Give me all the tension, all the angst, all of it. I can't recommend this book highly enough, what with all the most indulgent of the tropes (yea, a marriage of convenience AND a past lover, but they aren't the same man?! Swoon, I'm done for.) I honestly had reservations because how could a forced marriage/marriage of convenience storyline fit with RH? Well, it does. Better than I expected. I suspect it has more than a little to do with the stellar writing of these two. Let this book line jump to the top of your TBR and thank me in about 6 hours.

Great start to the series
Honestly, that very first line pulled me right in. Great job, ladies. That whole prologue was *chefs kiss*. Although, reading the final line of the prologue, we all knew that was not going to be the case. We. Knew.
From the excellent prologue, the book just got better. I had adored Tara as a side character in the other books by this author (you do not need to read the other books, but they were good so why not) to enjoy this novel, other characters are briefly mentioned. Anyway, I adored Tara and this book solidified my love for her. She is sassy, she dishes it as good as she gets it and although she is a very strong woman, she does have her weaknesses and insecurities.
As for the men, I enjoyed her budding relationship with all of them. It was heartbreaking to see how her past affected how she reacts to relationships and different aspects of her life.
The ending of the book made me want to throw this book at a few of the characters. One in particular. And maybe something more solid for another. Such a great way to end it and I cannot wait to see how these events, and a redemption story line, will play out.

OMG! This book had me twisted up in knots! Tara is so strong and resilient, and I love that she doesn't take crap from anyone! Nix is such a hard person to read from Tara's POV but deep down he just cares too much about her and ughhh he just needs to pull his head out of where the sun doesn't shine. Rush is so protective, and I love that he always around her and looking out for her. Reilly is probably my favorite because he is so kind and thoughtful and always checking in on Tara to make sure she is alright. Not to mention he is in the steamiest scenes *wink *wink
This story took a dark turn fast and stayed there and now I need book two right now because my heart and brain both exploded during the last chapter, and I can't stop thinking about the giant cliffhanger at the end of the book. I need book two now!

Reverse Harem, multi POV with a sarcastic and sass FMC and her three very different but incredibly hot romanitic interests. Yeah this book was fire. And the smut? Incredible! while surprisingly not wiping out the plot.
If all this sounds like your thing then you HAVE to give this a read.
Tara is the perfect combination of tough and vulnerable and the different relationships she has with Nix, Rush and Cohutta just add a whole other something. I loved that it's not all perfect and easy between her and the guys, they all have really different personalities and I loved seeing the different sides of Tara when she interacts with each. Nix's smugness has them at each others throats and both loving it, Rush's softness has her opening up about things from her past she never thought she'd share with anyone and Cohutta shows her that sometimes attraction is undeniable.
Be warned, this is binge worthy but only the first book with the second not out until Summer 2022 and the cliff hanger? It's brutal (in the best way), it ruined me and now I need the next book immediately!?!

I was really looking forward to this ARC read! This was a fun first book to the start of the Hate series. It's a reverse harem, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, forbidden, and all kinds of goodness!
You really get to know all the characters with the dual POV. Tara is definitely a top tier badass FMC. She is confident in herself, sassy, loves her family deeply, and does not back down when Marnix is being an asshole, which is a lot. That man is infuriating! I adore how sweet Rush is with her and the comfort he gives Tara.
Cohutta's sexy self has my heart out of the three though ❤️
The spicy scenes were

Hate You Forever by Denver Rose
The book is a reverse harem with themes like marriage of convenience, enemies-to-lovers, and bodyguard romance. This is the first book in The Hate series.
The book does come with a trigger warning: " Book contains material only appropriate for 18+. May contain situations or talk concerning abuse, rape, drugs, violence.
All I can say is WOW! Denver knocked this book out of the park! I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I am loving the chemistry between Tara, Marnix, Cohutta, and Rushton. I really enjoyed getting all of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ends on an amazing cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book to be announced!
I would highly recommend this book if you like reverse harms, marriage of convenience, enemies-to-lovers, or bodyguard romances. This is a MUST READ!

WOW. this book has me on edge throughout the whole thing. i’m not usually a marriage of convenience fan but this one was done in a way I was intrigued, maybe it’s because it turns into a more than one lover book, but either way, I really enjoyed it & how it shaped out.
blurb: Tara is to marry Marnix. to say they don’t get along at first would be an understatement. he is infuriating & stubborn. only agreeing to marry this man because she didn’t want to be married off to another. between her husband Marnix, his playful best friend Cohutta & bodyguard Rushton, they all think they can control me, but they will soon learn otherwise.
the fmc, Tara, I loved her character, she was sassy & didn’t take anything from her men. I appreciated the strength in her character & her take no crap attitude.
I also enjoyed the mixture of the men, personality wise, stubborn, determined, funny, brooding, savagery. They all seemed to be perfectly played out to be quite the match for Tara. I am seriously excited for book 2! (coming soon release date TBD)
please check TW before reading as it discusses certain things!
book 1 in series: marriage of convenience, bodyguard, enemies to lovers, husbands bff, RH.
Thank you Denver Rose & Peachy Keens for the ARC!
