Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Some people might call it a grudge, but in reality, hating Alessandra Jones is more like an obsession. AJ is the league’s first female general manager, and my boss. As the team captain, I have to play nice with her—in public, at least. But in private, the gloves come off. And then one time, our clothes do too. We vow it won’t happen again. Not only can we not stand each other, but we’re in tense negotiations over my contract right now, and AJ is up for the league’s GM of the Year award. Getting involved wouldn’t just be a PR nightmare—it would be unethical. It doesn’t help that we have a history, or that she and my daughter adore each other. When AJ is injured protecting my baby, there’s no choice but to move her into my place. Taking care of someone I hate shouldn’t feel so right. Getting to know her better shouldn’t break down my defenses. She’s hurt me once before, and I’d be a fool to trust her again. But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that maybe I’m not obsessed with hating her . . . maybe I’m just obsessed with her.

    First of all, I want to thank Worldsmith Publicity for sending me an ARC of this book. Thank you for trusting me with the opportunity to review this amazing story, which I will gladly do!

    The relationship between Alessandra and Ronald was anything but calm: a rollercoaster of emotions that constantly had me wondering, What’s going to happen next? Why are they acting like this? This book is a true slow burn, and I must say, I absolutely loved it. The development of their relationship took its time—almost more than half the book—and for me, that was divine, because I adore this kind of slow, detailed narrative.

    Abby was such a sweetheart, an absolute delight. I also loved how the characters from previous books continue to play an important role in the story. That sense of unity among them made everything feel even more special. It was fun, heartwarming, and yes, I cried a lot. Everything surrounding Alessandra and her experiences deeply touched my heart.

    The ending, moreover, set the stage perfectly for the next couple, and what an ending it was! It left me in shock, with so many questions and an immense desire to find out what will happen next.

    Thank you again for letting me read this book. And lastly, I can’t go without mentioning Julia, who is one of my favorite authors. I adore her writing style, the intensity she brings to every page, and that unique spark that always hooks me. I’ll be eagerly waiting for her next books, and without a doubt, I’ll be one of the first to read them. Thank you, Julia!
