Between Love and Loathing

Dom and Clara's Story

Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy...as long as I don't fall in love with him.

Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn’t know a thing about baking. He doesn’t even like sugar.

So when my late stepfather’s will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he’d painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it’s no surprise he balks. Yet, my jaw drops when the will further requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery’s design. His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe.

But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can’t refuse. He’ll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing:

Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we’re in love. Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two. Maybe share a kiss. Nothing extreme. Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he’s using it on me.

This should be a cakewalk. Except there’s a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I’ve made the colossal mistake of blurring it.

Sweet as cupcakes

Honestly I don’t think I would like this book that’s why I put it off for so long but it was really good…well written loved how the fmc grew a backbone and loved how mmc pushed her to do what she wants

the voices of the readers

I wish the man wouldn't make the woman voice and vice versa. no excitement either

Perfect duo

This story was everything I could have asked for and the narrators made this story everything. Between the chemistry and banter with the characters, I felt like I was right there with them the whole time

Great story

Loved the characters and the depth the author brought into them, slowing unraveling their back stories bleeding it into the future.
