Hated You Then: Book One: Love Hurts Duet

Hated You Then was EVERYTHING! M has nailed it yet again. Creed has always been my number one M alpha so to say I was excited for this book was a understatement. I LOVED THIS BOOK SO HARD! I devoured this story in a matter of hours. I simply could not put this book down. I was consumed with Jackson and Harley. Hated You Then was a fast paced enemies to lovers romance with rom com feels, and all the angst. Saying it was a emotional roller coaster ride is a understatement. My feelings was constantly changing with each page I turned. It was like emotion whiplash. I have never felt so much humor, anger, and heartbreak all at once. This book was messy, complicated, young love at its finest. I have never rooted for characters so much in my life. Something about the hate between Jackson and Harley just pulls you in. I was so entranced with this couple. They are like that train wreck you can't take your eyes off of. I have a feeling the Love Hurts Duet is going to wreck me. Im ready for more!!

M. Robinson's writing was perfection. Her character development was so in-depth. I loved Harley. The chick was seriously hard core. She was strong and knew her self-worth and totally believed in herself. I love me a good, strong heroine especially when she's so young. Jackson is the quarterback (eventually anyway), the man with a serious attitude. I'm not saying it isn't understandable but man did he love to mess with Harley. These two were just gasoline and fire! Robinson does it again! Hate Me Then was a book that I was seriously unable to put down. Having a book told from the POV of kids through young adults made my heart ache in all kinds of ways. Let me just tell you all, this FELT like a young adult story. Back when the feelings are some serious roller coasters and you hate him... you hate her... the constant one-up-man-ship. It wore me out just reading it. Harley's and Jackson gave my heart a ride... and that cliffy... oh my lanta, that cliffhanger!! This is gonna be a long wait!!! I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Hated You Then by M. Robinson is the first book in her Love Hurts duet. A story of a young boy and girl whose lives have been intertwined since birth - who have consistently and constantly clashed against each other at almost every turn. With a few respites in the process when tragedy strikes, but the bond that has grown between these two is strong despite their surface animosity. They both hate each other so much but it is such a fine line with them between that hate, that denial and the love you can see between the lines. Ending in a cliffhanger and told in dual POV this book was a little painful and a little sad. Being the first book, we don't yet get their happily ever after and I felt a tad emotionally drained after reading this. I will definitely be reading book two, Love You Now, due out November 12, 2019. Enjoy!
