I loved this, just like I loved Zanders and Stevie’s story, but maybe slightly less? Overall, it’s a really well-rounded series with very likable and relatable main characters (even Ryan Shay and Zanders, professional athletes hahaha). I loved the book-love going on in this book, and appreciated the author writing about fertility issues. Ryan is a sweet man, and I loved his sense of humor as well. I really just enjoy the set of characters Liz Tomforde has created, and I’m excited for Caught Up (Kai’s story) in October!

“with you, I can be myself, and that might seem like nothing to anyone else, but to me, it’s everything.”

‘I refuse to stay in a space that isn’t meant for me, just like I stayed in a relationship that was no longer my future.’

‘And not in the way I’ve felt loneliness before by simply not having others around, but by being without the one person who makes me feel valued and worthy of the space I’m occupying. That my voice is worth hearing.’

“Do you know how to growl?” 
“What?” 
“Yeah, I don’t really know what that’s supposed to sound like, but every one of my book boyfriends is big into growling. Oh! And can you darken your eyes?”

“Sometimes the quietest love is the loudest,”

This book is out of this freaking world!!! I’m obsessed with it and this couple and will definitely be rereading this series after the third installment comes out.

The first interactions between Indy and Ryan happens in the first book Mile High and it’s funny to see how those first impressions of Indy put off Ryan once she moved in. When Ryan lies to his GM about her being his girlfriend, they come up with a plan to make it work which has their tension at an all time high. Between their insta-lust and slowburn friends to lovers, their chemistry is amazing and omg can this man dirty talk🤭 Their banter is adorable and I love how it’s a true depiction of grumpy x sunshine bc their personalities are exactly that. Where Ryan is reserved, quiet and doesn’t really show his emotions, Indy is the opposite by outgoing, social, and not afraid to cry when the moment calls for it. I love these two and am in love with the progression of their relationship from beginning to end. Seeing Ryan open up to Indy was heartwarming and the angst made me want to cry, which made it a true 5 star read☺️
