I was so... unsatisfied by this book. Too many things were left to unresolved. There were many inconsistencies and it constantly seemed to lack direction.
But what disappointed most was Violet, the heroine. She was a complete doormat not only with Mason but with her X too. I found it unbelievable that she goes back to Davis. I was so so so disappointed that the writer did that. She was so weak and dumb that i wanted to smack her!! Let me tell you, if my cheating X acted the was Davis was to my sick father, I would have socked him in the nuts! Seriously?! And all the times she finds herself at Mason's door? I thought it would have been interesting if she would have done something fun with her money. She just broke up with a dude after all! I would have though she would have done something for herself. They keep mentioning how rich she is getting, but she never shops, or does a makeover or buys a new place. NOTHING! And why would she want to be where Mason fucked a million women?? Really?? She goes right backwards into his sex pit again. Its kinda gross! you never get a true sense of time or location. It feel like they live in an alternate world where on second they're at the shop, and the next, in bed. It gave me whiplash how fast these people went from one place to the next.
As for Mason, aside from when he's with her dad, he's just an asshole. He is able to tell everyone off but his wife? How inconsistent is that? He tells everyone to fuck off, even his best friend. But when the wife shows up he's a lapdog. Really? he doesn't fight for Violet. He doesn't do anything that really makes him valiant or redeemable in my opinion.
This book was entertaining because it was different. But these characters were two dimensional at best. And the book just...ends. We don't find out what happens to her cancer ridden father. Or with Mason's new shop. Or with her newfound success. It felt like the writer decided she was sick of the story and just...ended it.

What a great follow up to Hate Me. You are thrown right back into Mason and Violet’s lives and believe me that is some crazy messed up stuff…but in a good way. I love the writing style of this author who I’m so happy I found. The question of cliffhangers brings out some pretty strong feelings for some people; I love them only if I can read the next book right away. This author gives you some amazing cliffhangers at the end of the chapters within the book. How sweet is that?! All that does is leave you with the feeling that you can’t put this down because you know in the next chapter you will find out what the hell he was talking about!
For those of you who have not read Hate Me, get it. As with most of the author’s books you will get some darkness, some life lesson and some extremely hot sexy scenes. If you have not read this author’s work yet, do it. Again, I do love how he will end a chapter within the book you are reading. making his books extremely hard to put down.
I received this book as an ARC for a freely given and honest review.

This is the 2nd book, and the saga of Mason and Violet continues. When Violet walked out without giving Mason a chance to explain, he felt betrayed and getting what he deserved. These two have both got to find themselves again and overcome the demons which haunt them. No spoilers, you absolutely need to read these two books, you will not be disappointed! This is an intense and dark storyline, which had me hooked from the very beginning. This is certainly a rollercoaster journey you do not want to miss! Amazing work Jaxson!!

DNF 54%
Such a shame. I gave book 1 a 5 🌟 rating I loved it so much. This book, when it wasn't frustrating the eff out of me, dragged and circled round, then dragged some more.
It might get better. Based on what I've read so far, it should have been wrapped up in the first book. The angsty, sexually charged chase of book 1, has been replaced with a repetitive, boring, frustrating, HEA on the horizon, back and forth. I was not having fun reading. PLUS, Violet is a COMPLETE push over in this book. Weak. What happened to her?
An ex stirring the pot, causing terrible, will always be a negative for me too.
Anyway, LOVED book 1.

