If You Hate Me Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
A brand new standalone hate-to-love, brother's best friend hockey romance.
My new roommates are two pro hockey players.
First, my f-boy of an older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate).
This was a last resort. No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and man sweat. But here I am, trying to get my life together.
Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan show me exactly how well-deserved his reputation is.

Rix and Tristan were everything. I loved the witty yet wicked barbs flying between them, the tension was palpable. However, I could see the cracks forming and I loved those moments shining through when you could feel the sweetness and playfulness between them. I loved the building feelings they were denying. When that tension between them finally spilled over… just WOW! I've read some hot books before but I swear I smelled smoke when these two got together. Beyond the sex, there was drama, pain, and emotional upheaval as they opened up and shared the issues they were dealing with and I liked how they worked through them. The humor was fantastic and I loved Rix and Tristan’s internal dialogue. This was filled with so many laugh-out-loud moments and I loved them all. I liked that it was dual POVs so I could get inside their heads and truly understand what drove them.
I loved all the characters involved. I love how Rix found a core group of friends and the laughter and support they brought. I loved Tristan's teammates and their camaraderie, and how they brought the wisdom when needed. A lot of people were introduced and I can't wait to see who will get a story. I’m hoping Rix’s brother and Tristan’s best friend Flip gets one, this guy needs to work himself out! I love how their different relationships with Flip factored into the story and the complications it added.
This was a super entertaining and addicting to read. I absolutely loved all the heat but even more than that, I loved Rix and Tristan coming together, opening up and being vulnerable, and getting to their HEA. It was the best!

I loved the push and pull between these two. As hard as they fought it, I loved when they finally caved and gave into their attraction. There was plenty of scorching heat between these two, but also humor, and tender moments that surprised them both. I loved watching their love story develop and grow.
The secondary characters were great, and I hope to see all of them get their own story/HEA. Connor Crais and CJ Bloom did a beautiful job narrating this story. Can't wait for the next book!
This super spicy Hockey Rom-Com has all the feels!!! If unique SPICE isnt your thing, may want to rethink this one. The progression of both MMC and FMC emotional growth was truly gripping- it starts for both characters in their childhoods and how events in their past have shaped/colored how they live their adult lives. Helena really breaks down how they each have & have not processed their past "traumas" (emotional MMC & finical FMC). I loved all the side characters and their unique view points into the main relationship, the new found family/girl tribe for Rix and of course Tristans teammates (to include Rixs brother 🫣). Tristans relationship with his brothers is written so sweetly- he really looks out for his younger brothers. When he planned the private chef date for Rix and really encouraged her to take a risk an turn her cooking and meal prepping passion into a business- ugh couldn't have loved him more.
Grab this if you want a real emotional ride with a HEA and some serious spice and a dash of Rom Com ( you'll never look at most produce the same way again 🥒 😏 )

IF YOU HATE ME was hilarious, heartwarming and jammed full of sizzling spice! Rix and Tristan were such wonderful characters and I had so much fun seeing them go from hate to something much, much deeper…and their chemistry was off the charts! I loved their solo journeys, and also how they complemented each other. I loved seeing Rix become more confident in herself, uncover her passions, and find a sense of belonging...and Tristan. Oh boy! I was right there with Rix when Tristan was on her last nerve, but he won me over hard! It was a delight to see him grow, and I love, love, loooooved seeing him learn to realize his own worth. Gotta love self-aware main characters who know they have to work on themselves! ;)
There truly was so much heart in this story...and it definitely didn't cool the heat down at all. In fact, I'd say this is one of Helena's spiciest books yet and if you haven't perfected your spicy reader poker face...you might want to watch if you decide to read this one in public...especially if the audio is your format of choice! It's a scorcher and you will likely find yourself blushing. ;)
Now onto the rest of the fabulous cast of characters! One of my favourite parts of starting new series from Helena is meeting her delightful cast of characters...and she's once again created the most excellent group of side characters who I desperately want to read about. I loved Rix's growing group of friends, and loooooved all of the Toronto Terror players! If you look around online, you might just spot some hints on what's in store next for this series (*hint hint* look for IF YOU WANT ME)...and I am seriously so excited for what's next! I'm also just so excited for all of the potential in this series, and can't wait until more and more people have read IF YOU HATE ME so we can all discuss who we want to read about next! ;)
Overall, I absolutely loved IF YOU HATE ME! Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favourite tropes and I'm always a fan of brother's best friend...so this was right up my alley! I also adored seeing a sports romance set in Toronto from one of my favourite Canadian authors! It was so fun to see certain Canadianisms...and even hear some of them in the audio version, too. I highly recommend IF YOU HATE ME to anyone who loves spicy rom-coms that are high on the spice scale and pack some delightful heat, especially if you also love hockey romances! This is one that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon and I already can't wait to reread it! ;)
Star Rating:★★★★★
I am so very excited that this series is set in Canada and in Toronto!
Oh and the audiobook of this bad boy is AMAZING. Connor Crais and CJ Bloom ROCK the heck out of it!

