Easily one of my favourites from this series. Grumpy-sunshine is always a wonderful pairing, and mix in the enemies to lovers and the crazy spicy scenes, and it's hard not to love this.

Plus, it's kind of great that Haeden remains a surly Neanderthal when it comes to Josie.

I don't have much to say about this. But I did enjoy it. I loved Haeden and Josie together. The tension between them until the moment they get together is amazing. I also like how sweet Haeden is with Josie in the end. They both had their own issues and fears with being each other's mates and I enjoyed seeing them work through those issues together when they decided to give each other an actual chance.
