★★★★! Hate Fuck: Part One, part 2 of 3. Socialite embarks on clandestine affair amidst danger & scandal!
“Restraint is totally the wrong way to go when the man of your dreams is licking your pussy like it’s mad of spun sugar.”
Books should be read in order:
Part 1: Hate Fuck: Part One
Part 2: Hate Fuck: Part Two
Part 3: Hate Fuck: Part Three
In Hate Fuck: Part One intern and socialite Hailey Dashford-Reid’s, after six months of sexual tension bordering of hate succumbed and had a one-night stand with her nemesis, a member of her father’s crisis PR team, ex-Navy SEAL and the co-owner of the Horus Group, Cole Parker. Story detailed events leading up to their indiscretion.
Hate Fuck: Part Two has Cole and Hailey spending time apart while the aftermath part 1’s shocking ending is sorted out. Staying away proves difficult and they soon find themselves having wild sex against walls and furniture, even beds.
But with Hailey’s dysfunctional family and Cole’s need to keep his past and current a secret they are forced to conceal their forbidden affair. This also leaves them vulnerable to scandal and puts a target on their backs in a high-stakes game of Washington politics meet dark forces linked with world dominion.
Eight words to describe Cole Parker: Conflicted, enigmatic, commanding, elusive, possessive, relentless, brooding and charming.
Eight words to describe Hailey Dashford-Reid: Sweet, loyal, insecure, accommodating, meek, caring, smart and independent.
Hate Fuck: Part Two told from dual POVs, offers a bit of everything sexual tension, sizzling sex, scandal, humor, drama and intrigue. This installment felt a bit long-winded in places. It ends with another shocker leading right to part 3, Hate Fuck: Part Three for the conclusion of their story.
Suspenseful plot! Excellent story-telling! Steamy sex in conspicuous places! Entertaining dialogue!

For future reference - Always have a different book to read.
If I did have something else to read while travelling I would DNF this like 2 chapters in. Did not like the characters. And the plot was just a background noise for them to get to the bed.
The plot with Lively might be interesting. Unfortunately, the author rushed the whole thing to the point where it would be way better just to skip the "plot" and make it just about sex.

"You're deep inside me, Hailey. That's all I know. And this scandal will fade away, replaced by something else. And you'll still be inside me."
Cole finds himself involved in one of his client's scandals. He has to keep Hailey out of it for her safety, and this causes tension. Also this ends up keeping them apart for periods of time. I have to say, I didn't like that at all, because the best scenes are between the two of them.
It seems that the Horus group is on a secret mission and damned if I knew what the hell it was until the very end of this one. There were moments when Cole and his team were having discussions and I couldn't figure out who was talking. So not my favorite part of the book!
I did love the schmexy time scenes between Cole and Hailey. I only wished that they had more time together. Cole seems to think he's not good enough for Hailey and I'm not seeing how that is even possible. He just makes the book for me.
The book ends on a huge cliffy, and I think Cole made a big mistake. That's all I can really say. Hoping this series has a phenomenal ending.

No, I've been reading it. Duh.
Then stop judging me kid. These books are hawt.
Pure fun is what they are. Hailey and Cole continue their story and I love the smexy parts.
The actual story parts are not bad either.
Now I need that last part because this sucker left me with a cliffhanger again and a lady boner.
PS. Still not a fan of the titles for these books. They just don't make sense with the content.

** 3-3,5 “You’re deep inside me, Hailey” STARS **
“You don’t think you’re my problem? You don’t get to decide that for me. You can push me away and tell yourself that I’m not YOUR problem. That’s fine. But YOU are MINE. My problem, my concern, my f*cking constant worry because I’m not good enough to be in your bed and at your side, keeping you safe.”
~ COLE
Cole is arrested. And Hailey is his only alibi.
Will he use her to get himself out of the mess? Will she let him if he does?
Cole and Hailey both knew this thing between them had an expiration date when it all started...but how can it end when it feels so much like “forever”?
So why only 3,5 stars?
Cole was perfect, God, he was EVERYTHING...but he just wasn't enough.
I wanted to be surprised. I wanted to feel the excitement of the story and suspence, to feel on edge and wonder what will happen next.
But all I got was a plot-twist I guessed very early in the story so I was yawning the whole time.
.
OVERALL: If you read your romances for the sexy and dominant but also kinda sweet men, then go for it. If you want to be bedazzled by a good plot, don't.

