After a bit of a chase, Olivia gives in to Carter, risking her entire heart.

There are a lot of mixed reviews for this book. I absolutely loved this book. Carter Beckett is literally a dream, he’s captain of the hockey team and romantic and cocky AF. He knows he’s good and lets everyone else know as well. His outside persona is a hard manwhore, but on the inside, he’s absolutely adorable. I loved how corny this book was, his silly little comments, his obsession with food, and the obsession he has with Olivia. 

This book could have been 100 pages shorter if the size of Olivia hadn’t been addressed so many times. We get it, she’s short(5’1”) and he’s big. Did we really need to address it 50 times? There was a lot of repeated information that wasn’t necessary as well, like how Olivia smells like Banana Bread, and Carter smells like lime and musky cedarwood. 

My overall rating of Consider Me is 5/5 - without a doubt, I loved this book. Carter is my ultimate book boyfriend. The side characters were an added bonus, I love the dynamic of the team and family members, Hank is probably my favorite, and he’s such an asset to the storyline. 

I give this book a 5/5 for spice, the spicy scenes made me wish I was Olivia, being thrown up against walls, pulled by my ankles, & OH EM GEE, the tie as a blindfold scene! YES PLEASE! 

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who likes sports romance, hockey, dual POV, and HEA. I laughed so much through this book, and if you tell anyone I’ll deny it, but I also teared up several times. 

This is definitely in my Top 10 for 2023!
