The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary is now live!
Eight weeks of forced proximity is a long time to hate someone you're trying not to love.
Sebastian Stremmel doesn't need another headache. He has enough of his own without Sara Shapiro, the noisy new reconstructive surgeon, stomping all around his surgical wing with her chippy, chirpy cheerfulness.
But Sebastian doesn't usually get what he wants.
No one gets under his skin like Sara - so much so a heated "debate" and an exam room left in shambles later, they land themselves in eight weeks of hospital-mandated conflict resolution counseling. Now they're forced to fight fair...which quickly leads them to playing dirty when no one's looking.
They know it's a mistake.
They promise themselves it will never happen again.
They swear they got it out of their systems.
They didn't.
Author's Note: Grumpy/recovering people-pleaser sunshine. Introverts attract. Enemies-to-lovers in the workplace. Banter, bicker, and button-pushing foreplay. Don't tell the friend group, get jealous when the friend group tries to fix her up.
Heat: rip her clothes off before you get the front door open.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
First things first....while you don't need to read the previous book in this series, it may help you understand Stremmel a bit more. He's a complicated dude and I feel like if you are going in knowing nothing about him, you may not like him. But that's just me.
Stremmel, you grumpy bastard. I love him so much. I've been waiting for his story for so long and it's finally here and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. Gahhhhhhhhhhh! Just inject the grumpy sunshine trope into my veins because it gives me life!
Sara and Stremmel cannot have a conversation without their voices raising and/or some kind of destruction occurring. And that is why they find themselves in the work version of couples therapy. On the surface every single one of their sessions seems to be a disaster, but it is what happens after the session that is the interesting part. (i.e. the ripping of her clothes off before they get the front door open.)
The banter between Stremmel and Sara was A+. Stremmel had lots of interesting nicknames for her that had me laughing out loud. They had the whole "I hate you, but what I really want to have lots of hate sex to get you out of my system" thing down and it was AMAZING. And hot as hell!
Ugh! I just loved them so much. There is some heavy stuff that happens in this books (CW: past eating disorder that has resulted in current issues), but all those things do is show Stremmel in a better light. Being in a relationship is exactly what he needed.
Stremmel may be one of the grumpiest characters I've ever read, but he is also one of the most loyal. Despite his immense crankiness, the Walsh clan has adopted him into their family and he's begrudgingly accepted. When he has a problem, he goes to Nick and Erin. They seem to know exactly what he needs, when he needs it. I just LOVED that aspect of the book.
This book is a MUST read for anyone who is fan of Kate's Walsh series and this spin offs. You will not be disappointed.
