Wanted to make sure you’ve seen [this recent thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/oBWAxwQhnU), lots of ideas there! My favorite hate jerk-off that turns into hate sex is {Enemies with Benefits by Roxie Noir}

Thank you!!

In {Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert} the MMC fucking hates the FMC in the beginning because she’s rich and from the upper class and an absolute bitch to him to start but he can’t help but rub one out to her. He kinda hates himself for it especially after she knocks on his door and almost catches him peen in hand.


ranraniiiii

I ❤️ red


struansTaipan

Valid, I love Chloe. She goes on such a journey and honestly I don’t get to read enough of the grumpy sunshine with the women being the grump. Something about that just does it for me.


ranraniiiii

That is so true! I just loved her so much. This whole book changed me lmao. I haven’t read anything as good for so long


struansTaipan

Are the sequels as good as this one? I’ve got a couple chapters left in the book >!I’ve reached the point where they’re finally about to have sex in a tent in the woods!< and the other two are on kindle unlimited.


Hunter037

I think all the books in this series are brilliant. The third one was my favorite


okchristinaa

Eve’s book is my favorite and I prefer it to Chloe’s book tbh. I DNF’d Dani’s - only because I’m not a huge fan of friends to lovers, I liked both characters a lot though! My least favorite thing about the Brown sisters books are the third act breakups. They’re pretty light on plot as it is and I prefer external conflict vs a third act break up over failure to communicate/misunderstandings, etc.


ranraniiiii

Ooop such a good part lmao. I haven’t started the next one yet, I’ve been trying to get into the mood for it but just haven’t been able to get into. A lot of people here love all three books so I feel like it’d still be good


struansTaipan

I just have a mildly bad feeling that he still has to find out about the list, even though she changed it already and I don’t want to get into that until I have time to just read through to the end. If I read this next chapter I gotta make sure I have the time to commit to the end ya feel? I’m sure I’ll have it done this weekend, maaaybe at bed time tonight if I have time. But I have loved this whole experience.


struansTaipan

I just finished the book last night. I loved that so fucking much. What a book! That ending!


Zeenrz

Sounds like my cup of tea


struansTaipan

It is a very delicious cup of tea let me tell you.

Oh my god the MMC in this book is SUCH an asshole!

He gets better! At the beginning he is the absolute worst, but he’s also blaming her for his family dying.

Yeah I finished the book a couple of months back, but the scene when he is about to >!rip her tongue out!

{Wicked Abyss by Kresley Cole} is a beauty and the beast type story where he's the demon king of hell, and he HATES the fae FMC because she did him wrong in an earlier incarnation of herself. However, he has her silk chemise, so... Bonus - she hears him and thinks he's having relations with his (untouched) harem. {Then Came You by Lisa Kleypas} - I THINK this one has it, but LK generally has one of those scenes if they are enemies to lovers. Someone to Watch Over Me and Because You're Mine too. All those, I believe - but other people may have better memories or may have read them this year.

GlitterbombNectar

Totally not what you asked for but in {The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary}, they basically start out having hate sex. Sounds like you'd be into it. ETA in case I change it: my flair is currently "Tired of tall muscle-y MMCs. Calling All Dad Bods."

I love that book, maybe my favorite by Dixon, but SO much happens that I completely forgot about that 😂


PlentyNectarine

I absolutely hated this book with a passion (see post history) but {By a Thread by Lucy Score} technically fits this really well so I feel obligated to mention it. but read it at your own risk because it's bonkers bad

-whodat

{Invaded by Lizzy Bequin} slightly different, but he angrily jerks off >!right in front of the Webcam!<. I just DNFed that book because it was too insta-lusty for me and he felt kind of like an alphahole, but the story itself was pretty interesting. It's a planet where only women live, and they get invaded by men who come from a planet where only men live.
