This was a fast read and very sweet. I always love a sports romance and it reminded me a lot of Playing Offside by Jax Calder. It was a typical veteran and rookie, enemies to lovers dynamic. Of course the veteran (Gavin) was the grump and the rookie (Ollie) was a total cinnamon roll and ball of sunshine.
I liked the fact that even though Ollie was the epitome of a sunshine character, he was dealing with some mental health issues that required treatment. This was my first Bergman Brothers book so it was also really sweet to see what an important and supportive role his family plays in his life.
I would have loved to learn more about Gavin. He had such a wall of armor up, I knew he had to have had a traumatic past. Unfortunately we only saw a snippet of his past / trauma toward the end. And I was aching to know what his life was like in London because it seemed to really affect him in present day. I also found his obsessive thoughts about “being the old man who will bring Ollie down at the peak of his career” very repetitive. I think after the 2nd or 3rd time Gavin expressed these thoughts, the book could have progressed.
The characters in this book were amazing. A female head coach? Who cheered?! There was also an incredible amount of diversity and representation within Ollie’s family and the way he normalized it was so heartwarming. The author did a great job introducing Ziggy to readers and I’m definitely going to read “It’s Only You” when it’s released.
