This was fun! I was a bit hesitant on Ryan at first but he really grew on me <3 Ryan and Indy's relationship is SO tender and really just quiet love and reading about them was so sweet. I think at times the book was too long-winded and couldn't keep my attention as long as the previous one did, which is why it isn't 5 stars but it was always fun when I picked it up again!

If I could give it all the stars, I would!!

Two words: Ryan. Shay. I mean come on, this man is now in the top-tier of book boyfriends for me. This was my first read in the Windy City series, and yes I know here I am starting a series not at book one, but when I saw the tropes I could not NOT read it okay? From best friend's brother to roommates to fake dating? Yes, yes, and so much yes!! Ryan and Indy balanced each other so well and I adored how much they paid attention to one another. There is plenty of banter, a delicious slow burn into spice, and the character development was so well done.

Although this is part of a series, it could be read as a standalone, but there will be spoilers from Mile High. If you're a fan of sport romances, I would definitely check this series out!

Favorite Quote:

"I just need your quiet love because those moments are the loudest declarations l've ever heard."

Ryan is totally husband material. If you find someone even just half like him in real life, marry him. (By the way, I like how Liz handle the vegetarian situation. Indy never forced other people close in her life to change their diet and even would cook meat for her family and Ryan's teammates)

Heat: 🔥🔥

While this book was really cute and Ryan Shay really was the perfect book boyfriend that he was made out to be in other people’s reviews, I couldn’t get over the the representation of Chicago. That may be a super nitpicky thing, but it really bothered me. I didn’t notice in Mile High because they barely spent anytime in Chicagoland, but most of this book took place in Chicago and I have a few critiques:

1) They move to a house “a half an hour out of the city” where Ryan says that they can see so many stars. Yeah, I’ve lived an hour outside of Chicago for the majority of my life and there is so much light pollution that I’m more likely to see an orange sky than more than three stars most nights.

2) People that live in Chicago love talking about what neighborhood they live in. The fact that it’s never mentioned what neighborhood it is simply wouldn’t happen.

3) Since the majority of this book takes place in winter. We love to complain about the weather here, especially how cold it is with the lake chill, so the fact that it’s not mentioned at all is bizarre to me.

I really did enjoy this book, but I’m just really protective of Chicago. I know that these are seriously the most nitpicky things in the world, so this is basically my campaign to be a beta reader for any of Liz Tomforde’s future books set in Chicago!
