I've been not so patiently waiting for Jules and Josh's story and OH did it deliver! This was the picture perfect enemies to lovers storyline and the dual POV made it even better. The animosity between them was just the right amount and both had pretty solid stances on why they hate each other. The sexual tension between them was fierce and had me on the edge of my seat. Jules is a badass character and has such a quick wit, I was laughing out loud several times at her comments. Josh's ego was hefty but his development was great to read. While there was plenty of high level steamy moments, there were also some really gut wrenching emotional ones that gave more depth to the story.

Some of my favorite moments: the ski trip with the sparks flying sexual tension and ONE BED trope which is always fun; when Jules disarms the mugger and isn't the damsel in distress I expected to happen; trying to hide from their friends at the hotel and Alex 100% picking up on what was happening; Josh and Alex reconciling and talking through some of their issues.
