The description of the book starts off with “Berkley Daniels is a no one special” and then the book goes on to try to contradict that. Brent, a hockey player, just sees Berkley and knows she’s the one - but sure, she’s no one special. Even though I don’t love the description putting down Berkley, the book is good overall. There is some tension that builds between Berkley and Brent so their romance comes through, even if it isn’t the most dynamic. They had a lot of hot or cold moments and it sometimes came off as forced. I do love how much this highlights Berkley going through law school and she actually is concerned about her classes and career. She can come off as too insecure and Brent comes off as too alpha male at various times and there is the dreaded third act breakup. I feel like a quarter of this book could’ve been cut out and the storyline would’ve been much better. Overall, it’s still a good story and an easy read. 3.25⭐️, 2.5🌶
