“I know you think your tears are a weakness, Ollie, but they show me how huge your heart is.”

This books is cheesy asf but that’s romance for you! Carter is the hot-shot pro hockey player and playboy and Olivia is the sweet but fiery school teacher who doesn’t do hookups. 

“I want to feel like I mean something to a man, not like he’s made it a challenge to get in my pants because I’m the first woman who didn’t fall at his feet.“

There were so many cute parts to this book that made me SWOON. The way Carter takes care of Olivia is *chef’s kiss*. I love that he senses her insecurities and he ACTIVELY tries to prevent triggers for her (minus the first one). 

“I’m not sure my reaction is the best. I throw my hands in the air and scream, accidentally shoving her off my lap and to the ground when I rocket to my feet and yell out, “I have a girlfriend!”

There were some parts I didn’t like 😬 at times Carter was very pushy and didn’t respect Olivia’s  boundaries - that’s a no for me. 

The conflict in the end seemed rushed but I like how it was resolved and I love the growth of both characters. 

My biggest criticism: it was waaaay too dang long! There is no need to have 20 smut scenes that are all exactly alike. 

Overall I rated it a 3.5 ⭐️ but I am exited to read Garett’s story in “Play with me”
