Not gonna lie, I forced myself to finish it.😵‍💫

I am disappointed and angry. I loved Mica in "home game" but I didn't like him at all in this book. Too much possessiveness and ‘machito alfa’ for me.
Charlie idealized things that should be completely normal in a husband and a future father💀

The last chapters seem like something out of a bad thriller movie.

In my opinion there have been several occasions where I have not felt that there was consent and it is something that I haven’t liked at all.

The ending lost me but I finished it anyway. I really enjoyed the build up of tension between them. I’m not sure if I missed trigger warnings but there definitely should be some for DUBCON. I was caught completely off guard. Other trigger warnings as well but that was the big one for me.

Was having fun reading a marriage of convenience story about a hockey player but then it turned into a thriller kinda??? Could have done w out that. Halfway through the book spooky shit started happening and it was not what I signed up for lmfao. And then the ending?!?? Straight up a kidnapping and more nefarious shit going on. 
Take all that out and I had a great time reading it lmao. There was no problem with it, it just wasn’t what I expected or wanted out of the book. I could easily pick up on what was happening and got a lil annoyed at the characters for not realising but oh well. 
Mild miscommunication trope but was solved relatively quick before the batshit started hahah.
