This is my least favorite in the series, but the writing is solid. I loved Aiden, but Dani isn’t my favorite heroine. The friends with benefits trope is hit or miss for me and this one sadly was a miss for me.

This is the one I was waiting for!!!

Aiden and Dani sure know how to get a relationship/ friends with benefits spicy. I went into this book not expecting much because I haven’t heard much on it, but I was blown away. Dani was a true down to earth FMC, I loved her. I felt connected to her a lot. Aiden I liked a lot, but sometimes I felt he came off like he couldn’t find himself. I think when they finally came together they understood where and what they wanted to be in the world. It for sure was not a slow burn and I enjoyed!

I want your mind, and your passion, and your emotions, and anything else you're willing to give me. I want all of you.

I am utterly speechless with a smile on my face. This was sweet and fun with insane chemistry between the characters. Oh, and of course spicy! This was my first Nikki book and the spice caught me by surprise. In the very first chapters, my jaw had already dropped because well… Aiden.

He chuckles as he puts his hands in his pockets, and the sight of him so comfortable, so happy, immediately knocks any other guy out of my brain. There's only this one in front of me.

Aiden was the definition of a walking green flag. The type of man you wished to meet in real life. He was self-assured but not arrogant, funny, caring, and supportive. He was so gorgeous that had me melting on the floor. And as if he wasn’t perfect enough, imagine my surprise to find out his dominant and very dirty-talking side. He was the ideal specimen of a golden-retriever boyfriend and I adored him.

Dani on the other side was what could be described as “that b*tch*”. She reminded me how much I love a strong fmc. She was confidence in a human form. She wasn’t ashamed of her sexuality, her beliefs, or her dreams. Of course, during her self-discovery journey, Dani had already toughened up a bit too much and had sworn off love not that I blame her. And although it was slightly annoying witnessing her self-sabotaging tendencies during her “relationship” with Aiden, I cannot deny that I had shared or am still sharing some of her ideas.

If you like the friends-with-benefits trope this book is so good. Lust-filled and cheesy where it mattered, emotional, and insanely hot, sports romance can’t get any better.

Did I like it? Yes.
Would I reread it? Yes.

4 /5⭐
3.5/5

Literally JUST finished the book right this minute and it was so freaking good! I’ve been super excited to read about Dani since she was introduced at the end of 2 Fights, and the friends with benefits to lovers romance for her and Aiden was *chef’s kiss* perfect!

Variety may be the spice of life, but Nikki said “hold my beer” to that and made the variety of spice the spice of life in this book and I am here

Full of SPICE from the very first second. Strangers with benefits to friends with benefits to will they won't they admit they have feelings for each other. 
fast-paced

SPICY. SPICY. SPICY .

the spice starts in chapter 2 + chapter 8 is a serious
WOW! Aiden may be young (22) but man he has some EXPERIENCE + can dirty talk with the best
of them !

Dani is so unapologetically herself from the very first page which makes it hard not to fall in love with her. Even with her own issues that she's working through she keeps her fire burning hot !

The inevitable conflict + blowup was to be expected
BUT the way it all went down was absolutely perfect for the story. This is my first Nikki Castle book which is crazy to me because she has been on my TBR for a little while !

I can't wait to start backlisting her + to see what else she has in store !
