3.5 stars
I liked the vibes of the story: a new generation of agents and athletes working together.
I loved Kelley very much: I think the author did an incredible job describing his anxiety, how his brain tried to constantly trick him with spiraling thoughts, how he tried to resist, how he failed, but also, how he worked hard to overcome all those negative feelings.
I had to gave it a low rating because I couldn't really connect with Thad: his judgemental and bitter attitude prevented him from being the person Kelley needed at first. Moreover he went from resenting him to want to have sex with him in a span? of just a few days.
Between the two of them, Kelley seemed to be the more interested in hanging out and seeing each other. Unfortunately, their dynamic did not give me the impression of two people destined to be together.

I like the second part more, it was more challenging for both of them. And I really appreciate Thad's development, his commitment to his job and his maturity.

Anyway It's been very good to be back in a world when Damon King exists!
He's in his fifties now, hot smart and clever as usual; he's also a good boss and I loved to see him taking care of his clients and shaping young agents.
i adored the references to the previous books (the fake dating with Maddox, Oskar's Voyjik's sheaningans and, obviously the Talon-Miller family).
I know that this book it's not about him (nor about Brady) but it was so satisfying to see him again.

Next book will be coworkers/enemies to lovers? We'll see.

I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review
