What an excellent conclusion to the Hate & Love duet! These two authors have come together to created an engaging and addictive stalker romance that you won’t want to put down. He Hates Me Not picks up shortly after the shocking revelations that were revealed during the previous book and it was easy to become fully immersed in the story. I actually enjoyed this book even more than the pervious one.
Jasper remains both obsessive and possessive of his “Petal” aka Georgina and his depravity knows no bounds. Georgina has many things that she must come to terms with, but she still feels that pull towards him. While maintaining his darkness and controlling nature, Jasper evolved beautifully as an anti-hero and he truly grew on me. I still liked Georgina even if I had trouble connecting to her at times. I think that they worked well together as a couple and I loved the underlying element of suspense. This is a book that flowed well and moved at a great pace and is sure to satisfy readers who love a good dark and twisted stalker / captive romance.
This writing duo has done it again. What did I just read!! I could not get enough, and needed to know just how everything was going to play out. I will say I have been impatiently waiting for this book since I finished the last one. This book is the perfect ending to Georgina and Jasper’s story. The push/pull atmosphere between these two is hotter than ever. I was completely and utterly enthralled from the very first page to the last, and I was left completely satisfied. Yeah I went there. The chemistry is just as hot in these pages, and neither character lost themselves.
All the questions we had at the end of book one are answered. The action, suspense, twists, and turns will have you on the edge of your seat absorbing everything that takes place.
This book was freaking amazing! It was dark, twisted, steamy and everything I’ve come to expect from these amazing author’s. Anyone looking for an amazing dark romance needs to read this duet
This book was everything my blackened heart needed. Delicious levels of darkness that have you questioning what you know, or thought you knew about yourself.
This second book of the duet was darker than part one as it dealt with secrets that were uncovered in book one. Jasper and Georgina had a different relationship in this both physically and emotionally. As much as I loved those 2 because who doesn’t swoon over an Alpha, stalker, anti-hero but I also loved the other parts of the story. It was meticulously written to bring many different actions, secrets and betrayals to an explosive conclusion.
I loved the dark, the sweet (although few), the alpha, the stalker, the other story going on while Jasper and Georgina were falling between love and hate was as captivating as the romance.
I’m hoping this isn’t the last we see of these characters and that these 2 authors will come together again to give us another story about a secondary character or 2.
He Hates me Not is the second part of this duet by Rina Kent and Isabella Sterling. If you’ve read my review for the first part, you know that I wasn’t completely enamored with the way the characters treated each other. In this book, however, we see other shades of Jasper and Georgina and thinks have a different meaning and I liked it way more than the first.
He Hates Me left us with a lot of unanswered questions and with a big cliffhanger. Thankfully, many of these questions got an answer and even if there may seem there is no light at the end of the tunnel, there is.
Both Jasper and Georgina have to face the truth, and it won’t be always easy. But they have each other… right? You need to read to find out.
This story is not only filled with dark romance, but also suspense, action. It’s the perfect read if you want to read something different and truly dark.
To say I’ve been desperate and anxious to get this sequel is an understatment, and it was even more than I wanted. In book one Rina and Isabella gave us an addictive stalker romance but the direction of book two was so unexpected .
Jasper has his Petal exactly where he wants her at his mercy and he has none. Jasper is out for revenge with a need to avenge the past. His obsession with her has only grown stronger and his methods of control are slightly …… unusual. The chemistry these two have is insane, the sex is intense and on the darker spectrum. I loved their interactions it was fascinating to see them come to terms with their feelings for each other. There is alot going on now that Jasper has taken his rightful place in his family. The story is fast paced with twists and characters that I had no idea if they could be trusted which made it an interesting book.
I didn’t think it was possible, but I absolutely fell in love with Jasper even more‼‼ I love him so so much HE HATES ME NOT was the PERFECT conclusion to this duet! I loved each and every word, emotion, EVERYTHING, that was experienced while reading this book. It was a perfect and flawless duet written by two of my favorite authors and I would highly recommend it ‼
An ARC was received in exchange for and honest review!! Thank you!!
