I Don’t Hate You
About
Rock star Chase Wheeler trades his glittering life in the spotlight to return to the quiet embrace of his small Wisconsin hometown, compelled by his beloved grandmother’s final days.
His hometown also holds Alexis McNeil, the woman whose heart he shattered, the mother of his son, Cody. Immaturity and insecurity drove a wedge between them, leaving behind a wreckage of unspoken words and broken promises. Now, standing on the precipice of unimaginable loss, Chase is forced to confront the consequences of his past.
Alexis has built a life for herself and Cody, a life carefully constructed to keep the pain of Chase’s abandonment at bay. But beneath the surface, the years haven’t erased the memory of their passionate connection and the embers of love still glow.
Grandma Wheeler sees the unspoken truths. Her dying wish is simple: for them to find their way back to each other, to heal the wounds of the past and build a future for Cody. She knows that beneath the layers of hurt and resentment, love still flickers, a love that deserves a second chance.
The road to reconciliation is paved with obstacles. The scars of the past run deep, and the insecurities that once plagued their relationship resurface. Can Chase prove to Alexis that he’s a changed man, that he’s worthy of her forgiveness and love? Can Alexis let go of the pain and resentment and open her heart to the possibility of a future with Chase?
Passionate, raw, and real, I Don’t Hate You weaves a emotionally charged story about second chances, the enduring power of love, and the courage it takes to confront the past and embrace the future.

This was the sweetest book that I ever read. I loved the romance in it and I loved that Alexis and Chase found each other. The ending was a perfect ending for them. They both deserve to be happy and both deserve the world.
A heartfelt, steamy second-chance romance! Couldn’t put it down.
Amazing! Such a well written, provocative novel. Excellent summer read. The characters are complex and speak to your heart. It reminds us all of the choices we have made (or not made) and how they have shaped our lives. Well written and compelling. A true page turner.
A heartfelt, steamy second-chance romance! Torn between safe, reliable Austin and her rock star ex Chase, who’s back after years away, Alexis wrestles with old sparks, new loyalties, and a whole lot of unresolved passion.
It was a quick read, but the emotions hit just right. Chase really grew up throughout the story, he made mistakes, of course, but now he was back and actually trying. That part felt real and made me root for him. Alexis was strong, and I liked how she didn’t just fall back into old habits. Their connection felt natural even after the time apart. Kept me hooked.

A second chance romance with a hot rockstar first love. I loved this book so much.
This is a pretty good story and it's a short read with which to spend a lazy afternoon. It has just enough spice and story to keep you interested.
Definitely recommend!
I really enjoyed their story and their chemistry!
Super fast-paced second chance between two people who were once completely broken. A jealous ex-boyfriend that is in the picture adds to the mix perfectly!!! I really enjoyed the suspenseful part of who was going to be the one that got the second chance!!!
This book was a heart felt read. The struggles and triumphs, made you feel like you were right there with them along their journey.
The characters were nice, the plot and dynamic was nice, just enough drama to keep it interesting!
This is a second chance love story that grabs your heart and interest.
Melina Druga does a good job of showing the couple's struggles, at least emotionally, as things are just fine between them in the bedroom. I liked the way Chase and Alexis were with each other when they weren't fighting about the past. Grandma Lu was such a fun character, adding the perfect amount of humor to I Don't Hate You. I really loved the way the characters grew, especially Chase, reflecting on the role he played in the breakup. It was refreshing and made him even more likable. Overall, this is a solid second-chance romance.
