This book is very long and there were some things I felt could be cut out, some relationships I felt could be tamed down. But overall, I really enjoyed this! The spicy scenes were excellent. Nate as a character is phenomenal. He’s a great example of what healthy masculinity looks like without being perfect.

Really liked this novel-good spice level, medium to low stakes, quick read! Loved the modern setting, the characters were a lot of fun. I do think some of the heavier subject matter was a little clunky but not mis-handled.

3.0

Too much filler and not enough plot to balance well. But also a new plot point hitting every few chapters with minimal resolution. We never got more info on Aaron’s actions. Half of the storyline in the book description didn’t happen until 50% in, which is bizarre. 

Started off well but ended up being a rage finish to be able to stop reading the book.

5.0

  I'll admit that I came into this book with low expectations , because of booktoks habit of hyping up books with sex scenes in them regardless If they're actually good books are not, But this one? This one was amazing. I don't think there's really a single part of this book where I wasn't satisfied with the way it went. 

    I love the way the romance was handled. I love the way the book doesn't try to toss in a whole bunch of sports information when it's not necessary for this story.  I love the communication my god I love the communication , it's very rare to see in romance books. I love the friendships, Love the non toxic sports friend group , They were gonestly one of the best parts of the story without overpowering the main couple.  I fell in love with everyone,  especially Henry , hopefully we get a book on him. I love how the FL's friendships and problems were handled. Her inner monolgue perfectly portrayed someone who had a therapist and I love that.

my one gripe would be that I wish they'd adopted like she planned , that would've been really sweet story wise considering her back<\spoiler>

    And the sex scenes? Extremely detailed but great to read .  Not cringey at all to me . And consent !!! with full communication throughout!! So rare to see sometimes. 

   Read the book. If you were on the fence about this story , I swear to you you'll enjoy it in some form. High praise to the author , can't wait to start on the next book in the series.
