“I think it takes a certain level of trust to sit next to someone and not feel the pressing urge to babble away.”

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn’t have the first clue about what she’s going to do after college. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won’t include the king of one-night stands.

I didn’t expect to fall so deeply for Dean and Allie, but it happened. I also didn't expect this to get so heavy so definitely check the trigger warnings! But overall I was shocked by how lovable I found Dean and his relationship with Allie.

I think this one was the funniest out of the series by far! Oh my god, Dean’s charisma had me giggling and cackling out loud, especially the moment when Logan finds him in the bathtub, my boyfriend thought I was a loon laughing in the living room. THE SMUT MY GOD, these two nearly beat the moment with Garrett and Hannah for me. Also Allie I relate with as she is a fellow theatre kid. I also agree with Dean’s crash needing to kick him in the ass my god I was mad at him. I am scared to know how Beau plays in Tucker’s novel

y’all let me just jump into this. my bbg allie? i love her. she is literally one of the strongest main characters you will ever meet. ngl i finished the book just because of her.

dean was literally my bae until like the last hmmmm 10%. i hold grudges so fresh out of the book sure i have a place in my heart for dean but i feel a bit hurt.

the side characters and i were attached at the hip. ALLIES DAD? THATS MY HOMIE BRO. i literally learned so much from that man it’s crazy. like he genuinely made me think and feel safe. i love that man. also in this book my respect for garrett just increased.

sean can jump off a cliff. like actually idc. if anyone deserves hate it’s this man.

but yeah 88% of this book is literally smutt but the characters are fun and enjoyable. i love dean and allie’s relationship <3

This is my favourite in the series so far by a long shot. I loved the chemistry between Dean and Allie and the development of their relationship. Also, I will never consider myself safe in the last 10% of a book ever again. I was ugly crying for the last part of this book.
