Honestly I love a solid enemies to lovers. I do however hate miscommunication and I felt like smacking these two upside the head on more than one occasion. They truly deserve each other through with all their past struggles they deserve someone who loves them and I’m glad they finally saw it.

This might be my favorite of the series thus far. You get Haeden and Josie’s tragic back stories. I loved the journey as they get to know each other and love increases.

A quaint and quick little read. 

I think I was hoping for a bit more substance but there was too much fighting against each other and miscommunication to be a highly rated novel. I always enjoy learning a bit more about the lore of this world but this has to be one of the weaker ones I think. 

Josie and Haedon are cute, but this one was a bit of a miss fof me.
