I devoured this book. I loved how the characters relationship evolved. It was, in my opinion, perfectly balanced between spicy scenes and regular scenes. It’s not just vanilla either, and I felt like it felt natural. I wish we got a little more of a wrap up of the outside of their relationship stuff, but I get that this book wasn’t really about that. 

One thing that did annoy me a little was how the FMC kind of expected him to take all the blame for their issues as a couple, which he definitely did worse stuff, but she still had a hand in it. She’s mad that he didn’t communicate, but then again, neither did she. 

But overall, I loved this book. I highly recommend it if you want to try sports romance but like spicier book. Actually I just recommend this book.
