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.

Her wide eyes lock on mine, cheeks blazing, hand hanging there in midair, holding on to a…A goddamn Oreo. Woman’s my f**king soul mate.

She’s like waking up on Christmas morning when you’re three years old and you finally understand what it’s all about.

I want to be better, not only for her, but for myself too.

🏒 Comfort read (read 4 times this year); I skip the 🚩 sections…
🏒 Book 2 & 3 are 4 & 5 ⭐️ reads

🏒 Partial spoiler
Chapters 34-46 read like the HEA epilogue & needed to be shortened/moved in order to make the reconciliation post miscommunication trope believable. I enjoyed reading about the MCs’ life together but these chapters didn’t move the story forward, they made the MMC not communicating in later chapters not believable as the relationship was so solid.

🚩 FMC is a teacher & is sexually harassed or propositioned by male students on multiple occasions. This is dealt with using basic behaviour management when it should go straight to the principal & be dealt with seriously not laughed off. The FMC’s best friend jokes that “all those senior boys wanna get between her luscious thighs”, joking about adult/minor relationships & the sexual harassment her friend is dealing with at work. This needed to be better thought out as the joking encouraged this behaviour.

Available on Kindle Unlimited.

⚠️ Death of a parent (not on page), violence (ice hockey related), pregnancy, car accident (not on page), infidelity (not MC), sexism (via secondary characters), sexual harassment (students towards a teacher.
