This entire book is about dealing with the grief of losing close family members (parents, siblings, etc.) from tragic circumstances. Please be gentle and kind with yourselves when rearing.

 Sports romance, you have never failed me!
I have seen so much about this book, a pole dancing FL who is the daughter of the coach and a ML quarterback who can't take his eyes off her? Yes please! Kandi Steiner has written a steamy and surprisingly sweet romance with SO MUCH SPICE, and characters who have really gone through the grief wringer. Holden is the star quarterback, and the new football coach and him don't exactly see eye to eye. The coach's sports medicine daughter has been declared strictly off limits, but that doesn't stop him from looking. Did I mention they end up living across from each other? And in her living room she has installed a pole and NO CURTAINS!! (You can bet he watches!) An almost career ending injury sees the two paired together for physical therapy, and forbidden romance soon blossoms. I loved the dual POV, it was great to see Holden pining for Julep, and see how much he already cared about her.
Favorite Moments: the pool, Julep giving him a show, Holden's Uncles
Hail Mary is still my favorite in the series, but this was well enjoyed too!

ENG
This book felt like falling down the hill. It started pretty high, then went downhill and was absolutely smashed by the third-act breakup.
