Kat, I am about the same place...(view spoiler)[I don't like Stu at all. Not sure what the author can do at this point to redeem him for me. And I just don't get why Josh can't get him out of his head. (hide spoiler)]

*SPOILERS*

Not sure if anything I've written here would spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read it yet, but just in case, I put the header on top of the post :)

I finished this one last night. I liked it. But I wish Josh and Stu had gotten their acts together a lot earlier in the story. It felt too rushed at the end, I would have liked to have seen them get to know each other as something besides enemies a lot sooner.

I enjoyed watching Josh grow from an insecure teen to a successful, more confident man, but I learned very little about Stu, and never felt much of a connection to him. Except that he was a hostile jerk to Josh for what seemed like forever.

Yep! To everything you said. I finished this yesterday and it was just ok for me, three stars like you Fran. I think the last straw for me was (view spoiler)[when Stu got angry and almost stormed out after the disclosure of feelings scene (hide spoiler)]. I really don't think he had grown up all that much or come to terms with his feelings.

And thanks for keeping me on track with the freebies!!

Today's ARe freebie- The Outlaw's Obsession

http://www.allromanceebooks.com/produ...

Thanks for all the reminders, Fran! Even though I get the ARe emails every day, I still seem to miss them!

I just realized I never came here after I finished reading this month's book! I pretty much agree with both Fran and Kat - I liked Josh, but just could never warm up to Stu. Of course, if the story had been written from his perspective that probably would be reversed, but as it was I had a hard time really getting invested in them as a couple. I did like the story, but like Fran I do wish there had been less emphasis on all the time they spent "hating" each other and more time resolving their issues and coming together as a couple.

Today's ARe freebie- Training Lady Townsend

Still free- Dust of My Wings

I finally read this in early May and I did really enjoy it. A very extended enemies to lovers!! I didn't mind that it took so long, but really - Stu was a bit ridiculous on this anger issues in the end...
