story was decent. I liked the stem. I liked the sports aspect. the spice was obviously set more around bdsm which isn't my favorite but in the end they realize more of what it means to love someone. I felt like it dragged a little. there were quite a few jumps in the timeline where I prefer more continuous or fewer time jumps.

another 3.5 star book from ali hazelwood. not bad but ending lowkey felt rushed

I already liked this author and with this book I'm convinced I want to read more from her
The plot was more spicy than her other books, maybe a little too much I would say
But the characters were lovable and the book was so easily read
While keeping it fun, she made our protagonists relatable and raised awarness of the effects of overthinking
The tension and romance had me giggling the whole time
Her mentioning of characters from her book "The Love Theorum" had me pleasantly surprised
funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

I loved everything about this book! it was sexy, funny, introspective, and I loved every single page! The only thing I didn't support it was the ending... that character (iykyk) had to grovel more towards our FMC. I didn't like her actions from the beginning, even if there was an improvement in the middle, but in the ending, it was totally unacceptable. Ok, all her pretty words to ask for forgiveness, but I wanted more! As I wanted more of the ending! I need at least one more bonus scene about them!

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Not usually my cup of tea, but goddammit Lukas is so hot and the BDSM is immaculate. Eat your heart out 50 Shades!
