Fantasy football has taken over my life these past few months and this was the perfect book to end the season with. Aiden's character development was one of my favorite character arcs ever. I never would have expected the characters to grow and unfold the way they did, but I have zero complaints. This book is also the slow burniest of all slow burns but somehow doesn't have too much drawn-out angst (but it's there don't get me wrong). It's exactly what it's marketed as; a cliche sports rom-com. There were some chapters that were a bit repetitive but this was a very easy feel-good read while also having the perfect balance of whump and romance.

Literally loved it. It was so sweet and adorable. The slow burn was on 100. Don’t like how they dismissed the fact that Aiden basically got sexually assaulted and essentially said it’s happened more than once. To add insult to injury, Vanessa laughed at it. Besides that, wonderful. P.S. I’ve declared Mark Andrews as my Aiden Graves despite the difference in position. Fight me on it
