Some books we love and some books just don’t hit the spot. This is one of those books for me. I love the author and narrators but this book wasn’t for me. I enjoyed others in the series though, so don’t let this put you off. It’s just a personal taste thing.
Jordy was a nice guy, I really liked him in the previous book, and I loved his interactions with Harper and his want to do whatever it took. Harper was great, even if her ‘no hockey player’ rule wasn’t really explained or at least didn’t come across as important enough for the way she treated Jordy to begin with. She came across as the Ice Princess she was pretending to be at the auction. Once she finally gave in, they were great together. I liked the updates on the couples from the previous books. It ended well, and I was happy that the conflict didn’t last long, that with a little communication they were able to get themselves back on track and in love.
Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood were great as Jordy and Harper. They bring the characters to life and deliver such fantastic performances.
I have to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of bets. It shows such a disregard for the person. Now, I’ve read and listened to some that made it work, but for me, this book doesn’t fall into that category. Jordy never tried to put an end to it and allowed his teammates-his friends to speak about it in such a jerky way. The fact that the subject was also their coach’s daughter, just didn’t make sense or sit well with me. Had this been the first instead of the last book, I don’t think I would have listened to any more in the series.

"You're not like all of the other girls." is a major buzzkill for me. DNF.

So... I was going to give this book at least two stars, but then I thought "I literally finished this book an hour ago and cannot remember a single thing that happened in it". And I decided to rate it 1.5
This was by first(ish) audiobook ever, and... we're off to a rocky start because this... This was a cringe fest through and through. I'd just like to think that the problem is the book and not the audio, but I guess listening to smut is not the same as reading it?
Also, I literally started a series with the last book and I was missing so much context.
However, I decided to take this book humourously and wrote down some of the cringiest quotes (even though they might not be literal transcription):
1. Guys talking about going down on a woman: You have to start as if you were a butterfly sipping nectar and finish off as if you were a rottweiler devouring a steak.
????? Please, keep your rottweiler away from my coochie. Thank you.
2. She said she was not like other girls and that's when I knew I was done.
3. There's literally a bet.
When are we gonna stop using bets as a trope in romance? They are never good, they never make any sense and I wouldn't trust ever again a person that betted on playing me.
4. Jordie said: "I'm growing on her like a fungus".
That sounded so much better in your head, sir.
5. Jordie also said: "I have a big dick. It's not braggy, it's just the truth".
If you have to say that it is not braggy, then I'm gonna feel IT IS INDEED BRAGGY.
6. Of course Jordie also said: "The caveman inside me wants to pound his chest, but the urgent need to fill her with my cock wins out".
What are you talking about, sir? I felt so violated hearing someone say that next to my ear.
That's it. You're welcome.

I knew what was going to happen before it happened in this book. Was it a trope? Of course! But it was a nice read nevertheless.

Had to ignore the “I’m not like other girls comment” but otherwise LOVED.
“It’s in that moment that I know. Even if Harper never gets around to writing her novel, I know without a doubt that she’s the heroine in my story.”
