Discover what makes Lucy Gilmore an instant fan favorite with this unforgettably funny enemies-to-lovers romcom starring: a grumpy dog show judge a determined former beauty queen and a Golden Retriever more interested in stealing bacon than winning Best in Show. Ruby Taylor gave up pageant life the day she turned eighteen and figured she'd never look back. But when an old friend begs her to show beloved Golden Retriever Weezy at the upcoming Canine Classic, Ruby doggedly straps on her heels and gets to work. If only she knew exactly what the adorably lazy lump of a dog was getting her into. If there's one thing veterinarian Spencer Wilson knows in this world, it's dogs. Human beings are a different story. Especially gorgeous women clearly in way over their heads. As judge for the local dog show, Spencer advises Ruby to quit while she still can, but her old fervor for winning has returned—and she wants to show the stern, broody-eyed judge that she's more than just a pretty face. In the end, she'll show him who's best in show. "AS APPEALING AS A PUPPY."—Publishers Weekly STARRED for Puppy Christmas

I love me a grumpy love interest with a cheerful woman to help him get out of his ways. I Hate You More follows Ruby Taylor who is helping out of of her senior home patients win a dog show. She meets the owner of the show and judge, Spencer Wilson, who is grumpy and judges her overweight golden retriever as soon as he seems him.
Ruby is determined and full of confidence. I really enjoyed that about her character. Reading how determined she was to win best in show and train Weezy to the best of her abilities even though he wouldn't listen to her was funny. I could invision Weezy ignoring her, falling asleep and running away any chance he got.
Spencer was a ruler maker, strict and grumpy judge that you could see had a heart of gold underneath it all. I enjoyed reading in his POV with how conflicted he was and how Ruby made him react.
Overall, I enjoyed the story but I felt a bit disconnected between the two love interests. I knew they were attracted to each other but it felt like a lot talking about feelings instead of showing the chemistry between them. I give this book a 3.5/5 stars!
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
