ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 14, 2024
When hate leads to love next door…
My dad is protective. Scratch that. He’s like the person who would grab a chair, place it on the lawn, and watch me walk across the street just to deliver an apple. So, when a bet between the rude, good-looking guy across the way becomes a full-on battle, it turns into absolute chaos.
He says my degree is useless and that I’m a rich, spoiled princess. I say he’s an idiot who only knows how to fix motorcycles and is incapable of having a clean-shaven face. He gives me a tiara. Thanks. I buy him a razor. Perfect. He follows that up with a book… Like. I. Can’t. Read. I then give him soap—explanation easy there.
The following day, I receive a pink princess blanket that I may or may not have burned and tossed on his front doorstep, not realizing his dad is a cop. Now, both dads want the war to stop between us, forcing us to go on a camping trip to bury the hatchet—which I’m convinced he actually brought.
He’s a hazard to my health. But it’s only a weekend. I honestly don’t know if we’ll make it out alive, but the dads are tired of it all. Regardless, I’ll come out, and prove I’m not the princess he thinks I am. Maybe he’ll end up lost in the woods—one can only hope.
One thing’s for sure. I will never, ever fall for him. Ever.
A bet with the boy next door? Challenge accepted. I’ll be waiting for my trophy at the finish line.

REVIEW:LOVE HAZARD by Rachel Van Dyken is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance stand alone set in the author’s THE BET series. This is August Wellington, and Hazel Titus’ story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Hazel and August) LOVE HAZARD follows the frenemies to friends to lovers relationship between our story line couple. Throughout most of her life, Hazel has felt the teasing wrath of our story line hero. From bullying to spiteful language and hate, Hazel has been targeted by the boy who would steal her heart. Fast forward to present day, Hazel returns home following her graduation and the death of her beloved great-grandmother only to face down the boy who is now beautiful man. Tired of their bickering and childish behavior, both August’s and Hazel’s fathers put a plan into motion, forcing our couple to work out their issues spending a weekend camping but all does not go according to plan when a wild bear and a rainstorm upend their weekend, and August and Hazel are forced to acknowledge their attraction at a nearby hotel. What ensues is the frenemies to lovers relationship in the face of years of heartbreak and emotional abuse.
LOVE HAZARD is a fast paced, quick read. Hazel and August have spent most of their lives taunting and teasing to the point of petty vengeance but grief and years of misdirected hatred push the families to force a confrontation between our story line couple. The premise is interesting and entertaining; the romance is fast and furious; the characters are determined but initially very immature.
