Talia writes the most kick your feet and giggle inducing romances ever. I love her so so much! 

I loved how opposite these two were. And how they balanced eachother out while simultaneously getting the other to be able to be vulnerable and trust. 

I'm not usually a sports romance person, but Nik definitely changed that. This man is just far too beautiful and sincere. An absolute himbo, and I love him for it. 

Aria is so smart and gorgeous and TALENTED. I want a tattoo from her! It made me so happy that she
got to oprn her shop.
 

She and I also have a couple things in common, trust issues and ptsd. I understand how hard it is to allow yourself to love after such a big tragedy. And I was so incredibly proud of her for allowing herself to love and be loved and to trust again. 

I think my favorite aspect of this book was the decades later epilogue.
Seeing them married and in love was so precious. And their daughter also experiencing her father's and grandfather's love at first sight moment was so special. My heart soared when Nik said he'd get her the ring tomorrow.


I had so much fun while reading this. Even if at times the futbol guys were a bit much. Like omg did it feel like a frat house in Spain 😂.
