Make Me Hate You by Kandi Steiner - Release Blitz & ARC Review


"This is a return to the Kandi Steiner of 2016 who brought us Weightless and A Love Letter to Whiskey. Prepare for the burn." -- Author Sarah E. Green

Make Me Hate You, an angsty, emotional stand-alone romance from bestselling author, Kandi Steiner,is LIVE!

If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.
Every sip of air is shallow and burning, because in the arms of my best friend’s brother, I’m the closest I’ve ever been to sin.
His eyes flick to my lips, and I remember the first time I tasted him, seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I remember the pain when he rejected me, when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches, and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder.
I’m not his to kiss, and he’s not mine.
I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try.
He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.
Now, hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding, I’m in his arms, begging him to make me hate him, knowing he never could.
If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.
And I’ll take him down with me.
Make Me Hate You is a best friend's brother romance that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.


Wow.

I connected with the characters in this book, with the lengths that both Jasmine and Tyler were willing to go to in order to put their past into the past, where they had decided it belonged.

I relate to thinking that things in the past aren't always better if they are re-examined in the present.

But, sometimes the things we left in the past aren't finished and you need to look at them again...and this book, it was about what happens when life (or your best friend's wedding) happen and make it time to come face to face with the past you have been avoiding.

I felt for the characters in this story, the places they were at in their lives, and the emotions that were reawakened when they saw one another again.

This book was raw, it was emotional, I am not able to talk about details without spoiling, and I enjoyed and recommend it.
