What a lovely change it is to read a romance novel in which the characters are actually together for the majority of the book. So often these days, we spend the majority of a book waiting for a couple to get together and then the epilogue is the only place that we get to find out how they actually get on sharing their lives. Consider Me allows the reader to experience the full picture of Olivia and Carter’s relationship, while still playing with the flirtatious banter and vulnerability that comes with getting to know a new partner.

I have wanted to read this series for quite some time because I heard that it was a very realistic hockey romance. I have to say that it did not meet my expectations in that way. I would have preferred to have seen far more of Carter’s day-to-day than we did, like training, his coach and the rest of the team, etc. Though I loved getting to know Emmett, Adam and Garrett, it would have been great to see more of the team and how they interact, as well as Carter’s responsibilities as captain.

Consider Me is playful, emotional, and heart-warming. Olivia and Carter both grow so much as people through this tale, learning how to open themselves up and trust other people. It’s beautiful to read. Carter’s journey, in particular, from playboy to being downright obsessed with Olivia is so sweet, and watching Olivia learn to accept his love is just gorgeous.

I wouldn’t say Consider Me is the most gripping story I’ve read recently, but it is by far one of the most real in terms of how the characters interact and progress. I especially love Adam and I hope we get to see him get his happy ending as the series progresses.

Relatively easy romance read. Pacing is a bit off at times, especially after the halfway point: some parts feel really long and other parts happen too quickly. No major plot with a fast developing romance which I thoroughly enjoyed.

A couple of clunky sentences which could have done with a revision (typos, wonky wording, clearly edited sentences with a word change but the original word was left in). But still enjoyable.

Sword of thunder 🤢🤣

I liked it. Sometimes you just wanna read a romance where they're obsessed with each other and happy. They are that for most of this book. It was only a tiny bit eye rolly during the third act breakup with a guy who literally doesn't do a single thing wrong after chapter one and, imo
it's kinda cringe to propose at someone else's wedding even if they say it's okay.

Despite the copious amount of grammatical errors in this book, I completely fell in love with Carter and Olivia. This was a great palate cleanser for me, while still having the right amount of emotional depth and complexity that makes it more than just a fluff read. I wasn’t a huge fan of the miscommunication trope that happens later on in the book, but thankfully that was pretty short-lived.
