DNF @ 25%  I can't take it anymore.
 
What in the Wattpad was that? Literally no plot, just smut. I need to stop trusting tiktok's recommendations.

I can see why this is so popular. It’s very GenZ friendly. I liked how healthy they are about communication, but I was pretty casual about finishing it. 
I can see this being a movie or a series.

Worthy of the hype for the smut content alone. I had a silly goofy fun time and will be reading every other book in this series.

not seeing Anastasia’s solo career is a miss on the authors part. She gains all of this confidence via her man but it would have been so much more interesting to see her do it for a career that is entirely reliant upon herself. The public non-consensual kiss was visceral to read and if it *needed* to be included, it should have happened with more than 20 odd pages left in the book to see some of Anastasia’s growth and processing which we were granted for much less severe plot points.

This book is very long and there were some things I felt could be cut out, some relationships I felt could be tamed down. But overall, I really enjoyed this! The spicy scenes were excellent. Nate as a character is phenomenal. He’s a great example of what healthy masculinity looks like without being perfect.

The story was cute, but there was definitely some things that annoyed me throughout.

Enjoyed: 
Any scene with Anastasia and Nate being cute and couple-y.  She’s a smartass and he loves it.  She needs someone to take care of her and he is ready to do it.

Anastasia’s relationship with the other hockey guys, esepecially Henry.  He is so sweet and blatantly honest.  Protect him at all costs.  I totally understand wanting to marry him, in a completely unromantic way.

Annoyed:
Anastasia’s relationship with Aaron. It wouldn’t have annoyed me so much if it didn’t last until the very end of the book.  Aaron is a complete piece of shut, no redeeming qualities.  The scene at the competition crossed too many lines.
