This was a raw and emotional read. Slow burn, friends to lovers, traumatic past, college football romance! Plenty of angst, spice and things that will make you say wow! Definitely check trigger warnings before going into this one.

This is the story of Ivy and Aiden. Ivy leaves her dysfunctional family and moves to a small town to thrive on her own. Aiden, her childhood best friend, ends up at the same place for other reasons. This is a slow burn sports romance that drew me in from the beginning. I loved the characters and how the story came together, and Aiden was swoon-worthy!
Favorite quotes:
“I dare you to hate me, Ivy. We both know you don’t. You couldn’t even if you tried."
"When you meet the right person, it doesn’t matter what happens because fate will always bring you together."

I love B.Celeste books, but I found myself struggling with this one. I thought the plot was good but struggled to relate with Ivy and Aiden.

3.75⭐️ i didn’t expect this book to be so heartbreaking. i legit cried two times (which never happens). ivy was so broken and i honestly feel for her. aiden was such a kind hearted person and i love him. i think my favorite character from this book was DJ and caleb. i love reading sport romances but what i love even more is the bond between all the team members. the spice in this book was 1.25
