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.

All of the angst and more. These two go through so much heartache individually and together......it's a lot. I enjoyed the story and loved the narration. You'll be crying while listened. I do recommend it though.

The angst!!!! This was absolutely perfect. The story was phenomenal and kept me interested the whole way. Michael Dean and Liam Dicosimo knocked this one out of the park. Loved this so much.

5 stars all around

Michael&Liam did an AMAZIMG job bringing this book alive! I loved this audiobook soooo much!!! Xavi&Nate are one of my favorite book couple. I've read this book twice now, and i loved it just as much if not more than the first time i read it, most likely because i also listened to the audiobook this time. This book had everything i wanted and more. Broken boys?!?! My favorite! 🥹 Enemies to lovers?!?! Yes please! 😈 Spicy/praise with a side of hate s3x? Heck yes!! 🥵 Forced proximity? Um yes! 😍 Character development? You know it! 🤗 Secret pining? Count me in! 🥰 This book had me going threw my emotions, one minute I was sad, angry and crying and the next i was laughing and kicking my feet with joy, maybe even, no definitely, clutching my pearls because holy spicy! These boys are EVERYTHING!! I loved the side characters so much as well. I'm immediately starting book 2. I'm excited to see more of Easton! Also, I NEED CARTER'S BOOK NOW!!! Gimme Gimme!

Love angst and enemies to lovers-These characters certainly have their issues but WOW the heat -whew-excellent writing-However these MC’s are almost caricatures of stereotypical romance+ notice I said almost and that is only if one gives the story a shallow read or a quick listen! Reread at least twice because Bethany understands nuance and uses subtle but effective techniques to ensure these quirky unique young men grow on one- these two end up with a hard earned HEA & even though I find one rather controlling but submissive as well they are loveable! Michael & Liam are perfection in terms of voice acting and made the story both heart wrenching and hilarious!
Flawed but oh so sweet - frustrating but so worth it - 5 stars and not bc of just the writing nor narration but the story was so darn good! Will remember these 2 and read again! The first time I have encountered this writer and am looking for more! Thank You Bethany🧡

This book needs trigger warnings that run a mile long. It was such a great breath of fresh air, considering so many of the MM romance novels I've been reading lately were becoming very cookie-cutter—not this one! There were a roller coaster of emotions that you are just thrown straight into and honetley as soon as I started I couldn't put it down. It was just that good!

Not often I'm left speechless... wow

Like You Hate Me is the first book in the Hawthorne University series. This book is about Xavi and Nate and is told from both of their points of view. Xavi was best friends with Nate's sister Katy. However, something happened to Katy, and Nate takes it out on Xavi.

Now Xavi is living in the same house as Nate. He hates him but also starts to have feelings for him.

So much happens in this book. Both guys go through all the emotions of what happened in the past. Secrets come out. Relationships build. The push and pull of these characters was amazing.

I loved every minute of this book, and can't wait to see what's next in this series!

the story and angst are more than worth it. it's a rough ride, and it hurts, but it's so, so good. great sex, fabulous performance, creative characters, and a genuine good time.

Worth the rough ride

Enemies to lovers is a lot of fun but this one comes with a healthy dose of hurt. Great story and as always for Liam DiCosimo and Michael Dean, fantastic narration.

Hate that I love you
