If You Hate Me

by Connor Crais Helena Hunting

4.1

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for the protagonist, that means crashing on a futon in an apartment shared by her brother and his infuriating best friend. Forced into close quarters, she finds herself living with Tristan Stiles, a professional hockey player whose reputation for being a playboy is only matched by his habit of walking around shirtless. Their relationship is a classic enemies-to-lovers setup fueled by constant bickering and undeniable tension. While she once harbored a teenage crush on him, she now views Tristan as the bane of her existence. She is determined to keep her distance, secure a new job, and move out before she falls for his charm. However, the proximity makes avoiding him nearly impossible, especially as their mutual animosity begins to crack under the weight of their growing chemistry. Packed with witty banter, spicy encounters, and genuine emotional depth, this hockey romance explores the friction between old grudges and new desires. As they navigate their volatile living situation, the lines between hate and attraction blur, forcing them to confront feelings they’ve spent years trying to suppress. It is a steamy, hilarious journey about finding connection in the most unexpected places.

Incredibly entertaining and smoking hot story!

Image 101: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Incredibly entertaining and smoking hot story! If You Hate Me was the best kind of dirty fun and I loved every second. Can a book catch fire because seriously, this baby was scorching! I loved getting to know Rix and Tristan and watching their hate banter turn into so much more. I loved the build, the sexual chemistry, and all the entertaining moments. I never wanted to put it down and read it way too fast because I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next. Rix and Tristan were everything. I loved the witty yet wicked barbs flying between them, the tension was palpable. However, I could see the cracks forming and I loved those moments shining through when you could feel the sweetness and playfulness between them. I loved the building feelings they were denying. When that tension between them finally spilled over… just WOW! I've read some hot books before but I swear I smelled smoke when these two got together. Beyond the sex, there was drama, pain, and emotional upheaval as they opened up and shared the issues they were dealing with and I liked how they worked through them. The humor was fantastic and I loved Rix and Tristan’s internal dialogue. This was filled with so many laugh-out-loud moments and I loved them all. I liked that it was dual POVs so I could get inside their heads and truly understand what drove them. I loved all the characters involved. I love how Rix found a core group of friends and the laughter and support they brought. I loved Tristan's teammates and their camaraderie, and how they brought the wisdom when needed. A lot of people were introduced and I can't wait to see who will get a story. I’m hoping Rix’s brother and Tristan’s best friend Flip gets one, this guy needs to work himself out! I love how their different relationships with Flip factored into the story and the complications it added. This was a super entertaining and addicting to read. I absolutely loved all the heat but even more than that, I loved Rix and Tristan coming together, opening up and being vulnerable, and getting to their HEA. It was the best!

1 4.1 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(15,269) Book 1 of 6: The Toronto Terror Series Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions A brand new standalone hate-to-love, brother's best friend hockey romance. My new roommates are two pro hockey players. First, my f-boy of an older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate). This was a last resort. No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and man sweat. But here I am, trying to get my life together. Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan show me exactly how well-deserved his reputation is. ) ©2024 Ink & Cupcakes Inc.
