I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. The setup (and the resulting spicy scenes) seemed so unrealistic, especially for characters in their early 20s 

And yet… I really enjoyed the characters and the backdrop of competitive swimming. I also liked that the focus wasn’t solely on smut. The romance was well developed and mixed well with the rest of the plot 

The book was a touch longer than it needed to be but ultimately I really enjoyed it and was glad I picked it up (Ali Hazelwood’s books are really hit or miss for me)
