I jumped into this book completely blind, it looked like a sports romance but I was pleasantly surprised by the gut wrenching story I was in for instead. Kennedy Ryan is a new author to me but I cannot wait to read the rest of this series and the other books I have by her already on my physical tbr.
Iris is the strongest FMC I’ve ever read, and her story was so horrifically yet so beautifully written.
PLEASE read TW before reading! (I don’t have any TW which is why I don’t do this) Without reading the blurb, this book looks like any normal sports romance by its cover, but it is not. This books main focus is domestic violence and has extremely triggering instances throughout the entirety of the book consisting of heavily detailed SA and physical abuse by the FMC’s husband (not the MMC).
That being said, I loved this book and am so grateful for Kennedy for writing this story. It needed to be told. 🖤

I understand this book takes on a difficult topic, but it absolutely should not be marketed as a romance novel. The absolutely atrocious amount of details of the abuse was very unnecessary and didn't bring anything of value to the book. The warnings should be much more drastic, and the plot description should reflect the severety of the DETAILED abuse. I had to skip majority of the second quarter of it because the descriptions made me sick. I doubt anyone starting this book was expecting to read scenes where FMCs boyfriend brutally violates and physically abuses her. Repeatedly. Also the way the book just absolutely skips over abortion being a viable possibility for the FMC enraged me. She didn't love him, she didn't want to have a baby, they weren't even married and she already knew she would be dependant on him. Abortion is motioned in one sentence. Honestly tragic.
