Make Me Hate You A Best Friend's Brother Romance

Kandi Steiner — 2020

If he kisses me right now, I'll drown. Every sip of air is shallow and burning, because in the arms of my best friend's brother, I'm the closest I've ever been to sin. His eyes flick to my lips, and I remember the first time I tasted him, seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I remember the pain when he rejected me, when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches, and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder.I'm not his to kiss, and he's not mine. I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister's wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can't avoid him, no matter how hard I try. He's always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface. Now, hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding, I'm in his arms, begging him to make me hate him, knowing he never could. If he kisses me right now, I'll drown. And I'll take him down with me.

Brother's best friend cliche. Writing was very mediocre. I also do not condone cheating, so I did not enjoy it.

This book was easy and heartfelt. The two main characters were messy and complicated, but the resolution at the end of the book was nice. The epilogue was not my favorite, as the point of view switched from Jasmine's to Tyler's randomly. I also didn't love the surprise pregnancy in the epilogue and was hoping that the couple would get the chance to be their own independent entity outside of parenthood. Overall, I liked the writing but probably wouldn't read again.

[image error] This is a beautifully told friends to enemies to lovers story. Jasmine was hurt once by Tyler, and led to believe what happened between them was a mistake. She vowed to never let him break down her walls again. She moved away and ignored his existence until her best friend called her home to plan her wedding... Jasmine swallows her pride to be there for her best friend, but it proves difficult to keep her walls up from the person who hurt her all those years ago, since it's her best friend's brother. There are a lot of ups and downs and I don't agree with all the decisions this couple made, however, I loved seeing their chemistry and the way their relationship was pulled together. This story made me shed a few tears and I was heartbroken with the characters. A beautiful story! Jasmine and Tyler will stay with me for a while ❤️.

Quick and angst-filled! If you're looking for a quick steamy romance with a ton of angst and a bit of a slow burn, this is the book for you! I enjoyed it for the simple angsty romance I was looking for. This one doesn't have much character development, but I enjoyed the drama and the writing.
