OMG ! this was one intense read.The story drew you right in from the very first chapters and kept you glued to the pages the entire time.I have to say that reading this story made me feel edgy and uncomfortable and if I am being honest scared out of my whits most of the time because Jasper scared the hell out of me right from the onset of meeting him.I could not help but, be drawn to the dark and dangerous man and I can see why Georgina is being drawn to the man as he’s a bit of a mystery but, mostly she craves his dominance and the darkness that housed within him.
Georgina is in a rut in her life every day is the same old boring thing but, after meeting Jasper her life is anything but, because Jasper is utter chaos and the sexy as sin man has gotten under her skin.I loved Georgina she at first seems tamed and timid but, in reality she is a she-cat with claws.
Jasper is dark ,dangerous and killer for the mob but, now you can add stalker to his resume. Georgina aka Petal has gotten under his skin as well and now he is playing a very dangerous of cat and mouse with his prey Petal but, at this point it is anybody’s guess who will come out on top as he is obsessed and protective of her all the while toying with his prey and at the same time plans to take her life at some point when he is done with her but, will he ever be able to be done with her? .That is the million dollar question….
The story was suspenseful and intriguing and had a cast of great characters that we thoroughly enjoyed.This story got off to a wonderful start and I can’t wait to see what happens next.Omg ! Omg ! We just loved it !I loved this duo as they did a amazing job drawing us into their web of darkness !
A very dark read that doesn’t hold back. Its twisted and dives into your deepest, darkest sexual fantasies. I mean sure maybe you can’t realistically see yourself in Georgina’s position. But it definitely had me very intrigued throughout and hungry for more. Jasper is exactly who he says he is and he makes no apologies for it. Georgina displays a facade but hides her true desires. That twist gutted me and I can’t wait for this to continue in part two of this duet. Must read!
This book is seriously dark and twisty!
It’s doesn’t shy away at showing you the inner workings of the characters and their dark secrets and needs. It’s exciting, action packed and full on.
It also ends on a cliffhanger making you need to know what’s to come next!
RIEVTING!!! SPELLBINDING!!!TITILLATING!!! WICKED!! I couldn’t get enough two Queens of dark teaming up to bring us a masterpiece of a book!
I was sucked in from page one I couldn’t but it down!
Kent and Startling deliver a powerful dark romance, chilling in it’s execution with richly drawn characters that will own you body and soul. I couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between the characters was pure delicious wicked fire!
I can’t wait for more! One of my top five read of 2020 hands down!
This is a dark romance type series.
In this book we have Jasper, someone you love to hate or hate to love?
Georgie is classy but sassy. But Georgie has demons of her own.
Even with Jasper as Georgie’s stalker they don’t seem to have a healthy relationship at all. Even though they may seem unconventional they fit like two peas in a pod.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
I knew it!
Run Petal!
I am actually doing a little happy dance
I foresaw part of the twist that waited for our Petal,
The other two major bombs? The ones that laid this story to waste-
Holy Cyclone!!!
Jas is a touch (being nice here) incomplete, for lack of a better word, though in many ways it is the perfect description for him.
Petal is just plain in need of psychiatric help. Not for her “likes” (you’ll see when you get there) but because she just lacks that genetic imperative most humans have – I believe it’s called self-preservation
This was such a twisted read
If you are squeamish or don’t like dub-con might I suggest skipping this one
For those who enjoy the crimson-colored inky darkness
This is a must
It ends on a revelation – not quite a cliff hanger but also it is just the beginning of the next chapter
So much delicious deviancy
Warning: This is a stalker book that is dark, and twisted by anyone’s standards. This is a book that you have to be in the mood for, and ready to have your mind blown!
This is a slow burn that follows Jasper, Assassin, and Georgie as he learns everything about her in order to decide if she is going to be a problem or not. Along the way he develops an obsession with her that doesn’t always fall in her favor. Even with the warning at the beginning this book was good, and will probably be read again by me when I am in the mood for something dark, twisty, and gritty.
So this one happened and I can’t wait to read the next, i just kept reading it once I started great world building, the main characters how they complement each other, all the twist and turns that happens, believe me I didn’t see that one coming and it was marvelous, go grab a copy and thank me later.
Wow!
A new level of dark even for me! There are trigger warnings that should be taken seriously. Although this is DARK, it was so interesting I had to keep reading. It is part one of a duet, so there is a cliffhanger.
Jasper is so very intense, intense that to meet him would be scary even though he is quite handsome. He sees a nurse Georgina and has an unexplained attraction for her. He goes all out to meet her and get to knows her. He does not keep people close.
Georgina has always kept a very low profile. Moving around not keeping many friends. There is something about Jasper that has her wary of him but also madly attracted to him.
Does Jasper hate Georgina or is there something here?
He Hates Me
Book 1 Hate & Love Duet
Isabella Starling
This is a very dark, very intense, captivating, raw, violent, and pure hotness but all so amazing at the same time!! Hold on for a wild crazy ride!
I’m a big fan of Rina Kent and now Isabella Starling!! Warning: This is the first book of a duet so it will have a cliffhanger!! In addition, it is very dark and intense. He Hates Me follows Jasper and Georgina’s story. Jasper is a top notch assassin for the mafia. He becomes obsessed and consumed with Georgie who lives a quiet and solitary life with her cats. Once the two meet their chemistry is explosive!!
I am always amazed how the author manages to create such great worlds for her plots and characters. The characters are even better. I love this male protagonist anti hero, so to speak so so much. I am in love with Jas, there is something so dark and desiring in him you will find yourself drooling. So better watch out, lol. I highly recommend this book. It is dark, it is naughty but oh so right and good.

