This is a great intro book to sports romance. Catherine is a strong FMC who is career-driven and independent. She is proud that she doesn't need a man to make her feel complete. Relationships are not on her mind because she knows exactly what she wants and knows her goals. She doesn't want any distractions. She's the president of PR of her company and strives to be the best.
Tijjani is such a sweet golden retriever MMC. He's a hockey player who is looking for a new agent when is sister recommends her best friend. He's the oldest child who feels the pressure from his parents to get an education and settle down. He's always had a bit of a crush on his sister's best friend, Catherine, so when the opportunity opens up he jumps at it.
When Catherine needs a date for her sister's wedding, she drops a hint to Tijjani while discussing his new agent contract. Tijjani comes up with a plan to help her quiet her parents desire of her getting married too. He does everything as he can to make this perfect for Catherine and wants to spend as much time as possible to get to know her better and if Catherine develops feelings for him even better.
Tijjani swoons her over and over again. He listens to even her smallest interests and fulfills them. How can you not love that? The chemistry between them is insane and no matter how much Catherine resists Tijjani makes it harder and harder for her to resist.
The whole story is really cute and sweet. The characters are likeable and even relatable if you're the oldest. The book is spicy and adventurous. I also love how Tijjani never gave up all while giving Catherine the space and time that she needed. Another plus was that I loved how Temple added native language into her story. It adds a little something special to the story.
