Like You Hate Me

Hawthorne University, Book 1

By: Bethany Winters

Narrated by: Michael Dean, Liam DiCosimo

I've never hated anyone as much as I hate him.

The day my sister died, I told her best friend I never wanted to see him again, and I meant it. I lost her because of him. Everything I used to care about means nothing now because of him.

It's all because of him.

So when he shows up on my driveway two years later and tells me he's moving in with me for his freshman year of college, I kick his ass and tell him to disappear. For good this time.

But I already know the defiant little brat's not gonna listen. He never does.

Being near him again makes me crazy. I'm supposed to be the college basketball star my father raised me to be, but now I'm focused on a new game. I'm obsessed with watching him, touching him, breaking him. His body, his head, his heart, anything I can get my hands on…

I'm gonna take it all until he's got nothing left.

And even though he knows exactly what I'm doing to him, he's gonna let me do it anyway.

Angst and Beautiful

The narration is fenomenal, especially Michael Dean who voices Xavi.
Both Xavi and Nate are struggling after a tragic event and they don't know how to copy with the conflicting feelings they have for each other and themselves after what happened. The characters are well developed and there is a HEA. I hope there will be a book about Carter. I am really curious to read his story.

Hate that I love you

Enemies to lovers is a lot of fun but this one comes with a healthy dose of hurt. Great story and as always for Liam DiCosimo and Michael Dean, fantastic narration.

Beautiful

This book had me hooked from the start! This story is sweet, sad and funny at times but the angst is angsty! I listened on my way home from vacation and it made the time go by! Worth the listen!

Toxic Flames, Twisted Hearts

Absolutely one of my favorite MM books! Like You Hate Me is a visceral, emotionally intense story of loss, guilt, and a love that scorches as much as it soothes. Every encounter between Xavi and Nate crackles with unresolved pain and magnetic tension, making their connection as chaotic as it is unforgettable. Michael Dean and Liam DiCosimo bring serious fire to the narration. Together, they make the tension palpable, the sex scorching, and the quieter moments deeply affecting. If you love hate-to-love with emotional depth and narration that elevates every word, this one’s a must-listen.

wish Michael Dean narrated the whole book

This was my 2nd listen and the story is just as good the 2nd time. But Liam Dicosmo was the WRONG narrator for Nate. His deep voice was just annoying. Finished it again for the story and MICHAEL DEAN!
