I didn't like plot of book and main couple was okay. But enjoy seeing characters from previous books and I'm so interested for Hunter Chargill (Mason and Kingsley’s son my favorite couple in series so far) & Jade Daniels (Rhett & Evie’s daughter.

My Review
I was really looking forward to Julian and I really had a blast with this one here. Its not my favorite of the series at all, enemies to lovers need to be written really well and to be honest I didn't really understand why there was so much animosity between these two. It just didn't make a ton of sense but once they got past the angst that was happening within their relationship, then you really tore off the ground in pacing and I was able to really get behind this story but to be honest I was expecting something a bit more for Julian's book, it just felt rushed and a bit lack luster in comparison to the other books in the series. But it had some suspense and it had some barrels of laughs but now I really need Preston's book. Hopefully I can find it haha Causse that adorable man needs some love and happiness.

This book was fast paced. Maybe a litte too fast for my liking. But I enjoyed every second of it.
However I wished for a little more depth, a litte more of the connection the characters shared. I had trouble feeling it.
And the some things - i don't want to spoil here - seemed a little far-fetched. Nevertheless this is a great book, a quick read you'll definitely love if you fell for the Trinity Academy Series.
Full review to come soon

♛ JULIAN [TRINITY ACADEMY #4] ♛
Julian Reyes is the older brother of Falcon Reyes & this is his story. He had been portrayed to be solely obsessed with heading the CRC Holdings disregarding the emotions of his family, especially Falcon. Soon the brothers have a heart to heart and clear-up decades worth of ongoing tension within the Reyes family.
In book #4, we're given a deeper insight into Julian's past. We realise that there's a lot of unhealed scars from his past which made him push away everyone he cared about.
ψ Dual POV.
ψ One-night stand trope.
ψ Age-gap romance.
ψ HFN ending.

This is the final book in the Trinity series and Michelle just blew this out of the water. This had suspense, angst, sexy sexy times but where someone would think it's a bit of slow burner it's not anytime when these 2 were around each other the sexual tension would build waiting for the match to ignite it, but first Julian had to catch a killer who's got their sights set on Jamie. This is definitely a must read.

Michelle outdid herself with this one. An amazing enemies to lovers storyline full of twists, turns and suspense. I loved it from beginning to end. This was a great book with two amazing characters. I absolutely loved Julian and Jamie. These two meet and have what they think is going to be a one night stand. But Julian is on for quite the surprise when Jamie shows up to attend school at Trinity Academy. There is pure hatred there at first. But then things start to happen to Jamie and Julian goes into protective mode. Feelings end up changing. But will Julian be able to keep her safe?
I absolutely loved this one from beginning to end. I have to say it was my favorite from the Trinity Academy series. There was just something about this storyline and characters. Michelle wrote one amazing book and had you on the edge of your seat with the suspense that she throws in. Highly recommend this one.

I fell in love with the Trinity Academy series with Falcon. Michelle has done amazing work with the men of and their ladies in this series. Julian and Jamie bring a whole new layer and level of drama, tension, love, sexy times, and compassion to the series.
Some may say that nothing good comes from a one night stand but I'm pretty sure Julian and Jamie could prove them wrong. They had amazing chemistry from the start and the sexual tension between them was amazing. Once Julian was broken from that frozen shell he's kept himself in since the loss of his fiancee he is amazingly swoon worthy.
This is a must read for anyone that has started this series because we get more from our favorites such as Falcon and Layla, Mason and Kingsley, and Lake and Lee and we get to see Mr. Reyes be the sweet and loving father most of us had hoped he'd be in the end!

Julian was always a bit of a mystery to me, as Falcon’s older brother, he was a bit of an a$$hole in the first book in the series, but after they made up and became closer, he was a secondary character, so I was intrigued by his story.
Julian is now the Chairman of CRC Holdings and of Trinity Academy and ever since his fiancée died in an accident, he hasn’t had a relationship, choosing to bury himself in work. Until he meets a stranger in a hotel restaurant, and they spend the night together. The next morning, the stranger has left, and he assumes he won’t ever see her again, but everything comes crumbling down when he is introduced to his new business partner’s sister-in-law, on her first day at Trinity Academy.
Jamie is a freshman at TA, and is so excited to have some freedom, but she is shocked to find out the handsome musician she spent the night with is actually her college’s Chairman. Jamie and Julian have a less than pleasant second meeting, especially after learning their real occupations and ages. Harsh words are exchanged, leading to them deciding to keep their night a secret, especially from her brother-in-law and to steer clear of one another.
Layla and Kingsley take Jamie under their wing and she gets accepted into the friendship group, much to the upset of Julian. As they have to spend more time together within the group, the sexual tension continues to build between them, and encouraged by the group, they give in and become a couple, especially after a frightening night where Jamie ends up in hospital. But there’s something darker happening at Trinity Academy this year, when Jamie’s dorm gets broken into and she has episodes of blacking out, can Julian catch the person behind these crimes before they catch up to Jamie?
Julian himself was such a bada$$ hero, he followed through to protect Jamie in any way he could, and that was such a hot characteristic. He stood by her throughout the whole ordeal and when he was honest with Carter, it made the whole relationship more real. Jamie was so strong and sassy, her banter with Julian was hilarious and she truly held her ground, I loved her character.
Julian’s book was not what I was expecting, it had so much more action and drama than the rest of the series and that’s what I really loved about it. The romance wasn’t the main plot point and I was on the edge of my seat to find out what happened next. The twists came out of nowhere and I felt like I went through every emotion with these characters.
It was great to see all the other characters once again in their couples, and the boy’s friendship opening to accept Julian as one of them. Seeing the two sets of families from two of Michelle’s world combine is amazing and I will be going to read the enemies to lover’s series ASAP. Julian is the perfect one night stand to more romance with drama, action and a lot of heat, a great addition to the series!