I said after I read
HATE ME: a bad boy romance novel
that I hated Jaxson for that cliffhanger. But, now I can officially say I love Jaxson, no more hate from me because he gave me a great conclusion to Mason and Violet's story. I kind of still hated Mason at the beginning of Hate Me Again, though, because he was acting like even more of an ass, even nastier, even meaner, even more cruel than he had been in Hate Me, because Violet had dared to leave his dumb ass after she found out his big secret. Well, duh, what did the man expect her to do?! If I had been Violet, I would have left his stupid ass too, only I wouldn't have come back to him the way she did. Violet is far more forgiving a woman than I will ever be.
Mason deals with Violet leaving him by going out, getting drunk and sleeping with even more women, growing out his hair and his beard, and getting lots of ink all over his body. Yeah, it's safe to say that Mason's coping skills aren't exactly up to par. As I said in my review for Hate Me, Mason is a seriously messed up guy. And finally, here in Hate Me Again, we get the entire story of why he's so messed up, so damaged. And it's a pretty heartbreaking story. "But that's the world I know. It's the world I want to hate me. Hate is so much easier, Violet." I won't go into details, but sufficed to say, it is pretty ugly, and it has left lots of scars on Mason's psyche. Poor guy. It almost, almost explains why he's such a jerk. It doesn't excuse his behavior, though, and I really, really hated him, didn't think there would be any way I could possibly love him again, but when Violet comes back to him and he opens up and starts acting like a halfway decent human being, I kinda fell back in love with him again. Don't get me wrong, I still hated him, STILL hate him, but that love started creeping back in. In Violet, it never left, though, because for her, Mason is The One. He sorta completes her soul, the other part of her that she never even realized she had inside her. "I showed you the darkest corners of lust. The tattered edges of crazy sex. I put you against the wall and made you feel things you never existed. And to me...well...you managed to reach into that black cave inside my chest and find the last few beats of a heart that stopped beating a long fucking time ago."
But, because Mason is who he is, Violet still hates him. Because he doesn't make things easy on Violet when she comes back. That's the thing about Violet, though, she's very forgiving, and non-judgemental, because she knows and accepts Mason and all that he is, for who he is. "You know who I am. You know I'll never change. You know I'll break your beautiful heart. But you know the other side of me and my life..." And he does continue to break her heart and hurt her, because he can't seem to help himself. But, because Violet was addicted to the man she loved, she decides to keep this mysterious ass of a man, even though she knew she'd spend the rest of her life getting hurt by him because he'd never change. "A mystery I was addicted to. A mystery I would give my life to find out. A mystery that was going to hurt me...again and again and again..."
Thank God Mason has a soft underbelly that he only shows Violet, though, because without it, I don't think I could have withstood reading this story. Because it would be a one dimensional block of cruel, disgusting behavior. But, when Mason is there for Violet during the hardest days of her life, that was when I knew, when Violet knew, that Mason really was the one for her. And that's when I knew they'd be OK, even though he'd hurt her many, many more times in their lifetime together, he really did love her, and he'd always be there for her, especially through the dark times. "Yeah I was an asshole. Yeah, I'd probably hurt her again and again. Yeah, she'd end up hating me. But you know what? Nobody could love her like I did. And that was a fact." Mason is actually a decent human being somewhere deep inside him, deep inside that scarred soul of his, and it's why even though Violet hates him, (I hate him), she still loves him, (I still love him).
And now, I love Jaxson, and don't hate him anymore. Because Mason and Violet's conclusion not only came quickly, but it's a damn good conclusion at that. Thank you, Jaxson!

I was given an arc for an honest review. This is book two of a series. I am in the minority again on the glowing reviews but this series just did not work for me as a romance novel. I do apologize in advance as I hate to leave a less than a positive review since authors put so much time and effort into writing. This was almost a DNF numerous times. It is written in alternating pov’s and picks up about 6 months after the first one ends. I was hoping after reading book one that this book would bring redemption to Mason. Give me something to at least “like” about the main characters but sadly it didn’t. He has to be the most unlikable Hero I have ever read. Had the author developed an actual love story between the characters it may have worked. I didn’t enjoy reading about the mc’s sleeping with other people for the first 40% of the book, nor the H instigating a fist fight between Violet and his wife to help get her to sign the divorce papers, SMH. There was nothing I liked about this series but I do appreciate the opportunity to be an arc reader. 2.5 stars.

