✨New Book Alert: HATEMATES by J.D. Hollyfield is AVAILABLE NOW!
Blurb:
From J.D. Hollyfield, author of Power, comes a devilishly spicy, enemies-to-lovers romance about overcoming the past, undeniable attraction, and finding love in the untimeliest of ways.
A best friend, a stalker, and a bodyguard walk into a bar…
Current status: Living my best life. *Flips hair* What more could a girl want?
Just kidding.
My life has gone to shit. All the fun, late nights, and single life come to a screeching halt when I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, thanks to my overbearing best friend, I’ve adopted a guard dog to keep me safe until they find the guy who attacked me.
Insert Tate Deveraux, my newest inconvenience. He’s brawny, not bad on the eyes, and a pain in my ass. Not only am I stuck with him until I’m out of danger, but he’s moving in with me.
He’s become a nuisance in my life and needs to go—stalker be damned. So do the urges to strip him naked and see if the rumors about hand size hold true. I blame my crush on booze and the kiss that should have never happened.
The simmering attraction between us is undeniable, but he’s made it clear I’m just a job. With lines being crossed and my life at stake, I guess I’ll find out if he’s better at keeping me safe or sated.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
This was great! The banter was witty, Tate and Mindy were well-developed characters, and it had a plot twist I didn’t expect.
After Mindy is attacked after work one night, her best friend, Fay, and her billionaire fiance, Theo, insist on hiring her a bodyguard. At first, Mindy starts out as just another protection job for Tate. And she wants nothing to do with the broody, quiet, giant who she’s being forced to be roommates with. She’s used to not having anyone in her corner and surprises even herself when she finds herself softening towards the brute. Soon, their physical attraction leads to an emotional connection, but just as Tate and Mindy hit a crossroads regarding the future of any relationship between them, the unthinkable happens and she is abducted.
I really enjoyed the progress of this story, and how it unfolded. There was a lot of emotional growth on Tate’s part, and they both became better versions of themselves when they were together as a team.
Having not previously read Power, I’m sure I would have benefitted from knowing Mindy as a side character in that story, and appreciated her friendship with Fay even more. But I don’t think not knowing that story took anything away from my enjoyment of Tate and Mindy’s romance because I adored their story.
I’ve only read one other book by JD Hollyfield before this, which I also enjoyed, so I will definitely be checking out books from her in the future!
I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet J.D. Hollyfield:
Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
