Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck

 

Silas:

I'm tired of feeling trapped in my life.

It’s just a never-ending cycle of trying to survive the day.

Luckily, I have Blaine to keep me entertained.

We’re enemies but despite him being everything I hate; I’m addicted to him and the things we do in the dark. Somehow, he’s crept his way under my skin, and I’m obsessed with the way he’s making me feel.

I don’t want to admit I’m falling for him—the golden boy—but he’s my perfect match in every way.

He gives me something I never thought I’d have and, even though we’re impossible, I won't let anyone stand in the way of us.

Blaine:

My life is suffocating me.

Perfect son, star athlete, ideal student. I’m overwhelmed—unraveling at the seams.

Until Silas flips my world on its axis.

My dirty little secret.

He’s my perfect escape from reality. I can let loose and feel good for a change. He makes me feel alive for the first time.

But he’ll always be someone I despise. He’s arrogant, the epitome of a bad boy and yet the longer we do this, the harder it’s becoming to ignore my growing feelings. He’s not what I expected, but he’s exactly what I need.

And now that I’ve had him, I refuse to let him go.

Hateful Love is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, secret romance that centers around the bad boy and the jock and all the things they do in the dark. Mix in some possessive vibes, prying friends, and corrupt politics, and Hateful Love will take you on a wild but bumpy ride.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Silas and Blaine couldn’t be more different. Silas is the bad boy where everyone assumes that he will follow in his dad and brother’s footsteps and end up in jail sooner or later since he is associated with the Aces gang. While Blaine is the golden boy of high school. Appearing perfect in every way. Good grades, football star, and all around great guy. But that is just the outer surface to both of them. Masks to keep everyone away and happy. Silas is getting tired of the life he is in. It’s the same thing every day and he wants more than anything to build a future of his own. And Blaine is drowning every day in the expectations that are weighing him down. It’s so bad, his panic attacks are happening more and more often. He is on the brink of breaking. But there is something that has been brewing between Silas and Blaine for a long time. And while they both think it’s simply hate for one another, it’s just another mask to cover the truth. There is finally a catalyst when a fight that begins and seems like it will end in a punch but instead ends with a kiss. And everything changes after that. It reveals everything they didn’t seem to understand and neither will be the same after. While it may start as the two of them just hooking up just because it turns into so much more. But there is always trouble brewing and if they aren’t careful this new relationship and their hopes for the future will be in danger. I adored this story! So, so good. This enemies-to-lovers story was done so well. You can’t help but love Silas and Blaine and smile at how these two fall in love. Their loyalty and feelings for one another are just so strong. We get some great characters and interesting story lines and I definitely cannot wait for the next book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
