- My review is for all three books
- The series is wonderful yet Sakavic found a way to ruin it every time it began to shine. From the unneeded
sex scenes-which frankly felt forced and were included for the sake of fanservice, entire lulls in between rushed arcs, to the edgy, dramatic, and repetitive situations all come off as above average quality Wattpad mafia fanfics. That being said Sakavic still had me wanting to find out what happened to the characters despite my aversion to sport themed content normally. Finally, the ending felt entirely too rushed and highlighted how Sakavic uses trauma as a romance plot rather than the seriousness it should have been dealt with.

Everyone always says how much they love this series, but they never mention just how freaking disturbing it is. Like, there's an on-page rape scene (the end of it, but the description is pretty obvious as to what happened) and really dark discussions of past trauma.
There's a violently arophobic passage in the middle that caught me completely off guard. Again, something nobody ever mentions.
I still barely see the main couple's attraction, and I've looking for it because that's all anyone ever seems to talk about when they mention this trilogy. Two books in and there isn't much to go on. I get that it's supposed to be slow burn, but this is almost non-existent burn... At this rate, it would take 2 more books for it to be somewhat believable if they ever get together.
So yeah, it's addictive, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I just put all the content warnings in the ‘Graphic’ section because this series basically has all of them in your face at one point or another. WARNING! This book shows a graphic sexual assault scene! Book 1 mostly implies it happening in a character’s past but in this book there is an actual scene! Please be careful!!reidyreads's review against another edition

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless you’re my friend and you’re funny.
