It was good, but not great. Definitely not my favorite in the series so far.

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!

"Because the possibility of you is better than the reality of anyone else.”

There is something addictive in this shit because I am obsessed. By far my favourite in the series. I was giggling and squealing and just truly having THE BEST time (until the 80 - 91% mark, but we shall overlook that). On to the next.

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.

Man, this book had quite the hill to climb in my eyes. Jules and Josh are two of the most annoying characters I've ever read, so I'm thankful they stopped bickering relatively early in the story. Speaking of early on, Jules insults the size of Josh's genitals several times. A little odd already, but given that Josh is an Asian man, the comment becomes... racist? Bigoted? Whatever the proper term, it made me uncomfortable. All in all, I read this because I'm a completionist.
