Kind of.I read this because of how funny an ad for it was on TikTok. Honestly A+ marketing because the book was better than the ad made it out to be. Kind of. But the ad caught my attention and that was the important part.
It still was omegaverse though which is always a bit too weird for me. And basically just smut. But at least it’s smut with story.
Also it was easy to figure out where April is and the answer to their drug problem. Like half way through the book even though the next one isn’t out yet.
I probably won’t pick up the next one even though this is basically half a book. ...more
I do like that Miles is not making it to the NFL. He’s not the “best” just playing football and tries hard. Let’s start with things I actually liked:
I do like that Miles is not making it to the NFL. He’s not the “best” just playing football and tries hard.
I like the body representation even if it seemed a little heavy handed.
Now some things I wasn’t the biggest fan of:
Miles is at war with himself in a boring way. One chapter is I’m enough and the next is I don’t belong anywhere. The inner monologuing was repetitive and a bit painful.
I also hate how aggressively horny he is for her during their first hang out. it is very off putting.
Another thing: as a former university athlete and a girly girl I resent female athletes who say things like: “Neither of us are frilly, frou-frou type girls.” She says there’s nothing wrong with not being that kind of girl but I didn’t hear that she thought it was okay to be that either. I like that her sorority sister called her out on it. But she was so mean to girls and then she wants time with her”girls” even though it feels like she should have none or never had any?
My ick:
That she thought his dad was hot before him and she talking about age gap erotica. ewwwww. ...more
I loved this one. Usually these books are a solid 3.5/4 stars but this one was 5. I “She looks feral,” Wyatt remarks. “You guys raised a feral child.”
I loved this one. Usually these books are a solid 3.5/4 stars but this one was 5. I loved the characters way more than I expected I would and the story felt FRESH.
Plus I loved the women’s hockey representation. It felt correct to read it right now with the women’s hockey league finally happening! Ps. Watch women’s hockey. As Ryder thinks in the book, “Without the roughness and the players getting bashed into the boards, the game itself stands out.” Totally true.
Also the whole bit with the teammate watching porn is so reminiscent of Joey and Monica and Chandler in friends. The PowerPoint?? Perfect.
And as always, we love romance with consent kings.
