Genuinely enjoyed this as a lighthearted read (even if got slightly more x rated than I was expecting). Would call it a perfect holiday read.
I would say, these are such *perfect* characters with their loveable qualities and ability to process emotions with therapy - it bordered on unrealistic and slightly took away from getting into the story.

This is just an incredibly fun, enjoyable and super easy read overall. The plot didn’t turn out as I had expected but I didn’t quite enjoy the last twist at the end. I’d still recommend.

Okay so I really enjoyed this, and the spice was perfect, but I didn’t quite love it. 

I will give full credit for the eating disorder rep, and anxiety rep. The story definitely juggled a lot of elements and I appreciate that Nate didn’t miraculously become a figure skater, as that was a huge reason I didn’t want to read this. So yay for realistic plot points. 

All in all a very fun, don’t think too hard spicy book, I would say spicy level on this is 4. (Multiple spicy scenes, and some kinks)

Even if you're not a sports romance reader, this book has a little bit of everything for every kind if reader. The ending is kind of corny, but I expected nothing less from a fluff book like this.

I love Anastasia and Nate they are so cute and a perfect match!! I loved how they helped eachother grow and that Anastasia finally noticed what a piece of shit Aaron is (sorry for my rudeness but Aaron deserves it!). The Ending was perfect I am so happy for them and that they achieved their dreams but now I wanna see them with their little girl o̴̶̷̥᷅﹏o̴̶̷̥᷅ Still it was so cute♡♡♡
