I wasn’t gonna read it, but I had it recommended to me a bunch by others and I couldn’t stop wondering, so I decided to read it… wow, it’s really good! Heart-warming, super sweet, very dark at times, and totally face-meltingly hot!

If you like sports romances, it’s also a quarterback/mascot story with a decent amount of football action. If you don’t like sports, luckily the football isn’t *too much*.

 I would’ve liked to see more hints of them secretly liking each other when they first met to validate their enemies to lovers narrative, but it’s still fun seeing that journey for them.

There are some loose ends/unexplained parts left at the end regarding events that led to the 3rd act conflict, as well as the story with some of Avi and Ky’s friends. I’m hoping we’ll get more answers in sequels or novellas. But I can’t believe this book was 730 pages and there’s still loose ends. Bruh.

Overall it’s a great book for spice and romance fans.  If you’re a prude in any way though, run far far away from this book. It is 6/5 spicy insanity. They are step brothers too, which normally I don’t like in books, but luckily they only become step bros late in life and don’t have normal family dynamics.
