Another witty, quick, sexy read. Loved the Callahan family yet again. Pennys reasoning for some things was a bit drastic and over drawn. Cooper was so easy to love. Their friendship to sex buddies to relationship was not over the top. Fun read

I enjoyed first down, enough that i decided to pick this book up, I wish I had read this book sooner!!!!!

𝐼 𝓈𝓃𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓈 𝐼’𝓋𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓃 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝓉𝑜 𝑒𝓃𝒿𝑜𝓎 𝓁𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓁𝓎, 𝓃𝒶𝓂𝑒𝓁𝓎 𝒷𝓎 𝓂𝓎 𝑒𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝒻𝒶𝓋𝑜𝓇𝒾𝓉𝑒𝓈, 𝒯𝒶𝓎𝓁𝑜𝓇 𝒮𝓌𝒾𝒻𝓉 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝐻𝒶𝓇𝓇𝓎 𝒮𝓉𝓎𝓁𝑒𝓈.

Both Cooper and Penny are super fleshed out,

Penny strugles with sex after having a bad experience her first time. The stress from that experience caused her to fall duing her short program cauing her to tare an ACL runing her chance at being a pro figure skater.

Cooper has been playing hockey for a kid, and is working on becoming captin during his sr year at Mckey University, His broken relationship with his farther is contantly being pushed but after being manipulated by his uncle his dad forces cooper to listen to him

“𝒞𝑜𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇, 𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃’𝓉. 𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃’𝓉 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊.” 𝐼’𝓂 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓂𝓎 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝒹 𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒷𝑒𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓈𝒽𝑒 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓃 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝒶𝓁𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔. “𝒴𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝑔𝑜𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓂𝑒. 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝒾𝓉 𝒾𝓈, 𝓎𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝑔𝑜𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒 𝓂𝑒.”

The story follows the charecters rather than a set plot, I find some books strugle with that but this book dosen't at all!! It works really well, I could tell you about the plot that was going on but the charecters were the main part of the book.

“𝐼 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝐼’𝒹 𝒷𝑒 𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒶𝑔𝒶𝒾𝓃.”

I recomend reading the Trigger warnings for this book before reading.

“𝒞𝑜𝑜𝓅𝑒𝓇, 𝐼 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓃’𝓉 𝒷𝑒𝑒𝓃 𝒶 𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝒹 𝒻𝒶𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝑜 𝓎𝑜𝓊. 𝒲𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝐼 𝓈𝒶𝓌 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓁𝑜𝑜𝓀𝑒𝒹 𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓃𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉—𝓂𝓎 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝒷𝓇𝑜𝓀𝑒. 𝐼’𝓂 𝓈𝑜𝓇𝓇𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝑒𝒹 𝓊𝓅 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝓈𝑜 𝒷𝒶𝒹𝓁𝓎. 𝒜𝓃𝒹 𝐼 𝓃𝑒𝑒𝒹𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝒾𝓉. 𝐼 𝒽𝑜𝓅𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝓅𝓁𝒶𝓃𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝓃 𝓀𝑒𝑒𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁 𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹, 𝒷𝑒𝒸𝒶𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝒾𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒸𝑜𝓇𝓃𝑒𝓇.”

I’m not lying they had sex in every chapter. And they called each other “baby” “baby girl” “love” “gummy bear” just cringe stuff. But man did he know how to use that mouth 😉

I liked parts of this but had 1 too many conflict and was way too long

Probably should have soon but I was trying to push through. This book is way too long for no plot just smut. Books like that should be max 200 pages bot 414 plus another 10 pages of extended epilogue. Some of the scenes were just cringe.
