Amazing conclusion to the duet!! The story picks up where the first book left off. Georgina and Jasper’s chemistry is off the charts.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
He Hates Me Not is the conclusion of this crazy couple, Jasper and Georgina. I have to say that I read dark romance before and could connect with the story, and love mafia romance. Unfortunately it wasn’t the case here. I expected a little bit more but it lacked depth. Despite this, the unexpected twists in the story kept my attention.
Even if I feel a little disappointed, it doesn’t stop me from reading more of Rina in the future.
I loved this continuation in the Hate & Love Duet, I really enjoyed Jasper and his Petal on their journey together. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved the slight darkness the story had. Isabella and Rina have done a fantastic job for this duet.
I would’ve loved to have more in the epilogue at the end. I just couldn’t get enough of Jasper and Georgie and how great their connection was, as well as with the other characters
4.5 stars
This is book #2 in the series. You will need to read book #1, as it picks up where book ! leaves off.
In this book we continue with Georgina (Georgie) and Jaspers story. Georgie wakes up in Italy, no clues on how she’s come to be tied up in bed.
Jasper has a good heart, although he is not sure how to feel with Georgie, he knows stalking and killing. He has stalked her and now ‘kidnaping’ her. Is it wrong? Well…….maybe…….He knows he can keep her safe, and this is how he knows she will be safe, being tied up in his bed.
Jasper needs to learn to give and receive. Georgie is a strong willed woman. She doesn’t let Jasper get away with things. She has a say in her body also.
There are quite a bit of twists and turns in this book #2. We realize not knowing or understanding is something that needs to be worked on by both parties.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Twisted, Dark, Depraved and a complete mind fuck. He Hates Me Not, the second part of the duet left me as shocked as the first one did. Idk how Rina thinks of these plot twists, seriously mind blown!!! Georgina and Xavier’s story was hot, erotic and filled w so many emotions. Dark to the marrow! Very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed this duet!!

He Hates Me Not is the second book in the duet Hate & Love by Isabella Starling and Rina Kent. I was looking forward to the conclusion of Jasper and Georgina’s story. Theirs was a very dark and tumultuous love-hate relationship. It seems Jasper’s cruelty is just what Petal needs sexually and emotionally. The book had a ton of exciting drama. Blood is spilt. Secrets uncovered. Lots of hard dark sexiness that can only be told by Isabella Starling.
Wow! I couldn’t stop reading this book! It pulled me in the moment I started reading it. I had to know how things ended, and I wasn’t disappointed at all!
Hates Me Not was deliciously dark and captivating. The conclusion in the story of Jasper & Georgina May have started out with infatuation, but by the end of this book I had all the feels. This book was a dark and twisty romance with trigger warnings aplenty, but it was also a love story at the core of it. This was a great conclusion to Georgina & Jasper’s story!
What an emotional ride. Georgina and Jasper’s unique love story is not for the faint of heart. It’s dark and twisted and filled with revenge and blood shed. It was definitely worth the book hangover!
Holy smokes!! I did not even think this duet could get any better!! I was so blown away at how amazing this book is! This whole duet is captivating and mind-blowing! I loved it!!
This was part two of this dark and twisted duet. Jasper and Georgina battle each other and their enemies, while trying to battle their ever growing feelings for each other. His obsession takes things to a new level, even Jasper himself didn’t know he could go this far. Petal finally gains some of the peace she always longed for as a child, but finds she cant have everything she wants and needs by following this path. great conclusion to this story.
Kent and Starling do it again! An emotional conclusion to Jasper and Petal’s story!
This dark romance had me in tears! I loved it! Such intensity. These two characters together are explosive!
I will go back at some point to re-read this duet I enjoyed it so much!
I received an advanced reader copy, and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Wow!! I Absolutely loved the conclusion to the Hate & Love Duet. It’s a dark, gritty, suspenseful storyline with lots of drama, mayhem, angst, a sizzling chemistry, some BDSM and OTT steam. Jasper (Alessio Vitallio) and Petal (Georgina Acosta) bring the delicious vibes that carry the series to the very end. Would I recommend it: Yes, ten times over.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
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.
Jasper is dark ,dangerous a was a killer for the mob and now head of his own Crime Family the last of his line . 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.We loved that Jasper and although he will always be dangerous and dark and dominate he was capable of softness and kindness and love .I believe Petal brought out these qualities within him perhaps made him a touch softer but, I have a feeling he will only ever show this side of himself to her and only her.
This couple had some super hot chemistry and the sex scenes explosive and highly erotic and filled with tons of kink!These author know how to make a reader feel the flames !
