I was so excited to find out that this book is going to soon be released and as soon as I got it I couldn't wait to find some time to read it. First of all, I simply love the Love Lines series by Diana Nixon and I thought it would be interesting to see something different from her fantasy novels. The writing style is engaging like always and more often than I would have expected I found myself laughing at the snarky dialogue.Hate at first sight is the perfect read for a lazy day, fast paced and entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Megan is quite different from all the other characters in contemporary romances. Although she is visible attracted to Aiden she has other priorities like studding and building herself a career. She struggles to hate him or at least tries to keep the distance, but it seems that he is way too charmed with her.I loved her attitude though, even when she agreed to be with him due to the bet. I enjoyed their little tease game and how neither of them was willing to lose the bet even though it was hard to hmm...restrain. And there were some scenes that made me blush not only once. I don't usually give credit for this, but the romantic parts were HOT and brilliantly written, without giving too much, but having enough. I know, I am a little vague, but trust me, they are hot.I liked Aiden, he is hot, smart, annoying in a good way until he messed it up. Then I couldn't help but hate him a little. Well, at that point I'd have to agree with Owen (Megan's brother), when he said that they both acted like kids. There was not a shade of maturity between them and they waited for a fair amount of time to talk about why they were so angry about each other.In the end I am happy that they ended up together, but I was a little sorry for Richard. He was not an important character and only showed up in the last couple of chapters, but Megan seemed to care about him. She didn't love him, but she care about him on some level and when they broke up and he said that is ok, because he knew she was in love with someone else...that melted my heart.
