#Hater ~ Review

Welcome to the #HashtagSeries by Cambria Hebert

#Hater ~ The Hashtag Series #2 
by Cambria Hebert 

Publication Date: January 12, 2015 
It started with unspoken animosity. The bitter bite of jealousy. And now its full blown hate.
It was during my first football game that I first felt the first chill of hate. I looked it right in the eyes and felt its sticky tentacles reach out for me. I’d never experienced something so cold and empty before.

The effect of that look lingered, like an unspoken promise, long after it was gone.

Becoming a couple – becoming the other half of a campus celebrity wasn’t easy. I let down walls guarding my heart and he looked past my glasses and accident prone tendencies. Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd and a jock. But we made it.

And we’re happy.

Zach doesn’t want us to be happy. He wants Romeo to pay for getting him kicked out of Omega and for the night he spent in jail. He’s going to use anything and everything he can to get his revenge. Including me.

As the weather on campus grows cold and the days become dark, revenge becomes the center of someone’s life and the happiness Romeo and I worked so hard for is threatened.

I can’t help but worry that our love is going to be overshadowed by hate.

There are so many things I enjoyed about this book that it's hard to decide where to start, what to leave out, & #HotDamn I just love it! I rarely speak of book hangovers as I normally jump from one book to the next, but this book truly qualified as it took me a bit to get my emotions back in check. There is just so much going on taking us from sweet intimate moments to suspenseful crazy stalker moments to #OMGdidthatreallyjusthappen moments! 

I will admit that I went into this book without reading #Nerd first, & I am still totally in love with the "freaks" that are Nerd Girl & Romeo! Their personalities, their jokes, & their choices sold me while their fears, their honesty, & their actions won my heart! One of very favorite things has to be the Alpha Buzzfeed hashtag intros to each chapter! Some had me laughing so hard & others had me wanting to hunt down the #BuzzBoss. 

Now I need to know #WhoTheHellsThisBuzzBoss!?!

To sum it up ... #HashtagSeriesRocks & if you are unsure who your next book boyfriend shall be I vote for #TeamRomeo!

Now PLEASE give us #Player & #Selfie ASAP!

The distance between us was getting wider. 

She thought I would just drive her back to campus, that I would just let her walk away mad. 

Hell to the no. 

I still remembered the night she got out of the Hellcat and walked away from me. The night I had to tell her getting close to her had only been a bet. The hurt in her eyes still cut me to the core. 

I didn’t want a repeat of that night. Not ever again. 

Zach had been the cause of that night, and he was pretty much the cause of the space between us now. 

He was a hater. Plain and simple. 

I couldn’t. I wouldn’t let the hate he spewed so willingly overshadow everything I had with Rimmel. I agreed with my dad. 

She was a keeper. 

Her hand was stiff as I pulled her along toward my place, but she still allowed me to lead her. When we got close to the pool, she moved closer to my side, and I angled my body in front of her to block the sight. 

Once inside, we didn’t speak. She took off her heels and coat, and I went to turn on the fire in the bedroom. When I came back, she was crouched down in the living room, petting Murphy, who was zigzagging around her feet. 

“You took pictures of me when I was sleeping.” Her voice was calm and quiet, but it filled the room. 

“Yeah, I did.” I wasn’t going to apologize for that. Deep down, I must have known things might come to this. I was a lawyer’s son after all. I knew things needed to be documented. 

“You could have just asked.” She straightened up from Murphy and looked at me. “Instead, you took advantage of me and never said a word.” 

“I didn’t take advantage of you. I was just doing what I thought was best.” 

“Well, you don’t get to decide what’s best for me!” Her voice rose, and Murphy paused in purring to look up at her. 

“I don’t get a say?” I shot back, trying to hold on to my temper. 

She took a deep breath. “Of course you do. But you didn’t say anything. You just did. Just like at dinner. You just announced I was getting a restraining order. There was no conversation.” 

I opened my mouth, but she kept talking. 

“How am I supposed to trust you when you do things like this without me knowing?” 

“You don’t trust me anymore?” I said the words with quiet calm. Surely this wasn’t enough to ruin the trust between us. 

She blew out a breath and paced across the room. “I didn’t say that.” She spun away from me and looked at the wall. “I’m just upset.” 

I strode across the room. It was darker where she was. The lights were off in here, and from this position in the room, the crackling fire in the bedroom didn’t cast much light. 

My feet stopped when I was directly behind her. Usually, I would touch her without thought. But right then I paused. 

Fuck. That. 

I wrapped my hands around her wrists, then loosened my grip to slide my palms up her arms to rest at her shoulders. I felt her exhale, and I wrapped one of my arms across her chest and pulled her back against my front. 

“I could tell you I’m sorry,” I whispered in her ear. “I could whisper how much I love you and that I won’t ever do something like this again.” 

The back of her head hit my chest as I spoke. The silky strands of her perfectly straight hair tickled my lips as I talked, and the scent of her shampoo enticed me closer. 

“But I’m not going to apologize.” 

She stiffened, but I strengthened my hold, unwilling to let her pull away. I kept my voice whisper soft and my lips right beside her ear. 

“I’d do it again, in a friggin’ heartbeat if that’s what I thought you needed.”
