This was my first real step into dark romance and I just don’t think it’s for me. It had quite a lot of graphic SA which I just don’t think is for me. Really sad and I think in general pretty well done but not my favorite genre. 
3/5 🌶️

This book was a total surprise. I thought this was just another silly little sports ronance where the MCs are just horny and boinking. This was so much more. And the audiobook was just *chefs kiss*. Sean Cristen and Jo Raylan are so good in conveying the emotions of each MC. This quickly became one of my favourite books. 
The FMC gets into a difficult situation, but i liked that she saves herself. 
PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Wow.. just wow. 

This book is very heavy. It’s got some dark elements to it so if I’d highly recommend looking at the triggers prior to reading it if you need to. It include domestic abuse and rape.  

I’ll be honest and say that I did not read a description about this book prior to reading it. I saw that it had good reviews and was a sports romance. Kennedy Ryan will also be at an event that I will be attending in a couple weeks so I wanted to read some of her books. So I picked this one and jumped right in. 

Man, did this book twist my heart around. I had so much hate in my heart for Caleb. I’ll be honest I wanted to jump in the book and unalive him myself. 

I loved how Iris’s character was written. She was such a strong and brave woman. She always put her child first and I respect her for that. She got herself out of a horrible situation and really did the work to help improve herself. 

I absolutely adored August. He is what a real man looks like. I am so happy that he got his HEA. 

This was such a well written book. I highly recommend it!! 

Fun fact. Kennedy is the name of my youngest. So of course I had to read a book by an author with the same name! ❤️🏀
