With how book one’s cliffhanger left off, I knew that we would be met with drama and excitement right from the start of Hate Me Not, and did we ever! This book starts intense right from chapter one, my heart broke for these two and I could feel the stress right along with them.
I loved Alex and Delaney in Hate Me, but I was just blown away by them even more in this book!
I enjoyed getting to see the more vulnerable side of them both, but also the strength they both had.
They have this intense connection and pull for one another, something neither of them truly knew what to do about, but throughout the book this was amplified which made for a fantastic story! Alex and Delaney make a wonderful pair, and just might be exactly what the other needs.
I love when Alex’s true personality shines through, so sweet, vulnerable and swoony but still holding something back. Both are hiding things that may just keep them from being all in with a relationship. The strength and care we see from Delaney was beautiful, I loved reading as they both worked together to overcame everything that was thrown at them, especially the moments of raw emotion they displayed.
Being in this situation forces them to deal with what happened between them, but will it be enough? What will the outcome of all the tender moments and talking be and can their survival partnership last and even turn into more?
I couldn’t put this one down. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, (and loved it!) with each new obstacle they faced, the arguments, the banter, the flirting, the sweet moments and the chemistry!
With all the emotion this book puts you through, it had the great addition of laughs that had me smilingly and chuckling all while pulling at my heart strings.
I am looking forward to heading back to Badger Creek as the series continues, and maybe even a few more surprise cameos! I highly recommend this duet!

Well, I’m not even sure we’ve emotionally recovered from the ending of the first book so I couldn’t put it down because I had to know what happened. By some miracle, Alex and Delaney survive the avalanche and are just trying to survive in the wilderness. Many times throughout this book I was terrified that the authors were going to kill one of them off and I wouldn’t recover from that loss. So not only did I have to ensure no one died, these characters go through emotional turmoil while unpacking all their trauma and being uncomfortable with have to address all the things that went wrong in the weeks leading up to the avalanche. Lots of feelings around love, forgiveness and empathy all set in a life or death situation. I can’t wait to see these characters again as the series continues!

The conclusion to Alex and Delaney’s story was so good. The majority of the book was spent in the wilderness trying to survive after the avalanche came crashing down on them at the end of the first book.
I loved the survival scenes, gave me some nice Hatchet flashbacks from middle school and I throughly enjoyed that. Alex and Delaney are stranded in a cabin, where they continue to adapt to their situation for who knows how long. During this time, they reconnect, and really start to realize the extent of their feelings. However, they are still stranded and placed in a life or death situation, so there are still a ton of twists and turns as you finish their story!
