Ugh, I love a good MM sports romance and this did not disappoint! Ty and Luca are both MMA fighters, but they are also competitors and enemies. When they are given an opporunity to train at an elite gym together, they both take it, despite the fact that they hate the idea of being near each other, let alone training together. Luca takes on the task of trying to help Ty though, as he notices that he's struggling and could use some help. What blooms is a beautiful friendship and relationship between the two of them. I loved that this book didn't feature a lot of homophobia, and everyone was really accepting of Luca's bisexuality, Ty's discovery of his own sexuality, and their relationship as a couple within this sports world. The spicy scenes were definitely hot and steamy! I do wish their backstories had been explored more, especially Ty and the way he grew up and his family. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!
