A good old Slow burn romance is my favorite trope, so I was so excited to pick this up, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely adored Vanessa and Aiden’s relationship. Trauma is heavily mentioned in the novel, so be sure to check trigger warnings before reading!!

This is a grumpy/sunshine, fake marriage, slow burn, sports romance novel. Both of the main characters have childhood trauma and trust issues to work through. I really enjoyed the transformation of Aiden, as he opened up and became more comfortable with Vanessa.

I'm starting to understand that you can always make time for the things that matter.

ykno it was fun and fresh. vanessas family stuff was sad
wish there was some sort of resolution to vanessa's trauma
aiden was a little autism-spec coded, i doubt that was intentional but it could've been interesting if it was

Couldn’t get into this one. Kept waiting for things to happen. Parts were really good, but not enough of them.
