this is my favorite sports romance series so i'm sad that it's over. i've been reading this series slowly since 2022 because i wanted to savor it but i'm so excited to read kandi steiner's hockey romance series! some of my favorite things about this series is that unlike most of the sports romances i've read, the characters are fleshed out and the couples have emotional connections as well as chemistry and tension. that remains true in this one but there were just a few things i didn't like that prevented me from giving it a higher rating. the third act breakup was unnecessary in my opinion. i understand why she would be a little upset but at the same time, he didn't do what he did with the intention to hurt mary. i agree that he shouldn't have done it but i don't think it should've caused them to breakup. despite my problems with the third act breakup, i was actually debating between giving this a 3.5 or 4 star rating but ultimately decided on 3 because the day after i finished i had already forgotten most of the details. but overall, this was so fun and leo and mary were cute.

It had been a 4 star read until the unnecessary third act conflict…… I connected with Mary so much, especially with what happened in her teenage days.

I wanted to love this but I have to admit, it was a struggle.
I love Mary, and I love Leo -- individually. Sadly, I'm not a fan of this pairing. I didn't find them a good match. Separately and individually, they were both strong characters, especially Mary. I love how she was able to stand up for herself and how she was confident in her own skin.
I don't know what it is but I didn't enjoy their romance. They had good banter and there were moments that I enjoyed reading them interact with each other. But for the most part, there was a disconnect or something lacking, in my opinion.
What made me happy was that I finally got to see a lot more interaction between the other characters as a friend group! I also enjoyed the premise of Leo and Mary being online friends before, but I did find Leo's reasoning for what went down a bit weak. I was expecting something more but what I was given was predictable.
I do hope other people would enjoy this more than I did. Sadly, it's not for me, and now I'm just in a slump. I need a different sports romance to get me over this.
