This was the absolute best book of the series. I love a good best friends to lovers and we got all that with Alex and River. I also love a second chance. The vibes were absolutely immaculate at the beginning when they were in Napa and I almost wish we stayed in Napa a tiny bit longer. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing everyone in Boston but there was just something about the reuniting vibes of Napa. 

This has so much reread potential. If you liked Pucking Around or Pucking Sweet, you need to read this. And if you haven’t read the above books and you liked this one, you should read those next because they are share similar (and equally wonderful) vibes.

I honestly chose this because it reminded me of the Pucking series (similar cover design and colors, poly story with three people and the two dudes have been friends forever, with a bi awakening for one) and wanted to see if it would hold up on its own. Thankfully, it felt like an entirely different book, those were just coincidences, and I really enjoyed it! It's the third in the series so I'm going to read the little novella about these three and then go back and read the first two because I liked the friends they were about. Mia is working as a pediatric medicine intern and trying to grow a charity working with Prosthetics for Kids. She takes a weekend off to go from Ottawa to Napa for her friends' wedding and (thanks to the meddling friends) ends up staying in a villa with the two guys she fell in love with in university and hasn't seen since as she didn't want to come between them. Alex and River now play on the same NHL team and are still best friends, but both still love her and want to share her. They have a wild weekend together and then are sad when they all go home, but then her life is thrown upside down because of her controlling ex and they swoop in to rescue her and see if they can all make it work. Meanwhile, River is bi and has had feelings for Alex for a while but Alex is slowly realizing he may not be as straight as he thought, at least when it comes to his best friend. My one weird thing with this was that I found out after that the author is Canadian but at one point I thought I'd caught the author out because she had the Canadian character thinking about the temperature in Fahrenheit... was that just part of the pattern where Canadian authors feel like they have to cater to American readers? Did an editor change it? Who knows, didn't bug me that much was just a weird thing.

Вона мені дуже подобалась з початку, я читала її на одному диханні, але на останніх сторінках усе стало так однотонно, мені б хотілося більше сюжету і менше любовних сцен

For now

So many of the MM scenes were closed door, at least 50%
