Very slow burn romance but very satisfying. Also, I typically don't go for sports-themed romances, but the football and the marriage-of-convenience trope here were both really just a backdrop in this story of two people learning to trust and love each other.

Oh, Mariana. How I love this book ❤️

I adore a book where you feel all the feels. 
We went through hating the grump football player Aiden, to tolerating him, yo understanding him, then loving him. 🫠

I do love when a dumb single minded (football) man opens up his eyes to see what is right in front of his face. 🙈👀👋

Vanessa knew her worth and wasn't a pushover. I love that about her. Aiden was protective but let her do her own thing. 🥰

I don't re-read many books, but this is definitely on the list 💕💖

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Not knowing much before going in was a great surprise. But also if you like slow burn and “guy falls first”, read this.

I’ve read a few other MZ books and although this one had a definite change in familial tone compared to the others I’ve read of hers, it made sense for the plot.

Only few things made me unhappy with this book, but overall it was great. I especially loved how it was missing the generic climax moment all romance books tend to have towards the end. It made reading this so much more enjoyable.