This book was disturbing. Spoiler Alert
This didn't even deserve one star. What a pathetic heroine. Absolutely disgusting. She was a gluten for punishment. Time and time again she kept going back to the hero for rounds of disrespect, belittling, neglect, BS and a whole lot more. Who in their right mind would do that! The guy had a wife, slept with numerous women and didn't hide it or deny it and still she kept following him about like lost puppy. I couldn't even finish the book.
It was that pathetic and immature. I skipped to a chapter where the hero actually told the heroine to fight his wife, physically, and end all this. What are they in kindy? And so the stupid women actually did fight. That's when I couldn't be bother to even skip pages and just stop altogether.
This book is ideal for men whore who like to worshipped by lots of women. It's all take and no give. Thank goodness this was a free book. I would have asked for a refund, it was that stupid.

I liked the first book "Hate me" but this just wasn't it.
Don't understand why it took so long for the H to divorce his wife. He just kept giving her money & they both used each other whenever convenient.
The h was just a doormat; she was the ow in this case. And even worse is when the H made both women fight it out physically at the end! Fine, the H is a badboy but I wished the h was portrayed a strong woman and not a sex-depraved maniac.
There was zero grovelling from the H's part.

Hate/Love are strong emotions coming from the same well...I loved this story!... 5+stars
That’s what it’s been like to read Hate Me, Again. This is the sequel to Hate Me and begins where the first story ended. Violet faces Stacey, Mason’s wife he married on a wild night in Vegas. Mason guards his demons and his past, so he hadn’t shared that part with Violet, at the time she moved in with him. But fate never has good timing, and the wife from the past shows up, once again, causing strife in Mason’s life.
At a painful time of his life over the devastating loss of his beloved friend, Kate, Mason was pretty bent on self destruction. And a careless, drunken mindbend in Vegas resulted with him getting hitched to a money-grabbing stranger. So without learning the real truth about the circumstances behind Mason’s reckless decision, Violet runs away thinking the worst of Mason.
Of course, true to being Mason, he doesn’t go after Violet and this is where the meat of the story begins. Violet seeks her comfort zone and makes a terrible decision that would greatly affect her happiness. Mason’s daily internal struggle is dealt with physical change, and he’s bent on getting numb. The pain is overwhelming and he finally turns to writing letters to the two people he loved most, but he never mails them. Mason eases the pain by getting his feelings out on paper and then burns it. After months of separation, Violet and Mason unexpectedly cross paths again.
There were parts that had me scratching my head over Mason, his unpredictability left me frustrated. And Violet’s insecurity and indecision made me want to thump her on the head. So glad she finally realized to trust in Mason and go for what she wanted in her life. I loved how Mason and Violet worked through the pain and obstacles in the way to their happiness. Mason finally realizes the love of family he’s discovered through Violet and becomes a part of her family. Jaxson Kidman really brought Mason to life with his POV, and in depth characterization. Yes, it was a hate/love thing I had for this sexy hunk who was rough on the outside, but had the biggest heart. And wow, I was really impressed with those sexy scenes. Hold on tight, kids, it’s plenty steamy and sizzling hot! Hate Me, Again is another winner for Mr. Kidman, it’s a story with intense emotion, plot twists and lots of angst to go with it. I hope Hunter and Victoria get their turn. I highly recommend this series.
I received and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Finally Mason's gone for good
I'm glad it was only two books in the series, no wait ...actually it would have been even better if it was only one book or maybe even no story about Mason and Violet at all. I'm speechless as to how bad the second book was. Totally disappointing.
The dialogues between Mason and Violet so disjointed, they said sentences with deep meaning but so isolated and meaningless in context. Mason's letters to Kate and Violet long, so long that by the end of them reader would not know what was the meaning of all of it. Just pile of empty words. That mysterious past of Mason dragged for so long that I lost my interest in it. I just simply did not care about him or her. It felt as if the author had not figured it out himself and was just buying time in the story not knowing what to do with it. Such an unimaginative, poorly executed storyline!! I liked the main characters in the first book but unfortunately in this they became indifferent to me, such a shame. The heroine could not be more humiliated by Mason who treated her like doormat!! I just gave up at 50% I don't like my intelligence to be underestimated or considered naive and stupid reader that can digest any rubbish.
Poor pace and story development, lack of interesting twists or turns, disjointed, undecided love or hate heroes, no chemistry whatsoever just pure lust, big words and complex, disconnected sentences,all together bad ingredients that totally ruined the story idea.
As such I can't give more than 2 stars and even that is very generous, and I'm so glad that Mason and Violet will NEVER EVER return in any shape or form. THANKS GOD. What a waste of ink and time!

