What to expect

I didn’t plan on him … or for him.

I didn’t plan on anything that had to do with Cal Donovan from Boston.

Meeting him was a complete and utter surprise, taking me completely off guard. I met new people every single day in my line of work, and none of them affected me. Isn’t that just the way of things? You could meet a thousand people and they’d all mean nothing to you, but then you’d meet that one and they suddenly meant everything.

I was a self-professed workaholic. When did making yourself your number one priority become such a horrible thing? I wasn’t entirely sure, but I learned fairly quickly after my last breakup that men don’t like being second on a woman’s priority list. And they seemed to be intimidated by a motivated female, calling me things like hard to handle, challenging, and difficult.

Being single seemed to work best for me, and I didn’t plan on changing my relationship status anytime soon.

But then I met Cal.

And he f***ing ruined everything.

Critics Review

“I LOVED this book! It’s a fresh take on a classic romance trope, with real and believable characters, that have endearing flaws and quirks making them so very relatable. I couldn’t put it down, and I bet you won’t be able to, either.”

Jasinda Wilder, New York Times bestselling author

Dear Heart, I Hate You breaks your heart then puts the pieces back together again, proving that although love can be beautiful, it’s also messy, frustrating, complicated…and wonderful. Best read of 2016.”

Jillian Dodd, USA Today bestselling author

“Jenn really upped her game with this one. I bloody loved it!”

Samantha Towle, New York Times bestselling author
