To Have and Hate
Love in London
By: Donna Alam
Narrated by: Shane East, Mackenzie Cartwright

Olivia and Bennett. What a couple! I was enamored from the start, laughing out loud and loving the banter. Olivia is on a mission to get an investor for her app, Evolve. Literally falling at the feet of Bennett and finding herself in several other chance meetings with their obvious chemistry has the wealthy investor proposing marriage for six months, guaranteeing her the funds to keep her company in the black. But will it last that long? Spicy, funny, playful and not so playful exchanges and all-around feel-good quality of this book had me completely engaged and rooting for them! Olivia is smart, but when it comes to her heart, she just doesn't know how to guard it. Bennett is completely frustrating, which is what makes him so endearing! And the variety of secondary characters added depth and character to the book. Donna Alam has a winner on her hands!

Making me laugh out loud, Shane East and Mackenzie Cartwright use their versatility and give us a fabulous romantic comedy. East always delivers a great performance, and he becomes Bennett. A little arrogant and a little vulnerable, he is perfect. Cartwright has Olivia's sound exactly as I imagine her. She is smart, wears her heart on her sleeve and her comedic timing is spot on! Loved this listen!
