Love the One You Hate by R.S. Grey




I really enjoyed this steamy rags to riches romance. The main character, Maren, wrestles with her past in foster care and must pull herself out of a hole created by a decision made in a single night. While she feels her new life at Rosethorn, courtesy of benefactor Cornelia is too good to be true, she is terrified of losing it. When Cordelia’s protective nephew, Nicholas, shows up the sparks between him and Maren are undeniable.

Maren’s back story felt real and poignant and her relationship with stranger turned doting benefactor, Cornelia, was touching. However, I found myself questioning the portrayal of Newport wealth, thinking at times this story could have been set in 17th century England. The steamy scenes between Maren and Nicholas made up for any setting confusion entirely. Great read!