“The chase is thrilling. The decimation of the human mind, turning them into creatures of survival just to repeat it all over again isn’t only euphoric but also a turn on.”
Book two starts right where book one ends.. the chase… God, so many aspects of this book were HOT. The sex scenes were pure fire.
This book had love, fire, loss, anger, and betrayal.
“And yet, when I look up at him as his arm surrounds my waist, I feel so utterly safe. Like there isn’t anything in the world that can hurt me as long as I’m with him.”
As soon as you think the two MCs find love, something parts them away from each other and a bit of angst happens.. however, book two ends with and HEA. I promise.
“We used to be on the same battlefield, now we’re not only separated but we’re also out to destroy each other.”
It all felt shortened and a bit rushed. I think I read this one in like two hours with three kids asking me for things every five minutes. However, every chapter kept me going in for more.
I truly enjoyed this story. 4.5/5 stars
This was a great continue to this duet. Rina Kent and Isabella Starling did a great job on it. The plot and characters were stronger than ever. The story was written well. Jasper and Georgina’s journey was a rollercoaster, they had many ups and downs, their story left you on the edge of you seat. It was packed with many feelings, twists, suspense and more. I have enjoyed Georgina and Jasper’s story, it didn’t matter what these two went through, they were meant for each other, they were stronger together. They were drawn to one another. The connection, their chemistry was off the charts. They were just great together.
This was a great story. I’d suggest reading.
Thank you, Rina Kent and Isabella Starling. Great work 🙂
Wow! What can I say about this book. I found this one was a tad bit more mellow compared to the first book but nonetheless still amazing. Jasper is still Jasper with his dark and twisted ways but what really shocked me was Georgie. She seemed to have lost her edge in this book and understandably so. This book had me so caught up in all the words that I was so sad to see that I had finished. The conclusion was everything I could have asked for. The Hate and Love Duet by this amazing duo was dark, delicious and hot the spot! This is a must read!
Can I tell you a secret? No? Yes? Well I’m gonna tell you wether or not you want to! I love Jasper! Yep that’s right I love Jasper and all his moods! Jasper can be my stalker anytime he wants. What an amazing ending to a fabulous duet! I can’t wait to see what Rina comes out with next!
We pick up where Jasper and Georgina left off and of you thought the first book was hot this one is just as hot except Georgina learns more about Jasper and as much as she trys to hate him she starts to fall in love with him. But there’s things that are in the way of her letting her guard down. There’s so much that happens in this book and so much that I want to say but can’t so just do yourself a favor and pick up these books you won’t be sorry!
This was a fast paced addictive stalker romance that had me turning page after page , and hanging on the edge of my seat the whole way through ! This book was packed full of action and steam and I couldn’t put it down till it ended! The chemistry between Jasper and Georgina was off the charts hot ! The fiery intense passion between these two was intense and scorching hot ! This story was deliciously dirty dark and twisted and I couldn’t get enough of it ! Both these authors knocked this stalker romance out of the park and I can only hope we get more from this awesome duo!
*** I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book ***
Been looking forward to this book since reading the first half of what I thought would be an epic duet.
Unfortunately for me I found the second book lacking the detailed storyline that ensnared me in the first book.
I found for me personally it was too focused around the sex side of things, which would be ok if it was important to the story. How many times can he use sex as a weapon..
I stuck with it tho hoping answers would come for the actual storyline. It may just of been the headspace I’m in so I still implore all readers of any tastes to give this duet by fantastic writers a go.
Omg what a great sequel. I love Jasper & Petal together even though how they came together probably isn’t ideal. There chemistry is absolutely amazing and how there story ended was absolutely perfection. Both Jasper & Petal have lost so much and too see them finally get what they both deserved was perfect. Love the characters and really didn’t want there story to end.
5++++ ENDLESS DAISES FOR THIS EPIC CONCLUSION!
I couldn’t have imagined a better ending for these two! This book picked up right where it left off in the first one and every question you had for the first book comes to light in this one.