Hate Me was a fantastic read pulling me through all sorts of emotions between hate, dislike, like and love!! Hate Me Again does EXACTLY the same for me...Jaxson is real clever at teasing out your emotions!!
Mason is one heck of a character and you really get to find out more behind why he has been the way he is with being comfortable in getting the world to hate him! 6 months on from the last book he starts off as unrecognisable...but you learn that he is a changed man since loving Violet...he doesn't like to admit it tho lol
Jaxson truly will have your heart being pulled in all directions to the point of tears! ... well I certainly was!
Violet really comes into her own again here, once she realises the mistakes she has made and truly proves herself as the bada** she is! She faces so many emotions in this book and has a lot to deal with personally too!
I couldn't hate Mason even if you paid me to! There is an innocence to him from his childhood that stays with him ...they do say that love and hate are the flipside of each other and in this book it couldn't be more true!
Jaxson's books are just getting better and better making you feel emotions that I thought were long dead for me!! 😉
If you've not read Hate Me, then go buy that first them come and buy this. ..you will have no choice but to buy it after reading Hate Me!
Go 1-click these 2 books now and settle down for a real treat! ❤

Jaxson's books are just getting better and better making you feel emotions that I thought were long dead for me!! 😉
If you've not read Hate Me, then go buy that first them come and buy this. ..you will have no choice but to buy it after reading Hate Me!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first book Hate Me and this continuation of the story in Hate Me, Again, didn’t disappoint at all. Throughout the two books there has been an on/off, love/hate relationship between Violet and Mason. Mason continually keeps telling Violet that he will hurt her and while this may be true she loves him and wants to understand and be with him, but he is not prepared to talk about the pain and the secrets he is keeping. As predicted, the day comes when Violet discovers a situation that is incomprehensible, leaving her no alternative but to leave Mason and go back to her ex-boyfriend, Davis, her first love; but the man who once betrayed her. Not content with betraying Violet once, Davis does it again; it is the final straw and only serves to drive Violet back to Mason. Meanwhile, Mason has some inner feelings and personal issues to sort out and hides his pain in a unique way. Violet has a decision to make, but she wants the truth from Mason. Will he be willing to finally let Violet in and confess everything he has been hiding from her? Violet loves Mason, while Kate didn’t; will this fact finally drive away the hate Mason feels? This was an intriguing story that held my interest throughout and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this book and the first book Hate Me. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Tiny spoiler alert below...
So when you finished book 1, didn't you just want to go crazy and beat Mason's crazy ass up??? Because I did!!! I couldn't wait to see how it was all going to play out. And here's a spoiler alert for you, but a warning at the same time...
:::
:::
:::
Mason and Violet really do break up after the disaster in book 1, and they both end up sleeping with other people.
I think some people may have issues with that and seeing it as cheating. I didn't. It really was a realistic take on a heartbreaking story. Mason had enough issues to fill up a semi truck. Poor Violet had issues of her own, some that she developed after breaking up with Mason, others that she had been nurturing from before meeting Mason. And now it all comes to a head.
It really was heartbreaking to see Mason's suffering over things that had really been out of his control to begin with. He also had other problems that he caused himself, and now the time had come for a good cleanup.
There were some parts that I felt dragged a little bit though. Like Mason taking his time to tell Violet what his deal was with Kate, and then with Stacy. I was like, just spill it already, dude, enough of this sh*t!! I also thought it was kind of weird when the girl fight happened, and how it started. You'll know what I'm talking about when you read the book. But they did get their HEA, and I was happy with that.