The first part in this series was a fabulous 5 star SEXY read for me. It's true that the second installment didn't reach the same level but 3 stars is still an ok read. Whilst it didn't have the same impact on my book emotions, it provides the necessary information and levels of understanding with regard to the plot and the characters.
I enjoyed the banter between the hero and heroine. The erotic scenarios are absolutely delightful; they're HOT for each other and I was eager to see their relationship develop and thrive.
*The down side for me is that their feelings go from zero to 100 in an instant making the feel of the story slightly over-dramatic at times. In addition, the information surrounding the crime felt unclear and complicated and I found myself questioning the reasons why, in terms of his actions.
Then, out of nowhere the very last page caught my attention and has left me hanging out for the next, and final, part of the series.
Note: **This is the second book in a three part novella serial told from a dual perspective.

4.25 Getting to the Heart Of the Matter Stars
* * * * 1/4 Spoiler Free
There is something to be said for passion... hot, churning in your gut passion. You know this person is wrong for you but you're blinded by the pussy-just like when men are thinking with the little head instead of the big one. Although depending on how the man is built... that head in his pants may be the big one so it will always take over...but I digress...
Cole is having a problem. He cannot get rid of his desire for Hailey. They are having a bit of a hiccup in their romance. Getting pulled in for questioning of a murdered woman will do that to ya...Hailey is up in arms because she is now wrapped up in Cole, too. The good girl wants the bad boy and no matter how hard she tries to be mad or not involved...these two cannot keep their hands off each other.
In between all these developing feelings, The Horus group is doing its thing; working with a very top-secret group...so top-secret... only one of the Horus group can reach out and talk to them. This covert group monitor and step in preventing all kinds of things in the shadows away from the spotlight of government. Their watchdog antics save the world from International turmoil and possible wars....but they'll only intercede if the timing is right.
This is a problem. It seems Hailey's dad has a bad, bad best buddy who is mega-rich and powerful like him and these two uber movers and shakers have a sickening hobby of taking woman, holding them captive under the illusion of going to a beautiful mansion to hobnob with the elite. Only these women end up being more underage girls than women and exposed to sexual acts they do not want to do. In other words, a glamorous hoax and cover for sex slaves for the famous and wealthy.
This is a challenge for Cole. He needs to assist in this investigation, be focused, save the women... but they also must make sure they have all of the evidence to put the leader of this ring away.and do it before Hailey's dad is back visiting this man and partaking in these activities.
So much at stake... and both of these people are falling and falling hard no matter how hard they try to fight it.
This is the middle episode to this series... a bridge to more. In those types of installments, important information must be given to the reader to carry it through to the next part. There is a fine line which must be balanced... give enough but do not bore. I think that was achieved.
What else was achieved was the smokin' hot chemistry between these two, Cole and Hailey. These are characters who like it down and dirty but also have a touch of sweetness when together. The relationship is new, against all odds and both have decided they are going to go for it.
It is just that timing is everything and we now are left with a Major F*@king Cliffy...
Did I know it was coming....yes. Did I have an idea of what exactly was going to happen, yes. Did I care while reading, hell, no, because I was into the story and caught up in the series.
We are promised the 3rd part sometime in April. Forget the Easter Egg Hunt... just let me get my hands on part three.

*** 3,5 *** stars
This one starts where the previous one left off. Cole finds himself mixed in crime scene and Hailey is his only alibi. Will he use her to get out of the trouble or will he try to protect her from getting involved, knowing how much she hates being in the spotlight? Will she let him or will she rather insist herself on helping him? This will cause some tension between Cole and Hailey and we will get angry sexy scene in the office.
Hailey is still uncertain about Cole and whether she should be getting involved with him, but once she gets past her reservations, they are hot and simply nice together. The feelings are involved and they are getting closer to an actual relationship.
Cole includes Hailey in his work only as much as he can. He has to go to Miami in business and doesn't want to leave Hailey behind. They go together and then bam! that bloody cliffhanger, did not see that coming.
I liked the first part much better but this one wasn't bad either. Sure made me interested and wait anxiously for the last part to see how the situation resolves.

