Are there any books that you hated the first time you read them, but when you read them for the second time you loved them?

Are there any authors whose first book you read made you give up on them at first, but when you read another book by them you ended up tracking all of their books? He/she became your favorite author!

I first read Stolen Fury by Elisabeth Naughton and absolutely hated it. Then a couple of years later Wait For Me was recommended to me and I kept putting it off since I hated Stolen Fury so bad. I finally read it and it is now one of my favorite books ever. So now I have read her Against All Odds series, Eternal Guardians series and the Deadly Secrets series and love them all.

Yes, The first time I read Lord of Scoundrels - Loretta Chase I DNF'd it. I kept reading about how good it was and decided those people were nuts. I waited a year or two, tried again and loved it. 🎃

Maybe I should go back and see if (after a few years) I might like them after all.

BB----- The hero in Lord of Scoundrels had to grow on you. LOL! ML.

Seriously Dane was rough around the edges and didn't want to care about anyone/ anything.

The LoS hero needed the most love of any hero I've read. He was redeemable. I could name several HR heroes ( boy-men) who were
past hope b/c of selfishness or mega need for revenge. Selfish? Vengeful? Still alone. ML

ml, Besides agreeing with you about Dain needing to be loved I enjoyed how smart and clever Jessica was! Her brother was a total idiot. This was the 1st LC book that I'd read but then went on to read every other book she wrote. 🎃

BB----- Obviously, my post didn't 'take' till the 3rd try! Jessica was smart and witty, but her brother was taking up air. If I like an author,
I may order several more by same person.
