What This Collection Covers:
Across these three stand-alone novels, Sally Thorne paints a cohesive picture of modern romance that celebrates humor, resilience, and growth. The Hating Game leans into workplace tension and the electric push-pull of enemies-to-lovers, all delivered with crisp dialogue and playful mischief. 99 Percent Mine follows a heroine who charts her own path, then confronts the irresistible pull of a love that feels fated, testing the balance between freedom and commitment. Second First Impressions expands the lens to a heartwarming, slightly offbeat setting—a retirement villa—where age is just a number and romance arrives in surprising packages. Readers will enjoy a spectrum of tones: whip-smart banter, tender moments, and the warm, hopeful glow of relationships that feel earned. The collection demonstrates Thorne’s signature blend of humor and heart, appealing to fans of contemporary romance seeking stories that feel like real life—only more charming and entertaining. The paperback edition ensures accessible reading while preserving the crisp prose and vivid characterizations that define Thorne’s work.

Book-by-Book Guide:
The Hating Game
Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman play their parts with politesse and snark as they navigate daily power plays across their publishing company. Their predictable clashes pulse with surprising tenderness as they reveal their deeper instincts beneath the office harassment. Thorne crafts rapid-fire dialogue, perceptive observations, and a romance that grows from competitive banter into genuine care. The result is a witty, emotionally resonant ride that examines how fear of vulnerability can mask irresistible attraction, and how taking a risk for true connection can redefine both personal and professional ambition. The Hating Game is a standout contemporary romance that pairs smart plotting with heartfelt warmth, making it a must-read for fans of clever, feel-good love stories.

99 Percent Mine
Darcy Barrett’s life priorities have always been clear—travel, photography, and independence. Yet when she confronts Tom Valeska, a man her best friend’s brother considers off-limits, the boundaries she’s drawn begin to blur. Tom embodies a magnetic mix of guarded charm and surprising sensitivity, challenging Darcy to rethink what she wants—and what she’s willing to fight for. Thorne layers humor with moments of vulnerability as Darcy navigates friendships, ambition, and romance on a global stage. The book builds toward a satisfying, character-driven payoff that emphasizes trust, self-discovery, and the courage to choose love on your own terms.

Second First Impressions
Ruthie Midona manages Providence Retirement Villa with precision and practicality, until Teddy Prescott—tattooed, easygoing, and intriguingly imperfect—enters her carefully ordered world. The dynamic between Ruthie’s restraint and Teddy’s carefree intensity creates a warm, buoyant romance set amid a cast of endearing seniors and quirky events. Thorne uses humor to soften even tougher emotions, delivering a story about second chances, confidence, and the joy of letting someone in. This novel showcases Thorne’s ability to blend humor, tenderness, and heartfelt character growth into a cozily uplifting romance that resonates long after the last page.
