I enjoyed this story! Their love story was refreshing, I loved following along as new problems would present themselves and the two of them would find a solution — together. They came a long way from pushing each other (and their emotions) away for the sake of her brother. he’s an adult and so is she, i found their constant need to push away quite irritating!
A few parts of the story made me tear up, Ana does a great job at making you fall in love with the characters in the story within a few pages.
Also, I loved reading as Scarlett conquered fears and put her past to rest.. on her own terms. It truly was inspiring a bit to read her thought process as she figured out solutions or realized she was pushing herself too hard. She came a long way from where she started in the beginning, I think she’s absolutely glowing now.

Complicated
The story is good, but I'm still unsure whether I like it or not. I've read better sports romances, and both better and worse Ana Huang's books before.
This is a millionaire romance that wears a mask of a sports romance. The sports play a surprisingly small (but not insignificant!) part in the plot, even though it is the starting point to create forced proximity and the cause of small vonflicts throughout the plot. However, the plot revolves more around the personalities, struggles, and the insta-lust romance of Asher the football superstar and Scarlett the ex-ballerina.
Usually millionaire romance and insta lust are hard tropes to win me over properly, and this book joined that group of reads. It was hard for me to relate to or like the characters much, because their lifestyle and some characteristics feel so unrealistic it jars the reading experience.
Every now and then the MCs showcase how entitled they are in life regardless all the struggles they have gone and are still going through. Asher being a star athlete has made him filthy rich, and his lavish lifestyle of almost thoughtless luxuries feels so foreign – especially when the main couple seems to mostly consider it something normal in life. They have a casually entitled and selfish attitude in life (it seems like money really can fix everything when you don't have to think about it at all). Scarlett goes as far as calling herself a hypocrite who likes rules as long as they are hers.
The couple has many good qualities as well, such as Asher being very thoughtfull towards those he cares about (and seems like he is a mind reader in bed, doing everything just right with barely any communication 🙄) and Scarlett being a stubbornly resilient person who encourages resilience on others too.
