Hate to Love You

By: Jennifer Sucevic

Narrated by: Michael Gallagher, Jennifer Blom

From USA Today best-selling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a sexy new stand-alone novel.

Brody McKinnon is Whitmore University's star defenseman destined for NHL greatness. He made a name for himself playing juniors before gracing us with his esteemed presence. As much as it pains me to admit it, he’s exploded at the college level. While other girls fall all over themselves trying to gain his attention, I do my best to steer clear just as I would a particularly nasty case of crabs. For reasons I can't fathom, Brody takes great pleasure in messing with me. And I, in return, enjoy slicing him to ribbons with my razor-sharp tongue. You'd think after three years, he'd learn to keep his distance.

No such luck.

Unfortunately for me, I’m about to experience the worst week of my life. It starts with my ex-boyfriend announcing at a party that I’m a lousy lay. He’s the hockey-playing jerk I dated last year who left a bad taste in my mouth (*eyeroll* seriously…get your mind out of the gutter).

Want to guess who rides in on his trusty white steed to rescue me?

Or should I say, opens his big mouth?

Yep, you guessed it.

Brody freaking McKinnon, the guy I love to hate. He only makes matters worse by telling everyone that we’re together and then punching Reed in the face. The first…I plan on strangling him for. The second…I’m only sorry I didn’t get to Reed first.

Now I’m stuck fake-dating Brody, the one guy who makes me feel like a rabid dog on a choke chain, for the foreseeable future. I guarantee we won’t last more than 72 hours without me killing him.

This is a mature new adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for listeners over the age of 18.

Cute and steamy

These two had great banter and chemistry, plus it’s all my favorite tropes - enemies to lovers, fake dating, hockey romance. The narrations was really good too! I’ll definitely be checking out more audios from this author

Overall enjoyable

Typical story, but above par with the enemies to lovers trope for YA/New Adult genre...this was more YA for my liking. Anyway, the male narration was 4 stars and the female narration was sadly just pushing a 3 star. overall enjoyable.

Love this story

I love this story. I’m a picky reader/ listener when it comes to college romance. I love both MCs. I enjoyed listening to their banter. It’s fun and kinda romantic. I always enjoyed Mr Gallagher narrator. Female was good too. This will definitely listen again. Highly recommend if you like college sports romance

Luv it!!

I loved the narrators for this book and the storyline was great even though it’s not an new story it was well written…

Solid 3 star

The narration was slow. I had to listen at 1.2 speed just to make it sound like they were speaking at a normal pace. The story was cute and sweet. Enjoyable, but not fantastic. I actually stopped at one point and switched to another read before coming back to it. I am glad I didn’t DNF it because it was worth the read and the end was super cute. Would recommend to friends who enjoy sweeter new adult romances.

Ok!

It was ok, a bit bland, not much of a story, but overall entertaining. I had to fast forward at some points in the last chapters but made it to the end.

Good story, awesome performers

If you've read/listened to one Jennifer Sucevic then you've read/listened to them all. Jennifer has a good formula and it's predictable: Girl and Guy meet (usually there is animosity) things happen to force them to get to know each other, Girl and Guy get together and when things start to heat up they break up - almost always because of a misunderstanding. Girl and Guy spend time apart and start to question their reasons for the break up (usually because of the help of a friend) Then Girl and Guy get back together....the epilogue is usually a few years later....then the End. I still give Jennifer credit that she does produce good work...it's just seems a bit...stunted. At the end of the day it's really because I enjoy Michael Gallagher's performance so much is the reason why I keep coming back to Sucevic.

3 starz - worthy of a repeat listen.
