This was an ok read. I love college sport romance. I like how jealous/possessive the H was, but I kinda wish he’d found that energy before they both went screwing everyone on campus during the 2 years of their break up. Too little too late in my opinion. Every time he growled that she was his, my sexist judgy mind kept whispering, “yeah, and everyone else’s too, thanks to your idiocy”. 👀😐😐😵‍💫🙄 It didn’t help that the h kept thinking about all her partners since the hero took her v-card. 🫤😵‍💫 That sunk the book for me. And added to the tedium. They were both so casual about sex that it really sucked all the intensity out of the situation. They both claim to have loved each other the whole time they were sleeping around. 🥴🫤🫠 I know a lot of readers will like the sexual equality, but it just left me sad and bored.

Also, I wish we’d gotten more than just the night they met as the back ground to their relationship. We go from her thinking that she’s hardly even kissed someone before… to 2 years later and they are reminiscing about their hot BDSM sex life during their very short (a few months) relationship. Then when we get to the 2nd Chance sex, it wasn’t all that edgy. A little too PC to be considered much more than the “vanilla” of their “safe word”. 🙄 This book would have been way more angsty and interesting if we’d been present for those first tempestuous months and not just for the regret 2 years (and numerous partners) later.

Bottom Line? It was ok. I think there was a lot of fluff that could have been paired down. I skimmed a lot of the last 60%. But I finished. 🤷🏼‍♀️. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

 ⚔Irunía⚔ Whoring around is fine as long they're both doing that. 🤡🤡🤡

Two wrongs don't make a right, they also say? Honestly, such behavior takes away from romance. Even if they whore around in the name of equality and sexual freedom there's literally no need to stress and elaborate on that aspect. How is this info vital to the plot? How does it make their romance more believable?

Also some authors just don't understand the concept of possessiveness. They see it's a popular trope and just insert mindlessly generic gibberish such as "you're mine" when the whole story is a testament to the hero not really giving af ✨


Melluvsbooks @Sonia - right? I was desperate yesterday 🫠


Melluvsbooks @Irunia - yes! It felt like it was thrown in to pander to the PC crowd but didn’t really fit with the personality of the h. And why do we need her to compare so much? Id never accept that if it were the H. 🤷🏼‍♀️ the book would have been better if his J/p personality had come up as soon as he’d seen her out with her rebound (she jumped into another dude’s bed within days of breaking up with the H 🙄. Who she loved so desperately.) where was all that aggressive “You’re mine” energy during the 2 years they weren’t together? What a waste.


❌ Book Hunter ❌ I’m not a fan of whoring around when they claim to love someone, literally makes zero sense. Now whoring around when not in love ok I can believe that. And I’ve also noticed that too, sex is so causal. Like it literally doesn’t mean anything. Glad I saw your review before reading this!
