Reviews tagging 'Sexual content'

This was okay. I’ll preface with saying I’m not a big romance reader so I could be biased. I read this bc my bf (a hockey player) heard about the trend of hockey romance books and I was commissioned to see if they were accurate. I ended up picking this one bc the coach’s daughter thing interested me.

I will say what hockey was featured was fairly accurate. I thought the book was going to be a more forbidden romance type w her as the coach’s daughter but it was really a fairly standard fwb to lovers. I also felt like there was just way too much smut. Like I’m not even a prude like that but there was almost no plot. If you’re into that cool, but I was hoping for more story. What story we did get felt a little predictable. I think the story could have been a lot more interesting and fleshed out. Some aspects just fell flat or felt like strange(ex Penny having a traumatic sexual experience and then wanting to do a bunch of sex stuff with a cooper before she even really knew him just felt odd).

If you’re looking for a slot of smut you’ll enjoy this but if you’re hoping for a solid story line I wouldn’t bother

I binged this book so quickly OMG.

Cooper and Penny were such an open and understanding couple, they never belittled the other, they respected each other and gave space when it was needed, they communicated to each other their wants in and out of the bedroom. They are the blueprint that every good relationship needs to follow.

I loved every second of this book, it was fast paced and told even more of the Callahan families story that I cannot wait to continue in the next books. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully describe just how much I love these characters and their little quirks.

I enjoyed seeing James and Bex from book one again and loved that Sebastian's love interest has already been introduced and that we got to see her on multiple occassions.

Grace Reilly's writing is so easy to fall into and keep reading without even realising times passing. Highly recommend this series but please look up trigger warnings for this book as it does touch on some heavy topics that I don't want to spoil here.

This book is a very very good read. If you like romance and spicy books this book will be for you. The way the plot is written and the way the characters are portrayed is just immaculate. This book isnt one you just forget and I can now say that Grace Reilly is now one of my favourite authors, I will be reading her other books about these characters in this book.
