I loved this book. As the final stop on my journey through Maggie Gates’ backlist, Nothing Less Than Everything felt like the perfect way to wrap it all up. It’s so cool to see how much she’s grown as a writer; this book is polished, addictive, and packed with great moments.

Wren and Tatum’s chemistry? Off. The. Charts. From their first meeting, you can just feel the tension, and the way their relationship unfolds is so effortless and natural. Wren is such a fun, dynamic FMC—by day, she’s dealing with high maintenance clients as an interior designer, and by night, she’s rocking those red leather boots as a Rhode Island Red Cocks cheerleader. Tatum, meanwhile, is adjusting to life on a new football team, and while he might not be thrilled about being traded to the East Coast, meeting Wren definitely makes things way more interesting.

This book is low angst but never boring. It’s full of electric, flirty moments (hello, coat closet scene 👀), but it also has a really solid emotional core. The way both characters navigate their careers and the uncertainty of their futures felt real had me rooting for them every step of the way.

If you love sports romance with forced proximity, viral videos, and just the right amount of spice, Nothing Less Than Everything is an absolute must read. Maggie Gates knocked it out of the park with this one, and I loved every second of it.
