I really enjoyed this book and read it within a few days. I enjoyed the spicy scenes and there were a few times were I was kicking my feet or smiling at scenes with either funny banter or heartwarming scenes. I also really enjoyed the different representation in this book, for curvy women, men in therapy and mental health, body confidence, loving yourself and letting others love you. There were very few spots that felt like they dragged a bit in terms of pacing.

I absolutely loved this book. The dynamic and the story line (🤌🏻chef's kisses). Liz Tomforde is now on my auto-buy author list (even if it was just after one book). At one point I was really scared to pick up this book because Consider Me was a huge disappointment and this one gave a similar vibe. Now I have so many regrets about letting it sit on my shelves and collecting dust for months. This is a very long book, but I think the length is necessary to let Stevie and Zanders work out their fears, emotional traumas and internal demons. My favorite part was where Stevie made it clear about paparazzi and new reporters' words not only hurt her but many others who also suffered harsh judgements and comments on their curby or less than ideal bodies (here I am talking about VS model bodies with BMI less than 18). Whatever she received was no longer just about her but many other girls who felt less worthy because body shaming. Besides their struggles, I think the side characters were also crucial to the success of this story. I love seeing the Maddisons, other Raptor teammates especially Rio, doggies, Ryan and Indy on pages.

Loved this emotional sports romance! The banter was totally on point, but the real talk and emotional relationship building was everything. I loved how Stevie learned to stand up for herself. I loved Zee’s mental health journey and how much he supported Stevie through hers. I loved the found family vibes. The spice was nice too! Will definitely be reading more books in this series.

Spice was good but most of his early pursuit was just sexual harassment. Also I’m so tired of the “she doesn’t know her own beauty,” shtick esp with plus size characters.
