And I had a lot of it, believe me.  I had several issues with this book, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.  Josh was first and foremost an arrogant, rich, domineering and presumptuous jerk. In other words - an alphahole. Carrie was a foul-mouthed, tempestuous, bitchy shrew.  Put them together and you have a dynamic couple vying for the upper hand in the relationship.  Of course, the hero wins the war, and the heroine finds she likes having rules and boundaries, so it all works out.  I did like the character development of the hero, although I found the actions that led up to his self-realization to be implausible.  No way do I believe the heroine would react so quickly and so self-destructively. Now this won't be everyone's cup of tea.  I happen to like handsome, presumptuous jerks in my fiction, as long as they treat the heroine with love and tenderness.  Which he did - mostly.  I also had to adjust their ages in my mind to college, because I just couldn't believe the characters' actions as it is written, no matter how much of an "old soul" the hero was.  Also, the author's blatant disregard for the rules of punctuation made me want to slap her.  Repeatedly.  However, the hero was so OTT alpha, the heroine so OTT bitchy and vulnerable, I couldn't help but enjoy the story.  It was melodramatic and angsty - like a soap opera.  Take it for what it's worth and enjoy!
