DELANEY
I’m a good girl who makes good decisions.
He’s my professor with eyes that see right through me.
Everyone says he’s charming.
I say he’s entitled.
Is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or is that alluring small-town smile real?
I don’t know if I want to find out.
I’ve spent my whole life working for what I have.
One captivating professor can’t change that now.
ASHER
I’m the English department head.
She’s my beautiful student in the mentor program.
The dean says she’s a perfect fit.
I say she’s too perfect.
Is she a strait-laced Bo Peep, or is there fun lurking behind those eyes?
I shouldn’t want to find out.
We exist in a gray area where the lines are blurred between student and colleague.
But what might happen this summer is forbidden for either relationship.

This was a fun read about Asher (who we have met before when Saria visited Foxe Hill in the book In the Wild and in the first Foxe Hill book) a 30 something English department head at the community college and Delaney a student who is working at the college and taking a class for 6 weeks over the summer. This story avoided cookie cutter story telling and brought the characters to life by giving them more depth and surrounding them with other engaging characters. I felt like I was getting to know Asher and growing with Delaney throughout the book. I sometimes felt like the story was a mix of a good sitcom and a romantic comedy. The characters had great chemistry, and I loved seeing them interact with an array of characters in various settings.
I wish the story telling of after they became a couple had a little more time in the book. It felt like a lot happened quickly at the end and it was bookended by a quick wrap up of what it looked like once Asher and Delaney were together. In the Into You series I felt like I got more closure with the characters than I got in this book.
While the book is technically an enemies to lovers I never felt like they were really in the enemies role. They also technically fall into student/teacher relationship but as the book points out many times they’re existing in that as a gray area since they are also semi colleagues. Some may also consider this an age gap relationship, though that played very little into the story.
While we see Asher in previous books, there is no need to read those before reading this book. This is also the second book in this series, but you do not have to read the first book prior to reading this one.
Overall this was a great read. Took me about 3.5/4 hours to read and spice starts around 60/65% into the book. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series!
The main characters were well balanced enemies to lovers and super likable. I enjoyed learning about both their stories. All of Julie's characters have some sort of relatable aspect. I loved Delaney's sass and Asher's swagger. Great spice level and some wholesome moments with the supporting cast of characters.
I will continue to read more of Julie's books! I am so happy I received this ARC, I literally read it within 24 hours. Her novels are just plain old good reads that bring me such enjoyment, I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next.

Delaney is in Foxe Hill for six weeks, taking a class and doing an internship at the local college. She's not there to make friends. She's focused on her future career, and she just wants to earn her credit, do her job, and get back to her life in Boston.
Asher is a Foxe Hill native and head of the English department at the college. He's charming and an all-around nice guy that's loved by pretty much everyone in town.
Asher and Delaney are immediately attracted to each other, but they also immediately start butting heads when they discover Asher is Delaney's professor (and she thinks his poetry course is a blow-off class), and Delaney's also been tasked with creating the budget for the upcoming year (and Asher has to prove his department needs more funds).
•••
This is a little bit of a slow burn. There's a lot of sweet moments (but also some really hot, tension-filled moments) as Delaney & Asher slowly become friends, fight their attraction, and get over their initial (bad) impressions. I loved how feisty Delaney was, but she's also really closed off and determined to stay focused. That made Asher – as the charismatic, outgoing, local boy – a great complement to her.
I also couldn't get enough of the Foxe Hill crowd, specifically Asher's sister and his group of friends. It was great to see them pull Delaney into their group without her fully realizing it until it was too late. Julie's created a friend group that everyone will want to be part of. And all the food! The whole time I was reading, I kept craving donuts and Mama Ellis' biscuits and cookies.

This was my first book by Julie Olivia (an ARC given in exchange for an honest review), but I will say I immediately bought the rest of the Foxe Hill saga. I've read one of them so far and it was just as good.

Delaney is about to graduate her long awaited degree but needs recommendations and credits. Thus enters Professor Asher (such a sexy name). Neither character knows what's in store for them, but what entails is sexy, steamy, forbidden and beautiful.
What's so great about this story is that the author not only makes you fall in love with the characters, but she also makes you fall in love with the town and all the other characters in the book (like I seriously want to move to Foxe Hill). Delaney and Asher's relationship is stormy but steamy, the sexual tension between them helps build the book to its conclusion which is both heart wrenching and shocking. There is no skipping of any pages, words or paragraps as you just want to read it all!
Whilst I was given an ARC copy of this it has done nothing to diminish my desire to recommend it to all my friends and pre order any series followers!
