What an emotional rollercoaster full of angst, tension, and sizzling chemistry this book was. Xavi and Nate have a complicated, messy history. Xavi was best friends with Nate’s little sister, Katy, and ever since her tragic death, Nate has blamed Xavi. Both of them are struggling to live with the loss, barely holding themselves together.

When Xavi moves in with Nate and his college roommates, things get...intense. Nate’s resentment clashes with their undeniable attraction, leading to some seriously steamy hate sex that’s off-the-charts hot. The possessiveness between them? Crazy hot. But it’s not just about the heat—the story dives into their pain, their past, and the secrets that come to light. The flashbacks are perfectly placed, adding depth to their story and peeling back the layers of their complicated connection.

I also loved the roommates—they brought some much-needed lightness and warmth to the story. Now I’m anxiously awaiting Easton’s story because I’m already hooked on this group.

If you love angsty, emotional reads with tension so thick you can cut it, this one’s a must-read!
