This was probably my second favourite in the series. I love a boy who can go with the flow of how much the girl is capable of giving and doesn’t push, just loves her till she’s ready to admit that she wants more. #boundaries

Tucker and Sabrina's relationship was adorable but what made this book the least enjoyable for me was how Dean acted toward her for most of the book. I probably would have rated this higher if it wasn't for that.

I'm pretty sure that in my review for The Score, which is the third novel of the series, I said that I wouldn't be reading this one. I'd heard some bad things, people saying that the female protagonist was loathsome. And as someone who sick of reading about bad female characters, I decided to avoid it. But there's going to be a spin-off series and I love the author, so I gave it a shot. And I'm very glad I did.
The two protagonist are Tucker and Sabrina. Tucker is a hockey player and one of the most laid back, not to mention genuinely, good guys you would find. Sabrina is often seen as cold-hearted, which is not the case. She's had a difficult life and she wants to make it better. That means that she has to work very hard to achieve her goals. Between her bad home life, college work, two jobs and plans for future education, she doesn't have time to play nice with everyone. There's nothing wrong with having goals and not wanting anyone or anything to get in your way. If that makes her a bitch, then I guess I'm one too.
Anyway, Sabrina and Tucker meet at a party. There's a one night stand and they plan to go their separate ways. But Tucker likes her and he wants more, a relationship. Sabrina doesn't have the time so they compromise, meeting when they can. Then Sabrina gets pregnant.
And no, that's not a spoiler. Not only is it mentioned at the end of the previous book, it's also in the official synopsis. Though I wouldn't look forward to it too much because it doesn't happen for a long time. When it does happen, thing's get even more complicated. I think it was after this point that people started to dislike Sabrina.
You see, Sabrina is quite distant with Tucker. She avoids him, refuses to commit or to talk about things. Tucker is very patient with her. This, I think, makes people think that she's not good enough for him.
The thing is though, Sabrina cares about him a lot. It's very clear from all the chapters from her perspective. She thinks he's the best kind of guy and that with the pregnancy, she's trapping him or ruining his opportunities. They're both unsure about their feelings for each other but Tucker doesn't want to push her into the conversation while Sabrina's insecurities stop her from doing anything to rock the boat. Things are still good between. It's not like they're treating each other poorly. You can see how they feel about each other.
Just... the part where they profess their undying love for each other is delayed. Nothing wrong with that, right? Actions speak louder than words, and all that.
Overall, I really liked this novel. I'll admit that the refusal to have-the-big-fucking-conversation-already was a little exhausting at times. But it was a great story, had some really fun parts with Tucker's friends, and had a good relationship between two great characters. My faith is Elle Kennedy is at an all-time high.
