The Right Move by Liz Tomforde
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Dual POV • Sports romance (basketball) • Fake dating • Forced proximity • Best friend’s brother • Found family • Cheating (not the MCs) • Fertility rep • Deaf & sign language rep • 499 pages
Although part of the "Windy City" series, this one can be read as a standalone. Just note—Ryan Shay (our MMC and elite basketball player) is Stevie’s brother. If you’ve read "Mile High", you’ll remember Indy (our FMC here) as a secondary character. Worth starting there if you want the full vibe!
Ryan Shay. OMG. Normally, I go for morally gray/feral MMCs, but Ryan? He is the walking green flag. The perfect mix of sweet, supportive, patient, and sexy. Honestly, Indy calls him the perfect book boyfriend—and I have to agree.
Indy herself was a joy to dive into. She’s funny, kind, a total carer (sometimes to a fault), and exactly the type of friend everyone deserves. Her background adds beautiful depth to her character, making her and Ryan feel real in every sense.
Both leads are flawed, layered, and full of heart. Add in emotional subplots with old friends, family dynamics, and sign language rep—and this romance hit harder than I expected.
As with the first book, it’s a little longer than it needed to be, but the balance of heartfelt romance and spice was perfect. It’s not fade-to-black; the intimacy is both emotional and physical, and woven beautifully into the story.
The ending wraps it up with a pretty bow (HEA, check ), while setting us up for the next installment—Baseball romance incoming! Can’t wait to see where the series goes next.

I don’t even know where to begin…..
I sacrificed sleep two nights in a row to read about Indy & Ryan.
Ryan is now my ultimate book bf. I fear nobody can top him

A reread! Ryan Shay remains my favorite Windy City male lead 💗 I love him and his quiet love so much huhu another fake dating trope that I ate up (i love dat shit). Its a very light and easy read, I barely noticed the pages fly by. Tho, the reread made me realize I kinda dont like the last conflict towards the end pero it all worked out. Anyways! love this book very chill and happy2
