Publisher's summary

All's fair in love and work. The first stand-alone romance by New York Times best-selling author Christina Lauren (Beautiful Bastard) is a sexy, compulsively listenable romantic comedy that dives headlong into the thrill and doubt of modern love.

Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend's Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they're both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn't enough to squash the fire.

But when their two agencies merge - causing the pair to vie for the same position - all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both 30-something professionals - so why can't they act like it?

Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human? Whether these two Hollywood love/hatebirds get the storybook Hollywood ending or just a dramedy of epic proportions, you will get to enjoy Christina Lauren's heartfelt, raucous, and hilarious romance style at its finest.

The narration took me out of the story

I listened to the audiobook of Dating You/Hating You and although I thought the voice of Carter Aaron was fine, the voice of Evie was loud and grating and did not suit my vision of the character. It made it hard for me to enjoy parts of this book because her voice became a distraction.

This book takes place in LA, where two Hollywood agents are forced to compete for the same position after their firms merge. This, after meeting at a party where they hit it off right away. The tension is high. There are some kisses, there are some pranks.

However, the book at times focused more on the difficulties of a terrible boss and work environment than the romance, which I was absolutely fine with. Seeing a certain character get their comeuppance is a very satisfying part of the conclusion.

Like other Christina Lauren books, I feel transported to the city I am reading about. In Love and Other Words, I was taken to Napa and the Bay Area and in Roomies, it was the bustling energy of New York City’s theater scene. Here, I was taken to Los Angeles and into the world of high power agents in a cutthroat environment. It made for some high tension office dynamics and an ultimate workplace romance.

Sexy work romance w/ big humor

Sexy & fun work romance written w/ sharp humor & characters I cared about. I got increasingly invested in their LA entertainment industry work lives as the story progressed.

Evie was my favorite character she was strong and amazing and adapted to change without losing herself

Would you listen to another book narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux and Deacon Lee ?

I would their voices go well together

All is fair in Love and Work

Boring

I expected much more but was pretty disappointed. They could have done way more with their love story and at least ended it in a more exciting way.

Another great one!

Christina Lauren hits it out of the park again. Carter and Evie are absolutely great together. CL has officially become an auto-buy author for me. They can do no wrong.

Cute

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes I loved the narration

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It doesn't has to do with the narration

Which character – as performed by Shayna Thibodeaux and Deacon Lee – was your favorite?

I don't have a favorite in this story

Any additional comments?

I have read many books from this author and I loved them all ,so you can imagine how excited I was to read Dating you,Hating you!I also decide to buy the audio which was fantastic.

I really enjoy it,it was cute,sweet and fun read.My only complaint is that even though I liked the story it felt like something was missing,I didn't feel the spark and enthusiasm like I did with Christina's other books.The characters were lovable but I couldn't connect 100% and maybe this was another reason why this story wasn't a 5 stars for me.

The beginning was really good and I like the plot but you could say this was overall an ok story.If you are looking for a cute read this will be for you!
