Ri ♡ 's Reviews > To Hate Adam Connor

"I will be the one who speaks to your heart, Lucy Meyer, just like you seem to speak to mine."

Oh my god!! This book was absolute perfection. I enjoyed every second of it. It was lighthearted, heartwarming, sweet and wholesome. The banter and humour was fantastic. Some parts were really funny and some were heavy but it was really balanced throughout the whole story.
The starting was a bit slow for me but when Adam finally met Lucy things just keep on getting interesting and it was really captivating till the end. I loved the family dynamics of Lucy, Adam and Aiden.They were just so adorable 😭💞 and Adam "freaking hottest hollywood Daddy" Connor oh god, I was swooning over this man the whole time.
I love love love Olive and Lucy's friendship💗 they both are just so funny and always ready to help and comfort each other. It was everything.

Hell we even got so many scenes of Jason and Olive. Their sweet little moments were everything for me. They are still my favourite and I was giggling everytime they appear in this book 💗 I literally fell in love with Jason in his book and he is the sweetest person😭💗 I miss them so much already..

The "Enemies to Lovers" trope is one of my favourite ones and Ella wrote it so well in it with perfect amount of sexual tension and hate and spice and explosive chemistry ✨️ There was not a single moment in this book where I didn't feel connected to the characters, where I didn't felt their pain their hopes and their love. I also liked that there was this small twist in the end which I never saw coming.

Ella Maise has become one of my favourite author for writing swoon worthy, endearing and wholesome romance books and I'm gonna read everything she writes. I love how she kept things simple and sweet in this book with a pinch of reality about how some people feel about Love. It was just perfect. And yessss she writes the hottest yet the sweetest man.

Lucy Meyer
She is independent, hilarious, strong and comforting. I loved reading her chaotic thoughts as she is the funniest but also so relatable. She has a skepticism about love and romance but I am so happy that she found Adam. She always knows what she wants and never let anyone walk over her. I liked how she made Aiden feel loved and comforted. It was so beautiful. I felt so connected with her character.

"I never wished for a prince to save me, because I can save myself, thank you very much... but I'm wishing for it now... I hope -and I can hope really hard- that your kiss will break the curse. I hope it's you, Adam. I hope you're the hero of my story, because I deserve to be loved, goddamnit. I deserve to have you to myself. I deserve to love you."

Adam Connor
This man is perfect and absolutely delicious😩 ask lucy if you have any doubts...
He is grumpy but also fucking sweet Aiden and Lucy. The things he did for Aiden were so heartwarming. He slowly crept his way into Lucy's heart and it was beautiful watching them slowly falling in love. He never let her doubt anything about his feelings for her. He treated her the best perfect way. He is so special and lovable.

"My nights and days and everything in between would be filled with this woman. That I wouldn’t let her go. I’d be her home. I’d give her a family. I’d be her family. Her heart."

The ending was what I needed and Lucy never was cursed. she just needed to believe in love a little and Adam gave her everything she deserved. They had a wedding and now Lucy has her own family. A beautiful one with Adam and her two little boys 💗💗 I love them with all of my heart.

➸ "You have to be willing to let love into your life, open that heavy door that leads the poor guy into the maze that is your heart, so to speak. That’s the tricky part, isn’t it?
