I loved this couple. Their connection and the fact that Gracie helped Tyler so much even with his rough history. She helped him navigate his trauma. They were just perfect for each other.

Personally I find the trope of over protective boyfriends/brothers/any man a little dated and not all that cute. I think we should stop romanticizing it. Overall a cute story, I liked that there was more conflict than in the first book.
Hannah did it again. I absolutely love Tyler and Gracie. From brothers best friend to found family I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read Adam’s story!

What an emotional rollercoaster🥹 the trajectory + development of Tyler + Gracie’s relationship was flawless and I loved these two. The chemistry was fire, I didn’t see the twist coming, the writing was perfect + the emotional depth was brilliant as we learn of Tyler’s dark upbringing that contributes to his major “hates everyone but her” vibe. I loved witnessing Tyler learn to open up + let his vulnerable side show and Gracie was such a fun, feisty, strong + sassy character, who I adored from the start and who gave me major Adalyn vibes (I later realised that she is ofc Adalyn’s aunt in the later stories so this makes sense + if intentional, was done perfectly🥲)
Content Warnings
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Drug abuse
I didn’t feel any connection with the characters . I liked book one but this just felt hollow compared to that . The relationship was one sided she was obsessed with him since she was 16 . When he pushes her away she is relentless and desperate for his attention and he loves it . She practically begs him to be her boyfriend and he gives in like ? No Thankyou I would actually want somebody to want to be with me
⭐⭐⭐ It was okay, ignoring the issues for a fun read (average not a standout)
The rules were clear to everyone: Gracie Hutton was off-limits. However, Tyler Bateman has never been one to adhere to rules. Now, she's poised to become his ultimate temptation. Tyler has never experienced an easy day, working hard for everything he has. Hockey is his refuge, a passion he never anticipated. He aims to succeed, to prove his worth. He never expected her to be significant, didn't want her to be. Yet, she has different plans, and now his best friend's sister is on the verge of disrupting his life. And he might just allow it.
Something about this series is just not hitting for me, I dont know if it's that it's written for immature or just overly dramatic but it is not a stand out for me. It is very fast paced (so again that could be the issue), a lot happens and it is very action packed. I love the brother's best friend trope but FUCK ME, Oakley was RIDICULOUS in this book like bro chill your sister is not a bay. Given how OTT Oakley was I was expecting the sneaking around to go on for longer. I think too much is packed into a short book. I yo-yoed about wether or not I liked Tyler so much through but by the end I really enjoyed him as character. I LOVED Gracie as a FMC though, she was really strong fmc and stands up to the people that deserve it. I felt like the twist was glossed over as well as a loss that occurs towards the end. I am unsure if more will be developed in the next novella. I will definitely return to Hannah's book but these books are giving ✨debut author✨.
Tropes: sports romance (hockey), brother's best friend, no third act break up
Triggers: childhood abuse, absentee mother, toxic sibling, loss of a parent(s)
