This is one of those books that makes you love romance, that makes all the books with weak character development and shotty relationship development turn to dust! Cause baby this one has be back to pledging my life to singlehood. Be down down and down bad for me or be gone! Mari was top tier book boyfriend. This has just the right amount of drama and mess but nothing was drawn out or took to long to be addressed. The book was slower paced in that is was well developed but not in the take forever to get to the point way. I think what I enjoyed most was that it omnipresent in the dual POVs that’s is legit my favorite writing style let me know what’s going on in everyone’s heads! I can’t believe this is only my 2nd Pynn book. I really enjoyed the way some of the confrontations were handled and how they changed with Taylor’s growth. It was so well done! Normal I get a little miffed with the lack of sports in a sports romance but this has some much in the life of an athlete stuff that it took the place of that in a realistic and enjoyable way! Like the way Mari would break down the game and teacher Taylor stuff. And again I have to just say oh my god the romance I can’t remember the last time I got some much on page happy time with a couple!!!! This has quite a few nuggets of wisdom in it that I loved also. Wonderful read and a great ending to setup intrigue for book two!