"Plus I like the bad boy thing. I didn't know I wanted it until I wanted him, and maybe I only want it because it's him."The Horus group works on some kind of secret case, that involves sex traffic and some very powerful people. There are names mentioned, including Hailey's father, but to be honest I got a little lost along the way and had no idea what they were talking about at times.

Less passion, but still hot.
During the first book, the only thing that Hailey wants is to be left alone. She never created any mess in the first place. She likes her simple life, her simple job and she only wants to keep the cameras away.
So, she will be completely shocked and disappointed when she wakes up the next day after a super wonderful night with Cole and she discovers that she is Cole’s only alibi. Because suddenly her lover is accused for murder and not only this. He is accused for the murder of one of his customer’s wife. A woman that the media insist that he had an affair with. And her husband is a very important man.
Cole’s face is all over the news and Hailey runs straight away to Horus Group, to Cole’s partners and friends to let them know that Cole had spent the night with her.
Thus, in the beginning of the book the tension is shifted to Cole and his whoriness and how now Hailey can help him clear his mess.
During the first part of the book Cole and Hailey will be apart until basically Cole has cleared his name. After that they will be all over each other.
During the second part of the book a new secret that involves her father will be revealed to Hailey. Hailey will not know what is true anymore.
Aaaand there will be another crazy cliffhanger in the end....
I really cannot understand why Cole acted so stupidly. He is supposed to be a badass guy who can think of anything before they actually happen.
Anyway, one less star because of his stupidity.

(ARC provided by author)
Book two begins with Cole Parker the most sought after fixer in Washington in a bind. Our king of crisis management has found himself in a bit of trouble, & is worried how this new scandal he's involved in will affect what he is trying to start with Hailey. He has wanted Hailey Reid for months, & now that he's finally given in to temptation, she's under his skin, & he just wants more!
Hailey had this quiet boring life, and then her dream guy that was only a fantasy becomes her dirtiest secret. Cole Parker is sinfully sexy, and wants her. Since they slept together she can't quit thinking about him.
-Why does he have to be so disgustingly beautiful? All chiseled muscle. And deep in the middle of that perfectly carved chest is a heart. Black and brittle on the outside, but there's a tiny part of him that calls me his.
-I want everything about Cole to have this edge.
-All I can feel is how right it is when he's touching me.
-I'm hooked on him.
Cole & Hailey start to develop real feelings for one another. Their are some issues with trust, & how much Cole can share of his life. He just wants to protect Hailey and also do his job. As usual we get plenty of sexy with this couple, & I can't wait for the next edition in the series as it ended on a cliffy. I look forward to seeing this couple grow even closer.
-Everything about her is hot.
-Hard against soft. Tough against sweet. That's the part that turns me on the most about her. More than how sexy she is, it's her fucking sweetness. I've never had anyone like Hailey in my life before.
-"I am yours," I whisper. "Always."

3.75 where is the hate stars
Hate F*@k: Part Two picked off right where the first left off, and the reality outside her bed is too much for Hailey to accept. Cole wants to keep her innocent, wants to keep her pure and good. He doesn't want his dark to taint her light. They love to fight as much as they love to f*@k. The development of the plot sure was surprising, kinda pushing Cole and Hailey story aside, their happiness relies on Cole finishing his job... but when his two worlds collide, it becomes his worst nightmare.
I have to admit, I was looking for more hate, love angry sex, all the emotion just releasing it's self. There are a lot of fast forwards to move the story along, in a way it's good or else I feel like the plot would over shadow Cole and Hailey even more. But at the same time I wish we had those few extra moments to better understand why Cole feels the way he does about himself. I'm curious to see how this will all play out, things are far from over and a new game has just begun!

