Starting a new book by Amy Daws is like putting on your comfy flannel pj pants and curling up under a soft, warm blanket in your favorite cozy reading spot. I know I'm going to laugh, and laugh I did throughout this entire book, the sexy scenes will leave me hot, and there's a very good chance I will be in tears at some point in the story, which I was full blown tears streaming down my face, sniffling too.

The funnies began with Freya and Mac's relationship and when they would be "in a fight". And then it went on to Freya's fumbled conversation with the barista that she was kind of interested in. Oh my gosh, and then the Never Have I Ever game, and learning what a dirty Sanchez is, and that's just eww, no, what is the point of that even?

Of course since I love the soccer players that this author writes, and all the family and friends, getting to spend so much time with the Harris clan and friends is part of what makes this like cuddling up with a good book, or going back to that bar where everyone knows your name. Mac, I adored him! And then there is all the similarities to Freya that I felt. The way she felt that after her month with Mac, she'd probably never get to experience that again. I'm in a stage of my life where I feel the same. That I had a fun time when I was younger, and now it's all over and doesn't ever seem like it will change. So when Mac pushed her away at the end because of things changing, even though he knew he loved her, that's when my tears started.

But the way he went about winning her back at the end was perfect, I just think I'd love a relationship like that, with the arguing and being "in a fight" all the time.

There was definitely a little bit that reminded me of one of my all time favorite books with one of my top book boyfriends, Nate Sawyer from Before Jamaica Lane by Samantha Young. So I loved that. I usually adore all the ways that this author fits in the different jargon and unique phrases used by the characters based on where they're from. But in this case, the bleddy bit didn't make a ton of sense, it bugged me too much. And then there was some "ag" thing at the end that I also didn't really get. None of that matters though, because I love, love, loved the book, the story, and also, I think we need Mac's sister's story next!
