Well, Carter Beckett might have made his way into my Top 5 Book Boys Of All Time. A hockey man who is gentle when he needs to be and…not gentle when he needs to be? Love.

I really enjoyed this book, although I could’ve done without the constant reminders about Olivia’s size, the “scandal” towards the end, and the fact that he proposed at Cara’s wedding (even though he had approval…and it was definitely Cara’s idea to begin with, I just know it).

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.

🏒 Miscommunication
🏒 Playboy turned cinnamon roll!
🏒 Ice Hockey captain / PE teacher
🏒 Banter 👌🏻
🏒 Found family
🏒 Possessive MMC
🏒 Spice 🥵
🏒 Nicknames!
🏒 Well established secondary characters, setting up future books; Cara, Emmett & Adam 😍
🏒 MC growth; development of healthy communication, issues with self worth & trust.
🏒 Consent & Sex Positive
🏒 Epilogue
🏒 One of my all time favourite book boyfriends 🙌🏻
🏒 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.

Wow, Tik Tok got it right with this one! I really really enjoyed reading this book. I absolutely adore Carter, he’s just a big golden retriever MMC who is obsessed with the FMC. I liked Olivia as well she works hard to overcome her anxiety and insecurities and really learn to trust and communicate with Carter. I appreciated that we really got to see growth from both Olivia and Carter through their journey as a couple. I will say this book did not need to be this long, with some editing an equally strong story could have been portrayed. That being said I Ioved this book, it was smutty and had a lot of heart! I definitely recommend reading Consider Me!

This book was several hundred pages too long. Had the author kept it a few hundred pages shorter, it might have even made it to the 4 star range but the length of the books means it includes chapter after chapter of absolutely nothing happening and stretching out what should have been a quickly resolved conflict to weeks of heartbreak over nothing. By the time the couple is back from the third act breakup, I just wanted to throw it away. 

One of the reasons the length doesn’t work is that the author doesn’t find new things to share with you about these characters. They make the same mistakes over and over and she tells us seven millions time that Olivia is short, and Carter loves Oreos. It’s so repetitive that even the intimacy between the characters isn’t worth reading in detail, everything is skimmable basically after New Year’s.

There are more books coming in this series, I genuinely hope they’re shorter because I really want to know what happens for at least two of the other guys.
