I've truly been waiting to start Haeden and Josie's story since they first grumped towards each other like three books ago. I wasn't disappointed, they might be my favorite of the couples to date. This is practically a slowburn for Dixon, as Josie (for understandable reasons that include the fact Haeden has been a dick to her and because she's been sexually abused in her past--don't let the other reviews here mislead you) holds off on the whole mating thing. But it's fun to see how Dixon essentially makes the same plot exciting each time!
