When a man who has everything & will do anything—including pole dancing—to redeem himself to the feisty woman who couldn’t care less about power or money.

Clover Callahan has my client’s money and I’m not going to stand for it.

I’m taking her down, and if I play my cards right, she won’t even see me coming.

Everything’s going exactly to plan…

Until an elevator malfunction has us trapped for an entire night. Alone.

I mean, she’s hot. I’m hot.

What did you expect was going to happen?

Yeah. It did. And it was spectacular.

I can admit, I was wrong about Clover—she’s all I think about.

Unfortunately, after what I did, she hates me and everything I stand for.

But I’m no quitter…I’ll wear her down.

With a proposition even she won’t refuse:

One night.

One date.

Don’t be late!!

From the Author

When I was finishing up my Less Than Zero series, I decided that there are so many fun "side" characters throughout, why not choose a few and share their stories. When I came up with the name "Clover Callahan" as the actress in Ronni's series, I knew without a shadow of doubt that she'd be my gal.

I'm a huge reality TV fan. I live for a reality TV moment. Over the past couple years, two things happened that I knew I had to incorporate into Clover's story. First, Erika Jayne, the RHOBH "pop star," whose music career was funded with the money her husband stole from his clients. You can't make that shit up.

Second...The Scandoval! I've been obsessed. I subscribe to every podcast, wait with bated breath for every episode, read about it. I realize this is a sickness, but I can't help myself. I thought, why not have Clover's husband cheat with her BFF?

Anyway, you see my little references throughout.

Also, FYI, for those who are wondering the origin of the name, "Joar," it's an ancient Nordic name which technically means "one with the horse" - or, "horse." Fitting, considering Mr. Jacoby is hung like one...

I hope you love The Hate Date!

Next up is: The Flirt Alert

If you're looking for more books by me, I recommend my series, Less Than Zero, which follows four devastatingly sexy rockstars and the women who bring them to their knees. I promise, even if you're not a rockstar romance person, you'll fall in love with them as they navigate their HEA's.

Start with Endless.

Until next time,
Love, Kaylene

This was a perfectly predictable read that was both enjoyable as well as a good book hangover cure for this reader. The characters were ok, the plot was fun, it was predictable, but it was a good read. The author writes a story that keeps the reader entertained, interested and wanting to keep going to see how the story continues/ends. A good read and I will read more by this author in the future.

Wow! Another Absolute Winner from Kaylene Winter.

This is the first book from Kaylene Winters that isn’t a LTZ (Less Than Zero) book. It has one of the wives from LTZ and her husband makes a brief appearance but this is all Clover and Joar.

Clover has been at the top and gave it all up for her older husband, Harrison. Gave up her acting career and her brief popstar career. All for Harrison. When Harrison’s mistress, and Clover’s best friend, sends her a video of her with him, all bets are off. She’s done with both of them.

She packs her things and takes half of their joint account with her, she waits for him and lets him know they are done. She later learns that he has been involved in shady deals that bilked hundreds of clients and his company of millions of dollars, all without her knowledge.

When her agent calls and tells her that Veronica Miller has reached out and wants to speak to her, Clover is thrilled. It’s been eight months since she left her cheating ex. This is a great opportunity and a new show that is right down her alley. A gorgeous woman leaving her cheating ex and deciding to date men who are the exact opposite of what she’s been originally been drawn to and like.

Feeling this is the start of a new phase of her life, she accepts and takes the role. And in the meantime, she decides perhaps she needs to follow suit in her real life. Meaning no wealthy businessmen in thousand dollar suits. Men who are the exact opposite.

Enter Joar Jacoby, a man who went to school with the now disgraced Harrison. Joar is taking over this company and taking it away from his nemesis. Harrison declares he will never allow it to happen but none the less, is led away.

Joar looks at all the finances and sees that Harrison’s ex, Clover, took off with lots of money, jewelry and has the house. He is certain that she was his accomplice and he is going to make sure he will take her down as well.

Having her investigated and followed by a private investigator, he is determined to take her down for being in cahoots with her shady ex. He’s sure she knew about it, divorcing him just before he went down? Too coincidental.

He travels to where the show is being taped and is dressed down, not in his thousand dollar suit but a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. When he gets stuck in an elevator with her, he realizes just how much she is his type. The elevator is going to be stuck for at least eight hours. Clover starts to lose it and he loses his nerve to call her out. No, the electricity between the two of them is too much. Sexy times ensue.

He never tells her who he is and now he’s wondering if she truly did know anything about it. When she discovers who he is, all bets are off and she refuses to see him or return any calls.

Will Joar be able to convince Clover to give him another shot? Will the chemistry that ignites between the two of them cause another hot, steamy, sexy session? Well, to keep you invested, yes. And hence the "Hate Date" is created. It gives me another shot to have a date with Clover. Sexy and funny, you will love these characters.

Kaylene Winter writes a story that draws you in and keeps you invested in her characters. This story is full of steamy sex scenes that will make your toes curl and keep you wanting more.

A must read for fans of sexy romances with emotions that will have you on a roller coaster.

LOVED this book so much I had to read it again.

Well done, Kaylene!

Clover left her cheating ex-husband, and she made some rules for herself, not to date anyone that wealthy and powerful, and to start her acting career again. She didn’t expect to have hot elevator s3x, the best of her life. Then she finds out exactly who he is.
Joar went to school with Clover’s ex Harrison and is taking over his company, but he finds out more than he thought and can’t help but think that his ex-wife was involved, and the split was just a cover. That is until she meets him and realises that he had it all wrong. When Clover finds out who he is her reaction isn’t one that he expects, and he know that to keep her he’s going to have to do something big.
Something big involves that hate dates, things that he normally wouldn’t do and giving her the choice of them, he just wants a date to convince her that he’s not like the stereotypes that she thinks he is.

I absolutely loved Kaylene Winter's debut Less Than Zero series. I couldn't wait for her next books. I'm so excited for more from her. She wrote another steamy, emotionally charged, riveting romance. Ronnie, Conner, and Kris from FEARLESS made appearances that made this world feel familiar. Did I mention it's steamy? :) Loved the storyline and characters. A beautiful standalone that has left me looking forward to more.

Overall, this was a steamy read. At times the characters drove me insane with their back and forth on decisions, but I was happy to see the compromises between them develop. I could understand her issues with trusting men who were like the ones in her past, but loved to see her heal and overcome. I loved how he went after what he wanted and proved time and again he wasn't exactly like the others. Good read!
