HATE AT FIRST SIGHT. THEN COMES THE REWRITE.

'Utterly delicious - I couldn't stop reading this' MARIAN KEYES

'Warm, sexy, and full of whip-smart humour that had me cackling through each page, Love Scene is everything I crave in a rom-com. I adored it!' CATHERINE WALSH

'A balm for the soul, this is a gorgeously sweet and sexy novel with characters you'll want to befriend and a soap you'll wish was real!' VICKI NOTARO

TV writer Annie McDermott has finally landed her dream job. The nightmare part: she has to share an office with her nemesis.

Arrogant (and distractingly handsome) Art Sullivan - who Annie hasn't seen since their college days - was supposed to be Hollywood's Next Big Thing. So what's he doing in a soap opera writers' room, apart from pushing Annie's buttons?

Soon though Annie's got a bigger distraction: someone's trying to sabotage the show. But she's not going to let her dream go without a fight. Even if it means asking for Art's help to stop them.

After Annie and Art find themselves sharing a very hot kiss at the office (which they swear will never happen again), things get even more complicated. But if they can quit arguing long enough to finally admit they make a good team, there might just be another plot twist ahead ...

Here's what readers are saying about Love Scene:

'Forced proximity, workplace romance, a super camp villain and SO much banter with genuine chemistry ... Absolutely one to put on your TBR!' Netgalley reader

'With a style of writing similar to Mhairi McFarlane this author is fast becoming one of my auto-reads. Funny, romantic ... 5 stars all round, no notes' Netgalley reader

'Absolutely sensational ... The chemistry between the two is off the charts; in my opinion, an enemies-to-lovers romance is the best kind, and this is one of the best I've read' Netgalley reader

'I was hooked. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry & Marian Keyes' Netgalley reader

'Love Scene has completely stolen my heart ... If you are a fan of fresh, clever and modern romance novels, you'll love this' Netgalley reader

'Their chemistry? FIRE! ... I absolutely loved this unputdownable modern screwball comedy' Netgalley reader

'It's 1am. I couldn't stop reading Love Scene today, Anna Carey writes the BEST dialogue. Oh my days, this story is absolutely perfect' Netgalley reader©2026 Anna Carey (P)2026 Hachette Books Ireland Contemporary Comedy Dream

A really nicely written story with a major plot hole. They get told that they need to brush up on Dublin dialogue as they've been away from the city, and NOTHING is mentioned by the Irish lead about how she learned Geordie for her writing job in Newcastle. No looking back on how hard it must have been or what she did to get that dialogue in check. She wonders if she's lost her roots etc, and you'd think she'd reference 'of course my Dublin slang has slipped after working on Our Toon for years' or something to that affect.

lovely romcom
