I know this is “inspired” by Ted Lasso, but this is just Roy Kent fan fiction.
I am very sad that I didn’t enjoy this more. Since I have really liked the rest of the series. There is only one more left. We shall see.
I mean what a banger!!!! I missed Mrs Chloe Liese's sports romances and I'm so glad we're here and thriving.
This book was absolutely everything my hopeless romantic heart could ask for and I,,, will just always fall for the gays. It's tough out here. But I loved these idiots and appreciated this book so much.
Oliver is honestly a kick. Ha pun unintended but lowkey genius, just so boost my own ego. I'm feeling the sass today. Anyways, I loved him. He truly was the embodiment on sunshine and Gavin was grumpy x1000. Round of applause to Chloe. Oliver just bringing out the dance moves just cracked me up and I loved it.
As always, her writing is wonderful. I especially loved the anxiety representation, which could not have been done more perfectly and hit me right in the chest. It was EXCELLENT and deserves a round of applause.
I saw some reviews saying they didn't like the sports aspect of this, or rather that it seemed unrealistic? I wouldn't personally know but I did appreciate the discussions on pain and retirement in the sports industry, which was really refreshing.
This was just such a lovely reading experience. I rooted for Ollie and Gavin and loved when they finally came together UGH HEARTWARMING. This book had one kinkier than usual scene and I was quite literally yelling in shock. I will say the only part holding back from a full five star was that I wanted more character development, but other than that, this was an excellent addition to one of my favourite series THAT YOU ALL NEED TO READ

Wow. So I had high hopes going into this book because I’ve loved every book in this series, and not only did this one not disappoint, it over delivered by a mile. Sorry Ren, I 100% have a new favorite Bergman brother. Ollie is like a mischievous golden retriever. He’s adorable, sweet, and lovey, but when your back is turned, watch out, he gets into all sorts of pranks and trouble. The dynamic between Ollie and Gavin is my favorite of book setups. Enemies (who really secretly love each other) to lovers with a whole lot of grumpy sunshine thrown in. The snark, banter, side eye, and long suffering sighs are the best. Gavin is Roy Kent, but dare I say better? Did I mention there’s a 3 year old who also totally steals the show? Ted Lasso + romance + snark + big family energy + a meddling coach= the book I absolutely didn’t know that I needed, and left me so happy when I was finished.
The other thing I love so much about Chole’s books is how real her characters feel. I love seeing representation for mental and physical illness, chronic pain, family struggles etc in books, but sometimes it’s almost like a caricature, so over the top that it’s not relatable. It goes hand in hand with Viggo’s point (as the romance book lover in the family) that the more romance you read, the more you see the different facets of yourself reflected back. Gavin’s chronic pain and Ollie’s anxiety were absolutely something you could see yourself or a friend or family member dealing with. (as someone with herniated disks and back problems, Gavin’s struggles were spot on)
I will 100% be listening to this on audio in May. If you haven’t read any of the Bergman books (I mean what are you waiting for, you definitely should- the audios are all on Hoopla as well) don’t let that stop you. This book is really that good. Sure, the family dynamic bits won’t be as exciting to you without the full backstory, but the book stands alone without needing that. It’s really just icing on the funfetti cake.
