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.

Gavin Hayes was the inspiration for Roy Kent, this is the most true thing I know. Also, this is quite good and while reading this series out of order is confusing, I'm deeply enjoying it.

I loved this book so much I don't even know what to say about it aside from: READ IT!
(Even more so if you liked Kulti by Mariana Zapata)
