Something like Hate by Piper Rayne is now live!
I love him.
I loathe him.
It’s like plucking daisy petals in my head, but he’ll never know.
When Miles Cavanaugh, the best safety in the league, was traded to the Chicago Grizzlies football team last year, I could finally breathe. Temptation was miles away.
How naïve to think it would end there because when the opportunity to write for a national magazine based in Chicago lands in my lap months later, I can’t turn it down. Sure, it’s a big city, but the sexual energy feels like a beacon between us the minute my plane lands.
To make matters worse, I end up having to take over the job of reporting exclusively on the Chicago Grizzlies. Which means traveling with the team, interviewing players, and pretty much having an all-access pass to their lives during the season.
Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it’s a lie. We also know the rules are simple. For me, don’t sleep with the subject of your articles. For him, don’t sleep with the journalist who can make or break your career.
I thought straight-laced Miles Cavanaugh followed all the rules… oh how wrong I was.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Having read Piper Rayne’s Kingsman series, I was super excited to dive into Miles and Bryce’s story in the first book of the Grizzlies series, and Something Like Hate did not disappoint!
Something Like Hate checked off all the boxes for an enemies-to-lovers second-chance romance for me. The sexual tension between Miles and Bryce was insane, as was their chemistry. They were part of the same social circle back in San Francisco, where they had a one-night stand two years ago. Bryce ran out the next morning, and they have more or less avoided each other ever since, despite their many mutual friends. But now that Miles has been traded to the Grizzlies, and Bryce is the sports reporter assigned to cover the team, they have no choice but to confront their past and work together.
Over time, Bryce starts to let her walls down with Miles, and he jumps in when he sees the opening. She’s the commitaphobe here, thanks to her womanizing father, while Miles wants nothing more than to settle down like he’s seen his friends and teammates do. Will he be able to convince Bryce to really, truly give the connection between them a fair chance and not run out on him again the way she did that morning two years ago? Fraternizing between the reporters and the players is not allowed, which gives their romance a delicious forbidden twist.
Something Like Hate is the first book in the Chicago Grizzlies series, which is a spinoff of the Kingsman series. Both Bryce and Miles appeared as secondary characters in the Kingsman books, but now kick off this new Chicago world. It is a standalone, but you should just go ahead and read the Kingsman books because Piper Rayne knows how to write a sports romance that will keep you reading for just one more chapter!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
