Well, first, the 'hate to love' aspect means there's a lot of initial conflict. The characters might dislike each other's personalities, values, or actions at first.

Also, these novels often have a lot of emotional growth. The characters have to overcome their initial hatred and learn to trust and love each other while also dealing with the BDSM relationship dynamics.
