Ratings and reviews

This couple can't seem to make up their minds. Their relationship starts with a lie on both sides and comes to light when they are working together. Their little snide remarks and continual griping conversations are wearying at times, but there is humour in snippets. The on/off heat and cold between them changes everything and at times, their individual behaviour makes you want to tell them to get a grip, or to bash their heads together. The cliffhanger ending means there is more to come and perhaps we will get to know the real reasons for their attitudes. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I found the best word to describe Delaney and Alex is ‘explosive’, in a good and a bad meaning. Passionate might even be better ❤️ each with their own sets of baggage, each with the need to love and be loved. And just when I’m finally coming to terms with everything and everyone thoughts 🙄 the Queens of Cliffhangers strike again 🤦🏻‍♀️ I need answers damnit! Bring on Hate Me Not!

Hate Me: Alex & Delaney #1 by Claire Raye is a good, and enjoyable forced proximity hate to love reverse grumpy sunshine enemies to lovers romance read. The story has a great entertaining story line.
