I also thought that Liese did a really wonderful job with the representation in Frankie’s character, and I appreciated the author’s notes on this being an own voices story. While Ren was amazing, Frankie was even more so! I related to her being a bit of a grump. (Ugh, I swear, these romances have absolutely ruined me for reality lmao!) 😂
Please please puh-lease give me more of these cinnamon roll heroes who aren’t afraid to show emotion, to be vulnerable, to have an insanely adorkable side to them that they’re super passionate about, and someone who’s so kind, caring and full of heart. I didn’t think it would be possible for me to love another Bergman brother more than I loved Ryder from Only When It’s Us but Ren really had me feeling all my feels, giggling like a fool, and tripping up in swoon town. “show people who you really are, and you get the absolute thrill of knowing they love you for you. * Uhm, can you tell that I loved this book? Coz I definitely loved this book.* Would it be wrong of me to leave my review as just: read this book if you want to feel all the feels, if you want an inclusive #ownvoices romance with an autistic heroine who lives with a chronic illness (rheumatoid arthritis), if you want to a super sweet cinnamon roll of a hero who lives for Shakespeare (I MEAN!!!), if you want a deliciously slow burn romance full of respect and bursting with love. Not to mention this book was just hilarious! Frankie especially had me cracking up! Her internal monologue was amazing 😂 Now, opening my heart to anyone, no matter how sweet, is the last thing I’m prepared to do. Before I got wise, I would have tripped over myself to get a guy like Ren, but with my diagnosis, I’ve learned what I am to most people in my life-a problem, not a person. I’m a grumbly grump and his ridiculously good nature drives me nuts, but even I can’t entirely ignore that hot tamale of a ginger with icy eyes, the perfect playoff beard, and a body built for sin that he’s annoyingly modest about. I’ve had a problem at work since the day Ren Bergman joined the team: a six foot three hunk of happy with a sunshine smile. I just hope that when she leaves the team and I tell her how I feel, she won’t want to leave me behind, too. Frankie won’t be here forever-she’s headed for bigger, better things. I’m a player on the team, she’s on staff, and as long as we work together, dating is off-limits. Deadpan delivery, secret heart of gold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes my knees weak, Frankie has been forbidden since the day she and I became coworkers, meaning waiting has been the name of my game-besides, hockey, that is. The moment I met her, I knew Frankie Zeferino was someone worth waiting for. Genre: Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance
