Chapters 83 and 93 should have never been in Rachel's perspective. That should've been Caleb or Jake *at least*.
But anyway I was shook to my core when I saw the amount of pages but I ate them right up.
Smut was 11/10
Character dynamics were phenomenal.
The writing did not give 14 year old wattpad fanfic.
Good smut + decent writing = hooked, line, and sinker
Sometimes it felt like you were stuck at the same problem over and over in different fonts like you're just reusing the same conflicts. "Yes I do love you this can work".
Speaking of which thank fuck for this part cause I was just about fed tf up
this game with you. At least, I know I’m not. I will not spend a single
moment of my time convincing you to stay—”
“Don’t be an asshole,” Jake growls at me.
“I’m not being an asshole,” I counter. “I’m knowing my own self-worth. I
don’t beg the people I love to love me back. Jake, get off your fucking knees,
and stop being a pussy. If she wants to go, let her go. If she wants to stay, let
her stay. We don’t try to convince her either way.”
“Agreed,” says Mars, crossing his arms over his bare chest
I did start to get a bit annoyed with Rachel's character and having chapters I think shouldn't be in her pov being in her pov didn't help but from the jump I was ready to give this book 5 stars and I still hold it in very high regard.

This book is downright filthy and disgusting…and I loved it. The spice was wonderful.
As a huge hockey fan, I LOVED that Emily Rath actually knew what she was talking about. It can be painful to read hockey books when things aren’t accurate.
Caleb was my least favorite of the partners. I appreciated the dominance he brought to the table, but I didn’t feel like he and Rachel were on nearly the same level as Ilmari and Rachel or Jake and Rachel. His moments with her never made me feel the same way the other guys’ moments with her did. By the end, my mind kind of changed the dynamic to be something along the lines of Caleb and Rachel sharing Jake, and Jake and Ilmari sharing Rachel, not all of them sharing Rachel. However, that doesn’t mean that I disliked him overall. I just thought of him more as Rachel’s bestie.
I do wish that Rachel married Jake instead of Ilmari, given their history and Jake’s need for reassurance, but I do get why it happened the way it did.

This is a hockey romance so the violence and blood is contained to on the ice. There are brief mentions of drug abuse and suicide attempt in the FMCs past.apolen's review
