Tropes:
-Brother’s rival
-Sports romance
-Forced proximity
-Footballer x Ballerina
Ana Huang writing a sports romance is what I didn’t know I needed this year. Make it a football romance and I was frothing at the mouth. Overall I really loved the book, it was on the long side but when you listen to it on audio it’s a 10/10 for me.
You also get to see more character growth which I really liked, specially in Asher and Vincent. I haven’t read a ‘brother’s rival’ romance book in a while and I loved this one. I also loved Vincent and Adil as a side character, they were hilarious the entire time.
Nicknames are my weakness and one of my favourite micro tropes. Asher calling Scarlett ‘darling’ made me all warm and fuzzy inside. This man might be my new fave fictional man from Ana Huang.