One thing is for sure, this book fucked with my head.
Heed the trigger warnings for this book. It’s dark, twisted, and definitely not for everyone. While I love dark romance, this wasn’t exactly my kind of dark. But at the same time I still enjoyed the book and kept turning the page to see what would happen.
That being said, if you can get past the triggers to look at the book for what it is, it’s a well written, angsts dark romance book. The book is sprinkled with clues of the secrets that will be revealed and I’m expecting more to come in book 2.
. . .
I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself into with this book as I went in totally blind and I am so glad that I did. Georgina and Jasper’s story is different from books I have read in the past, however I really enjoyed it. As I was reading I had to remind myself that two different authors were writing this book as it was very easy to forget because it flowed seamlessly. I didn’t see the twist, oh wait two HUGE twists that happened practically at the same time, WOW!!! I cannot wait to see how this duet ends.

This book is oh so delicious and will definitely be enjoyed. However, it is also dark so keep that in mind if that bothers you. I can’t wait for the conclusion!!

Holy crap what did I just read? Rina and Isabella have outdone themselves with this twistedly depraved read that will without a doubt leave you questioning your own sexual proclivities. I bow down to the Queens of debauchery, they gave me what I didn’t even know I wanted, and now I desperately need the next book in this Duet because I am dying here.
, ’ ’ .
Jasper and Georgie are more similar than they realize. Jasper can give her what she has been denying herself all these years due to shame. And she can give Jasper what he so desperately needed without even really realizing he needed it. In this way these two are absolutely perfect for each other. Do we have to understand the complete dynamics of their relationship, No. But you cannot deny how well suited they are for each other. Their connection runs soul deep tethering them to each other on a visceral level, and each sexual encounter binds them more and more.
“, .” , . , .
The undeniable chemistry between them is off the charts and so very intense. Their heat and passion are absolutely on the darker side of things and not for everyone. This is where Rina and Isabella have you questioning what you like. Because I’ll be damned to know that I hadn’t thought these things would do it for me. But holy shit they absolutely did. I loved how freeing it was for Georgie to let go and let Jasper do what he does best. It was like an awakening for her, and for him to just accept this part of her and not judge was the best thing to happen to her. I am all about their twisted connection, it feeds my dark soul.
, .
This book is not for the faint of heart it’s wickedly addictive, with an ending that you will not see coming. Rina and Isabella have crafted a tale meant to make you uncomfortable, to break through the boundaries you’ve set for yourself, and let you indulge in something you may never have thought of before. This book will grab you by the throat and won’t let you go until the very last page, and even then, you’ll be desperate for more.
This was reallly good. An amazing, intense and dark read with steamy elements which I devoured! The characters were so intriguing and the story has some unexpected turns and the ending, just wow.
I can highly recommend it!
3/5
I must say this book was interesting to read, I was very very unsure to be honest from the beginning but reading a dark stalker romance book was good, their chemistry is just something else – I literally can’t explain it. Just read this book and you’ll understand what I mean.

Get ready to get fucked up by Jasper Cain.
Holy. Wow. No words!
I went in blind, not knowing what was the plot of the book or what it revolved around. Watching it unfold has been so fcking entertaining I am dying! Jasper Cain gained himself a spot on my forever favorite heroes list. I seldom like heroines but Georgina won me over too.
JASPER Jasper JASPER urgh, I shall chant this name forever.
I have no idea how to explain what happened in words, you guys need to read this book and meet Mr Bingley and Mr Hudson. You’re in for a RIDE.
One of the darkest books I have ever read but so fcking worth it.
Jasper Cain is a hitman working for Lucia Costa who he owes so much of his life to after having Lucia rescue him from growing up without family. One night he sees a woman and instantly he knows he needs to have her for the time being and then will decide whether he kills her or lets her go.
Georgina Hill works as a nurse in the ER and feels like there is someone always watching her. Yet she doesn’t know if she is going crazy or if there is more to it.
Soon Georgina finds herself meeting Jasper and he turns her life upside down and not in a way she was expecting at all. Yet Georgina must figure out if Jasper is her stalker, lover, protector or killer.
Wow!!! This book was so much more than I ever thought possible with some jaw-dropping twists that made me keep reading as fast as I could!
Jasper was such a dark character but you would get glimpses of good in him when it came to protecting Georgina yet he was also so cruel to her and you knew what he was capable of from working for Lucia Costa.
Georgina was a wonderful character who was obviously caring by her job as a nurse but she also valued her privacy and lived a quite solitary life with her cats. She finally gets up the courage to accept a date with Dr Andrew Martin but that ends horribly yet she still agrees to let her co-worker Dinah set her up on a blind date.
There was something about Georgina that Jasper could not let go of and it was jeopardizing his job with Costa as he was supposed to be looking for a mysterious Costa heir named Joseph to eliminate him. The scenes between Georgina and Jasper were incredibly intense and their attraction through the roof but Georgina also had a side to her that I wasn’t expecting and it was one that Jasper completely used to his advantage.
Jasper was still trying to find out what happened to Joseph and his research was leading him towards to Sarah Lisette who did an incredible job hiding Joseph and never let anyone know what she was hiding. I was very mad at what happened to her.
Towards the end of the book there is a HUGE twist that I was not expecting as pieces began to fall into place and I was left with my jaw on the floor!!
The end of the book left me with a possible alliance but I was a little surprised at what Jasper did but at the same time it was the right thing and I can’t wait for the next one!!
