King Family #1
Hate Nothing
I watch him. Admire him. Want to be like him.
The problem is, he’s my father’s biggest competition on the racetrack.
I want him to mentor me, to teach me not just to ride, but to race.
The other problem? I’m a girl.
There’s never been a female racer on the circuit before.
But I’m about to change that.
I’m about to prove, not just to him and my father but the entire world, that I’m just as fast and badass as them.
My final problem? I’m beginning to fall for him.
In fact, I hate nothing about him.
And that scares the shit out of me.

3 stars.
Poppy wants to ride motorcycles, but her father doesn't allow it, so she goes to Zander to train her.
She's fourteen years old, after two years training secretly, she fells and end up in the hospital.
Her father fire Zander and he goes to Ducati.
Two years after, when Poppy is 18 years old, she goes to Zander again.
The story is ok, I was so curious with this one, after reading
, I wanted to know more, so I have to read King family.I'm so disappointed.
There's some really good stuff in here, but the dialogues are childish, I can't understand (ok, she's 18, but he's 28, and where you call your boyfriend "dude"? Maybe in surfing language? This is motorcycle races, dude).
But the fart scenes are repulsive, omg, where did it come from?
The story could be good, but the writing...
Well, I'm going to read the trilogy, because is the third that, supposedly, origins DEZ, and hoping Lindsay matured the writing and the next will be better...

At 31% I read this : "I’m enjoying the quiet of the moment, relaxing with him like this, when I smell something. “Oh my gosh, did you just fart?!” I ask, sitting up. His face is ridiculous as he tries to hold in his laughter because, clearly, he has no shame. “You are disgusting!”
“I had to fart, but I didn’t want to stop holding you,” he says. And if it didn’t smell like rotten broccoli, I might even think it was sweet, but no. Just, no.
“Dude! We just had amazing, life-changing sex. I’m still in my freaking euphoria, and you fart the most foul-smelling gas ever. What is wrong with you?” I ask, covering my nose with the sheet to shield myself from it. “Seriously, did an animal die inside of you?”
A a a a a ant I'm out. Bye!

Zander freaking Macallan!! There really is nothing to hate about this guy. When you're first introduced to him in previous books he seems cocky and a player, always ready for a good time. You get to see a completely different side to him in Hate Nothing. I'm claiming him, he's mine!
Poppy doesn't disappoint either. You expect a child of Benton and Tatum to be full of sass and spunk, which she is. She's also fierce, independent and determined. The fact that she can be all that and still be kind and sexy is icing on the cake.
This book will sweep you off your feet and keep you begging to go faster. A must read! I would highly suggest reading the Always series prior to this though.

I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review
I absolutely loved this book! Hate Nothing is a part of the Always series but can be read as a stand-alone. All the characters are amazing but Zander Macallan...phew! He's something special. He is the man us women fantasize about. This book was so well written and gave me all the feels. As soon as i started it, i couldn't put it down. If u haven't read anything by Lindsay Becs, Hate Nothing would be a great place to start. And if u have read her, then u already know that u will not be disappointed. This may even be your favorite book!

Omgggg. She don't play! I loved this new series beginning but also continuing the King family racing. We were kinda left with a cliffhanger when we got to the end of Penny and Jesse's book and now we've come full circle and get Zander and Poppy's story. Which i loved it was good! Slight age gap. With a twist i kinda didnt see coming but i couldn't help but love it when it all came out. I'm super excited for the other siblings book, Ruby's being the most.

I hate nothing about this book.
What does it take to make it in a man’s world? Just ask Poppy King… “Today is the day I’m going to make my move to change everything, and no one will see me coming.”
Poppy is fierce, sassy, strong and ready to dominate and Zander is what every girls dreams are made of! Their story was mesmerizing and sweet delicious torture. It has everything you could want and more...hilarious laugh out loud moments,some super sweet swoon worthy ones, and it brought some serious heat.
This is the first book in The King Family Novels. And if the best it yet to come, then OH MY! We’re in for a heck of a ride! A MUST READ!

