agrippinaes's review against another edition

I enjoyed this. Some of the writing is a little bit clunky and could be tighter, but the plot is fun and the chemistry between Maddox and Braxton is good. The idea of their relationship is quite sweet and I thought the fake relationship aspect was done quite well. There was a depth and a history to their relationship I quite liked. The sex was quite hot and steamy.
However, it all moved a little bit fast for me. I wanted the angst and conflict to continue a bit longer – stories like this thrive when there’s conflict and I think it lacked something once they resolved their issues. I thought the way they gave into their feelings was a bit rushed and didn’t feel as genuine to me.
It was fine, for the most part; I enjoyed reading it even if I did find some of it a bit rushed and the ending a bit all over the place. If I was looking for something easy to read and fun then I would definitely try this author again.
Content Notes: Second chance, hate-to-love, fake relationship, childhood-friends-to-lovers, hockey, plus sized FMC.

Great Characters
I thoroughly enjoyed both Braxton & Maddox but Maddox was on another level! He was incredible!
My only complaint was that it was a tiny bit drawn out. I know some people love loads of epilogues but I was kind of finished with the story before it was done , if that mages any sense!
Other than that I will definitely be trying more by this author!

I know they were childhood crushes reunited, but the insta-love was not my favorite. Nor was the possessive MMC. Decent and plentiful 🌶️ though.
