⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[  ] Alexei enjoys poking Georgia to make her mad like a little kid would poke a hornets' nest. He KNOWS this will end poorly for him and yet does it anyway.

[  ] I absolutely LOVE Georgia's "I can wear pretty things like armor and feel like a total badass" philosophy. Also, she has two pet bunnies?! HOW ADORABLE.

[  ] Awwww, soccer coach!Georgia! I love that she's so fiery, loving, and protective, and practically NEEDS people to look after.

[  ] Alexei and Georgia are like oil and water that somehow defies the laws of physics and mix together to make a deadly explosive. They're complete opposites and yet they're exactly what the other needs.

[  ] To see each of their barriers falling and realizing the other isn't who they thought they were, that their partner is BETTER than they believed, and to see them each realize "uh oh, I may be in real trouble. I'm falling in love with my spouse" is amazing.

[  ] Of course Alexei secretly loves the bunnies. Hotness/cuteness overload.

[  ] Alexei coaching soccer has melted my whole heart. 

[  ] "Your sparkly shit is growing on me" oh Alexei. You love Georgia's sparkly shit. And non-sparkly shit. And everything else she wears and about her.

[  ] 😍❤️ MY WIFE ❤️😍

[  ] Watching the two most stubborn and independent people on the planet learn to trust and rely on each other is DOING THINGS TO ME

[  ] These two are the doodle of the two cartoon characters bent around each other at crazy angles, each trying to protect the other. MEANT. TO. BE.

[  ] The way they suit each other, two parts of the same whole - it makes me so incredibly happy.

I also can't wait to see more of Coach!Alexei next book!!!!!

[  ] Another absolutely incredible book for Stephanie Archer to add to her list. I'd honestly read 87 Vancouver Storm books (and I hope Walker gets a book, too!) and still ask for more.
