The reason for the third act break up was revealed way too soon ...and turned the whole story into a waiting game more than anything else. The premise of the story was excellent. The smut was superb(that closet scene🥴😮‍💨). The execution of the story though, that left a lot to be desired.

When I started reading this book I wasn't expecting for it to have such a dark beginning, however I really enjoyed it. There were a few things that I think were missing that would have made this a 5 star read but the romance was very good.
I couldn't put the book down for a couple of days and I can't wait to read the next book.
This is, so far, the spiciest book I have read this year.

LOVED. What a unique take on the “finding my true self” journey of discovery! Started and finished in almost one sitting and stayed up way too late reading this one because I couldn’t put it down. Great balance of spicy AND heartwarming!

I loved the basis of the plot of this book! Birdie is great and is handling what is an absolutely traumatic and insane time in her life with such grace and a lot less panic attacks than I would that’s for sure! But I really cannot bring myself to like Lonan even a little bit. He starts out as a player sleeping around which is fine but he truly has such little regard for these women it is gross. And the way he speaks to and about them is just not it. But even with all of that I was okay with him until he CALLED THE MEDIA AND LEAKED BIRDIES STORY SO SHE WOULDN'T LEAVE! This woman just found out that she was abducted by the woman who she thought was her mother and has been reunited with her long lost family after more than 20 years and instead of supporting her and giving her space to find her footing and be there for her you throw a hissy fit and call the media because you overheard a one side conversation. Dude grow up and ask her how she is doing and if she doesn’t tell you RESPECT THAT AND GIVE HER SPACE! Then he basically coerces her into staying with him at his place so she will be safe from the media. Who will keep her safe from you bro!? And then she tells him numerous times I’m not ready for a relationship and things are crazy I can only be your friend and he just ignores her REPEATEDLY and won’t just let her be.

An incredible debut novel. I went into this only knowing it was a hockey romance after a friend recommended it and it was a great time! I don’t want to give anything away if someone also wants to go in blind, but please read content warning. There are heavy topics throughout.
