Ok this book was really good until around the 60% mark. As soon as that big dramatic break up happened, every page turned just pissed me off more and more until I just couldn't take it anymore and dropped the book (74% of the way through according to kindle). All the characters are stupid, their decisions and mentality are stupid, and it's all just infuriating. I really wanted to like this book AND THE FIRST HALF WAS GOOD but holy shit did the second half lose me and then some.
EPIC LOVE STORY!
WOW. WOW. WOW. My jaw is dropped and I am clutching my kindle rocking in a corner. I am so addicted and invested in Ky and Avi I don’t want to let go! This book is all my favorites in one. Talk about a long story I can live in. A book with amazing character development and just plain amazing characters! Equal plot and spice that are both epic, and it can make you feel every feeling. Laugh, cry, & swoon. Here’s the tropes: It’s the college football player and the mascot…Need I say more? Will re-read this one forever and ever.
10/8/23 Audiobook Review: 3/5 stars.
Amazing Story but Desperately Needs Editing!
I did a Read & Listen of this Audiobook/Ebook. It was a re-read for me because I wanted to listen to this audio. The story itself was just as amazing as the first time I read it! I love everything about this book. The characters, plot, and spice, are all top tier. It makes me swoon, and cry. It’s the quarterback and the mascot and they are also enemy stepbrothers…so that should tell you how freaking good it is right there. I can’t ask for more from a love story. This one delivers it all.
However, since I read while I listened to this audiobook I was able to see probably 100+ errors. And it sounded like NO ONE proofed this audiobook! The narrators themselves and voice acting was good, but SO many words were either missed, the wrong word was said, or they switched around the order of the words. It can be confusing especially when they say words like “lips” and it’s “hips” in the book.
At one point a whole paragraph and then a whole sentence were skipped from being read.
There were several times background noise could be heard including lots of heavy breathing and such odd sounds. I guess I can’t fault them for that. This book can get you HOT. Lol but it shouldn’t have made it to the published audiobook.
The most glaring mistake these narrators made were not communicating on how they were going to read the names. That’s rule number 1. One narrator read the underscores out loud in the usernames and the other one did not. It’s just not consistent and I preferred not hearing the underscores read aloud because it flowed way better.
But they should have communicated and decided prior what they were going to do and do it all the same.
That’s my rant on this audiobook. At the end it desperately needed to be proofread and better edited! The final production sounded rushed and not up to the level of the beautiful story. I hope it can be edited in the future.

I thought this was going to be a breezy MM smut book, but it ended up being more in a way that really touched me. Don't misunderstand, it was still VERY spicy

AMAZING.
I adored this read from beginning to end.
This was so eloquently written, and yes, there is smut. So do not go in unprepared to see some d’s swinging.
However, the raw emotion, and healing were so beautifully done.
The healing time especially impressed me because she thought out in great detail what the MMC needed most, and not just what his heart wanted.
I felt such resonation with the characters when they described their feelings of shame and pain, when they discussed the darker elements of their life and the confusions of not knowing where things could lead. This was beautifully done and I feel like it is a must read for the plot.
Do it FOR THE FANS.
