Such a cute why choose MMF book. Mav & Colt are childhood friends turned rival bull-riders. They were super close with Callie until an accident had her move away for 8 years. She's back in town and both Maverick and Colt will do anything to be with her. The chemistry in this book between all the characters was so good. No third act breakup. Highly recommend !

"No matter what?"

"Yeah Liz. No matter what." 

THIS WAS SUCH A WELL WRITTEN BOOK!!! I love the BOT series, the story and depth in this one really puts you into the characters perspective. Lizzie Young😭😭💔💔 so many people failed her and I hope in the next book we get more answers. Hughie was amazing and patient even though he was parentified at such a young age. Their childhood relationship was so beautiful. I will not stop thinking about Lizzie & Hughie!!!

Childhood friends to lovers trope with a runaway bride scene✨ enjoyed the dynamics between Penny & Tripp, she is feisty,fun, & dominant. Loved how the pregnancy trope didn't feel rushed at all and felt organic to the story 💜

"I'll love you for everything left of forever in every lifetime we get" WOWW🥹🥹 what a beautiful second chance. 5 stars, no doubt. Oh my GOD, this book healed me and is perfect read for long term relationships and sometimes growing apart to grow together. Ellis & Wren roadtrip was so beautiful. Open communication and honesty with each other to see where their relationship could develop. I can't wait to re-read this <3 

Thanks for the arc! This was a wild read.Definitely dark and forbidden (mfm step siblings), I was curious to see how this story developed as it is not what I thought was going to happen? So many twists and turns, this was plot driven as much character development hadn't happened. Aries and Arson had morally gray moments but still cant 100% decide what their intentions are and Lilian was a strong willed fmc. Was not expecting it to leave on a cliff hanger though 🫣

If you’re into sports romance and the found family trope, this series seriously delivers. If you are looking to fill the Windy City Series void, this is the series for you!! 

The found family in this book was even deeper than the others. Everyone showing up for Riley as he navigates losing a limb was just… whew. It was written with so much care, and I really appreciated how disability and accessibility were centered throughout the story.

Chelsea always writes her women strong, independent, and feminist while still giving them space to fall in love in a real, supportive way. Lexi and Riley had so much open communication, especially around disability, intimacy,and being an athlete post-injury, and it made their relationship feel so grounded and solid. I think they are tied with Emmy & Maverick for my favorite couples in the series.

There were so many beautiful little moments around mental health and chosen family. It felt really true to reality especially how much thought and care goes into navigating a new disability.

Also?? The Easter eggs for the next books?? I was screaming. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOKS. ETHAN'S BOOK WILL BE SO GOOD. 

Oh and this one is spicier than the others 🌶️ 

Loved the surprise at the end and can't wait to see how all the couples grow by the end. 

Tropes:
✨ Secret Tattoo
✨ Years of Yearning
✨ Athletic Trainer x Hockey Player
✨ Disability & Mental Health Rep
✨ Rope Play
✨ Open Communication

I ate this up!! Dante is EVERYTHING 🔥🔥 enemies to lovers of an arranged marriage. Enjoyed Vivian as a fmc and how she stood up for herself at the end. Dante FOUGHT for her and I loved all the moments of tough Dante being so soft for her. The dates and the end proposal ring were so cute 🥹 can't wait to dive into the rest of the series!

Quick spicy read 🌶️ Dante is a morally gray psychiatrist and he has been obsessed with his younger assistant for 2 years now. The chemistry was SO good!

Sloane (fmc) defiantly has a traumatizing and intense background story but it was handled with care. I really enjoyed Logan, what a fun rookie! He is totally obsessed with Sloane and slowly learning his stalkerish traits from his teammate. Loved the happy ending epilogues <3

The prologue had me HOOKED, I wasn't sure where the story was going to go. I love how Riley's experience and chronic health were handled with care. I enjoyed Riley as a FMC and how she navigated her trauma. Of course, I loved the morally gray mmc, Jace !! He is soo insane and I love it. The stalking, tracking, changing classes, football games, & taking care of the guy who harmed her in the past. I love this series!
