Reviews with content warning for Homophobia - Inmune a ti

I liked the story, and loved the relationship, but I didn't like the elements of fetishization of lesbians, and the complete lack of good diverse representation which is something to consider (and also why I can't rate above a 2).

Would be a better book if it weren't for all the slut-shaming, sexism and subtle, but still noticeable, lesbophobia, homophobia, transphobia and racism.

I loved this book. I very much didn’t expect to love this book, but I loved it! I tried to avoid this series for a very long time, and me picking it back up after the first book was more out of convenience, but I’m glad I read these books. I love the relationship between Dean and Allie as much as I love the characters separate from one another. Their chemistry was explosive and I enjoyed the way their relationship developed over the course of the book. I even liked the drama towards the end of the book, which isn’t very typical for me. Usually I’m over it before it even starts, but this time around I couldn’t help but be invested. And it gave the characters more chances to grow and develop and it made me feel a lot of emotions so that’s also a tick in my book.
All in all I loved the book: it made me giddy, made me full out laugh (at 2 am so thank you very much for that), it made me cry, it made me feel everything. (I never expected a book series about hockey players falling in love to make me cry, but here we are.)

I have to take away some points though, for the blatant heteronormativity, and the “I’m so masculine, I call people p***y” remarks that are sadly present in all the books in this series… (never liked that, never enjoyed that, cringe every time it happens, cannot effing stand it!) Oh and not to forget the over sexualization of wlw. It’s disgusting and harmful!

I am also very much not over the Beau thing. It was rude and it broke my heart!! Did not expect that to happen, nor that it would hit me this hard, but I am still very much upset about it!!
