While this admittedly wasn’t my favourite in the series so far, Oliver and Gavin’s story was a joy to read and yet another fantastic instalment in what has quickly become one of my all time favourite series.

Not sure I would have read this if I had known in advance that it's the fifth in a Bridgerton-esque series of sports romances for each sibling in a family. There was a lot of service to fans of the series with references to the other siblings' stories, and that felt kind of shoehorned in there. Which isn't to say the book wasn't enjoyable - it had its moments, and I felt that the internal conflicts for the main characters were believable.

Some gripes:

The audio version should have had two narrators. I didn't feel that Tim Paige distinguished between Oliver and Gavin enough, and since it's dual POV, that got a bit confusing over time.
This is not enemies-to-lovers no matter how it's marketed.
Insta-love is a way more accurate trope for this book, even if it took them a while to figure out that's what it is.
Also, lots of reviews say that this is Roy Kent and Ted Lasso if they were gay and I strongly disagree. This is fan fiction about S1 Roy Kent and S3 Jamie Tartt if they were gay.

Taylor swift song: “Sparks fly”, “this is me trying”, and “the archer”!!

Age rating: 17+ (3-4 steamy scenes but they were🔥!! 2.5/5🌶️)

I love a good queer soccer romance, especially if it’s written by Chloe Liese!! This was a really hot, tension-filled athletic rivals to lovers story, where they are co-captains! It’s also grumpy-sunshine with an age gap (34 and 24) and an only one bed scene🤭. Let me just say, this was the hottest and most tension filled Bergman Brothers novel yet, oh my gosh!! But even while pretending to hate each other, you could still tell they really deeply cared for each other!! I love their relationship so much!! I also loved exploring the mentality of an athlete who is reaching the end of their career, and how they have to cope with basically having to re-find their purpose in life. The previous books with athletes only depicted them at the beginning or prime of their careers. I also loved the discussion about being an openly queer professional athlete!! I also loved seeing an update on the other Bergman couples, since thus does have a 4 year time jump! I can’t wait for the last two books, but I don’t want this series to be over!!

One mmc (Oliver) is bi and the other mmc (Gavin) is gay.
There is also mental health rep!! Oliver struggles with anxiety and panic attacks.

A note for the audiobook: they only used one narrator, even though it was dual pov, so it got confusing to remember whose perspective we were in, and at times confusing. They definitely should’ve used two male narrators in my opinion.