Ainsley Booth is a marvelously dirty and devious girl! I love it!
This second installment of the series picks up right in the thick of things and wastes absolutely no time digging even further into mayhem.
Cole's job becomes a much darker element, intruding on his burgeoning relationship with Hailey, who he feels is much too good for him.
Meanwhile, Hailey is questioning her attraction to 'bad boy' Cole. Is it just a physical lust, or is it something more? And how deep will she be pulled into his world?
Cole and Hailey continue to light my ereader on fire! Hot … freakin’ hot, hot, hot! I thought their sexy romp in Part One was panty melting, but Part Two makes that seem tame by comparison. I made the mistake of attempting to read this while at work … let’s just say I was slightly distracted and my blush factor was set to ‘extremely high’ … but oh my, the discomfort was so very worthwhile.
True to the serial nature of the story, the book ends on a pretty steep cliff. But, I trust that the author has a solid plan in place to wrap things up nicely in Part Three. I really can’t wait! If it’s even half as good as I’m anticipating, I will be a very happy girl.

4 Hate F*@K loving Stars
”You’re deep inside me, Hailey. That’s all I know. And this scandal will fade away, replaced by something else. And you’ll still be inside me.”
That sexy piece of man, Cole, is back and ready to rock Hailey’s world. While still keeping her safe and not telling her much about what’s going on, of course. My goal for this review is not to spoil a damn thing (you should be reading this for yourself, folks!) but I’ll do my best to lay my thoughts out regarding Hate F*@k part two.
Hate F*@K part one ended with one hell of a cliffhanger and to be quite honest I just wasn’t sure what to make of Cole. Even though the attraction between these two was hot as hell, I still felt like there was a possibility Cole was using Hailey in order to benefit him and his work. As soon as I jumped into this one Cole’s intentions became clear and I knew he wanted to make Hailey a bigger part of his life. Hailey, on the other hand, has some serious doubts.
I volunteer at a food bank, and in my spare time, I spend too much time on Ravelry. I’m pretty sure Cole spends his spare time cage match fighting and seducing the wives of Washington’s most powerful men. We are nothing alike.
Yes Hailey, he can be a broody asshole on occasion and he won’t tell you a damn thing about himself but he’s YOUR broody asshole. Go get some! Cole does start to show Hailey a much sweeter side of himself as his feelings for her develop. After spending her life dealing with a family she doesn’t understand or trust, it only makes sense Hailey takes a little longer to believe Cole can actually care for her. I absolutely loved the fact that this relationship progressed the way it did and there was no loss of sexual chemistry between these two. We also get a little more info on Cole and his group of “fixers”. I was happy to see this part of the story come into play more, as well as Hailey’s family members and the very real possibility of some f*@ked up shit going down.
The only thing I didn’t quite get and caused me to drop a star was Cole and his sometimes reactions to Hailey. At times they felt too sweet to be coming from this hard ass man and it took me out of the story enough to the point of me noticing it. We didn’t get a whole lot of background on Cole and it felt like he dropped his “alpha” deal with Hailey pretty quickly. Yes, he’s still a badass but he turned into a wee bit of a cuddly kitten with Hailey and there just wasn’t enough development of the relationship between the two for me to fully embrace that.
Despite that minor detail, I still thoroughly enjoyed Hate F*@k part Two and would recommend this series to anyone looking for a little suspense, a little snark and a whole lot of sexual tension and heat. This one ends in a doozy of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.

”You’re deep inside me, Hailey. That’s all I know. And this scandal will fade away, replaced by something else. And you’ll still be inside me.”
That sexy piece of man, Cole, is back and ready to rock Hailey’s world. While still keeping her safe and not telling her much about what’s going on, of course. My goal for this review is not to spoil a damn thing (you should be reading this for yourself, folks!) but I’ll do my best to lay my thoughts out regarding Hate F*@k part two.
Hate F*@K part one ended with one hell of a cliffhanger and to be quite honest I just wasn’t sure what to make of Cole. Even though the attraction between these two was hot as hell, I still felt like there was a possibility Cole was using Hailey in order to benefit him and his work. As soon as I jumped into this one Cole’s intentions became clear and I knew he wanted to make Hailey a bigger part of his life. Hailey, on the other hand, has some serious doubts.

I give up!
Ainsley Booth is a killer when it comes to writing. A killer and I love it!
For such a short read everything slowly starts to unravel piece by piece. And all the pieces are so damn good!
Definitely have a lot to say soon!
You are going to want to check out Part 1 for those that haven't because you are missing out big time!