I hope you have read Hate Me because this is part two for a reason, you need the have read the first book because this is the continuation of Violet and Mason’s story and without the details of where it all began you will be totally lost!
Written in alternative points of view, this gathers up the baton six months after the end of the first book, six months since Violet walked out on him! But from that day he has thought of little other than her, despite the fact that he is married! Not that you could possibly consider what there is between him and Stacey as being a loving relationship…a drunken fumble in Vegas that got out of hand and that seems to be hanging around his neck like a millstone…his money being the only thing that Stacey is actually in love with.
Anyway, I know I am rabbling, but I don’t know what bits to pick out and what I need to keep quiet about …actually I think I need to stop talking because there is too much that I could say but really shouldn’t.
Can he win back the woman that he wants?
Just what will both he and Violet have to do to get Stacey out of their lives for good?
There are parts of the book when I will admit that both Violet and Mason really got on my nerves but I wanted them to have a HEA, so I was willing to forgive some of their foibles and I am glad I did.

Just when you think Jaxson Kidman's books can't get any freaking better or tear your emotions up anymore than he already has, he goes and pulls Mason out of his hat!
Mason thrives on people hating him in both books, it's his defence mechanism and as much as I wanted to hate him for some of his actions, I couldn't truly hate him. I wanted to steal him away and fix him.
Like in book one, I still had my 'I want to throat punch him' moments but they were more held for a few supporting characters instead, as for violet I adored how she came into her own later in the book although I wanted to shake some sense into her early on lol.
Hate me and Hate me again are nothing short of spectacular. After Jaxson's last few books I didn't think he could top the feels but this is right up there with them, you go through every emotion from hate and angst to heartbreak and full on intense earth shattering love in this duo.
Another phenomenal read from an author who fast became a fave of mine. I don't think I can pick a favourite book anymore but these are up there with the best. Each book is like reading someone's soul, like they are baring it to you in all its fucked up glory and that alone is beautiful.
A definite one click! What are you waiting for!
Jaxson Kidman you never disappoint :)

Hate Me Again was a great 5 star read.
You must read Hate Me before this book. This book is the conclusion to Violet and Mason’s story.
Mason’s one bad night in Vegas had resulted in a marriage to a woman who turns out to be his biggest mistake. When Violet takes off, Mason struggles quite a bit to the point where he seems to spiral out of control. He has lost Violet, will he ever get her back? Does he want her back?
And of course I wasn’t too happy with Violets choices at times. She went through several different emotional stages as the story progresses. She definitely doesn’t have it easy.
Mason is determined that every woman he meets will hate him and I have to say that he accomplished that with Violet. You will love and hate Mason right along with Violet. He had me so frustrated and confused at times. And Violet, my gosh this girl is way to forgiving. I’m not sure I could have been as forgiving as she was.
The sex scenes are scorching hot as usual. I do have to say that the conclusion was great. I was very happy with the HEA. As I read more from this author the more I’m pulled in. I can’t wait to read more from Jaxson Kidman. This is a must read two book series. 1-click and get started today.

As with Hate Me... I came into this book disgusted with Mason. Gee think you could guess the ending of the last book? Trust me, it will blow your mind.
The only thing different in my outlook on Mason starting this book was that I was starting to feel sympathetic. I felt sympathy for the fact that he didn't have the upbringing to be successful in relationships. The social skills were stunted and left him lashing out at people.
So 6 months... that's the time lapse between the two books and he's delved into a deeper hole than when he began. It was shocking to see just exactly what he had been doing and even the why! (nope won't tell you, you have to read it to find out!) The biggest thought in my mind is "How in the world would there be a HEA for these two?"
This book is a little like a rollercoaster. You are on bottom starting out on the adventure and then going through loopty loops and down hills at amazing speeds with wonder. The writer has an amazing way of describing Mason and his reactions that really help you to see inside of him rather than just a two dimensional character.
And the ending... wow. Let me say I bow to the amazing artistry and craftiness of story weaving. Amazing book!

