REVIEW – Hate Me Not by Claire Raye

BLURB

Hate Me Not is book two of Alex and Delaney’s duet and book two in the Badger Creek Duet Series. A two-part, angst-filled, enemies to lovers, forced proximity love story. Hate Me must be read before Hate Me Not in order to enjoy the full story.

After surviving an avalanche, Delaney Hayes thought the worst of it was over. Battered and bloody, she finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Terrified for her life, she has no idea that the one person she can’t stand will be the one to save her.

And then there’s Alex Cunningham. Clinging to Delaney as the avalanche struck, he’s determined to keep her safe even if it means surviving in the remote wilderness. His first and only thought is to find shelter even if the thought of being trapped with her is difficult to take.

But as the days turn into weeks, these two enemies must come to terms with their situation, finding comfort in each other when they need it most.


The chemistry between us crackles, igniting and catching fire like the dry logs in the stove. We’re burning so hot we’re bound to combust, but I seriously don’t give a shit.


ARC REVIEW

After how book one, Hate Me, ended I was DYING to know what was going to happen next and this book….I had anxiety after reading the first chapter.

The banter, the push and pull, the tension. All of it was hot. That alone could have easily generated enough heat to keep Alex and Delaney warm! I loved seeing their relationship progress from enemies to friends to more throughout their time together. Despite being in a pretty horrible situation together I think it was exactly what they need to work out everything.

At one point I was worried this story wasn’t going to end how I expected it to, but it is completely worth it in the end and it even made me a little bit emotional. There are also some surprise visitors that pop up and I loved that!

I can’t wait to return to Badger Creek with the next duet!

If you’re looking for a forced proximity, enemies to lovers romance this is one to check out…after reading book one!
