somewhere along the way they start to get other feelings working. Because of their working relationship, they choose to keep quiet, although that doesn’t seem to be working. I like that the four brothers all have their own personalities and quirks but never fail to support each other or their parents. Nicely written and very enjoyable.