"Hate Me Again" is even better than "Hate Me"! A hot sexy beautiful story of a man that is so tortured by his past and a woman that can hold her own with him while coming into her own self worth, "Hate Me Again", is not a story you will want to put down when you start reading. Mason is, well Mason. What he is not, is politically correct. I found him a very tortured soul with a beautiful heart. With all of the things he has done that made no sense, Mason is true to himself and he is true to those that mean the most to him. That number is a very small number, but I would want him on my side. Violet is a bit too accepting of her mundane life when she is with her old love Davis, but when she is with Mason, she is just as bold and can really hold her own with him.The story is dark, so well written and a must read if this is your genre. As the author says, you will want to read "Hate Me" first to get the complete picture of Mason and Violet's journey. A journey that leads the reader to a beautiful HEA. I would really love to read a story with Hunter and Victoria and see Mason and Violet making their appearances. I would like to thank Jaxson Kidman for gifting me "Hate Me Again". My opinion is my own. This is mine 5 Stars!

Part two of the story of Mason and Violet is just as intense as the first. When Violet walked out, Mason felt betrayed, but thought that was how his life was supposed to go. He didn't think he deserved to be happy. He had so many
demons in his past that he didn't know how to deal with or move on.
Violet' s biggest mistake, after not giving Mason a chance to explain, was falling back into what felt easy with the ex who had committed the ultimate betrayal. She felt like her life was falling apart. Besides the problems with Mason, her father was sick and she felt so helpless.
Both this book and Hate Me (part 1 of the story) were a rollercoaster ride! How do you love someone and hate them at the same time? Well, Mason proved that it's definitely possible to do exactly that! At times I got so frustrated with both Mason and Violet, but eventually they got their acts together and have us an awesome happily ever after.
I have loved everything that Jaxson Kidman has written and both Hate Me and Hate Me Again are definitely no exceptions. If you want a wild ride with lots of emotion, then you definitely need to give both of these books a try!

Stunning finish!
I have no synopsis to Hate Me, Again. What I can tell you is that this is the conclusion to Hate Me by Jaxson Kidman that was released last week.
Doing reviews for conclusion books are always difficult. I don't want to say too much to give away what is happening on the slim chance a reader hasn't read book 1.
You absolutely MUST read Hate Me first. You will not be able to follow along in book 2 without it.
Hate Me, Again picks up where Hate Me ends.
There is so much hurt and anguish continuing in to book two. I was in tears for over half of the book.
Hate Me, Again was all about the feels for me. Book one built everything up...the anticipation, the hate, the potential love...and book two I let that all out.
Overall, this was a very satisfying experience. I sped through both books in one sitting. It is definitely a read that will not disappoint! Another great job by Jaxson Kidman!
Lamplight Review and Promotion is giving Hate Me, Again 5 stars.

I don't even know where to start with this review. I loved Mason and Violet. I hated Mason and Violet. BOTH OF THEM! The wife...WTF! The lame ass excuse for a replacement boyfriend- kill me now! I am rarely so furious with an author, but when I am it is because the damn story is so believable that I can see myself making the same choices.
This is book has it all wrapped up in a HEA....Whew! Thankfully.
I've just recently discovered Mr. Jaxson Kidman and Wow! To say he has quickly become one of my all time favs is a severe understatement. I dove head first into this book without any concern for the HEA, and he graciously did not let me down. Sexy, cocky, emotionally raw, and WTF are the most prominent thoughts/emotions I experienced. There were times I wanted to throw my kindle and be done with this couple, but of course that wasn't an option. Jaxson has this style of writing that pulls you into the story and holds your heart hostage until he sees fit to let you go. Give Hate Me and Hate Me Again a read and experience for yourself the hostile takeover of your soul!

