So sad that I couldn’t actually read this as there was so many formatting issues in the book! It sounded so fun and from what I could tell about the writing it was going to be such a great story!

Such a fun sports romance, good plot with excellent spice. loved Cameron! This book has it all its best friends brother, spicy, sports and top tier romance
I agree with previous reviews the flashbacks were a tad confusing. Honestly a great palate cleanser especially after reading an emotionally draining book.

This was a really nice and easy flowing read that didn't really bring anything different to the table in regards to the premise but it was charming and I really enjoyed the characters.

I love a sports romance when it is done well. This was one of those ones.

It had it all - exciting characters, a great storyline and spiceeeee! The flashbacks were confusing at times but I soon got used to them.

I loved Cameron, I wasn't sure on him at first but I soon warmed to him.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for sending me this copy for an honest review.

tropes:
- brothers best friend
- friends to lovers
- sports romance
- spicy romance

DNF, book wasn't for me. I really wanted to enjoy however didn't feel like the writing or characters were for me

I really enjoyed this! The chemistry between these two was great 😃. I enjoyed them rekindling and exploring their feelings for each other. I enjoyed the side characters as well and it was a great story all around!

First of all, huge thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this early. Second of all, I LOVED THIS! I remember reading this originally when it was on Wattpad, so when I saw it was being published traditionally, I couldn't wait to read it all over again! Maddie and Cameron own my heart honestly. The third act breakup wasn't annoying like in most books, it didn't leave me wanting to drop the book because I couldn't handle the two being separated for so long. I actually really enjoyed it! And the way this book dealt with grief.. Deanna really nailed it on the head with this one. I am always a sucker for sports romance, so this was right up my alley and I just love love LOVE it. Added bonus points for SPICE!

This was a nice read, but for me there wasn't anything to make it stand out from the many brother's best friend, childhood friend, sports romances out there. `I enjoyed reading it, but I don't think I would go back and read again.

Unfortunately, I was unable to read this book due to file format issues. Send to Kindle for this book didn't work and I tried reading through Adobe Digital Editions and NetGalley app and the format was totally off. Have contacted customer support but haven't got an updated file. Will definitely read it if becomes available on KU.

It was a fun book. I liked both of the main characters and their chemistry.

I thought it was missing a bit of background on their childhood however, so the readers could be more engaged in the story. Some of the writing wasn’t really for my taste, it did was missing a plot to engaged in the story for me.

I had no way of reading this because the file wouldn't send to my kindle and when I tried to read on the NetGalley app the layout was impossible to understand.

I LOVED Maddie and Cam!

Childhood friends to enemies to lovers 😍. What more could you want from a romance.

Maddie is Ethan’s little sister, totally off limits, but Cameron has always had eyes for her. In the process of trying to process and grieve the loss of his Mum, Cameron is unforgivable in his words that ruin his and Maddie’s friendship.

Spring break arrives and Maddie and Cameron are thrown back together. Cameron’s end goal is still to be drafted for the NFL and Maddie is doing everything she can to study to become a doctor.

Upon repairing their friendship because they know the family holiday would be awkward if they didn’t. Maddie and Cameron’s are drawn to each other!

I loved how the characters story unravelled in this, the writing is easy to follow and I couldn’t wait to hear what happened between the pair of them. It was a super sweet romance with a little bit of spice!

I’m so sorry, but something absolutely nuts happened to the formatting of my edition of this book, making it genuinely impossible to read… words were split up, lines were cut off, words were missing, it was ridiculous. I really would love to read this, but the copy I got was just illegible…

Unfortunately this book just wasn't for me. I enjoyed the first half and found the story fun but it was dragging towards the end for me and took away from the overall enjoyment of the book. Everything seemed to happen really quick it felt a lot like a 'trauma dump'

The character development was unexpected but still a enjoyable part of the book. I enjoyed that they were childhood friends. I liked their chemistry together. I wish their was more focus on this childhood elements and chapters around this.

I think some will enjoy this book but for me the writing and the story was not enjoyable unfortunately.

I would have loved to have been able to provide a review but the file did not send to my kindle and due to bad eyesight I cannot read via the app.

Fun and cute, with leads that have scintillating chemistry! The flashbacks were great, and really helped flesh out their relationship. That said, it doesn't break any new ground, and honestly relied on some fairly outdated tropes, like the slutty male lead, the female who must be a virgin, the female fixing the male trauma by putting up with absolutely bullshit and somehow that proves her worth to him.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group for the ARC

A cute and sweet romance novel. I really like the brother's best friend trope and loved it just as much in this book. It's always fun with the secrecy and when the brother will found out and what the consecuences will be. I liked that the fmc had a back bone and didn't throw away everything for the mmc but still had ambitions.

I have been so into college sports romances lately, and I can't even explain why.

I was excited to read this as it was right up my alley but I felt quite dissapointed.

I just feel like there wasn't anything that made this book sand out from the 10 billion other college/sports/brother's best friend trope, which I think it something you need to be trying to do differently if you're expecting people to be fully invested in your book.

It wasn't a bad read and it was well written but I just found the whole book very predictable and unoriginal.

Such a cute fluffy romance! Loved the characters and the story. A fun read to break up all the fantasy I have been reading.

Fun, sexy and flirty. This brilliant little romantic comedy is the tonic we all need. I look forward to more from this author.
