4 stars...I think I should have waited until the whole serial was our, because I want to know more. I felt like everything was so surface and I want to know what is going to happen next. I really like Hailey for some reason I cannot wait to see her story evolve.

Normally I blame these things on Angela but this time it's all Shelby's fault.

Warning! This book contains a cliffhanger.

I book is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

I am a huge fan of Zoe York, but her writing with the pen name Ainsley Booth is even better!

I love the sizzling connection in this book between Hailey and Cole. Cole is a bad ass alpha male and ex-Navy SEAL. Hailey is an feisty and independent woman, who is over the drama that her family causes. Though the attraction between these two is off the scales scorching HOT, they both try to resist and push the other away. The banter and verbal whiplash that is exchanged between these two is thoroughly entertaining really spices up their sex life.

One thing I love about Haley's character is that she on the plumper side. I love reading books where the characters aren't stick thin supermodels, and with this comes a bit of real life insecurity; making Hailey really come to life. The sex scenes in this are 'panty melting' HOT, but the emotions that come along with them are even HOTTER!

You will not be disappointed when you're done with this book...it'll have you diving head long into the next of the series.

*I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions*

4 very hot stars!!

This book was so not what I expected. It was intense, gritty, sexy-as-hell but no real hating, thankfully.

Hailey comes from a family of fuck-ups and her main goal in life is to not be associated with them. Because of a new family drama, daddy has called in his fix-it team and Cole is back in her life.

She and Cole have a love/hate thing. It's a hot as hell chemistry that makes them want to both rip each other apart and tear each other's clothes off. They try to fight the fire flaring between them, but it's useless. It's inevitable that they get together and the passion is explosive.

Until Hailey wakes up the morning after their night together, turns on the news, and gets the shock of her life.

Helluva cliff hanger! Can't wait to start book two to see what really went down!!!

Hate Fuck – part one
Ainsley Booth
Damn this book had me squirming. Cole works as a protector of the rich and famous, whenever they find themselves caught with their pants down or with a death on their hands they call Cole and his boys and the Reid family is their number one customer. Mr Reid has slept his way across the country and his daughter Taylor is known as the Washington slut and was recently found getting very close and personal with the Vice President. And then theirs Hailey, the curve, beautiful, Reid child who hates her families drama and would prefer to stay at home and knit. And she’s caught Cole’s eye, Hailey secretly wants Cole even though he gets on her nerves. Cole wants Hailey, just as much as Hailey wants him but that’s unprofessional right.....
Cole-
I push her buttons. I want to push them in the good way. Dirty, up-against-the-wall, my-hands-in-her-pants kind of way. But that’s not possible, because I’m dark and she’s light, and we both know it. So I push her buttons in the bad way making her hate me.
Hailey-
If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d ask for Cole Parker to never look at me again, that I’d forget the dark promise in his eyes, and that just once, before he vanished from my life completely, that he’d push me up against a wall and fuck me. Then I’d go was my mouth out with soap.
One sneaky kiss leads to Cole eating Hailey out at the opera and then sex back at Hailey’s place just days later. And just when you think everything’s perfect and Cole and Hailey will be together forever s**t hits the fan. But to be fair Ainsley Booth did warn us
Warning: This is just the start. This doesn’t end well. And it’s going to get worse before it ever gets better.
