"HATE F*@K (part two)"
by Ainsley Booth

In my review of HATE F*@K (part one), I described the book as "hot, sizzling, somewhat mysterious, scandalous, fully enthralling and an absolute page-turner" - and part two in The Horus Group Series definitely doesn't disappoint either! If anything, it is even hotter, more sizzling, about the same level of mysterious and scandalous, and just as enthralling and as much of a page-turner! 
I just couldn't put it down - it was another sleepless night, thanks to Cole Parker... not that I'd mind. 
At all. (;

Part two starts off where part one had left us hanging - with Hailey Reid trying to figure out if she was nothing but a quick-fuck-alibi for Cole Parker. Things, however, aren't as easy as one-two-three - Cole is stuck working a case for The Horus Group, protecting a client and trying to solve a murder, while Hailey is trying her best not to care and to ignore her much too evident feelings for Cole.
They don't belong in each other's lives - and they're both painfully aware of it...

...but as John Lennon once said, or sang, "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" - so of course, no matter how much they both try, neither one of them can banish the other from their mind. All thoughts keep leading them back to one another - but is it just physical attraction?

Or is there actually more to it?

Maybe even... a lot more?

Let me just put it like this:
One of them will be ready to admit their true feelings for the other a lot sooner than the other one is willing to let down their guard.
I'd be willing to bet your money'd be on the wrong person... and that you'll be falling in love with them right along with them.

Hate Fuck: part two is a really great and incredibly hot read - and I thoroughly enjoyed how many glimpses we got at the other Horus Group members in this installment of the series. They're like a twisted band of brothers, and I'd really like to hang out with all of them!
The book is, however, way too short (pout)! With just about 102 pages (according to amazon), it passes as fast as a novella, but holds as much of a story as a big book would. It will just feel way too short, because it will, just like book one in the series, have you wanting a lot more of Hailey and Cole, and... OH MY GOD. THE CLIFFHANGER! I almost forgot to mention the cliffhanger! (Okay, I admit, I didn't actually really almost forget... but... THE CLIFFHANGER!) If you thought the cliffhanger in part one was bad, wait until you get to the cliffhanger in the end of part two! (Don't you dare to skip to the end of the book just to read the cliffhanger... do yourself a favor and first enjoy all the Cole you get before that!) - The good news is, Hate Fuck: part three is only about a month away.

5/5
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then it's business as usual.

Cole:
I screwed up, but I can fix this.

Hailey:
This can't be fixed.

Part two of a three book serial about a bad-ass alpha male and the curvy woman he can't give up.
