This book was so good. Now, it is my least favorite out of the series (I mean Ryan Shay and Kai Rhodes) but is it so freaking good. Ok first off, Stevie Shay is just perfection. I am here for the curvy, plus size representation. She is just an absolute queen and I can't be told otherwise. I would have liked a bit more conflict from her side of the story but that didn't stop me from loving her. Now, Zee *daddy* Zanders. I love him. Such a good character, has good banter, loves his nieces soooo much (melted my heart every single time he talked about them), has such a dirty mouth (and delivers). I think that he went through a lot throughout the book and his development was clear. He made some mistakes that annoyed me but not enough for me to dislike him. Stevie and Zee's relationship is beautiful. He uplifts her so well and she is able to be there for him when he needs to calm down, she reassures him and lowers his anxiety. I love their relationship. I would definitely read this book again with no problems.

Un libro con momentos muy tiernos y entretenido. Por desgracia no tenía tanto interés en esta pareja tanto como en The Right Move, que leí primero.

I absolutely loved this book and completely fell in love with the characters. I loved the length of the story (because I’m greedy and always want more from stories!).

Top three reasons why I didn't like this book:

This could have been 150 pages shorter.
Insecurity is different from self-criticism without reason. Stevie is a perfect example of the latter. It took me almost five months to finish this simple romance book due to Stevie's persistent "woe is me" attitude, which I found annoying. Note to Stevie: the world does not revolve around you.
Bad writing. Liz Tomforde consistently stated the obvious. For example,
when Stevie's dad was explaining that her maternal grandmother was harsh to Stevie's mom, leading to Stevie's mom's similar behavior towards Stevie. He was discussing the difficulties for Stevie's mom and hinting at generational trauma. However, in the next paragraph, Stevie's dad explicitly labels it as generational trauma.
Such repetition was not a one-time thing and it became frustrating. It seemed as if Tomforde underestimated the readers' ability to understand the narrative without explicit explanations. An author should trust their eloquence to convey the message to the audience. This led me to speculate that Tomforde lacked confidence in her explanatory skills, hence the need to state the obvious.

Bonus: “Pop/s a shoulder” or “shoulders pop/popping” was mentioned 15 times. Why can't you come up with a more fitting adjective to describe something like that?

“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.”

This book is packed with people who just simply need therapy - although Zanders is currently in one, not sure why his fear of his fan not liking the real him was not tackled.

Additional minus points for still having spicy scenes at the last chapter? Like hello? I love spicy scenes but not to the point that it would resurface at the end where I’m supposedly going to be sentimental. It’s more than 500 pages that could have been trimmed down since there were unnecessary scenes that should have not been there. The ending itself was a little too long for my liking. The redemption for me is the dog rescue shelter because who doesn’t love dogs?
