HATETOLOVEYOUFINALCOVER2

Hate to Love You by Tijan 

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publication Date: August 28th

Rule #1: No hot guys.
It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of is, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.
No one would know me at college.
Rule #2: No drama.
I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them.
Rule #3: New year. New place. New me.
Right?
Wrong.
And all because of Shay Coleman.
Football captain and quarterback, he was the big guy on campus. The cocky guy in my political science class with a smirk. I hated him on sight . . .
. . . and he was about to break all my rules.

Review by: Flavia 

So this was a bit different to the previous Tijan books I have read. More lighthearted than the angst filled Fallen Crest series we all know. But not a bad different, a good different.

Kennedy thought that starting college would be a change for her, she would finally be able to just be herself and no more of the high school drama and antics, time to start over for her. Make new friends, and just be who she wants to be. So she doesn't tell anyone who her brother is (popular guy on campus) and just acts like a loner and doesn't let anyone in. Which is perfect for her, because if you alone, NO Drama, right!!!

I started college with the plan of befriending one, maybe two people, and I was going to study. I was going places. There would be no boys, no gossiping, no cattiness. I wasn't going to get involved in any drama, and fast-forward a few weeks, and I'm sleeping with the star quarterback... 

But she didn't count on Shay Coleman. Football captain and starting quarterback. Hot guy, (Rule No 1 on her rules, not hot guys) who has the potential to be drama, (Rule no 2, no freaking drama) So easy right, just stay away from him, but Shay challenges her in every way and he is not giving up, and even though she hates it, and she thought that using him for sex (which is all guys are really interested in, right) it couldn't do any harm. But she didn't count on the fact that she might actually like him, that he might actually be just what she needed in her life. And maybe Shay isn't the guy that she actually thought he was?

This was just sex, but a budding actual friendship was starting too. I couldn't lie to myself any longer about that....The wall was down. That was what it was. I was feeling everything. I wasn't protected. one wrong word, one wrong look, and he had the power to hurt me. 

Loved it. As I said not your usual Tijan Drama, but still she knows how to get your attention. And everything about this book, was that. Attention grabber. Drama, Sex, Intrigue and definitely Romance and maybe a little bit of Angst too...

Excerpt:

I was almost grinning from delight as I shoved open the back door. If I hit him, hey, all was fair in the war we were fighting of who could piss each other off the best. It didn’t. He was leaning against the wall, the back of his head resting on the brick, and he looked over to smirk at me. “I want to see your room.” I thrust my hand out. “I’ll take those notes.” That smirk just widened. He patted his bag and pushed off from the wall. “They’re in my email. I need to get on a computer.” He patted my arm and moved past me, heading inside. “I can use yours.” “Hey!” I followed him in. He was looking up the stairs. “Sabrina said you were on the fourth floor. You saw my place. I want to see yours. It’s only fair.” He wasn’t waiting for my go-ahead. He was already up and rounding second floor to third. He’d be at my floor before I could get there. “Stop! I am not okay with this.” He was at the third-floor door. He glanced down with that same goddamn smirk. “Better tell me which room or I’m going to hang out in the hallway.” “Why are you always smirking? Is it permanently attached to your face?” “What room, Clarke?” He was at my hallway door. Fucking hell. I gritted my teeth. “Wait. Just wait. My door automatically locks.” He’d opened the door but let it shut. Waiting as I covered the last set of stairs, I refused to let him see me panting. I stood there, purposely holding my breath until he narrowed his eyes and cocked his head to the side. “Breathe, Clarke. You’re going to pass out.” I almost burped out the small pocket of air I’d been holding. “I hate you so much.” “Yeah, yeah.” He waved that off. “We get it. Eternal damnation in hell, the whole shebang. Whatever.” He nodded to the door. “Stop stalling. I want to see your room.” I was picturing pitchforks and fire. Maybe that was the burning smell he mentioned. It was hell, and all the fire in there. I yanked the door, glaring as I did. “Was this Sabrina’s idea?” “Nope. All mine.” He was right behind me. I could feel his breathing. “She refused to tell me your room number, said I had to call.” My eyes widened at the thought of him coming up by himself, strolling down the hallway, and then knocking on my door. Good Lordy gracious. Too many would’ve seen him at my door. I would’ve been the talk of the dorm. I shuddered, unlocked, and entered my room.
