Gotta start this off by saying I am here for Stevie. A curvy, plus sized POC fmc who is working on her self love. *chefs kiss* I love this girl.
Now, Zee “daddy” Zanders has officially been added to my list of book boyfriends. Dominant, brutally honest, gives good banter, melts for his niece, talks dirty and backs it up, kinky, self aware and in therapy, dog dad…. If it wasn’t for that end game stumble of his this book might have been five stars.
Alas, Miles High falls victim to leaning on the miscommunication trope for its end game issues. But Liz put in all the ground work to carry the trope off with minimal head banning and screaming at the mc’s.
I couldn’t stay mad, and the end game character growth really made up for putting me through that. I have a strong feeling I will be devouring the rest of this series, because I am so here for the side characters and Ryan and Indy deserve all the love.
Also the spice in this book had me blushing, and laughing, and squirming all throughout. Theres such a good balance between plot and smut, and I am here for the praise kink and light choking. These two are so hot together! Ahhh!!!!
For anyone unsure about investing the time into a romance this long, just know it’s worth it. The book fleshes out so many of its characters and that leads to a loveable cast of side characters and it doesn’t rush the romance. Theres no instalove here (except mine for Stevie, Rosie, Xanders, Indy and Ryan) also hurray for good book dads.

Fun and enjoyable romance. My first sports romance, and luckily didn’t really revolve much around hockey itself. Both MCs are interesting, flawed and likable. Cheesy ending in the best way.

So cute, AMAZING representation, EVERYTHING you’d want in a rom-com.
The only downside was how lengthy it was, a total brick to get through. If you can pace it right, you’ll adore it!

This book was so lovely to read and really highlights the difficulties that can be faced in relationships and breaking up before realising that you need that person in your life as they make you a better person and feel loved.
Stevie and Zanders’ love story is amazing, at the start I got the impression that he was an arsehole and that I was not going to enjoy reading about him as a person but the more the book developed, the more I realised that it’s all part of an act and that isn’t who he really is.
However, what I did not expect with this book is the spice, it wasn’t a lot but a heads up for those that potentially don’t like reading about it. Although, it isn’t a common theme in the book and it’s only written in a couple of chapters. It’s also a sports based romance so I did not think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, regardless of how slow the book started off. I also particularly love how Zanders rekindled his relationship with his Dad while also telling his Mom how he feels about her and their relationship, thus cutting her out of his life. At times, I also felt like I was experiencing the emotions the characters were feeling at particular points in the book, such as heartbreak or excitement.
What knocked the book down to a 4 star for me was how long it took me to get into it, that’s probably just a personal issue but I would say push through the first few chapters and you’ll seen find that you’re beginning to enjoy it! I now can’t wait to read the next book within the series.

THERE ARENT ENOUGH WORDS TO DECRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS BOOK.
This is honestly one of those book's I wish I read sooner instead of just letting it sit on my tbr.
This is honestly one of those book's I wish I read sooner instead of just letting it sit on my tbr.
but we respected each other and found common ground through our mental health struggles. He dealt with anxiety and panic attacks, and I dealt with so much bitter anger it would result in panic attacks simply because it would consume me, blinding me from reality.
I loved the plus size rep, the diversity, the open conversations about therapy & mental health something I feel isn't represented enough in romance books. The author honestly made it feel like you were long time friends with the MC's while also getting a view into their thought it was so easy to form a picture in your head of them.
You don’t have to love your body every single day. That’s unrealistic to expect, but I’ll be here loving it for the days you can’t.
I loved Stevie character development and being able to read about her growing her wings and contuning the journey of loving herself something that you were able to kinda get a peek at that its normal to not love yourself all the time there gonna be bad and good days and I loved how that was normalized.
That’s what therapy has taught me—to love myself. And I do. Unapologetically and without question, I love myself. Someone’s got to.
Don't even get me started on Zanders usually I hate when the male MC's is cocky it honestly just annoys me but I couldn't get enough of Zanders its not like the usually male MC's who fight against loving the Female MC's he realized it and tried to get with her they had their problems but he was always able to realize when he fucked up and tried to fix it. I usually don't read series because I find it hard to form a connection with the characters that aren't the main characters but it honestly made you feel apart of one big fictional familey and I haven't really ever gotten that from a book before so I will 100% be reading the rest of the series. This is one of the rare times where a book deserves the hype. The only thing I didn't like was how their isn't a book about Maddison and Logans love story I honestly would love to read it
10/10 recommend this book honestly made me re-think all of my other 5 star ratings because I've never liked a book the way I like this one
