Despite the copious amount of grammatical errors in this book, I completely fell in love with Carter and Olivia. This was a great palate cleanser for me, while still having the right amount of emotional depth and complexity that makes it more than just a fluff read. I wasn’t a huge fan of the miscommunication trope that happens later on in the book, but thankfully that was pretty short-lived.

I really enjoyed this book and loved how Carter went from a huge womaniser to a loveable idiot. I did find Olivia good for him, but also found it somewhat annoying that she continuously picked fights because of his past. I adored Hank and thought he was a great additional character to the story. There was some spice which was a great addition to the story. I did just think the story didn’t need to be as long as it did and found the love bombing to become overly used and started to become annoying with the constant repetition. I don’t think I would read the rest of the series as I found it a very long book that could have been condensed.

“I know you think your tears are a weakness, Ollie, but they show me how huge your heart is.”

This books is cheesy asf but that’s romance for you! Carter is the hot-shot pro hockey player and playboy and Olivia is the sweet but fiery school teacher who doesn’t do hookups.

“I want to feel like I mean something to a man, not like he’s made it a challenge to get in my pants because I’m the first woman who didn’t fall at his feet.“

There were so many cute parts to this book that made me SWOON. The way Carter takes care of Olivia is *chef’s kiss*. I love that he senses her insecurities and he ACTIVELY tries to prevent triggers for her (minus the first one).

“I’m not sure my reaction is the best. I throw my hands in the air and scream, accidentally shoving her off my lap and to the ground when I rocket to my feet and yell out, “I have a girlfriend!”

There were some parts I didn’t like 😬 at times Carter was very pushy and didn’t respect Olivia’s boundaries - that’s a no for me.

The conflict in the end seemed rushed but I like how it was resolved and I love the growth of both characters.

My biggest criticism: it was waaaay too dang long! There is no need to have 20 smut scenes that are all exactly alike.

Overall I rated it a 3.5 ⭐️ but I am exited to read Garett’s story in “Play with me”

CW: alcohol, parting, cursing, sexual content, death of a parent

i don’t think reformed playboy is for me but i did enjoy this but the back and forth with olivia’s trust issues and third act break up really had me trudging through to finish