****4 All About Cole Stars****
(Arc kindly provided by author)
Total Roller Coaster ride of a book. My feelings went from relived, to hot, confused, hot again, then massive swoon, then super, duper hot again...
So Cole...
and reading about Cole and Hailey's interactions, I was like...
There's a whole mystery, solving -crime factor into the story that adds a new thrill to the plot but some of the scenes and the dialogue between Cole and his associates made me a little confused...
Then we get another unexpected cliffy ending and now I'm totally pumped to read the next book...
Hands down my favorite thing about this story is Cole, there are so many layers to his personality and in this second installment we discover a softer side of him and who knew this sexy alpha male could be so sweet and thoughtful? So, I recommend everyone to dive into it and enjoy a slice of total Cole yumminess...
October 2, 2015
Cole & Hailey’s story continues in part two of Hate F@ck and I just can’t bring myself to tell you a single thing about the storyline. Just read it. You will LOVE it.
What I can say, is holy fuck. I’m done. That ending?!
But before we get to the ending we get so many new little teases at the larger picture. The chemistry between Cole and Hailey is scorching hot and might require you to remove your pants. Ainsley Booth is rocking this series. If you love serials you’ll love this. If you’re a reader that isn’t a huge fan of them, read this. It will convert you.
Perfectly paced, enough answers given without tossing too many new questions at you – and this is leading up to be an amazing experience. I can’t even stand the wait till part three.

4.5 F*@king HOT STARS
This second installment in this series was just as amazing as the first and picks up right where it left off. Cole and Hailey have finally given into their desires and while Hailey prepares for the end before anything even gets started, Cole refuses to let her walk.
We get more of a glimpse into Cole's world and the dark and dirty he must deal with. Of course, some of this involves Hailey's father and it's alluded to as to just what a sick depraved SOB he truly is.
Both Hailey and Cole are struggling with their hope of a relationship and a future but neither can figure out how to make their worlds work. Hailey wants to see the good and light in Cole and Cole wants to protect Hailey's purity and sweetness.
OMG, damn, I thought the first book was on fire with the chemistry between Hailey and Cole, but nuh-huh, these two continued to heat up the pages.
And definitely worth a mention...finally the strip pole in Hailey's apartment gets put to good use...
...and that whole entire sequence...
I devoured this in one sitting and damn, I wish there was more. Even though you could see how this was going to end, it was still one hell of a f*@king cliffhanger!
I WANT THE FINAL BOOK!

4.5 Steamy Stars!
Hate F*@k #2 picks up right on the heels of book one. Do not proceed with this review if you've not read the first book as it's spoilery (#SorryNotSorry).
Hailey has seen on the news that Cole was arrested for the murder of a US Senators wife! Further implicating that they had a sorted affair! How can this be true? He was with HER that night
My one huge issue I had with Hailey was this one place in time in the book. She KNOWS he's innocent FFS! Yet she treats him like garbage with zero trust. I know the walls were up for her, protecting her heart, wanting to keep the relationship about the hate and not let feelings get involved but come on!
Anywho, the title of this book can change now. It's no longer a Hate F*@k, but more of an Animalistic F*@k. But I digress...
This book is hawt! I really found myself embracing the new side of Cole. He's quickly realized that he wants more from Hailey than just sex against a wall in an abandoned theater. He knows he's all bad compared to her good, but it doesn't stop him from caving to his urges and knocking once more on her door.
The romantic suspense aspect of the series ramps up more in this installment. I still consider it secondary to the sexy smut filled aspect and I'm good with that. And sexy? Wow. The last 10% was scorching! Cannot wait for the third installment. And yes, another major cliffy. Would you expect anything else? Yah, me neither.

