Book review: HATE YOU ALWAYS, by Jennifer Sucevic


Western Wildcats Hockey #1

Ryder & Juliette

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Juliette and Ryder have known each other since early childhood.  Their parents are friends, her brother and Ryder are best friends, and there’s football all around.  Juliette has been a nerd all her life, excelling in her grades, on her way to med school. Not that she’s a senior in college, she decides she needs to live a little before med school so she has a bucket list to check off before getting really serious about her studies.  One day she decided to attend a party, she gets seriously drunk, and Ryder helps her get home.  He sees the list and decides he’ll be the one to help her check out all the items.


Juliette and Ryder are not friends.  Even though they’ve been close due to family, they’ve kept a big breach between them, fighting this horrendous attraction between them.  And now, they’re fighting to keep it from her brother, as they tick off each item in her list.


It’s a lovely book although predictable, both characters are nice, they have super nice steamy moments.  Ryder appears closed off and like he doesn’t like her, but the truth is he liked her too much and was respecting brother code.  Once he decides to break that barrier, all bets are off, and Juliette is in for a ride.  I loved that she was parts gobsmacked that Ryder would want her, and hesitant because she doesn’t feel like a sex bomb that could attract such a popular athlete who has women falling at his feet left and right.


I found Ryder adorable and Juliette nerdy and naive.  She’s book smart but not life smart.  I found it cute that once Ryder got on the program, he really pushed it.  Poor Juliette didn’t know what she was in for.  The story is sweet and cute, not a lot of angst, some fun.

Book review: KARMA’S KISS, by R.S. Grey

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
