Books Like the Hating Game

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

The Unhoneymooners begins with the wedding, which is unusual for romance novels.

Everything goes nicely during Ami and Dane’s wedding up until the buffet meal.

The bride and her getting-ready crew suddenly become severely ill, as does the rest of the room. It’s not attractive.

It turns out that the buffet’s seafood was subpar, and the vast bulk of the bridal party is currently ill.

The bride and groom can’t travel on their non-refundable honeymoon, so they demand that their siblings go instead.

Given that Ami and her sister Olive are twins, pretending to be the newlyweds shouldn’t be too difficult for the couple to pull off.

Although there isn’t nearly the same level of energy between the characters.

The Hating Game and most of their initial attraction is physical, the relationship eventually develops into a truly charming romance with highs and lows.

I’d heartily suggest this book if you’re seeking enemies to lovers’ stories since it was amusing, sexual, and nice overall.

This novel is filled with both tender and adorable passages as well as many sensual ones. The ideal contemporary romance to read quickly, it’s witty and sensual.

For a relaxing beach day or when you just want to lose yourself in someone else’s romance, this is a really short and simple read.

This one loses the “enemy” component really early, but it was still good.
