I was hooked from the opening chapter. The story is told entirely in the first person POV of the heroine, but I didn't feel as if I missed anything. 
 This enemies-to-lovers tale had everything--sexual tension, comedic moments, an a-hole hero with a tortured past, and a sweet, Pollyanna heroine who really, really wanted everyone to like her. LOL. I felt so bad for Lucy, and Joshua was such a d*ck to her. 
 Despite how much she and Joshua "hated" each other, they were just what each other needed. He helped her be strong and stand up to people who took advantage of her people-pleasing nature, and she helped him soften him and provided the emotional support he needed. The progression of their relationship was a pleasure to read. Love, love, loved the scene where they played paintball, especially when they protected each other. I also appreciated how he took care of her when she was sick. It was obvious how much he cared about her, but the big oaf just didn't know how to express himself. 
 I'll have to keep an eye out for more books by Sally Thorne.
