Silas

I’m tired of feeling trapped in my life.
It’s just a never-ending cycle of trying to survive the day.
Luckily, I have Blaine to keep me entertained.
We’re enemies but despite him being everything I hate; I’m addicted to him and the things we do in the dark. Somehow, he’s crept his way under my skin, and I’m obsessed with the way he’s making me feel.
I don’t want to admit I’m falling for him—the golden boy—but he’s my perfect match in every way.
He gives me something I never thought I’d have and, even though we’re impossible, I won’t let anyone stand in the way of us.

Blaine

My life is suffocating me.
Perfect son, star athlete, ideal student. I’m overwhelmed—unraveling at the seams.
Until Silas flips my world on its axis.
My dirty little secret.
He’s my perfect escape from reality. I can let loose and feel good for a change. He makes me feel alive for the first time.
But he’ll always be someone I despise. He’s arrogant, the epitome of a bad boy and yet the longer we do this, the harder it’s becoming to ignore my growing feelings. He’s not what I expected, but he’s exactly what I need.
And now that I’ve had him, I refuse to let him go.

Hateful Love is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, secret romance that centers around the bad boy and the jock and all the things they do in the dark. Mix in some possessive vibes, prying friends, and corrupt politics, and Hateful Love will take you on a wild but bumpy ride.

REVIEW:

Living in a small trailer with his sweet mom, sleeping on a couch, because he gave his bed to his sister-in-law and niece, with a father and brother in jail, bad boy Silas’ life isn’t the easiest.
His biggest problem is Blaine.

Blaine, the golden boy, the star quarterback, wearing the nicest clothes, everyone wants to be him.
His biggest problem is Silas.

Yes, they can’t stand each other! From day one Silas hated Blaine and in return, he tried hard to hate him back.

Blaine is the son of an apathetic mom, and the mayor as father, yes that gives indeed all the pressure you can think of. Blaine will not admit it out loud, but he’s suffocating, got panic attacks and feels like sh*t.
He has a completely different view of his future than his dad has for him.

Every time Silas and Blaine their paths cross it’s fire, the hate blazing through them.
But it’s nothing in comparison with the fireworks coming from their sexual encounters.

We can follow them, we get to know them, and let me tell you, there’s a lot to know.
The struggle of life, family, study, friends, and enemies, thank goodness they have each other, and some great supportive people.

It was an awesome read, strongly written, with great characters, rough, tough, super hot, funny, and yes romantic! All great ingredients for a great story!
