This was a steamy slow-burn romance that took me a little time to get into, but once I got a few chapters in, I could not put it down.
The spice level is definitely strong, but it’s woven into the story in a way that enhances the relationship rather than feeling added just for effect.
I really appreciated how the book portrayed competition in a realistic, well-rounded way, focusing on the pressure, discipline, and emotional stakes rather than just winning. It added depth and made the story feel more grounded and engaging.
I also liked how the sport itself was integrated—it gave enough context to understand what was happening without overloading the reader with too much detail.
