I love the writing style of this book. It was fun, smart, emotional and sexy.
It was perfectly understated in the best ways. It’s a first read by this author for me. It won’t be my last.
Harlow and Conor are fiery and full of life characters.
There’s humor, great banter, real college angst and deep human emotions. (The angst is true to life, not overplayed at all.)
Sports/college romance has a few styles, I like all. This one was really refreshing! No over the top drama, no drawn out misunderstandings, no black and white characterizations.
I really liked the characters, I felt like I understood them. I also felt like they were both thoughtful even when they made missteps.
I loved them together. I felt so much empathy for them. I love their interactions and their chemistry was hot and emotional at times.
I didn’t feel like unnecessary scenes or secondary characters were written. Everything has a reason.
Both characters are intertwined in a really interesting way, it played out naturally and in such a mature and moving way.
Both characters have depth, humor and heart.
I really enjoyed the flow of their story and where the journey took them.
It’s a full story with growth, that was a very important aspect to this book for me.
The secondary characters are very important to the story, yet they don’t overshadow or get excessive scenes. I understood them, their motives without needing a lot of details. I think that’s a testament to the writers skill.
Conor and Harlow are really sympathetic, lovable and enjoyable characters.
Their story was a pleasure to read and put warmth in heart and a smile on my face. I loved this book!

Would’ve been 5 stars if I didn’t hate Hugh and Allison with the passion of a thousand suns. It really burns me up inside that they got a happy ending, Hugh especially.

4.5 stars!
I actually loved this book. While the first few chapters had me a little unsure of how the trajectory of the book would go, it was GREAT! I loved Harlow and Conor. It picked up speed and got pretty dang good about 4 chapters in. I could not put it down.
Harlow is a senior at college. You get a little bit of background info about her but her parents died in a drunk driving accident so she was adopted or taken in by her moms best friend. Ironically enough, she now gets to live with her best friend, Landon. She is taken in by Landon’s family, her mom’s best friend and husband, helping her navigate her life through college and being a big supporter of her.
Conor is the captain of the hockey team, raised by a single mom, and loathes Harlow. While many think it’s bc she dated a guy on the hockey team and now all his teammates adore her, there’s another reason why. Harlow’s family who took her in, that’s Conor’s dad and step mom. Quite a sticky web.
I loved the interactions between the main characters. I loved how they bantered and just their personalities. It made for such a great story. To see how they go from hating each other to tolerating to liking to loving is perfect and done flawlessly. CW Farnsworth is becoming one of my new favorite authors. She literally engrosses you and makes you so consumed with her stories you can’t stop until you finish.
This was the perfect mix of enemies to lovers, hockey, college issues, sprinkled in with some family drama. I immediately started the second book which has these characters but the focus is one of Conor’s roommates/teammates.
