”Jules,” he said softly.
“Yeah?” The word stuck in my throat before it came out all wrong. Weird and raspy and not at all like my normal voice.
“On a scale of one to ten, how badly do you want to fuck me right now?”

Synopsis
Jules Ambrose is a law student at Thayer University. She works hard, but she parties even harder. Josh Chen is Jules’ best friend’s older brother. He’s a med student with an ego the size of Jupiter. The only thing they have in common is that they can’t stand one another. Well, that and the fact that they both want to rip each other’s clothes off. They don’t have to see each other very often, and when they do, they can tolerate each other well enough to appease their friend group.

Most men were blinded by all those curves and big hazel eyes, but not me. I knew better than to fall for her trap.

When Jules starts her new job at the Legal Health Alliance Clinic (LHAC), she finds out that Josh volunteers there after his residency shifts at the ER. It quickly becomes clear that they have to call a truce for their incessant bickering, but that does nothing to stave off the palpable sexual tension.

"You're my personal hell, Red." He gave my hair another sharp tug. "And God help me, I don't want to fucking leave."

They decide that the best way to resolve their issue is to bang one out. Too bad their one bang turns out to be the most mind-blowing sex either of them has ever had. Josh proposes that they be enemies-with-benefits to ride this wave of attraction out until it eventually dissipates. But the more they learn about each other, the less they want their tryst to end. Can Jules and Josh overcome their differences? Or are they more similar than they think?

The Good:
- I’ve said it in every review, and I’ll say it again. ANA HUANG HAS A WAY WITH WORDS. I mean the woman knows how to write a damn book. This was as equally well written as Twisted Games:.
- This exact quote: “Stupid describes whatever poor schmuck ends up marrying you.” I was laughing and teheing and kicking my feet I really was.
- The non-endometriosis-painful-ass-period ladies stand up!!

The Bad:
- I’m sorry but……

Spoiler

that was a fucking rape scene, and you know I’m right…

- Some of the things that Josh said are legit unforgivable in my opinion. Like I was jaw on the floor gobsmacked reading some of that shit.

THE SERIES
Ava Chen, Princess Bridget von Ascheberg of Eldorra, Jules Ambrose, and Stella Alonso are four best friends that met their freshman year at Thayer University when they were assigned to live in the same dorm. The series takes place over several years during which the girls fall in love with Alex Volkov, Rhys Larson, Josh Chen, and Christian Harper, respectively. All books involve morally gray heroes and pseudo-fantasy-level conflict. I would consider all of these books dark romances due to some of the graphic nature of certain plot points.
