This was a little bit hard to rate because I felt like it should have ended at the 80% mark. The final conflict made sense because it was something the main characters needed to discuss but it felt dragged out. 

I also think that the author needs to trust her readers more. You don’t need to explain your metaphor. We get it. You also don’t need to tell us multiple times that Ryan gets fouled a lot without it being called because of his size and lack of championships. We can remember that information and it makes the writing redundant.

I did really enjoy a lot of this book which makes rating it so hard! It has tropes that I love. I really like the two main characters even if Indy did annoy me a bit at the end. The spice was really good and tense towards the beginning but even that was a little boring by the end. Basically, if it had been about 20% shorted it would have probably been 4.5 stars but it was dragged out to the point that my overall enjoyment was severely lessened.
