Reread 2025: 
This series is so good!! I did almost all of this one using the audio version, only a few chapters using ebook. I really like the narrator for the FMC, and I like the narrator for the MMC when he's doing male character voices, but not my fave for female characters, but still may continue my reread of the next one via audio. I remember liking this book even more than the first one when I read them the first time and that may still be true, but I'm honestly not sure I can pick since they're so different. This time it's just two people, Tess (Rachel's bff who comes to Jacksonville for a while to escape her estranged husband who is causing issues for her at work), and Ryan (another hockey player. I like that there's still queer rep (she's bi), and that she's older than him by a good handful of years (I think 6-8, I forget). She's also plus size and portrayed well, and he has dyslexia and dysgraphia. They're kinky in a different way than the last book, and it comes by the way of her introducing him to more things because he's never really explored his own sexuality a ton, just had one night stands where he got what he needed and moved on. Tess is a firecracker and ballbuster, and may be my fave character of the entire series so far. I'm excited to read what's next for them in the bonus novella, as I can't quite remember.