4 - "We're not fucking done." Stars!
Ainsley Booth certainly knows how to keep the suspense running strong and the emotions on high alert when it comes to the serialized novella.
Cole and Hailey return directly where from where we left them at the end of part one. Hailey is trying to come to terms with Cole’s arrest, and Cole is trying to come to terms with his growing feelings for Hailey.
This is definitely the establishing part of their story, and I liked that we got too see a little more of The Horus Group as well, you can tell that Cole has strong bonds with Jason, Tag and Wilson and I hope that the background behind that is revealed more as each of them get their own books/novellas in the future.
”What we have… it’s different.”
You also get to see a softer side to Cole in this installment, Hailey has worked her way through that hard and unforgiving exterior to the man that lives within, I loved his ‘dating’ attempts, and his little gestures towards her. The sex is still off the scale hot, and their deeper exploration of each other in this area, kept this readers pulse extremely elevated!
”I’d rather have you in the middle of the night than not at all.”
You need to read part one, brace yourself for one hell of a cliffy at the end of this part, Cole and Hailey’s story is far from over, in fact we have had the perfect build-up to what promises to be and absolutely engrossing finale!

Although I'd rather be kissing Hailey, I actually do know how to dance. And she's impressed, but so am I, because where I've got some moves, she's got more, and they're good.
HF PT.2 takes place after Cole Parker aka panties destroyer extraordinaire, is accussed of murder and Hailey is his alibi. Things get tricky when dark secrets are about to be revealed, secrets that threatens to involved really powerful people in a sex slaves scandal and that could start possibly World War III.
This one has way more suspense than PT.1 and more action and that was pretty cool because we could have a glimpse of what The Hours normally do and we could also know just how sick Morgan Reid is. I mean, we all know the man is nasty but in book one we didn't have a solid case. Like, I didn't like the man by extention and that was all but this time I can actually say I hate him.
Is there was something I absolutely adored was Wilson, as in could Booth write a book about him? Pretty Please? I found that I want to know more about these guys' personal lives and since I don't know if there are plans for that I'm a bit frustrated. Just a bit.
Now, I fucking loved Cole in this book. I don't know what else to say. I mean, even though shit was so going to hit the fan he wanted to prove himself worthy of Hailey and wanted to do cute things normal couples do and he was very sexy at that. He can do them with me any-damn-time.
About Hailey, uhm, I really liked her in the first book but maybe it was because of the whole WW III thing and all that action took some parts from the story and I couldn't love her that much but she was still this strong, sexy and capable woman and I really loved the pole scene. And the dancing scene.
Their sexual chemestry is awesome and just damn hot!
You could see the end coming but that doesn't mean it wasn't great because it was and it definetely made me want to read the next one now.
And like I said I wish Booth consider to write a spin-off or something about the rest of the team. Man, that be amazing.

Title: Hate F*@k: Part 2
Series: Hate F*@k, #2
Author: Ainsley Booth
Release date: 24th March, 2015
Rating: 3.5-4 “Don’t stop crazy” stars
Cliffhanger: Yes
HEA:
Grr! It's completely frustratingly good how much Ainsley Booth can leave me hanging at the end of these Hate F*@k's and what's more, I'm completely gagging for more.
In this part of the story we witness some role reversal of sorts, the good girl has a bad side and the bad boy does good. I enjoy these morsels of goodness so much I didn't even really mind the resolution to the cliffhanger in part one felt rather rushed. I was much more focused on the development of Cole and Hailey's relationship.
Be prepared for a bugger of a cliffhanger but if you're enjoying these as much as I am, that won't stop you.

I didn't think it was possible but I loved it even more than the first one...it literally blew me away...
If you haven't read the first part then you should definitely pick up Hate Fuck: Part One and read it. This is a three part serial and each book ends with a cliffhanger (except the last one...hopefully :P).
The first part of this book I just kept thinking: It's good...not 5 star good but I could finally get to understand why Cole thinks Hailey it's to good for him and why they are drawn to each other but at the mean time try to push the other one away.
But once I got the half of the book shit hit the fan and everything I though I knew about Cole and his "gang" was blown to pieces. He is not who I thought he was and that was the moment that this book became a 5 stars novel for me.
Cole also gets it through his thick head that he can't live without Hailey anymore and finally admits it to her as well. She on the other hand has a tough time accepting the fact that he has to keep secrets from her put decides that is better to be with him and his secrets that not be with him at all.
Their relationship progresses up to the point that they spend every night together...even if Cole has a secret that can destroy Hailey's life as she knows it. There is also steamy sex but what I loved the most was the fact that Hailey finally puts to good use the pole she has in her living room and gives Cole quite a show :D
And of course the author had to finish this book with a cliffhanger that left me at the edge of my seat and with my mouth hanging open. I mean...wouldn't you be left breathless if the last paragraph in the book was this:
"Hush, baby girl," she whispers as my eyelids flutter shut. "The Master is waiting for you."
Curious?
Well to bad 'cause I'm not going to tell you anything more...I don't want to spoil all the fun :P But you can preorder the book and make sure you have it on March 23 at the link below.

