Ame este libro, pudimos un poco de como iban las cosas con los protagonistas de otros libros pero principalmente pudimos ver la conclusión de la relación entre Shane e Ilya, solo puedo decir que estoy cada vez más enamorada de Ilya 

I was really looking forward to this book, mostly because Ilya is one of my favorite romance characters ever. It was amazing. Excellent audio narration. CWs:
Spoiler (very little but some) suicidal ideation, past death of a parent, forced outing, likely disordered eating that is not addressed as such, homophobia.

Shane and Ilya finally get the HEA!!! I laughed, I cried and completely loved seeing the natural progression of the heartfelt, soulful and true connection between Shane and Ilya. The Long Game is their perfect conclusion.

❤️❤️❤️

I love Ilya a lot.

I mostly enjoyed reading it, although the ending kind of spoiled it for me. I read some pretty insightful reviews about what the problem with the ending is, and I don't disagree. I do think that the issue is that this is Penguins fanfic disguised as a novel, and the merging of the two didn't quite work.
dark emotional relaxing medium-paced

Holy shit. This was INCREDIBLE. Better than Heated Rivalry. Ilya deserves everything. He’s wonderful. I’m glad eventually that Shane got out of his own way.
