This was a very heartwarming romance. Gavin and Oliver, the main love interests, are consistently coming to verbal blows at the beginning of the story. Despite this, it is clear that they each have a healthy level of respect for each other as teammates. This only makes for a lot of space for their relationship to develop as they are forced to work together as co-captains. The verbal banter they have eventually turns into very entertaining flirting. 

Gavin has a lot of chronic pain that he spends most of his time hiding from his team. He is a very prideful man, but as Oliver gets to know him Gavin starts allowing Oliver to be his emotional support through his physical pain. Oliver suffers from anxiety and Gavin is receptive enough to offer Oliver his support without making him feel embarrassed about it. The emotional development of the relationship was incredibly satisfying and this is one of the best romances I have probably read this year. 

I also love that the side characters also play an important part in the story. We get to see a lot of funny sibling interactions between Oliver and his family. His niece is also an adorable addition to the cast of characters. Oliver's niece helps bring out a softer side to the usually grumpy and serious Gavin. The book feels balanced in many ways that I wish more romance novels were. Overall, this is one of my favorite installments in the series so far and I look forward to reading the next one.

firstly, THE FAMILY SCENES WERE HILARIOUS! ❤️ i absolutely love the way they're a close-knit, meddlesome, funny family and how they love strongly, the time jump was actually really well done too.
the banter between oliver and gav was funny and i really wish there were more pranks done, it was definitely on the slowburn side and i felt that suited them better than any 'lets fuck, no feelings' type thing. the grumpy sunshine vibes were definitely here, “Awfully aware of my wardrobe, aren’t you?” “Hard to miss it when you walk around dressed like a storm cloud.”

"You're the fucking sunrise of my heart, love."

AND VIGGO, I NEED THIS MANS BOOK LIKE YESTERDAY,

"Their knuckles both turn white as they try to squeeze the life out of each other’s palms. “Just remember, I know where you live,” Viggo tells him. “Good grief,” I mutter." 
THIS WAS SO FUNNY.
