HATED YOU THEN by M. Robinson

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author M. Robinson brings her readers the first coming of age, enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels new in the Love Hurts Duet, Hated You Then


I couldn’t remember a time before her… Harley Jameson.

Before she owned me.
Hated Me.
Needed me.

Before I hated her…

Things were simple.
We had an understanding.

Bully. Fight. Hate. It’s what we did.

Mind. Body. Soul. It’s how we loved.

I thought nothing would ever change that, until everything did.

She was mine.
Always had been.
Always would be.
Nothing altered that.

Not how much I hated her.
Not how much she hated me.

Especially, not how much I hated…

That I LOVED her.

This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style. Before I jumped into this story, I did a little research and was warned that the author is well-known for her cliffhanger endings. Little did I know that this one has a massive one so be warned!

Harley Jameson is her father’s favourite and can’t do any wrong in his eyes. She is a sassy, mouthy little princess. Her little MC kingdom would have been perfect if her enemy Jackson wasn’t in it. She can’t stand him and has hated him to her core since they were toddlers.

Jackson Pierce is the eldest of two sons of a surgeon who is close friends with Harley’s family. He is his mother’s favourite son. He cannot resist winding Harley up every time they see each other and he always gets her in trouble.

Narrated from dual points of view from when Harley was six years old and Jackson was seven, this coming-of-age story chronicles the misadventures, the wind-ups and the pains of growing up. The author flawlessly captures the angst of teenage life and when Jackson’s almost perfect family life is suddenly shattered. Oh boy, I felt this boy’s heartache and loss, my heart bled for him. Amidst all this turmoil his feelings for Harley seesaws from hatred to something akin to love! And Harley despite her hatred of Jackson, becomes his anchor to reality. The writing in this book has excellent pacing and character development and grips your attention from start to finish.

The secondary characters as I found out, had their own stories in the Good Ol’ Boys series and I would love to read the stories of Jackson’s and Harley’s parents and their friends. I am truly gutted that I have to wait for a few more months before I find out what happens to this pair. These two have a lot of growing up to do but then they are only teenagers so they need to learn from their mistakes and whilst reading their antics, there were times when I wanted to reach inside my kindle and bang their heads together. This new-to-me author is a revelation and I am very impressed. I would totally recommend this book.

THE OPEN DOOR by Laurelin Paige

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Laurelin Paige comes A Found Duet Novella released with 1,001 Dark Nights,
The Open Door

I knew JC was trouble the minute I laid eyes on him.

Breaking every rule in my club. I never forget how he made me feel that night. With all the women in that room, all those bodies on display, but his eyes were only on me.

Of course I married him. Now years have passed. Kids have been born. We’re still in love as always, and the sex is still fantastic…

And yet, it’s also not. Like many who’ve been married for a while, I long for the high intensity of those days of the past.

I’ve heard rumors for years about the Open Door. An ultra-exclusive voyeur’s paradise. A place to participate in—or watch—any kind of display you can imagine.

My husband’s eyes would still be on me. And maybe other eyes too. If that’s what we want.

So when an invitation to come play arrives, how could we turn it down?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Marriage, children and ten years into their lives together; Gwen receives an email from her husband that is a total game-changer.

Unlike most books, this story is about a couple who are happily married and are not going through a rough patch. This is a taster of what their lives have become since their duet books.

How can two people still helplessly in love spice up their sex lives after being together for so long? Answer: The Open Door. Any fan of this author will know of this place, and what happens behind the sinfully delectable doors.

Colourful imagery and hot scenes are laid out for the reader. I will always be a fan of this type of book. It ticks all the boxes and gives the reader either a bonus or a new reader a taster of what this author can pull out of her writing cap. Thank you again Ms. Paige, you constantly outdo yourself.


USA Today and New York Times Bestselling Author Laurelin Paige is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She’s also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn’t do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
