Audiobook Review: I Hate You (Waylon University, #3). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There’s a fine line between I hate you and I want you.
Once you cross it, there’s no going back.

Blaze Townsend: I hate you.
Charisma Rossi: I hate you more.

She’s been expecting this ever since their latest showdown. She had good reason.

Hottest guy she’s ever seen.
Former fling.
Dumped her in front of all her friends.
At her own party.

So no, she’s not about to forgive and forget just because he sits next to her in class. He thinks all he has to do is turn on those baby blues, and she’ll melt right back into his arms. Please. She’d be crazy to let this cocky player affect her again. (Tell that to her body.)

Charisma Rossi.
Nerd girl with a dash of bad.
The one who got under his skin.
The one he cut loose.

Blaze knows she’s the riskiest prospect at Waylon University, but none of the interchangeable girls he hooks up with have ever made him feel the way she did. There’s absolutely no way he can have the girl and the game.

So why can’t he stop trying to win her back?

Can this wide receiver score the girl or will he make the biggest fumble of his life?
I Hate You

The heroine: Charisma – she is a student of Waylon University in Magnolia, Mississippi. Three months ago, she had an 80’s themed sorority party when her boyfriend broke up with her in front of everyone there. She hasn’t seen him since, but she has six months to go at Waylon and is determined to see him again and prove to herself that she is over him.

The Hero: Blaze – he is the star wide receiver at Waylon University. He has loved football since he started playing the game and is very good at it. He sees Charisma at a bar after a big win and it was like a bucket of cold water is dumped on him. He can’t even talk about her with his friends. He was raised by his aunt and uncle from the age of 10 and they haven’t shown up to any of his games. Before that he lived with his drug addicted parents.

The Story: Blaze is disappointed that he is not high in the stats to be drafted to the NFL, even though he did very well at the end of the season. His coach tells him the importance of his degree. Blaze is majoring in history and wants to be a teacher and a coach if he doesn’t make it to the NFL. He sees himself as not good enough. Though he plans to push himself till he makes it to the NFL.

I have loved every book in this series. Ilsa Madden-Mills does great new adult sports romance. She has a great sense of humor and I love that the stories show realistic relationships and characters with real life problems, especially the men, even though they are sports heroes for the College, they still have their own issues and problems.

There was a ton of chemistry between Blaze and Charisma, and I thought it was funny how Blaze would check himself out a bit before seeing her to make sure he looked his best. He even stretched out to make sure his shirt lifts enough to see his abs and makes sure she gets a good look. It was cute how Blaze has self-esteem issues, especially when it comes to being good enough to make it to the pros.

Told in dual points of view via dual narration and narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy hamilton. Savannah is one of my favorite female narrator. She has a terrific voice which sounds age appropriate for new adult and she is so emotive. Teddy Hamilton is also great and is one of my favorite male narrators. He does a great job in everything he does.