★★★ 3.5 Stars ★★★
Part 2 of Cole and Hailey's story picks up straight from when Cole got arrested.
This instalment focuses more on the ongoing work he is doing for The Horus Group and the investigations that he, Jason, Tag and Wilson are carrying out in order to bring down a sex slave ring.
We see Cole turning soft for Hailey and their relationship deepens and they connect on a more emotional level.
Another great big cliffy, and I am looking forward once again to the next and final book.
Hate F*@k: part three will finish the serial in April 2015.

This one was way better than the first part for me. I enjoyed both characters a lot more and was able to connect with them better. Their chemistry was explosively hot. Loved it! Seriously, Cole is the best and simply irresistible. I liked the suspense in it surrounding the missing girls. Just thoroughly enjoyed this one. I need me some more Cole. Looking forward to reading the next and final part.

LIVE!: Buy Hate Fuck: Part Two Today!
5 "My good girl..." Stars
Once again Ainsley Booth created a novella-length story to rival the likes of her first. She hooked me in book one and now has me panting breathless at the end of book two waiting for more Cole and Hailey.
The scorching passion between these two heats up more than in book one with scenes making you want to meet the elusive Cole Parker. The anger they once felt toward each other becomes clearer in their minds as it's used as a tool for their foreplay rather than their real emotion. Cole protects Hailey from the secrets he has in his life shielding her from darkness in the name of preserving of goodness. Hailey starts to realize those secrets don't matter in the grand scheme of her feelings for Cole because being his good girl means she gets to experience a lot of bad boy from him that's for Hailey only.
Cole's charisma draws me to his character on each and every page showing Booth's natural ability to really write from a man's voice. He has a mystique about him causing Hailey to pause and evaluate what's more important to her than the trust he's asking from her. He gives fully just not everything she asks while battling with his own feelings towards her. They're deep, he just needs to understand what exactly that means for both of them to have a future. The banter and mini fights, the intense passion all stems from this deep seated need to be together even when they can't stand each other.
Told from both of their points of view, Hate Fuck: Part Two is fast, intense, fun, and downright dirty. I'm so thankful to have been introduced to Cole Parker and Hailey Reid - their story is explosive and Booth's easy, fluid writing and fun suspenseful plot building makes it all the better. And of course, that ending! Not at all where I thought she was going with the plot. I love anticipation of not knowing where she's going next and having to hang onto the edge for the next installment. I cannot wait for Part Three to see how the Hate Fuck series will conclude!
Favorite Quote:
"Is this love? If it is, I fucking hate it. It's painful and uncomfortable, distracting and not nearly naked enough."
My 5 Star review of Hate Fuck: Part One:
Part One
April 1, 2015
◄Warning For Mature Audiences 18+►
With a title like Hate Fuck you would expect some Hate Fucking and while the build ups to the actual sex are usually due to some argument in which both Hailey and Cole push each others buttons it is totally a consensual and pretty loving act.
Cole started as a pretty good bad boy but he almost 180s here. He has a bad job but has pretty much decided that he can’t get enough of Hailey and so why fight it after just a little time in this section. He then terns into a pretty lovey dove boyfriend type as he tries to be a man that he thinks Hailey deserves
Hailey is still super easy to like. I feel bad for her that her family is so scandalous and she seems to get dragged in when all she wants to do is live a normal life. But she never seems to throw a pity party so I love that it has all made her stronger. The way the relationship is developing between them is nice and I like that it is really insta-lust but not necessarily insta-love. The sex is pretty hot between them and not too extreme but not exactly vanilla either.
●The Plot:●
Yes there is a plot going on in the background of all the relationship and sexy times. Hailey’s father is not a good man, we already knew that from the suspicion of murder of a call girl six months ago. But that might not be the first time and Mr. Reid is probably caught up in a bigger ring of sex trafficking centered in the Bahamas.
Cole’s ambition is to bust the scandal wide open and have the FBI arrest all the players involved. He wants to protect Hailey from all the dirty things that seem to surround her family but at the same time he needs to put this case behind him if there are ever going to have a future together.
WOW to the cliffy at the ending. I knew it was coming but it hit me pretty hard all the same. Now I’ll just twiddle my thumbs to see how we get to the HEA that I know should be at the end of the stripper pole.