I was on the edge of my seat at the end of Hate Me anxiously waiting for Hate Me Again to be available. It was no surprise to see that Mason and Violet weren’t in good places without each other. Mason was a hot mess actively provoking others to hate him. Whereas, Violet settled into an unhappy and unhealthy relationship. I loved how bad boy Mason went out of his way to make sure Violet was happy. Mason was thoughtful, kind, crazy, and rough. He pushes boundaries, wants it all, and then some. Violet knows that life with Mason will cut deep and has to decide whether the pleasure is worth the pain. Mason reveals his secrets in Hate Me Again and fights hard for Violet. You’ll have to read the book for more on their journey. It is a rollercoaster of events and emotions. The chemistry between Mason and Violet is off the charts and the sex is HOT!! Their physical and emotional connection is something that can only be experienced. Get ready for the ride. I received an ARC in return for my unbiased review.

This book brings the story together six months after Violet runs out after Mason’s wife introduces herself. Violet is hurt, receives devastating news and Davis sweeps in to her life again. Her business with Victoria is booming and they are bringing in the money. When her unit is finally rented out she has to return to the complex to finalise everything. Running into a Mason brings her emotions and all the unfinished business between them to a head. Mason has changed his appearance he has grown his hair long, has a beard and tons of ink! He is still the same jerk and makes some on the spot decisions that have you questioning why? Charlottes parents are the quintessential couple, who aren’t afraid to show their affection. The two of them throw the banter around and will have you smiling and laughing! There are moments when Mason redeems himself and then just when you don’t expect it he does something that will leave you gobsmacked!

This second book in the Mason and Violet Saga! My anticipation leading up to this second book was crazy!
Jaxson Kidman certainly knows how to weave a story.The detailing made me feel like I was watching something real unfold,- Hate Me Again is a rollercoaster of emotions, I felt so much frustration for these two as they struggled to find themselves and get their crap together. A few times I found myself thinking I am not sure who I am more frustrated with right now!
I love that these books are not your typical romance novel nothing fluffy here.
While it does contain dark moments of guiltiness, demons from the past and ways the demons chase away the pain. It still had some of the same Mason smirkiness, sweetness and searing hotness we experienced from the first book Hate Me.
Reading these two books has been a journey that I will not soon forget.

If there is one thing Jaxson Kidman is good at, it is the ability to pull you into the story. Mr. Kidman drew me from the very first page of HATE ME and held me captive until the very last page of HATE ME AGAIN. This author makes you feel every emotion that his characters are going through. The intriguing storyline, the drama, the heartache, the anger, the jealousy, the passion, the angst, the sexually charged and lust driven chemistry, the turmoil, the regret, the heart stopping emotions, the secrets, the incredible panty-melting sex and ultimately, love will keep you enthralled and hanging on the edge of your seat. HATE ME AGAIN is twisted, delicious, raw, dark, heartfelt, intense, powerful, steamy, suspenseful, naughty... it will take your breathe away!
I volunteered to review an advanced readers copy of this book.

A must read but you have to read the first book
I loved this book, glad that it was broken down into two books.. I am so glad that Mason and Violet found their way back to each other. What can I say in this book.
you'll have a love/hate relationship with Mason's asshole personality. As for Violet she is his light to his dark and I am so glad she finally stood up for herself. Anytime Davis entered the story I just wanted to beat the F*ck out of him, Mason should have really tore him a new one, he didnt deserve to breath the same air as Violet and her parents especially the way he treated them. If I could throat punch Davis I would... It was a long journey for Mason to heal from his past and I am glad that Violet was there to make him whole. Great job Jaxson and I thank you for writing this story, it kept me intrested to the very end.

Just when I thought Jaxson Kidman couldn't make me fall more for Mason he drops Hate Me Again! Hate Me Again is just as intense as the first book and picks up shortly after where book 1 ended. Mason thrives on people hating him and uses it as a defense mechanism. In Hate Me Again you get more of Mason's history and it helps you understand why he acts the way he does. I couldn't help but want to steal Mason away to help him heal from past hurts. Violet came into her own in Hate Me Again . At first I was mad because of some of her choices but Mason challenged her to change. Hate Me Again is a wonderful conclusion to Hate Me. Jaxson will have your emotions everywhere. You'll feel hate, angst, heartbreak and then love. I love that Jaxson bares a little of himself with this phenomenal book! I definitely recommend you read Hate Me first and then finish up Mason's story with Hate Me Again.
