This book was a very cute, but also very spicy read.
The fake dating trope turned very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, into not so fake dating, and while I appreciate the lack of a third act breakup, I felt like the plot was a little too straightforward and too little drama, which made it feel drawn out unnecessarily.
It was very spicy, but could’ve done with cutting some of the scenes out, as they felt a little repetitive,
Nonetheless I very much enjoyed the book and it was a fun palate cleanser for in between heavier books.

i loved the set up and the tension and their banter! but was def too long for my taste and honestly just TMI at some points (esp. the spicy scenes lol but that’s just me) and i LOVED seeing the set up for the next book in the series and getting to read about pippa and jamie again

this one was incredible! the banter, the funny remarks, the love and adoration for each other, the fake-dating that went from fake to totally not fake real quick - everything! hazel and rory are really just the perfect match. i love how she is this stubborn fmc that stands up for herself and others and doesn't take shit from anyone while also being an immensely caring person who looks after everyone and wants to make her dreams come true while also being a tad scared of falling in love. and rory is just the perfect mix between a golden retriever boyfriend and possessive caveman, i love how sure he always was about himself and hazel getting together and how he evolved during the whole book, not only personally but also in his way to play hockey. the whole issue with connor, the greatest asshole to ever be written about, was kinda annoying because i hated that prick so much that i could've thrown the biggest tantrum whenever he appeared...but it made hazel and rory fall for each other during their whole time faking their relationship, so it was fine. i also liked how both of them worked on resolving their family issues together and it made me happy how everything turned out in the end. oh, and the spicy scenes were amazing, too
all in all, i absolutely loved this book! and i'm so looking forward to my boy hayden's book - i can't wait!
