Publisher's summary

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.

CW/TW: Chronic illness, absent/negligent parents, history of disordered eating.

Loved this hate to lovers romance! ❤️ Their banter is ridiculous at times, but in the funny way and 🥵 so hot! Really enjoyed their relationship growth and the narrators.

3.5 Stars

I think this is my favorite book by this author. The banter was on point, and lasted throughout the book, even during the smexy scenes, which I rarely see. There were some emotional moments, and serious topics addressed, but overall, it was a light-hearted Enemies to Lovers book that I really enjoyed. I listened to the audio, and it was great too.

The worst guy isnt so bad afterall....

steamy
grumpy sunshine
medical
mental health/disordered eating
enemies to lovers

The Worst Guy really turned out to be not the worst. I felt the struggles and connection of these characters and the way he loved her first was just the sweetest. Kate did an amazing job making these characters relatable and taking about baggage and past trauma so eloquently. They were really well developed. The banter in this book was so great!

Connor and Natalie fit these characters so well, both did a fantastic job bringing these broken characters to life. Their delivery was superb, and I highly recommend this read.

Great Enemies To Lovers Romance

Fans of Kate Caterbary have seen Sebatian Stremmel in her other books. I've been waiting a long time for this grump's book. It was worth the wait. This is a stand-alone book, so don't worry if this is your first by the author. I haven't read such an explosive enemies to lovers book in a long time. The sexual tension between Sebastian and fellow doctor Sara Shapiro is amazing. After getting into a big argument at work, they are forced to do counselling together. The results are hilarious and hot.

The narrators, Natalie Duke and Connor Crais are great. I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Worst Guy Was The Best Guy

This is my first time hearing Connor Crais and Natalie Duke and they did a wonderful job narrating this beautiful book. I read the book and could not wait to listen and they did not disappoint.

Good

The Worst Guy is hate to love, but Sebastian never hated Sarah. Both had a lot of trauma to work through, and both are older, well established surgeons working in Boston. They had to work through their issues in conflict resolution, which caused them to throw toys at each other. Parts of it were childish, but the way the author handled the trauma that both Sebastian and Sarah had. The romance was good. TW: talk of eating disorder, toxic/abusive parents

Cannot love this story more!

Absolutely loved everything about this book.

THE WORST GUY by Kate Canterbury is a witty, emotional, heartfelt enemies to lover’s romance that makes you fall in love with these perfectly imperfect characters and their HEA!

How do a cheerful plastic surgeon and grumpy trauma surgeon find themselves in an 8-week mandatory counselling session? They tear up an exam room in a heated disagreement. Now they have to prove that they can play nice by completing team-building exercises which will have you in stitches and hot flushes as you can expect a lot of snarky banter followed by heated tumbles between the bedsheets! Kate Canterbury also digs a little deeper emotionally and both Sebastian & Sara starting to see each other in a different light after discovering hidden flaws and insecurities.

Natalie Duke and Connor just fit these roles to perfection. The way they performed all that bickering, be it heated or flirty, is just fantastic and very entertaining! And they also tug on your heartstrings by conveying all the raw emotions and vulnerabilities of these characters!

Most enjoyable bantering ever perfectly narrated

What a fun book to listen to and needs to be done so more than reading it as these two narrators kill it!! Connor Crais took on the grumpy, sarcastic trauma surgeon and Natalie Duke rocked as the plastics surgeon dealing with recovering from eating disorder history. It was fun to listen, the fights, the homework both had to do - the rowing, the bubble suit fight…omg! And the hot hot scenes - it was funny, yet serious on what one feels, thinks as one recovers from eating disorders and abandonment issues. Kate did a phenomenal job with this story and I love it!!!
