Absolutely LOVED. An excellent enemies to lovers, best friend's brother storyline. The hot banter kicked off right off the bat and throughout the book. It was SO good! Like I'm talking first 150 pages out of a 500 page book and it got hot real fast. I  also appreciate that even though there was hatred, the characters were still humane to each other. Absolutely loved the redemption arcs for the main characters and closure they received.

Loved Jules, Josh’s behaviour was concerning at times but you wanted them to end up together because their wit and banter were a perfect match for each other.

I already had issues with missing consent in the previous books, but this one took it a step further, which is the reason I give 0 stars. It was completely unnecessary to add that to the story. In addition the book was missing depiction of the thought process in tense situations and the big fight in the book. After a lot of build up many things just happen too fast.

Not a huge fan of the author’s writing style based on what I’ve seen from “If the sun never sets” but classic contemporary romance. Liked that acknowledged having busy schedules and working a lot to pay off debt. Some parts of plot too far-fetched for me personally:
