now when I tell yall this was a book that was high on my NEED to read when it was announced I hope you know I’m not exaggerating. This was such a fun book. Ugh I loved both our MMC’s and LOVED Arden. The tension was so good and the SPICE my god. C.L does it again. I was sweating and giggling throughout my entire plane trip. It had a very simple plot which for me worked well and balanced everything else that was happening. I do wish we got more baseball but that’s just because I’m an absolute sl*t for baseball 

Overall, I was not disappointed at all by this book and it live up to my expectations!! I had the best time reading this series and I can’t wait to read more by C.L Rose in the future ⚾️3️⃣🌷

 Candice has a way of making her books so dang spicy but also adding so much depth to her stories and characters that I am unable to put them down! And having Arden be an athlete as well!! AMAZING!

The balance between Arden, Hawk, and Jackson was so well done!!! They complimented each other in the best way! They are all so different but what they each bring to the relationship binds them together beautifully!! Arden gets the best of both worlds with her men! Hawk is the grumpy to Jackson sunshine!! Jackson and Hawk give Arden two totally different pleasures but the way they work together is a freaking masterpiece!!

Candice you are a gem of a writer and continue to blow my mind with what you come up with!!

“If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that Arden is the only person that matters in our world. As long as we have her, we can get through anything.”

C.L. ROSE CAME IN HOT! She slayed this book!  

Arden is a professional volleyball player, and she landed her dream job for the first female pro volleyball team in Florida. Lucky for her, her stepbrother (Jackson)lives in Florida with his best friend (Hawk)and he has plenty of room for her to stay .Jacks and Hawk both have been pining for Arden, but have never said it out loud.  Now, that they are living together, Hawk and Jacks can’t seem to stay away from her.Also ,Arden shares the same attraction. Arden suffers from anxiety. Hawk and Jackson both know how to help her through her issues in very different ways that seem to work for them. Each has qualities that complete each other. All three are in the spotlight in their respective careers. Can this relationship work under the spotlight?

Candice’s tagline, “New kinks unlocked,” is 100% accurate. I’m always looking forward to seeing which one gets unlocked next. Hawk is the grumpy, broken boy who loves degradation and is very naughty and intense in the sheets. While Jackson is all sunshine and positivity. He is full of praise and calling you a good girl. These men are polar opposites that make up Arden’s perfect match. This girl seriously won the lottery. This book did not just overheat me; it gave me all the feels. My heart went out to Arden for her anxiety issues. I love the way Candice wrote about it. IYKYK.  This was a great finale to this series. I’m excited to see what new kink is coming our way next. 

Tropes: Baseball, MFM, Why Choose, Soft Dom vs Hard Dom, Stepbrother, Stepbrothers Best Friend, Pro Volleyball, Grumpy/Sunshine MMC’s, Anxiety Rep.

Thank you so much, Candice, for the ARC!

Overall, good. Spicy MFM “sports” romance. Both MMCs are baseball players although it’s only about 1% baseball. FMC is a volleyball player. Only slightly more written about this. One MMC is her stepbrother (he fell in love with her before their parents started dating) and the other is his best friend. Forced proximity. Degradation/praise

The panic attack rep was INTENSE and gave me flashbacks of my own partner saying "come back to me".
