I'm too monogamous. the spice was fine- but why mingle so many feelings, it sounds exhausting which is not what I look for when reading lol
spice 🌶 - a 5 🌶 spicy - i mean... its a lot. a lot a lot.
length - too long. toooo long.
reading speed - first 500 pages- 4 days, last 200? 3 weeks. I invested too much time to dnf.
did it make me cry? - nope. unless wishing it was finished counts as a cry for this book.

I get that it's a major part of the story, but it feels like there was more focus put into the smut than the actual plot, making the rest of the book feel very watered down. this book definitely didn't need to be that long and no where near as much sex was needed.
That being said, i did love all the characters and enjoyed seeing how they connected (p.s. jake is the best)

Probably my own fault for not thoroughly reading the warnings… I did however read the Finnish dictionary pages and this was a major spoiler for how the book was going to play out - I suggest these go at the end of the book instead.
For me, this book had the premise to be a great hockey romance which could stand out from the rest by covering a less commonly written about lifestyle. However for me, the smut was just too much & it was at the detriment of the storyline. I also felt like the Jake I was reading about was a totally different character to the one I met in the prequel.
I found it incredibly frustrating we only heard about Rachel’s good deeds right at the very end of the book!! This would have given her so much more depth.. to be honest I found her to be a bit one dimensional.
So much promise but this was too much smut & too little storyline for me! If you are to read it, please carefully read all the warnings!!
