5.0

(I received an ARC for this book)

Trigger Warnings include:
possible drugging, attempted sexual assault

After playing the best season of his career, Hudson still feels like something is missing. But then Caroline walks into his life. She takes him by storm. A tornado through his mind and heart. She has him questioning everything in his life. It broke my heart the way he hated his reputation. His heart is just as beautiful as his mouth is dirty. And I wasn’t prepared for either! I gotta give them both credit, they do a pretty good job riding the friendship line. Until they just can’t anymore. But because of that friendship they build? They find trust and acceptance. Which gives them each a comfortable space to share their secrets, doubts, and worries. Hudson and Caroline were free, enjoying each other’s company. It’s easy, carefree. What goes on behind closed doors is a serious bonus! Being with Caroline threatens everything Hudson has, but when he realizes he was more concerned over losing her than whatever consequences he would face being with her? My heart nearly short circuited! And shoutout BFF Tatum for helping Caroline sort through her feelings! I was getting worried, because I ADORED Caroline and didn’t want to see her make the wrong decision because she was confused!
