Push/Pull: Yes They both push away and pursue the relationship at times. I'm a sucker for unrequited type feelings. I teared up a few times, but I never needed any tissues.

She had her insecurities, but she was also strong.

Blaze broke my heart! Poor guy and his abandonment issues and loneliness! I just wanted to give him a hug!! Instalove: No, but they both have residual feelings when the story begins from when they hooked up before. I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well. Point Of View (POV): This alternated between Charisma and Blaze's POV. There are some sad moments, some big life changes, some hot sexy times, and some drama.and they get a HEA ending. They end up in a class together and try at becoming friends before things heat up again. They both have a lot of baggage that contributed to their downfall, but they both are drawn to one another and can't move on. The story begins after winter break when they see each other for the first time since that happened. They had a 3 week fling that ended horribly when Blaze broke up with Charisma very publicly at a party. Overall Opinion: Wow! I went in thinking this was going to be another case of my expectations getting me because of my weakness for college athlete stories, but no! My low expectations were in my favor this time! Definitely the best of the 3 in this series so far (not listed as series but same characters and setting)! It tapped into my feels, it had complex characters, great chemistry in and out of bed between the characters, and some alright closure! I liked it! It could've had more closure and could've done without the OW drama (but I understood why it happened) - but it was good! Awesome surprise 🤗īrief Summary of the Storyline: This is Charisma and Blaze's story. *Steamy and flirty with all the emotional feels, I Hate You is a new adult standalone romance. So why can’t he stop trying to win her back?Ĭan this wide receiver score the girl or will he make the biggest fumble of his life? There’s absolutely no way he can have the girl and the game. (Tell that to her body.)īlaze knows she’s the riskiest prospect at Waylon University, but none of the interchangeable girls he hooks up with have ever made him feel the way she did. She’d be crazy to let this cocky player affect her again. He thinks all he has to do is turn on those baby blues, and she’ll melt right back into his arms.

So no, she’s not about to forgive and forget just because he sits next to her in class. She’s been expecting this ever since their latest showdown. WSJ bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills returns with an all-new, enemies-to-lovers second chance romance between the football hottie and the feisty nerd girl he can’t forget.
