Julia Connors can do no wrong. I loved this 'hiding in plain sight' vibe we got from Jules and Colt and the squealing and squirming was so good, I loved every minute of it!

I loved Colt's tenacity. He just kind of planted himself in Jules's life and stuck around until she caught up. I didn't love how obvious he was for so long, but I think that was just part of his journey. His oblivion to Jules and her feelings from years ago was a bit annoying, but I get how Julia was showing us the then verses now. Because when he caught up, he was all in- 100%.

Brother's Best Friend is a favorite trope of mine, and I loved how this one played out. I loved how everything was just 'so convenient' and Jameson and Audrey just kind of went along with the narrative that Colt and Jules fed them. I loved how it all came to hilt and all the drama in the end was so much fun to read!

I also found the pasts/backstories of Jules and Colt interesting. There were a lot of barriers to break down in Jules for Colt, and I loved how he embraced the long game with her. After his years of oblivion, he needed to work for it a good bit to bridge the gap between then and now.

Overall, I am still obsessed with Julia Connors and her books and her stories and everything really about her. Rereading the Frozen Hearts series will be happening for me in June, and reading this wonderful ARC pumped me up even more for it! 4.5 Stars Rounded Up
