4.54 AVERAGE


No geral foi um pouquinho fanservice e meio repetitivo, mas curti o aprofundamento do personagem do Ilya. Ele é o melhor personagem da série e foi bom ver mais dele e do processo dele de entendimento com a depressão. 

I have never sat with a shit eating grin on my face while reading a book before. Ilya is such an amazing character and boy is he funny. His chirping was great and just made the book delightful for me.

The love between Shane and Ilya is just as amazing as Heated Rivalry and so is the writing. You get even more character growth in this book and it was what I wanted when Heated Rivalry ended. I am so so so glad I read these books and got to know these characters.

I will be reading them again in the future and I can't wait to fall in love with them again.

I'd give easily 10 or 20 instead of 5 stars!!

What a great end of a fantastic series!
In Long Game, it's Ilya who's more or less the center of the story. And he's such an interesting character!! It's not one of those sappy and a bit unlikely stories that have flooded the book market in the last couple of years.
Must continue at a later time.
I've listened to the story, narrated by Cooper North who again was brilliant.

The ebook AND real book beckon to be re-read.
This will be one of my all-time favourites for sure.

Heated Rivalry ended in a cliffhanger and a promise that Ilya and Shane’s relationship would continue in secret. 

We catch up with them and find things are less than perfect. Ilya has given up a lot to live in secret and communicating those needs is the central theme of this follow-up read. 

I’ll admit it was frustrating at times. There was a lot of avoidance and sex and “love yous” while hiding how everything is falling apart. This is Ilya’s book and it was great to get more of himself on the page. 

That being said the things we loved from Heated Rivalry come through full force. Their banter is great. Ilya is cocky and hilarious as ever. 

The followup readers wanted and it delivered in my book
