Ok so a few things...
The dirty talk could have been better...
Some of the things Hailey did seemed a bit childish, but I'll let it slide...
Overall, this book was pretty darn good! And that twist at the end?? Omg! Did not see that coming! So ready for part 2!

I should've heeded the warning that was stated on the first part of the book.
I read this book, thinking it was one of those serial eroticas that don't have much plot and was more on sex. I didn't expect it to be like this. It caught me off guard.
Hailey Dashford Reid tries to lead a normal life but her publicly scandalous family makes it impossible for her to do so. She's attracted to Cole Parker, a man from a group her dad hired as their security detail, despite her dislike with him.
Cole Parker is a member of the Horus Group and knows that lusting after his client's daughter is a big fat NO. But how long will he be able to resist the forbidden fruit?
Lame summary again. Whatevs.
Anyway, I really liked the story. Like I said, it wasn't what I expected.
I admired Hailey because despite being in a fucked-up family with attention-seeking members, she didn't allow them to drag her down and strived to be independent.
With Cole, well, I do like him but it wasn't instantaneous even though he was the kind of guy that I would immediately put in my "men that cream your panties" category.
I was just kind of confused with him at first, you know. He was hell-bent on not allowing himself to touch Hailey but he was the one who was always aggressive and the one who initiated things, making Hailey baffled and shit.
Nevertheless, the attraction between the two main characters was almost tangible for me I felt that they might combust if they didn't actually do something about it.
I just had a few problems though. The lack of background information had been bugging me the whole time I read the book.
Like what kind of family is the Reid family? How influential are they that Hailey's sister ended up having a scandal with the VP? Are they like the Kardashians or something?
When the I read the title, I was kind of expecting some really hard and intense and steamy fucking because it's usually how hate sex works, right?
And why would you leave me with a freaking cliffy? WAE.
I know it's a serial and I kinda anticipated it already, but daaaaamn. Good thing I got my ARC for the part two though.

I don't like Cole. But I do like his hungry gaze.
I think I like it a lot.

Warning: This is just the start. This doesn't end well. And it's going to get much worse before it gets better.

Jesus, life is too short to not laugh regularly.

He kisses in a way that needs consent, that makes you feel like you've been stripped bare and fucked hard. This kiss is going to leave me achey and satisfied, even though the bare part can't happen.
Another reason we can't do this—he could have me on my knees, desperate for scraps of his attention, with no effort at all.

Thanks Netgalley for a free book to read and review.
Wow, what an enjoyment. Cole and Hailey had such fireworks I could feel the heat. So Hailey has an embarrassing family.....that's an underestimated sentence. Her sister made a sex tape with the old Vice President. Lol. Cole is a private bodyguard who makes sure Hailey makes it to every family meeting. The chemistry in this book is was hot! OMG! HOT!
Good girl rule number one: distance yourself from the family without morals. Good girl rule number two: don’t take your panties off for someone who will sell you down the river for a pay check. Technically speaking, I haven’t actually taken them off for Cole yet, he just shoved them aside last week. And ground against them before that. And made them wet tonight. Holy crap, I need to stop thinking about Cole and my underwear, because he’s currently outlining a plan that is the complete opposite of what I want.
Yeah right! You know she wants to spread em. I can't wait for part two! Five stars of hot freaking entertainment.

"They can't stand each other.
But there's a fine line between love and hate.
And that line is X-rated."
With a tag line like that, I HAD to check this book out...
And then finish it the same day.
The fast-paced, sizzling story drew me right in. Cole and Hailey are funny and engaging and their connection is intense- emotional and physical. I've already started on part two. :)

I requested this book because of the name of it. I mean dang, how can you not?
Then I started reading it.
Hailey's famous family is always in a mess in Washington. Her dad (it never really tells what he does) has slept his way through Washington and a woman he recently was with was found dead. Then there was a cover up of the whole thing.
Her sister..the Washington version of 'sluts are us' has been caught giving the vice president oral favors.
She is the good girl of the bunch. A bit chubby and quiet she just wants out of the limelight.
Her family has for hire a group of ex-navy guys who "fix stuff". Cole is one of these guys.
This blows that Fifty Shades shit out of the water.
Cole..I could eat him up with a spoon.
This woman turns me into a simpering idiot. And if she'd have me, I'd give it all up and try to be a better man for her.
Hailey..the best main character in a smexy book yet.
I wrap my arms around his neck and imagine for a second he might just take me right here. But I'm wearing tights, and boots and there's nothing sexy about a chubby girl peeling herself out of spandex and leather.
Oh...but there is smexy in this book.
My kindle had pages smoking out of it. *blushes*
The blurb for this book says it is 22 pages. That's wrong. It took me about an hour to read this and I can't wait for the rest of this story. It ends in a frigging cliffhanger and this smexy book reading woman wants more.
All hail the smexy book that doesn't have perfect frigging women and men that take them against their will. These characters totally rock.
I actually would have gave this one a five star except for the cliffhanger (I hate them) and the name. This book really doesn't need the attention grabbing name. It's that good.

I LOVED this book! The book world needs more curvy heroines like Hailey. Cole= HOT! Ex-Navy SEAL who seems to have quite a few secrets but I love his dirty mouth. This serial is off to an amazing start and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next! With that cliffhanger, I don't think I'll be able to sleep until I get my hands on the next volume. This is seriously fantastic - it's entertaining, hot, and suspenseful. I highly recommend this to everyone!!!
I really expected more from this book, maybe because it has such a title and promising description.
But it wasn't very enjoyable. I thought they'll need time from haters to lovers but that quickly flew out of the window with every page. What bothered me is that the main action was placed in the middle of the book and after that...nothing. The ending was quick, without any drama. It's as the author just decided to marry Cole and Hailey and end the book.
If I could summarize Hate F*@k it would be: first 10%haters, 10-40% becoming lovers 40-45% some action which was quickly solved 45-70% sex 70-80% weird ending 80-90% sex 90-95% quitting job 95-100% proposal & marriage.
Not enough character development and the plot...well, it sucked.

Loved the beginging and middle, but honestly it slowed WAY down at the end. I would try another of her books but I'm not sure I would suggest it to a friend. It is more suited if you want something steamy but don't care as much for a resolution.
Let me just say I loved this book and can't wait for the next installment!!! You won't be disappointed ❤️
The title is what got to me to notice this book and so glad it did, it was awesome! It was hot and steamy and had a great story line also. Can't wait for the next one.
