Glove to Hate You by Marion De Ré: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

He’s her arrogant neighbour, her sworn enemy… and the one man she can’t get away from.

Archie Wilcott is my egotistical, insufferable neighbor—and I hate him.
He has zero concept of hygiene, thinks he’s royalty just because he can kick a football, and has far too many abs for one human being.
What? It’s not like I can avoid them—he practically lives half-naked in our residence’s gym and pool.
See why I’ll never give up my building?
Luckily, I’m escaping for a while. The hospital finally granted me enough days off for a humanitarian mission in Africa. Helping people is my jam, and it’s exactly what I need after yet another breakup I should have seen coming.
Bonus: it’s 6,400 kilometers from London—and from my infuriating neighbor.
Or so I thought.
Because the moment I set foot in the camp I’ll be calling home for the next few weeks, I’m greeted by a football—straight from the feet of my enemy.
What is Mr. Selfish doing in a rusty Ugandan camp?
And more importantly, why can’t I seem to escape him… no matter how far I run?

Glove to Hate You is a feel-good sports romance with spark—perfect for readers who love banter, sparks, and a hero who falls hard.
It’s the first book in the London Regents FC series, where tension is high on and off the pitch—and love is always part of the game. All the books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order.

Perfect for fans of:
-Enemies to Lovers
-Slow burn tension
-Sports romance (Football/Soccer)
-He Falls First
-Neighbors

Book Review

Once again, Marion De Ré has delivered a super cute romcom that had me both laughing out loud and swooning all throughout. From the moment we met Archie and Kat, I loved their dynamic. They may have been neighbors, but their feelings towards one another were anything but neighborly. They had all that banter and tension you expect from enemies to love... and honestly, you truly felt the annoyance between them. But when they find themselves on the same humanitarian mission in Uganda, they start to see a different side of each other... and oh, the chemistry! Archie is such a fun character, I loved his goofiness... and Kat was a great balance to him. It was a sweet romance that I couldn't help but enjoy. I also loved seeing more from the Regents (who we've met in some of Marion's previous books). Their text threads had me smiling and I find myself looking forward to getting to know them all better in this series. I cannot wait to see what will happen next. 

Glove to Hate You is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