Poppy is a strong willed bad ass that I wish I was! Shes a hot biker chick and is a lot like her mother Tatum with some sass and goes for what she wants.
Zander is this sexy biker guy who is on the rivial team from poppy and her dad (Benton who is hot AF) so naturally they belong together right!
I am hating nothing about getting to know this family and also hate nothing about Lindsay becs writting! Her books always make me feel emotions I don't often feel.

I freaking suck at reviews because I can never fully express how I feel about the story so bear with me. Lindsay Becs never fails to produce incredible stories with characters who jump of the page and nestle themselves in your lives.
By the time you're done, you feel like you made new friends, and agree or disagree with some of their choices, you accept them for who they are in the end.
Incredible story!

This book was fabulous! I had never read this author and I am so glad I found the story of Zander and Poppy. Hate Nothing was as fast paced as the motorcycle races that set the background for this book. There was so much that happened, yet nothing felt rushed. I got all the feels as I watched a young girl grow into womanhood while chasing an almost impossible dream. I teared up reading the story of a young boy with a traumatic childhood who not only lived his dream, but got to share it with his loves. This was a heartwarming story of dedication, mistakes and redemption. I loved it or maybe I should say.... I hate nothing about this love story. ❤️

Poppy is fearless, fun and fiery. She is determined to continue the family's legacy and race so now that she is 18 nothing is going to stand in her way, not even her parents. She knows just the man to train her but after their past experience it may take a little convincing.
Xander is a successful racer who briefly trained Poppy when she was a teenager until an accident resulted in him being fired. He knows that he should be keeping his distance both personally and professionally but that is easier said than done.
These two couldn’t be more perfect together. They share a love of racing, but it is the way they support each other that is inspiring to watch. Filled with heat, humor and heart Poppy and Xander’s story is a ride you won’t soon forget.

This story completely floored me. Lindsay Becs, throughput every book of the Always Series and now this spin off, continues to astound me with her words and completely tugged at my emotions several times. She definitely has a way with hitting everything in you. To say I ever put it down would be a lie. I COULD NOT put it down!!
I fell in love with every part of this story. From the emotion behind the letters, to the age gap, to the feelings and twists in this story, you are left wanting to throw your kindle to being all good with Lindsay Becs again.
Zander and poppy have been through a lot. We were left with a cliffhanger at the end of the previous book and we finally get the continuation of their amazing love story. It is one that contains many twists and turns and truly emotional parts. The love and devotion, the forbidden age gap (small), they all add up to one amazing story that will make you love this author that much more!!

Holy crap on a freaking cracker! This book was absolute perfect. Now, I love Lindsay and EVERYTHING she's written, but I swear she just gets better and better. I was ready and waiting for Poppy and the added bonus of Zander made it such a sweeter wait.
Lindsay really knows how to kick off a series. The opener to this book was super dramatic and pulled at the heart strings. I loved how the entire family was there for Poppy and we got our first taste of her and Zander together. Fast-forward to present and holy cow, 18 YEAR OLD POPPY!! This was so awesome. I loved how she became her father in female form. This was very much, "I am female, hear me roar" and I LOVED THAT!!! The empowerment that Poppy had as a woman was fantastic. She was so determined to let her sex not hold her back from anything!
Then we have Zander, his view of freshly adult Poppy is hysterical! I love how men react when women grow into themselves. This particular one moment was priceless! Even better, I love how Poppy didn't let anything hold her back. Zander was the perfect teacher for her too. These two were quote the dynamic duo.
Now I can't talk about this book and not talk about Penny and Benton. I loved the glimpses we got of these two. Benton as a father was everything I was hoping he'd be and even more charismatic than I remembered! And Penny, oh my Lucky Penny, I love how much she was there for Penny. We got some really interesting insights to the family with this book. Really took us back to Lindsay's core of how important family is.
And then we had Zander's family. His family really took us for some crazy looks and I loved it. He had the perfect amount of mystery to him and constant surprises. He brought us what we really needed to this book. He added the perfect amount of layers, twists and turns that made this book everything it was!
I can't wait to see where Lindsay takes us next with the King family!! We didn't get to see too much of Poppy's siblings, BUT I CAN'T WAIT!

