this was cute but couldn't pull me in quite like the others. i loved the representation for women working in sports but the way the storyline with her new job was handled infuriated me 🙃 it was soo similar to what happened w kai & miller and i got there but i def didn't get it here. grateful they still got their hea 🫶🏻

“I don’t know why. I don’t know when it changed. But you always tell me to do what feels good, and I’ve never felt better than when I’m with you.”

I was skeptical going into this one because the Isaiah/ Kennedy side plot in the previous book was so icky. It was giving sexual harrassment at work.

But then it turned out to be a really fun read, mostly because
Isaiah is just so sweet, considerate and supportive of Kennedy once they're together. Doesn't make his prior advances appropriate but it's kind of hard to stay mad?!

Liz Tomforde is definitely one of my top five favorite authors. She writes complex, loveable characters with plenty of real-life issues and they actually deal with them in healthy ways and build secure relationships. I thought this was the saddest of all of the Windy City books so far, possibly with the issues that Kennedy and Isaiah were dealing with hitting closer to home than I’m used to. I love Isaiah’s sweetness and they way they both encourage the other to be their whole selves in their relationship and work together to create a safe and loving place within each other to call home. The spice (as always) is *chef’s kiss* with easy banter and good tension. I wish there were a thousand more books like this (although I’d probably never get anything income if that were the case).
