I knew these two would end up together from the first mention of their hate for each other in the first book. 😂 This book also furthers the greater story so it was a lot of find to explore the planet a bit more and let the greater plot take more shape. 🙌

Honestly I loved this one! 
It's miscommunication because they both express their love differently 🥺🥺🥺🥺 he's all acts of service and she's expecting words of affirmation. 
I really enjoyed re reading their journey! 
In a way I also think this is a second chance resonance for Haeden but with someone he actually loves!

I feel like there’s grumpy and there’s kind of mean and so feel like Haeden was on the kind of mean spectrum of grumpy and that if not for resonating with Josie, he would have continued to be mean and disrespectful to her. I didn’t “buy” the way it was explained as fear and I just wasn’t super convinced by this match.<br /><br />The premise is that endlessly-bickering pair Josie and Haeden find that they experience resonance for one another and Josie, after a childhood of abandonment, neglect and abuse, who has dreamt of a love match, is devastated to find that she’s matched with Haeden, a joyless sort who seems incapable of love.<br /><br />I think this could have been more convincing but I appreciate that the author kept Haeden in character. Even though thinking of Raahuk who was a similar gruff sort, that felt more of a convincing match to me- this one seems like he’s going to eventually silence her because she talks too loud or too much.

I'm gonna be honest. I can't remember if I finished this book last night or mid day today or... actually that might sound right? I don't even know. I'm genuinely reading these books too quickly to keep up lol but I did like Josie and how she and her mate have both lived hard lives and managed to overcome their miscommunication long enough to realize that they were a good match. Also, wow, two more females? I wonder if they are gonna figure out a way to start tracking down these aliens and stop this trafficking bullshit.
