Oh Danica Brown, what ever are we going to do with her? Literal cinnamon roll Zafir drops into her lap and she can't see the forest for the trees because past relationship trauma has her head so twisted around that she can't get out of her own way and allow him to love her! The mental health rep of Zaf dealing with his anxiety, grief, and panic/anxiety attacks and creating Tackle It to help young men overcome the social stigma of "having emotions"--be still my heart! Rugby thighs and a heart of gold??
Dani's growth through her relationship with Zaf, him always meeting her where she is at that time, never expecting more from her than she can give him, and her big romantic gesture moment to win him back was so sweet. I also loved her 1 year anniversary gift to him, secretly getting his romance novels signed by the authors was such a delight!!


I loved seeing peeks at Chloe and Red's ongoing happiness and getting a few glimpses at Eve before we get to her book next. I almost wish there had been a bit more Gigi, since she's always a wild ride for advice, but I have a feeling we'll get a bit more of her in Eve's book, since I think she still lives at home with Gigi.
