iiiiii honestly don’t even know how to start. this was so good SO GOOD, but just not quite as good as Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. they’re only a little similar, but i couldn’t help comparing the two when i was reading this. iced out is still 10000% a 5 star read for me, but there literally isn’t a day that goes by where i don’t think about ilya and shane from HR and i’m dead serious about that. i think maybe ilya and shane had a little more time to show their emotional connection than quinton and oakley because it was longer. idk i’m gonna stop rambling now

bumping this up to 5 stars upon reread bc the pain is VISCERAL
