How much time do you have?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was that day he basically insulted my acting. And then there’s the way he… exists. Plus, he’s infuriatingly arrogant, wholly unbearable, and drop-dead gorgeous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI mean, the magazines think he’s gorgeous. Not me. Definitely not me. I hate his pretty face, his action hero arms, and his annoying kisses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh. Did I forget to mention that? Don’t get too hot and bothered, it’s just for the stage. He’s cast as The Pirate King and I’m the unlucky maiden who he flings over his muscular shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a tough job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut even through Will hates my guts, his eyes tell another story. The way he looks at me sends a warm flutter down my belly. And since I swore to loathe him for all eternity, falling for him would be an extreme inconvenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s a girl to do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e★ WILL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’m only doing this musical as a favor to a friend, and I certainly could do without the distraction from Beth Bennet—even if she invades my daydreams like an over-zealous photo bomber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe way she spars with me and gets under my skin… it’s dangerous. I need to keep my head down, finish this play, and get back to my action movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcept I’m starting to wonder if that’s what I really want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only has this sassy pixie taken residence in my head, she redecorated and I can’t find anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is this torment? Even my dog prefers her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wonder what would happen if I stop fighting this attraction brewing inside me? And when the curtain falls and the lights dim, how will I know if this on-stage romance is nothing more than just a fantastic performance?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♥ Love and Loathing is chock full of off the charts hate to love chemistry, witty banter, and whip-smart humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♥ If you’re here for a slow burn, closed door, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with sizzling kisses, mild language, and snappy innuendo (and singing pirates) without explicit content, you’ll love Gigi Blume’s hilarious retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and \u003ca href=\"brighthaven:\/\/open?bookId=ebook-9906942963799\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\"\u003ePrejudice.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sodasac Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":45731837509793,"sku":"9906942963799","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3417\/7953\/files\/PF001116_20-_20Love_20and_20Loathing_20-_20Love_20and_20Loathing_20ebook_20FLAT_20USAT_20Jan_202022.png?v=1771491762","url":"https:\/\/brighthavenbooks.com\/products\/love-and-loathing-blume-2019","provider":"Bright Haven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
