HATE CRUSH by A. Zavarelli
Release Date: November 21st
Blurb:
They call him the devil.
When I crash-landed into him on my first day at Loyola Academy, I was sure that couldn’t be true.
He was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen in real life.
Little did I know he was also the cruelest.
I went from starstruck to stunned the moment his cynical eyes cut through me.
I can’t tell you what it was that made him want to punish me. But from that day forward the brooding recluse of a man made it his goal to torment me.
I want to loathe him, and some days, I do.
But good or bad, nobody’s attention has ever tasted so sweet.
What do you do when you have a hate crush on your bully?
Worse yet, what do you do when he’s also your teacher?

Excerpt:
There’s something about Stella that makes me believe she will always go the extra mile to seek approval from those with authority. I can see it every time she looks at me. And before the end of the hour, I’ve made up my mind. In the past, I picked easy, obvious targets for my projects. Without fail, they failed me. They couldn’t withstand the expectations of their peers and their family and the machine that is Loyola Academy.
But Stella won’t fail. I feel it deep in my gut. A spark of hope that I haven’t had with any of the others. A want I haven’t experienced since my own college days. I will push her harder than I’ve pushed anyone else before her, and she will cling to hold onto herself in the face of any storm I might bring her way. I will open her eyes to the realities of this world. And in the end, she will despise me for my ruthlessness, but she will be grateful.
Stella LeClaire, welcome to my final project.
My Thoughts <3
Whoa, this book was unexpected in the best possible ways. I am a HUGE A Zavarelli fan since her Boston Underworld series and so I was expecting this book to be a bit dark and gritty. It was absolutely PERFECT!! I loved the characters and felt that I could justify and understand their actions while connecting with them.
All in all if you are looking for a teacher/student bully romance- Hate Crush is one you HAVE to read with it's dark and gritty and oh so hot scenes!
PS: Thank you BUNCHES to A Zavarelli and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
