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!

Wow! Definitely, rough sex. I don't know about hate. Interesting read. This is my least favorite in the series. There was something missing between Jules and Josh. I loved the crazy banter and there is a transformation between the feeling  of hate and love. I enjoyed the ending, but I  didn't fully connect with the characters.

3.0

i was convinced for the first 400-ish pages that this was gonna be the best book in the series, and then the last 100 pages happened. i really liked jules, and i thought her character was well-written and i enjoyed pretty much everything about her. josh on the other hand…i cannot get over how he reacted when jules

came clean about the painting and returned everything she “stole.”

at the very least, he should’ve groveled a hell of a lot more—at least half as long as alex did imo. i might think about this rating a bit more before i commit to the three stars (because i mean it when i say the first 400 pages are worth 5 stars), but i also might just think about what this book could’ve been and move on.

Very similar quality to Twisted Games. I liked the climax but after it was too fluffy. I really enjoyed this book best I’ve read out of the series so far.