“I asked you not to ignore me for weeks, not hours. You said you might be busy.” I shoot him a smile. “You brought me ice cream within a very reasonable time frame of using me for filthy sex. No worries on staying in my dirty-secret good books, okay?”

Cole lifts my right leg, smoothing his big, rough palm up the back of my calf. “
Stop looking up my skirt,” I grumble.
“Stop wearing bright blue panties that scream ‘rip me off’.”

I’m not giving up on the mission because of Hailey, but I can’t pretend my loyalty isn’t divided. It’s divided as fuck. And if push comes to shove, she wins. I’m not even sure she likes me, unless I’m naked in her bed, and she still wins. She’ll always win, because the only thing I’ve truly believed in in years, is her goddamn earnestness.
WOW to the cliffy at the ending. I knew it was coming but it hit me pretty hard all the same. Now I’ll just twiddle my thumbs to see how we get to the HEA that I know should be at the end of the stripper pole.

There are even more things going on in Part Two. I know the blurb didn't say much and it just feel angsty with that three sentences, but honestly I felt it didn't represent the book itself. There are only some minor angst, but mostly I thought they were such a cute adoring couple in here. Thrown in side-plot of secrets, suspense and political agenda, I was in for a hell of a ride. With just 100 pages, it left me satisfied on every level.
I don't even know why the book is title 'Hate Fuck' because I don't think there is any hate fucking at all. I read Part Two right after Part One, and I did find that Cole's personality had a drastic shift. He was all hardass and asshole in Part One. Now he seems to turn a new left and turn into the kind of guy who buy ice cream for his girl when she is cranky. Lovely much? I'm not complaining, but it definitely takes a minute for me to get use to the new Cole.
I can't wait for the last part of Cole's story. I don't think it will be a finale for the series because I can see that Jason, Tag and Wilson all got their own story to tell.

3,5 Stars!
A much better installment that the first one, this one is improved in many aspects. I'm happy to say that the story is much more intriguing now, stronger and with a better flow.
After such a cliffhanger, you don't know what to expect, there are so many questions floating around and noone knows the real answear. Well Cole really cares about Hailey and everything turns out almost ok, until the next cliffy.
Cole and Hailey get to really know each other and finaly have some semblance of normalcy after all the crazy turmoil of course. They spent some quality time together and did all the sweet couple stuff they both craved for... and that's great. But something is still missing.
There is an emotional triger, somewhere there but i still don't see their chemistry as intense as it's described, they both need to take their time in my opinion. The sex though is great, hot, steamy, wild, perfect.
The end leaves the reader totally dissoriented craving more and shouting WTF? At least that's what happened to me.. Let's see what's in store for Hailey in the third and final book of this series.. Does Cole know anything about what happened? Was it a plan?
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK
- Cole's inner character contradicts with his profile, as a cold, cheating bastard. He is kind and very loveable.
- I don't buy the whole "world stability" arc.
- There is no hate at all between them.
- I love their sex scenes.
- Dual POV.
- Tag and Kendra are probably the next couple.

Pssssst! Netgalley peeps..... It's there :)
Ainsley Booth is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This great erotic series is a pearl in a sea of subpar. She came out of nowhere with Hate F@ck and has kept the momentum going and even surpassed it in book two.
Wildly fun and sensuously engaging, I devoured this read within hours. There’s so much action and mystery layered on top of a couple that hates/loves the pull they feel toward each other. Limits are tested and boundaries are pushed when emotions begin to catch up with what their bodies have been saying all along.
I ain’t even gonna lie. This evil author leaves us on one hell of a cliffhanger! I need part three, like, yesterday. Such good book crack!
5 STARS
