I've seen a lot of buzz about Shain Rose's 'Between Love and Loathing' lately, especially in romance reader circles! From what I gather, it's a steamy enemies-to-lovers story with that addictive push-pull dynamic.
Currently, the most legitimate way to read it would be through major ebook retailers like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, or Kobo. Sometimes indie authors like Shain Rose also distribute through platforms like Smashwords or their personal websites. I'd caution against sketchy free sites—they often have pirated content that hurts authors. If you're on a budget, check if your local library offers digital lending through apps like Libby or Hoopla! The book might pop up there eventually too.
Ugh, the struggle of tracking down a specific romance novel is so real! I went down this rabbit hole last month when a friend recommended 'Between Love and Loathing.' After some digging, I found the author’s Instagram (@shainrosewrites) where she posts updates—turns out it’s exclusive to Amazon for now as part of Kindle Unlimited.
What’s cool is that KU lets you read it for free with a subscription, and they often do 30-day trials for new users. I’d also recommend joining romance-focused Facebook groups; members sometimes share legit discount codes or alert you when books hit other platforms. The indie romance community is super helpful about this stuff!
Funny story—I actually DMed Shain Rose about this after striking out on Google! She confirmed it’s a Kindle Unlimited title at the moment, but hinted at potential wider distribution later this year. While waiting, I fell into a rabbit hole of similar tropes: if you love the emotional tension in 'Between Love and Loathing,' maybe try 'The Devil You Know' by Elizabeth O’Roark or 'The Worst Wedding Date' by Pippa Grant. Both have that delicious hate-to-love energy while being readily available on multiple platforms. Sometimes the hunt for one book leads you to a whole new obsession!

These are the tales society whispers about but never dares to speak aloud: the aching pull of step-parents and step-children, the dangerous heat of family secrets, and the kind of love that thrives in shadows. From scorching heterosexual passion to steamy lesbian and gay encounters, every flavor of forbidden ecstasy awaits.
Here, rules are shattered.
Hearts betray reason. Characters surrender to the raw, uncontrollable urge to touch what they shouldn’t, step-fathers, step-mothers, blood-bound temptations, and every wicked variation in between.
This is not gentle romance. This is wild, sinful, unapologetic lust wrapped in love. A dance on the razor’s edge between control and chaos, guilt and surrender.
Between the crushing weight of sin and the sweet sting of redemption, these lovers become entangled in secrets, temptation, and pleasure so intense it borders on madness.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t the sin itself…
**Warning: This book contains mature sex scenes, "I hate you," she whispered — breathless, furious, aching. "I hate you more," he growled back. And then he made her forget every man who came before him.
Rhaena thought she knew what was missing from her life — until her boyfriend called her boring in bed. Two years together. Not a single orgasm. Done with shame, done with faking, she makes a decision that will unravel everything: one night, one stranger, an elite escort and a dark sex club where no one knows her name.
The masked man who finds her there doesn't just give her pleasure. He ruins her — for every other man, for every careful, curated version of herself she's ever performed.
But when she leaves, a message arrives: a refund. A record that says she was never there.
And before she can make sense of it, her mother drops another bomb — she's engaged. There's a dinner. A mansion. A future stepbrother named Alessio, who looks at Rhaena like she's a problem he wants to destroy.
Cold. Hostile. Magnetic in a way that makes her teeth ache.
When she overhears him cutting her apart with words, she doesn't run.
She fights back.
And something ignites between them — sharp as a blade, hot as a wound — something neither of them is willing to name.
Because the line between hatred and desire isn't just thin. It's already been crossed.
What happens when Rhaena realizes the masked man who woke her body, who owned her in the dark — is her future stepbrother?
What happens when Alessio discovers that the woman he can't stand is Cherry — the one he can't stop thinking about?
Some secrets don't stay buried. And some hatreds are just love that hasn't lost control.

This author once failed as a heroine… and returned as something entirely different.
Not as a savior.
But as the villain.
And she didn’t come back empty-handed.
She brought secrets.
She brought sins.
She brought a story that was never meant to be read.
Sinners & Saints is not just a collection of dark romance stories—
It is a confession.
A warning.
And a door best left unopened.
Within these pages lie twisted love stories where desire and destruction walk hand in hand, and every choice comes with a cost.
So the question is simple:
Will you turn away…
or step inside anyway?

Roan King is my brother’s best friend.
He’s thirty, a billionaire, and the most dangerous man I’ve ever loved, because he loves me back like it’s the only thing he knows how to do.
Our relationship is a secret. A beautiful, suffocating secret. The kind that feels like forever… until it starts to feel like a cage.
So I broke it.
I broke us with no explanation, no reason he could understand.
I'm a girl who realized that loving Roan King would eventually destroy me… and I walked away before it could.
Except Roan doesn’t do walked away.
“You don’t get to break up with me, Lia. That’s not how this works.”
So, he gave me a challenge, to make him hate me.
Push him so far past the point of love that there’s nothing left but disgust.
So I tried.
God help me…
I really tried.
Shain Rose's books are pretty easy to find online if you know where to look! I usually grab them from Amazon since they have both Kindle and paperback versions. Sometimes, I check Barnes & Noble's website too—they often have special editions or signed copies. If you're into audiobooks, Audible might have some of her titles narrated, which is great for multitasking.
For indie bookstores, Bookshop.org is a fantastic option. They support local shops, and shipping is reliable. I also stumbled upon her work on Kobo once during a sale, so it’s worth keeping an eye there. If you’re outside the U.S., platforms like Waterstones or Book Depository (before it closed) used to carry them, but now Amazon’s global sites might be your best bet. Happy reading—her stories are addictive!
Straight up, you want Shain Rose's 'Corrupted Chaos' without sailing the high seas. Good on you. The safest port is the retailer you bought it from initially—Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play. They keep your purchased library and let you download the EPUB for offline reading via their apps.
If you got it through Kindle Unlimited, that's a borrow, not a buy, so you can't download a permanent EPUB file outside their ecosystem. For a legal, standalone EPUB file you own, you'd need a direct purchase. Sometimes authors sell EPUBs on their own websites, but I haven't seen that for this title. Your receipt email from a major store is your best proof of a legal download right.
