This installment was especially fun.

The evolution of the relationship from initial animosity to deep, undeniable love is both believable and compelling, making every interaction between the characters rich with tension and longing. This novel stands out for its ability to transform conflict into a profound connection, making it a must-read for fans of the genre who appreciate the complex dynamics and passionate payoff of the enemies-to-lovers theme.

Wtf did I read? Definitely worse than the first book...

Sweet Enemies to Lovers Romance on Not Hoth

I've been shipping Josie and Haeden for ages! So I was thrilled for them to finally get together! I enjoyed the unpacking of why Haeden has seemed not to be a fan of Josie. I also appreciated how any past traumas Josie has been through don't define her. I love that there are so many more of these to read! On to the next book!
