Even if you're not a sports romance reader, this book has a little bit of everything for every kind if reader. The ending is kind of corny, but I expected nothing less from a fluff book like this.

I love Anastasia and Nate they are so cute and a perfect match!! I loved how they helped eachother grow and that Anastasia finally noticed what a piece of shit Aaron is (sorry for my rudeness but Aaron deserves it!). The Ending was perfect I am so happy for them and that they achieved their dreams but now I wanna see them with their little girl o̴̶̷̥᷅﹏o̴̶̷̥᷅ Still it was so cute♡♡♡

• I decided to read this book because it was super hyped on TikTok - Had mixed reviews (some people enjoyed it and some hated it/didn’t understand the hype)
• I didn’t hate it, but I wasn’t obsessed to understand the TikTok hype
• It was very slow at the start and I was under motivated to read further - beginning should have reader motivated to delve into the story
• Read like a Wattpad book at times, I cringed at times at the writing
• The sex scenes were hyped to be spicy, but I’ve read spicer - The age of the characters had me cringing at the dirty words they were speaking (college romance)
• Felt uncomfortable at times - the college coach commenting on Anastasia’s sex life and Nate’s genital size.
• Anastasia annoyed me a lot because of her lack for back bone towards Aaron who was manipulative
• Not sure I liked her friends with benefits introduction

This is the epitome of enemies to lovers!! I’m not just obsessed with her relationship with Nate, but with all the guys. I love the family they find together. This book is so sexy and sweet and just so good!! I definitely see why it’s everyone’s favorite hockey romance.

I actively avoided this book for over a year because it was a "booktok book" and I genuinely regret not reading it sooner. It's not perfect but it is way better than I expected and an enjoyable read. It's not all spice with no plot which was a very real concern of mine going in but it's a good story with spice throughout, the only proper way to write a spicy book in my opinion as a smut reader since the age of 13. The plot gets a bit predictable at points but is still able to grip you. The characters are lovely (

except Arron

) and were where I got most of my enjoyment from. I will absolutely be reading more from this author in the future.
