Falling Out of Hate with You by Lauren Rowe (The Hate-Love Duet #1)
This was yet another amazing book by Lauren Rowe! I haven’t read her entire backlist, but this felt like the most angsty book I’ve read by her. It was amazing! The tension between Adrian and Leila was off the charts. I cannot wait to see where it goes in the next book.
Adrian Savage is the lead singer of a band named Fugitive Summer. Laila is also signed to their record label, so she gets put on their upcoming tour as their opener.
Adrian Savage and Leila are both attracted to each other from the moment they lock eyes at one of Reed Rivers’ parties. Savage misinterprets a hug that she gives one of his band members, and scowls at her. This results in them sending each other glares the rest of the night. While this miscommunication was an accident, there is also some information that Laila shares later on in the story that is a lie. All of these things keep Savage from pursuing her, even though he desperately wants to. I loved the frenemies relationship between these two, and their hilarious banter.
I cannot wait for the second book in this duet. This ends with the perfect set up to jump right into the next book. I cannot wait to see what happens to this couple, and how their relationship grows.
5 stars
