Make Me Hate You by Kandi SteinerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jasmine has spent her life looking for someone to love her and when her mother leave’s her behind she looks for comfort from her best friend Morgan. Only she isn’t there and ends up getting more than she bargained for from Morgan’s brother Tyler – only for him to reject her as well. In the present, Jasmine is back for Morgan’s wedding and doing all she can to fulfil her maid of honour duties, still fighting the feelings she had for Tyler. They both are in relationships, but that pull toward one another is always there.
Jasmine and Tyler’s story was not an easy one. They had issues from their pasts that they needed to work through together to understand what they had lost. The intensity between them was constant and lines were blurred. I felt as adults they did almost all they could and put their hearts on the line. It wasn’t an easy ride for them and I had hope they could find their way back to one another.

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.
