It was a really sweet book with the right amount of spice, which was hot as hell! But I loved the relationship between the two main characters, def's couple goals right there. The problems were realistic, though easily and conveniently solved. But overall an entertainment and quick read!!

A fairly short, lighthearted, predictable romance. The writing isn't great and the characters are bland. There's not a lot of plot or chemistry. Medium spice.

This was a deeper new adult romance than I'm used to. There was more backstory to the main characters and they had more baggage than many new adult romances, which I liked. It tackled a lot of mental health and abusive ex-partner issues.
However, James wasn't completely likable and had anger issues. As well as a kind of obsessive attachment thing going on with his partners, where it was ALL about them and nothing else in his life. Making even the main relationship not completely healthy.
The male narrator wasn't great the female narrator was good. She did a great job with different tones for different characters.
Overall it was a good book with a lot of emotional depth. I do plan to continue the series.

I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick read (less than a day to finish on my Kindle!) Has the touch her and I’ll kill you vibes. Coming off of reading Icebreaker, I wanted another easy college sports romance and this did not disappoint!

I did not like the resolve, as it felt a bit rushed. But despite that, I enjoyed the characters and world that was built - so I look forward to reading the other 2 books in the Beyond the Play series by her!
