Anyway, back to Twisted Hate.
I loved the banter and the chemistry between Jules and Josh. It felt realistic. Their reasons for hating each other made sense, and they weren't immature. I suppose maybe they could have talked it out before 7 years had passed, but I don't think it's unrealistic that they hadn't, especially when they didn't think the other one had changed and this pre-determined hatred had already been established.
I'm really glad that the fiery chemistry between them didn't die out when they got together. Sometimes that happens in romances, there's all this tension and buildup, and then, they feel like 2 different people when they get together. Jules and Josh both grew and learned things about themselves and each other throughout the book, but for the most part, they still felt like themselves- together and as their own person.
This book definitely had the best smut for me so far. The dirty talk? The teasing and tension? Oh my god...
I don't want to get into too much detail about what I didn't like in this book, because it would spoil some things.
I really liked Jules character. She's a strong fmc, but we were still able to see her struggle with her own fears and insecurities. And even when she was struggling with them, I still felt she was being strong.