Poppy and Zander... this book has so much chemistry, so much feels, so much goodness in it. If you haven’t read a Lindsay Becs book I by far recommend that you devour everything that she’s ever written and this book begins a whole new direction for this family.
You have seen a glimpse of Zander In previous books because he races for King Racing but in this book you get the raw, in depth of who he is and once he sets his eyes on Poppy he knows it’s wrong for all the right reasons, but yet there’s something about this girl that he literally just can’t stop...
Stop what you ask?! You’re just going to have to open this amazing read to find out. I promise you one thing. YOU...WILL... NOT... BE...DISAPPOINTED❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

After the accident Benton & Tatum learn Poppy was sneaking around training with Zander. Lindsay has had me hooked since Always - I love these characters and live for what’s next in their story. I was heartbroken after the conversation of the future and babies, her confession shattered me heart for her. Can I just say that I love Harry?!?

5 This book is everything Stars!!! OMG... Just go one click this book now!

This is the first book in Lindsay's next series off the Always Series, and I absolutely loved it! Right from the start I was sucked into the story of Zander and Poppy. These two both had their own struggles and challenges to face and overcome. One knew what they wanted and the other was avoiding it and in the end the other helps them realize what they really wanted in life. As usual we have our surprises and twists that come up in the book that literally keep you on the edge of your seat! I cannot wait for the next book to come out in this new series!

Sometimes fate drops your person right in front of you, but the timing sucks and you have to wait for your moment. Such is Poppy and Zander's story. Poppy and Zander are a great couple that have to go through several trials to finally getting to a place to move forward to. Zander, is 10 years older with a past that is so opposite Poppy. Poppy the talented bike racer, wild child from the King family. Their story is all about the feels, at times sweet and others angsty with everything in between. This is an author that can play with your emotions.

This is a new author to me, and I will certainly be looking out for her work in the future. This is Zander and Poppy’s story and my word this feisty girl certainly makes swoony Zander work hard for her attention. This is a beautifully written story which has off the chart chemistry, angst, unexpected twists, which all lead to a steamy and magical tale which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
February 29, 2020
Poppy and Zander's story was totally worth the wait. Lindsay creates characters that make you wish they were real. I absolutely love how the two both face obstacles in life and thrive in spite of challenges. My heart smiled and broke in the best way reading their story. It is also makes me smile seeing familiar characters pop up again for a quick hello (If you have NOT read her ALWAYS series, go back and do it - I mean it. Go back now). Wonderful read.

Pure freaking perfection!! Zander and Poppy are absolutely phenomenal. I love how much of a no nonsense, spitfire Poppy is, and Zander is completely swoon-worthy. Their story had everything you want in a great romance and I hated to see it end. Definitely a must read!!!

“I hate nothing about you.”
This is my first read from this author and I was not at all disappointed. Hate Nothing has everything you’d want in a romance. It will sweep you off your feet and pull at your heartstrings. This book pulled me in from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t get enough of Zander and Poppy.

"I can’t stop thinking about you and wanting more. I hate nothing about you.”
Oh man this story. The pages literally sizzle from Zander and Poppy's chemistry. I loved how they reluctantly fell for each other and loved even more the unexpected twists and turns that threatened to keep them apart. It was angsty, steamy and swoony, the perfect mixture for me.

I love this book along with all the Kings! I’m already ready for the next..😉 Poopy King is a bad ass that is ready for the next chapter of her life. Although strong willed and amazing she has to jump through heart ache and scares.
