their personalities are a perfect match, making the chemistry and banter between them top tier!! my favorite aspect of this book lies in how realistic and healthy the struggles + conversations regarding body insecurities and mental health are The shelter and the doggies!! oml if you know me I’m a big dog girl (I have three). I love animals so so much so that’s something I and the f.m.c shared in common.

you just took a bite of one of those little cucumber sandwiches, looked her square in the eye, and said, ‘this is my dad.’ It was the first time you had ever called me that, and after the tea party I cried in your school’s bathroom for a solid thirty minutes.”[…]

I had the biggest smile plastered on my face the moment that the other couples appeared from the previous books. I ate up the moments that we got more of Ryan and Indy. I loved the moments with Rio and his humor. We do meet some new side chatacters. Monty, who is Miller's dad, I loved this man, and he deserves the world and his own happy ending in a book. We also met Isiah, who is Kai's younger brother and Kennedy, one of the teams trainers. I didn't care much for Isaiah with how he treats her. He sexually harasses her, and it's portrayed as being okay and is most definitely not. Then there is Max, who is the cutest little boy, and I adored every minute we got with him. He was a little show stealer that also stole my heart. The found family that is portrayed with not just Kai, Max and Miller but with all the previous couples, the new characters, and the entirety of the baseball team was so beautiful and I was living for it!

If you are a fan of romance books in which the book shows the main characters as they are already in a relationship (because they had some type of relationship in about 40% of the book) read this. I’m personally a fan of slow burn romances because I think it’s just more realistic and I love the tension building throughout the book, so maybe that’s why I couldn’t give it 4 or 5 starts. My favourite authors who both write inter-connecting athlete romances are Sawyer Bennett and Samantha Whiskey)

And who is this?” Kai’s eyes linger on the woman at my side… in a you’re one of the most beautiful women I’ve had the pleasure to lay eyes on way. i’m not gonna give this book a five star despite all my rambling about how much i loved it, and the answer is pretty simple; I don’t think it deserves a five star i’m trying to be a little more critical, and not give five stars out like candy on halloween. i can’t give you an exact reason to why this wasn’t a five star for me, other than i don’t feel like it deserves a five star. it was very predictable, and the writing was very normal and not anything special. i’d say read this book if you liked the first two in the series, if not then don’t <3 As someone who loves long books, I can honestly say, this book had no reason to be as long as it was. There was no character development with Miller and it was just the same thing every chapter of her pushing him away and reminding him she’s leaving and won’t consider staying. You’re not an idiot. You’re not crazy for wanting to be wanted. For wanting to be loved.” A deep swallow bobs in her throat. “And you’re not an option, Stevie, because besides you, there’s no other choice.” Overall View I’ll be reading book 2 (but not for a whiiile), since I liked the characters that were introduced and people seem to love it more, but I’m keeping my expectations neutral.
