Toxisch, traumatisch, aber irgendwie heiß ❤️🔥?
Keine Ahnung, was ich zu "Like you Hate Me" sagen soll, außer, dass ich eine Minute nach Mitternacht an meinem Geburtstag auch Cupcakes mit einer Kerze haben will 🥰🧁✨️. Ein Vorteil an der Storyline: Die Protagonisten kennen sich und hassen/lieben sich schon lange und es gibt kein Coming Out. Das macht vieles schneller möglich und bringt den Hook für Leser:innen. Kurz und knackig, toller Schreibstil, einige Red Flags, ABER das Herz am rechten Fleck. Und wenn Nate etwas Liebevolles sagt, dann knallt das so richtig ins Herz! Ein toller MM-Romance-Read und ein Stand Alone 🤩🙏🏻.
Ich will gar nicht dass es zu Ende ist…
Es war so schön… so schön voller Hass-Liebe. Einfach wow, ich bin immer noch ganz hingerissen, definitiv eines meiner Highlights dieses Jahr. Es war so nervenaufreibend Xavi dabei zuzusehen wie er immer mehr zerbricht während Nate sich dafür hasst dass er sich doch gegen seinen Willen verliebt und es sich nicht eingestehen will. Es bricht einem das Herz und setzt es gleichzeitig immer wieder zusammen, nur um es dann wieder zu brechen. Ein ständiges auf und ab mit vielen emotionalen Momenten. Das ist definitiv eins dieser Bücher, die ich (schon jetzt) gern noch mal zum ersten Mal lesen würde. Wer auf Enemies to Lovers steht, ist hier 1000% richtig, mehr Hass geht bald nicht. Hier noch der Klappentext: I’ve never hated anyone as much as I hate him. The day my sister died, I told her best friend I never wanted to see him again, and I meant it. I lost her because of him. Everything I used to care about means nothing now because of him. It’s all because of him. So when he shows up on my driveway two years later and tells me he’s moving in with me for his freshman year of college, I kick his ass and tell him to disappear. For good this time. But I already know the defiant little brat’s not gonna listen. He never does. Being near him again makes me crazy. I’m supposed to be the college basketball star my father raised me to be, but now I’m focused on a new game. I’m obsessed with watching him, touching him, breaking him. His body, his head, his heart, anything I can get my hands on… I’m gonna take it all until he’s got nothing left. And even though he knows exactly what I’m doing to him, he’s gonna let me do it anyway.
90% HATE, 100% LOVE.
I remember as i started this book at 10pm, not sure if i like the writing style, the characters, that story at all, something just felt off. And i remember as i finished it, 7h later at 5am, as i couldn’t put this damn thing down fully knowing i have to work at 7am. I just couldn’t. I needed to know everything, the secrets and how they will end up. The drama was all consuming. One of the greatest Enemies to Lovers book i have read, i tell you, 90% of this book is passionate hate and it often put me on edge at how hurtful Nate dealt with Xavi. Literally- I couldn’t even decide if i like Nate half of the book. Man this Guy has some big times anger issues and don’t get me wrong, i totally get it. But i was so sorry for Xavi. I built a deep connection to him, you could feel all his pain, his depression, his lose- This goddamn lose, they both feel, it‘s all you can see under the surface. Xavi’s reason to go to therapy has me choked up, like literally, i hate how wrong it is, but it‘s also something i get, i just get him so well. I‘m not sure their relationship was healthy at all, definitely not at the first half of the book but damn, the spicy scenes were so fucking good and on point, i‘d say 4,5/5🌶️. There are two kinks in it, degrading and praise, for everyone who wants to know. We’ll, i guess i’ve to read some more books by Bethany Winters. I can totally recommend this one but be aware- it has strong potential to be triggering for some people.
My god, what does Bethany put into her books? 😧
I absolutely devoured this book just as fast as I did with “Dirty Love” - I think I might be a bit obsessed with toxic and possessive men hahaha 🥴 Jokes aside though, this book was phenomenal in my opinion. I couldn’t stop reading it and I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. It is a bit more on the heavier side so please check your triggers! It was a lot of a push and pull situation between Nate and Xavi which I thought would get annoying and boring after a while but I really enjoyed it. The plot itself was also super good and interesting. This book made me feel a lot of different emotions and even though they were not always good I loved it nevertheless 😮💨 Nate and Xavi’s relationship takes a while to unfold, which makes sense if you know the circumstances and the fact that Nate hates Xavi since his sister’s death, but I still liked the way their relationship developed! My absolute favourite part though is the fact that Xavi continued to do the things on the “list” Katy wrote before she died throughout this book - it was one of the sweetest most heartwarming but also most heartbreaking things ever! 🥹 If you like books with a hate to love situation and a bit of a heavier story then I would highly recommend this book to you. If you like hate sex and super hot spicy scenes on top of that than this book MUST be your next read! ❤️🔥
Pausiert, weiter gelesen und ,für mich, als nicht gut befunden Update zur Autorin.
Habe das Buch angefangen und nach 50 Seiten pausiert. Die Handlung war mir viel zu schnell,zu oberflächlich. Ich habe parallel das Audiobook gehört und die Sprecher haben mich nicht abgeholt. Gestern das Buch beendet. Für mich blieb die Geschichte oberflächlich. Die Charaktere gefielen mir nicht. Xavi zu unterwürfig, keine Meinung. Das er so fertig gemacht wird hat er nicht verdient. Nate nehme ich seine " ich liebe dich" Geschichte nicht ab. Ich habe keine Verbindung zu den Protagonisten gespürt. Den Spice fand ich auch nicht ansprechend. Ich habe es in Englisch gelesen. Die Schreibweise war einfach zu verstehen. Ich werde wahrscheinlich nichts mehr von der Autorin lesen. Update: ich habe einen weiteren Versuch mit Bethany Winters gewagt. Mit "Dirty Love" konnte sie mich halten.
