I don't know what else I could have asked for in a romance. Ilya and Shane were incredibly well-developed characters, their relationship progression was well-paced, and it has one of my favorite tropes of all-time: rivals-to-lovers. Ilya and Shane are just amazing together.
I definitely recommend this book if you're looking for a sports and/or gay romance. It's probably the best I've read. You don't need to read the first took in the series at all to enjoy this, but be warned: it does contain light spoilers for Game Changer.
Additionally, the bonus story My Dinner with Hayden is so cute! I love this little glimpse we get into their life after they get together. Ilya's snark for Hayden remains unmatched. I hope they will get closer in the future.