I loved this second part of the duet even more than the first because imo it truly captured their feelings for one another, especially Jasper, he was perfect With an H like Jasper, it’s hard to imagine anyone else for him. His growth was everything.
My favorite heroes to read about are the ones who choose the h over and over, no matter the circumstances, a full out devotion/obsession and that’s what Jasper was all about. He was all about her and I was ALLLL for that. I was getting so frustrated at times because of internal and external conflicts keeping them from their HEA and certain choices they made. Especially Georgie But that’s the beauty of this story, it kept me captivated and invoked all my emotions from beginning to end. I was yelling at my kindle at one point!
The way Jasper cared for his Petal, wowwww. He was too gone for her. Every insecurity, every depravity, every tear belonged to him. & As possessive as he was, he was also solely hers as she was his! His true weakness. This duo created a twisted, dark world of action, revenge, hate, steamy, kinky romance where you could easily get lost and never wish to return back. Wellll as long as you have your own Jasper 😉 Overall, I more than loved this story. I felt captured by it. Once I started reading, I didn’t want to put this twisted stalker/captive romance down. The story flowed well and moved at a great pace.
This is a dark romance so fair warning for those who need safety info, there are triggers including violence, dubious consent, etc. But no OW/OM drama which I need and love. So, I definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a dark romance with an obsessively possessive dark anti-hero whose sole purpose is his Pet. This is one duet that absolutely NEEDS to be on your MUST READ list. It’s everything you want in a dark romance and so much more.
What a beautiful, intense and tug-of-war ending to this duet. Georgina and Jasper have a Romeo and Juliet type of romance that just devours you and your imagination. It’s a dark romance and involves the life of the Mafia and the underworld of crime. I loved how this book ties all loose ends, answers lots of questions and brings everything together where you really feel the story completes. These authors create a world that makes you think and dream. I really loved the character developments and how their feelings overpower their actions. We get to see how this world has changed for both our main characters and how deep they’re intwined together. That ending gave me the warm and fuzzy feelings and I really feel these authors did justice to the characters and their story. There’s tragedy, romance and adventure. Beautiful duet that will have your heart pumping and your brain thinking… What an amazing story!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL EFFIN’ MESS I AM SHOOK LIKE!!!
Twisted, dark and an absolute MIND FUCK!!!!
Jasper and Georgina’s chemistry was off the charts AGAIN, despite the dubious content I thoroughly enjoyed their relationship. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat and SIGH!!! Amazing. Starling and Kent brought their A Game here.
WOW just WOW. This is the second part in the Hate & Love Duet, it is not a standalone. This book is dark and twisted and not for the faint hearted, it is not your typical love story This one picks up right where He Hates Me left off Georgina running for her life naked in the woods and Jasper chasing her. If you thought Jaspers obsession with Georgina was bad in book one you haven’t seen anything yet.
This book has you at the edge of your seat at every turn you will keep needing to turn the page and wanting to know what is going on, you won’t want to put it down until the very last page. This book is hot as sin and also and dark and twisted as a black hole lol it is a amazing roller coaster of a ride from start to end and i know you will not be disappointed.
Once again these two authors created a page turner of a duet, that ended perfectly. If you like Mafia and dark and twisted with alot of heat this is your book.
Will Jasper and his Petal have a happy ending or will she finally escape him, or will outside forces pull them apart well if you want to know you need to read this duet, of a stalker and his prey..
This is the conclusion of Jasper and Petal’s story. You do need to read book one first to have complete understanding and to get the whole story. I thought that this was a good book and overall I enjoyed both entries in this series. I am still kind of on the fence about the characters. These two each have intense extremes that I feel will either click with you as a reader or not. The story is very gripping, is filled with deep, raw emotions, suspense, violence, drama, action and steam. Definitely not for every reader but if you embrace the dark, love having boundaries pushed and have no worries about triggers, this book and this series is well worth reading. This is my sincere, volitional review.
Another 5 star read from from Rina that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. What an amazing sequel.