Petal aka Pet that is what Jasper aka Alessio found her backbone this time around.We saw her fight back for her freedom but, Petal knows it and so does Jasper she will never truly be free.Petal was one of those characters that were hard to figure out because she was constantly pulling Jasper in and pushing him away at the same time but, there was no question she was just as obsessed with Jasper as he was of her and even though Petal aka Pet will never admit it aloud she is drawn to Jasper’s darkness and the only one to provide the kind of sex/kink that will satisfy them both and fulfilled all Petal’s wicked fantasies.Even though Jasper and Pet’s kink is not my kind of thing I have to say that Jasper had me craving some of that kink myself even only in theory lol….
The story was suspenseful and intriguing and had a cast of great characters that we thoroughly enjoyed.T..Omg ! Omg ! We just loved it !I loved this duo as they did a amazing job drawing us into their web of darkness !
I must say this book was so amazing. Each page had me glued to the story I could not stop reading it. It was so great to see how Georgina and Jasper developed and how they fell for each other. This story is sexy, twisted and action packed with a twist. The steamy scenes were kinky, dominant, possessive, and at some times so passionate . Georgina and Jasper complete each other with their desires and needs the way they know. In the second book, you’ll get to see how their relationship changes as more secrets are revealed. It was the perfect ending for Georgina and Jasper story. If you are into dark stalker and mafia romance stories, this duet is for you!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
An interesting as well as exciting read for the reader.
This book made me fall in love with Rina
Kent and is totally unpredictable. You literally have to expect the unexpected.
This book is the denuement of the duet where everything starts making sense and fits the puzzle.
The conclusion to this duet didn’t disappoint. I have been anxiously awaiting this book to see what was in store for Georgina and Jasper. There was a lot going on and I thought everything turned out great for these characters. Loved this duet and I hope the authors make more books together!
Wow! What I say! What a perfect ending to this duet. To say I love this story is an understatement! This book is simply phenomenal. This dark suspenseful Mafia romance is scintillating and addictive but splendidly good! In this pulse-pounding ride, packed with murder, mystery, drama, suspense, kidnapping, sex that is off-the-chart hot, and twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t! It will be hard to put this down once you get started. With the powerful characters at play, it was thrilling and shocking—I was captivated from start to finish! I wasn’t expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! Jasper and Georgina are full of surprises—It was amazing and my blood was pumping like crazy reading this story. I was captivated from start to finish. I wasn’t expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! The authors exposed the explosive ups and agonizing downs, grounding in its strength and awe inspiring in its depth. Jasper Cain or Alessio Vitallio, the last living heir to the Vitallio Mafia family, had to prove that he could take revenge on the family that brought havoc to himself as well as the other families in Italy. Whereas, Georgina needed something that Jasper could not give her. What couldn’t Jasper give Georgina in order for her to feel whole? This is a thrilling and suspenseful story with lots of action about two battered souls who want revenge and to find who their lost family. Jasper and Georgie have a unique—I love to hate you relationship. Their attraction and chemistry is so intense, alluring and mesmerizing, binding them to one another perfectly. They push and pull through the entire book making you question everything. They will fascinate you and frustrate you at the same time. There are several twists and turns within the story that will tempt the characters in ways they could have never envisioned. Rina Kent and Isabella Starling you did it!! You delivered no holds barred dark romantic Mafia suspense book that grips readers to the core as you unleash an unfiltered, suspenseful, addictive, intriguing, and calculating romance. I would HIGHLY recommend this book/duet!
This was an epic conclusion this duet. These two authors wrapped it up beautifully. This takes off right where He Hates Me ended. Jasper is chasing Georgina/Petal through the forest outside his family’s home. She is now his captive, to do what he pleases, and he does. These two have such a push pull relationship. Jasper wants to own her in every way possible and she wants him to, in all the ways he gives to her. She is at odds with these feelings. Jasper is still intent in his quest for revenge and will stop at nothing to make it come to fruition. Will he do that at the expense of his Petal? This is another outstandingly dark read from these two authors. They both write so beautifully and the story just flows. I have loved all the characters I’ve got to meet, except Lucio, who is one f***** up, psychotic a**. There is usually at least one person that makes you so mad you hate them. He is the proverbial bad guy. This has action, revenge, deceit, hurt and some dark and delicious scenes. I loved how Jasper and Petal both grew during this story. If you like dark reads, this is a great duet you do not want to miss.
“There’s not doubt that Rina and Isabella have a special thing with words. They did it again! What did I just read?! Let me tell you, pure perfection!!! I so desperately wanted to read how things would continue and perfect isn’t enough. Georgina and Jasper’s story was magnificent to read and they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Their constant push and pull was hot and appealing. Their chemistry was something delightful to read. From the first page to the last I was completely engaged. Action, suspense, secrets, twist and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. He Hates Me Not was the perfect conclusion for their story. Also I cannot go without praising my love Jasper. Loving him was somehow complicated but also so easy. If you’re into dark stalker romances this duet is for you and I highly recommend it.”
