Wow. Just… wow. This was by far the most powerful, heartbreaking and well written book I’ve read in ages. 

I jumped into this book completely blind, it looked like a sports romance but I was pleasantly surprised by the gut wrenching story I was in for instead. Kennedy Ryan is a new author to me but I cannot wait to read the rest of this series and the other books I have by her already on my physical tbr. 

Iris is the strongest FMC I’ve ever read, and her story was so horrifically yet so beautifully written. 

PLEASE read TW before reading! (I don’t have any TW which is why I don’t do this) Without reading the blurb, this book looks like any normal sports romance by its cover, but it is not. This books main focus is domestic violence and has extremely triggering instances throughout the entirety of the book consisting of heavily detailed SA and physical abuse by the FMC’s husband (not the MMC). 

That being said, I loved this book and am so grateful for Kennedy for writing this story. It needed to be told. 🖤