When Rix finds herself homeless she temporarily moves in with her brother Flip and his best friend Tristan. Both are NHL players, but she and Tristan have a history of rubbing each other up the wrong way. As they become reacquainted, the verbal spats boil over into something more.
I ADORED this book. It was the perfect enemies-to-lovers spicy sports romance. I loved the pettiness of Tristan and Rix's squabbles in the early chapters (seriously, the drive to pick up her belongings was hilarious). The chemistry between them was INCENDIARY. I think what I loved most about Rix was her agency. She wasn't afraid to call Tristan out when he hit below the belt. Tristan was such a complex character, and even though he occasionally seemed to act a little mean when confronted, his POV definitely helped me to empathise with him. My heart broke for him on so many occasions, and I found myself rooting for both of them to open up. The intimacy was fun, inventive, and... SPICY. I love an MMC with a filthy mouth, and Tristan TRULY excelled with his*. But I also adored his sweeter moments and I loved how understanding and supportive he became once he understood Rix's food insecurities. The 'candy birthday' particularly resonated with me, and I loved that, even though he often struggled to voice his feelings, he showed Rix in other ways. I also loved how Rix stood up to Flip when he inevitably discovered what was going on, and how both Flip and Rix also made Tristan confront his own difficult past.
The supporting characters were all perfectly introduced and felt integral to the overall story. I can't wait to see if my predicted couples come to fruition (I REALLY hope so!) I loved Hemi and Hammer immediately and Tally's innocence was a lot of fun. I also loved meeting Tristan's teammates, especially Roman, and Dallas. It was difficult to like Flip a lot early on, but I got the feeling a lot was going on internally with him, and this was occasionally hinted at, so I look forward to seeing his journey. The team intervention was perfect, and Hollis and Ashish's one-liners were hilarious (c. 22 solidified my love of the team dynamic), and I loved that Roman gave Flip some home truths. The HH universe Easter eggs were perfect.
The final chapters left me flip-flopping between giggling, crying, swooning, and fanning myself. Poor Tristan and the Fuzzy Peaches took me out.
In a market saturated with hockey romances, Helena Hunting shows us how it's supposed to be done. She seamlessly fuses romance, and spicy chemistry with actual hockey knowledge and team camaraderie. No one does it better.

I always love a great series and this one I think I’m gonna like a lot. Rix and Tristan are pure fire whether it’s bickering and fighting or if it’s anywhere they let their temptations free. And when I say anywhere I mean that. There are a ton of very memorable scenes. Especially one with a cucumber.
Tristian is a very damaged mmc and has a lot of walls he keeps up. When Rix suddenly moves in he right away looks at her as someone he has to take care of. He doesn’t like it but even thought he says and thinks this, deep down he is someone that’s going to take care of the people in his life. Rix is always putting others first and the only person she really stands up to for his bad behaviour is Tristian. But she is also someone who doesn’t want others Especially her brother to help support her. She wants and needs to carve out her own path.
But what she needs is someone to notice her and cheer her on and see her. Tristan does that even though it scares him. He may be the guy who hates and is scared of commitment but his reasons aren’t what you think. He expects them to leave and hurt him so his reflex is to close up and push away. It does take some time for both of them to figure things out especially Tristian and they both deny their feeling they have to themselves. I’m the end I’m happy and loved how Tristian started to put in the work and not just with Rix but for himself to be a better person. In the end the redemption he has was perfect for me
