Love to Hate You: A small town, enemies to lovers romantic comedy perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage (The One) Kindle Edition

by Camilla Isley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 711 ratings

'It is a romcom full of wit, charm, sexual chemistry and brains' Laura Carter

Goodbye New York! Hello… Cowboy?

If Samantha’s Baker’s life were as simple as one of the movies she produces, when she – a latte-loving city girl - gets banished to the country and fights with the local hunk cowboy soon afterwards they’d fall in love. But everyone knows the movies aren’t real life! (And just FYI, Mr Cowboy, it’s not gonna happen!)

Travis Hunt knows what it’s like to miss the city. He’s given up everything to take over the family ranch and become mayor of Emerald Creek. He has responsibilities. But how does he convince a gorgeous, hot-shot executive like Samantha to swap her stilettos for cowboy boots and her Friday night cocktails for country dance competitions? Small town life just can’t compete with all the hustle and bustle of New York City.  

But what if it’s not where you are that you call home… What if it’s who you find while you’re there? 

An opposites attract, enemies-to-lovers rom-com perfect for fans of Sarah Adams and Mhairi McFarlane

Such a great read! I devoured it in one day!
Just finished “Love to Hate You” by Camilla Isley and it was so good! The female lead is Samantha Baker, strong, successful Movie Producer working and living in NYC gets called into her bosses office and told she needs to pack up and move to a small town in Indiana for the foreseeable future as the movie is off the rails and she needs to get it back on track. She meets Travis Hunt on her way to the AirBnb she’ll call home and she realizes how very much she misses NYC and wants to get this movie back on track quickly. Travis Hunt turns out to be the Mayor and the main reason for the delay. A simmering sexual attraction begins between these two but they focus on their love/hate bantering. From here the story goes on some unexpected twists and turns and Samantha is in for the ride of her life! Do they give in to the sexual attraction? Can they get past the love/hate banter to see what might be? No spoilers here but it’s a great read! Love, love, loved it!

    When I first started this book and actually well into about the first half, I thought it was silly and I almost quit reading. I am glad I kept reading though because I ended up really enjoying the story. It’s a cute story and has a well thought out and happy ending.

    When Samantha Baker's boss orders her to a rustic small town in Indiana, the New Yorker is horrified. But there's a movie to be made, it's behind schedule, and Sam is just the person to get things done. Part of the reason for the delays is the town's mayor, who is a wealthy and successful New York lawyer who returned home to help his widowed mother run her ranch. And become the mayor. Travis extorts Sam's film-making company for town improvements in order to stop log-jamming the necessary permits, but it's all in good fun. As the attraction turns into something more, Sam comes to love the town and its people, but her job is in New York, so it's an impossible situation.

    Other readers have said the book wraps up too fast, but I think that was fine. I do think Travis could have had more depth, like a flaw that would make him more realistic.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cute Hallmark like vibes
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2023
    My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Summary: The last thing Samantha Baker needs is to be shipped off from New York to middle of nowhere Indiana to figure out why their film is getting so delayed. She loves everything about New York, and what is there to Indiana anyway. Apparently, a cowboy mayor who is wickedly attractive who is determined to slow down production unless she plays ball. Liking him isn't a good idea, not when he's the reason her film is delayed and since she's determined to go back to New York as fast as she can.

    General Thoughts: Second Camilla Isley book I've read. I've really enjoyed both, but this one was super cute. This had major Hallmark vibes (big city girl goes to small town and is attracted to the cowboy mayor.) It's a simple, predictable plot, but it's well done. I liked the characters of Travis and Samantha. They weren't extremely fleshed out with a ton of backstory or growth, but they weren't flat either and had interesting banter. It was a cute, fun, lighthearted romance that is bingeable in one sitting. If you're looking for an intense, thought-provoking read, this is not that. If you're looking for a Hallmark-like book or 2000's romcom, this one has you covered. The plot is quite simple, but it's a cute, fun read. I'm excited to read another one by this author soon. I enjoy sweet fade-to-black romances, and that's what this one is. I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks Netgalley.

    Steam Meter: This is a closed door, fade to black, but definitely some hints of steam.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Rom-Com
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024
    Love to Hate You is a re-titled Sweet Love and Country Roads by Camilla Isley and her new publisher. It is a funny enemies-to-lovers opposites-attract romance that could easily be made into a Hallmark movie. While Love to Hate You can be read as a stand-alone, it is the final book in the First Comes Love series.

    We were introduced to the heroine, movie producer Samantha Baker, in The Love Theorem. The story begins with Samantha Baker being summoned to the head of Denouement Studios’ office in New York City to be informed that she must travel to rural Indiana immediately because the movie Sweet Love and Country Roads, of which she is the executive producer, is bleeding money. If she cannot get the movie completed within 3 months, the film will be axed and she will be unemployed.

    Samantha and her capable assistant, Celia, travel to Emerald Creek, Indiana, where Samantha is a fish-out-of-water. She meets a handsome rancher/cowboy when a cow blocks the road on the way to their bed-and-breakfast, Sagebrush Ranch. Travis, the cowboy, happens to be the single attorney son of the B&B owner, Willette Hunt. Willette is a Paula Deen-type hostess and radiates hospitality to Samantha and Celia. Samantha has hilarious encounters with various animals.

    On the movie set, Samantha discovers that filming delays are due to the Chief Location Manager’s inability to obtain permits from the Mayor’s office. Samantha fires him and visits the Mayor’s office herself. She discovers that Travis is actually Mayor Theodor Abraham Hunt. He extorts promises from her to make costly repairs to the filming locations in exchange for the signed permits. Samantha convinces Lionel, the film’s director, to film scenes out of sequence to allow them time to make the necessary repairs. She engages Lana, the heroine from The Love Theorem, to coordinate volunteer efforts to clean up the city’s beaches. Lana’s husband, Christian Slade, is the lead actor in the movie Sweet Love and Country Roads.

    Camilla Isley consistently writes smart take-charge heroines who are very likeable, including Samantha Baker. There are plenty of comedic moments, and the reader gets a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking. There are love scenes, but there’s no graphic sex. I love this story and its bonus epilogue. Readers will enjoy Love to Hate You more if they have previously read The Love Theorem, but it’s not necessary to follow the story. Definitely highly recommended!

    I received an advance review copy (ARC) from NetGalley and Boldwood Books for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
