I thought for a second I was going to be a Josh Chen hater, but if Jules can forgive him then I forgive him. ☺️

This book was quite literally very unexpected. I had knowledge of Josh Chen haters, but never heard much about the story itself other than it is the only one in the series that has been marked 21+. This story was an emotional rollercoaster and I loved it so damn much.

The characters I feel started out unlikeable, but very soon after getting into the book LOVED them. The banter, the romance, THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS…. *screaming*. I sped read this book and could not put it down. Of course Ana had to throw in some true crime moments for drama, which I am always here for 😌🙌🏼 

Of course Jules and Josh are definitely my favorite type of relationship dynamic, can we take a second to appreciate the friendship rebuild of Josh and Alex? So wholesome! 

Overall, if you thought about skipping this book, definitely do not!

 Josh Chen needs to be made into a real life man (apart from one scene in the book where he was an utter arse).

I've been looking forward to Josh and Jules since book one, and Ana did NOT disappoint! From the sex scenes to the beautiful moments of friendship and love, this book catapulted Josh straight onto the Best Book Boyfriends list before I was even a quarter of the way through. Swoonworthy and hot all in one.

Once again, loved the twists and turns and also the cameos from other series (I won't spoil it).

Off I go to Twisted Lies - which I also CANNOT WAIT for given the hints in this book.

Enemies to lovers, forbidden romance,  and single bed tropes are featured in this extra steamy romance. The characters really grew on me over the course of the story and their romance was spicy and sweet at the same time. I stayed up way too late to finish this one!
