ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 17, 2019

A coming of age, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels.

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.

REVIEW: HATED YOU THEN is the first instalment in M. Robinson’s adult, contemporary, coming of age LOVE HURTS DUET focusing on Harley Jameson and Jackson Pierce-the next generation in the author’s Good Ol’ Boys series, and a prequel of sorts, that runs parallel to the Pierced Hearts Duet. You do not have to have read the previous series/duets but for some HATED YOU THEN reveals some missing information.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harley and Jackson) covering approximately nine years in the life HATED YOU THEN is a retrospective of events in the life of Harley Jameson and Jackson Pierce. From the age of six to fifteen , Harley Jameson had a love hate-relationship with Jackson Pierce, the young boy who lived to torment and tease our story line heroine but Jackson’s life was slowly being destroyed as events at home were spiraling out of control. What ensues is the back and forth, acrimonious and tempestuous relationship between Jackson and Harley, as our duo struggle with family, friendships, school and growing up.

From the outset, the relationship between Jackson and Harley is caustic and petulant. Immature and emotional outbursts are rife with nine years of continuous verbal and physical assaults. Harley gives as good as she gets, whenever Jackson spews vitriol and cutting insults. Their parents’ best friend relationship constantly places Jackson and Harley into one another’s orbits that exacerbates their already contemptuous relationship.

Told from the perspective of young children and teens, the story line manifests in an adult voice. The language, text and comprehension is that of a mature man and woman including preteen boys obsessed with the sexuality of the female form. Over sexualization of children and pre-adolescents may be disturbing for some readers.

HATED YOU THEN is an emotional and heartbreaking story of family, friendship, loss and grief. M. Robinson pulls the reader into an angst filled tale of mutual attraction and antagonism; hostility and love between two people whose lives will be changed over night.
