I ate this up!!
Even in dual POV books, I feel like there’s always a “true” main character, and even though the summary, start, and end of the books are in Oakley’s POV, I feel like Quinton is the true main character. I loved his POV so much and the journey he went on
The relationship is written really well, going from rivals to fuck buddies to more. While I do find it highly unrealistic that they would still be at each other’s throats like this after playing on the same team for three years (and that the coaches and team would put up with it for so long), it didn’t bother me for long
The smut is so good, the perfect balance of tension and emotion and action, and not shying away from getting into it. Also hit a lot of favorite tropes on the head for me, so that’s always nice
