The plot was okay and I liked the storyline, but the characters didn’t always feel genuine, the relationship felt rushed and it severely lacked chemistry.

Honestly this was much better than I expected. I expected it to be mostly spice with a slight plot but instead there was a pretty good plot (in my opinion) with just a tad or normal amount of spice

The writing was better than I expected, but the story was lazy.
I just cannot appreciate a 'brother's best friend' romance when the two MCs are adults. What do you mean you have to receive his "blessing"?
Also, I don't really know how the two fell in love because there's no great relationship building. Yes, the FMC has always had a crush on the MMC, but what did she do to deserve his affection once they were older? The answer is nothing, which is why I found this book lazy.
I also hate the seemingly inescapable parts in interconnected romances where the friends of the FMC offer up their two cents and inappropriately imply that they can tell what's going on in the FMC's relationship before she even realizes it. These friends are always the same: nosy. It's annoying. More importantly, it's lazy world building, because it's always painfully clear the author is attempting to establish the friends' future romances through these scenes.
As much as I wanted to like this book, since the story was interesting enough, I just couldn't. It was filled with every cliche I hate in interconnected sports romances, which I couldn't get past, despite my love for fake dating romances.
