I have never read a Monica Murphy book that I have not loved, and I have read most.

I watch out for every new release and it's always an easy 5 stars. This one is not, and that hurts me.

This storyline is fantastic. I adore so many of the characters. I look forward to the rest of the series. Not only to read about how the other characters find love, but to see how the less adorable ones redeem themselves. The pace is perfect. It's good enough that once I started reading it, I did not stop until the last page.

However, I am annoyed by the person who edited this one for Monica. I've never edited a romance novel in my life, but I sure as heck want that job.

I refuse to do this author an injustice by publicly stating the "flaws". Quite honestly, I nearly opted out of giving feedback, but I am settling for not posting it anywhere else. I will say that this version is not publish and release ready.

Should it happen without another edit, please read and recommend. This book is still pure joy and any romance reading lover will enjoy it.

I would call this more of a 3.5 star read for me personally. Fans of Say You Swear and the TV show New Girl will love this book! The premise was interesting and worked well at quickly forming connections between our core characters. If you like storylines that are more on the forbidden romance, forced proximity vibe with a mix of insta-love and heavy on the tension early on then this book is for you! The book is also a nice easy read and definitely works well as a palate cleanser when you want something fun and lighthearted to read. The only reason I could not rate it a 4 was mainly due to the fact that I appreciate more of a slow-burn romance but can see people who don’t want that would love this book.

Fans of college sports romance will absolutely devour this!

It has forbidden love, roommates, forced proximity and found family vibes. I really liked both MCs. I found their relationship was steamy and romantic.

This is a quick read too.
