📚 This was a great story and I'm enjoying the series. The characters were well developed and the obstacles made sense, and I loved what I got to see of the side characters too (made me interested in the rest of the series). I love when an MMC reads the FMC's romance novels and this hit the spot for me on that.

🎧 Dual first person POV, two narrators, both were great. They actually both do this thing where they say questions weird? But they both do it, so it was consistent, and I could just pretend that's how the characters talked.

🌶️ 4/5 This book's spice level is actually more in the middle, maybe closer to a 3, but I bumped it up because our boy can deliver the dirty talk 🙌 We love to see a not very experienced man unexpectedly deliver the heat!

🏳️‍🌈✊ I didn't catch much diversity in this book. I guess there's family structure diversity, and FMC's mom is queer (but she's pretty absent from the story). We don't get physical descriptions for MMC's teammates, so I assume at least some of them are POC because it's football, but it's never explicitly said and the names are ambiguous.
