He Hates Me
by Rina Kent, Isabella Starling
2.5 stars. Had Jasper been 15% more affectionate and less cruel towards Georgina this book would've without a doubt rated five stars. The sex was hot enough, which is why I'm not giving it one star, but that the dynamic they had in bed bled over into their every interaction... It was too dark for me. Like, sure, they both get off on a little something extra in the bedroom, that's one thing, but when the guy treats her like shit without it being in an actual mutually enjoyable sexual situation? That's just abuse.
I loved Jasper in the first half of the book because it seemed like his potentially budding feelings for her would turn him more human and maybe he'd become one of those anti-heroes who's an asshole to everyone except the woman he loves, but by the end of the book I'd yet to see one genuinely loving gesture from him. I literally cannot tell you whether he feels anything positive at all for her. Maybe some would say I should've known this book wasn't for me when I read the words "dark romance" but that label is so broad I gotta take a chance now and again.
