when i tell you this man is so fine. so scrumdiddlyumptious. one of the best, genuine heroes ive read in such a long time. get you a man like ryan who builds a bookshelf like he did for her right beside his own because it looks more organized and cute in that way🥺 Nevertheless, our arrangement does not favour one party over the other. My entire group of childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be attending a wedding in the near future, and there is no one more appropriate for me to bring as a date than my exes hero. Rio and Indy’s friendship means everything to me. I love this boy and I just want to hold him and protect him even though I know he is a grown man three times my size and plays for the NHL. I don’t care lmao he is my little boy and I will protect him at all costs.

Because you’re supposed to say you like me natural or something to that extent. That’s the typical opinion of the male species.” There is only one catch, and that is the fact that being false can come out as being too realistic. Ryan pampered Indy in the greatest way imaginable by teaching her the importance of putting herself first and demonstrating his belief in her. Indy knows Ryan for the man he is, not just the NBA star about whom so many people are curious. Absolutely loved the dynamics and friendships in the book! And witnessing how Rayan tried to be a better captain; working on his trust issues and the recluse persona he painted himself with years ago. It was tightly related to the sequelae that came with his previous dating life. Funny ‘cause at the begging Indigo was as convinced as him that she would never fall in love again. That was so ironic because the two of them thought they were so different as one a ray of sunshine with a tendency to be messy and the other a permanent grumpy maniac. Yet, they were dealing with the same issues and it was one of the major parts that made them a perfect match, meant to be. Both understood the traumas and bagages that came with their pasts, and never judged them for it.I loved that they weren’t toxic, there was no dramatic 3 act breakup the way it’s usually done because he loved her so much he wouldn’t even let her think too long whether she wanted to be with him or not.

The tropes in this book are actually top tier nothing beats it: roommates, fake dating, best friend’s brother, and sport romance. Sorry but like ?? What can possibly top all of those tropes at once. get you a man who learns ASL like ryan just so he can talk to her dad because according to him her family=his family🥺 Starts learning sign language after talking to her parents once! Her dad is deaf and I literally swoon so hard over this! Tears stream down my face from the overwhelming knowledge that I’ve gone twenty-seven years without being loved the way Ryan Shay loves me. And now I have the privilege to be loved so selflessly, so attentively.

Ryan Shay is the ultimate book boyfriend!! Like where the eff is he at in real life?! 👀 point me in his direction. Thank you kindly 🙏 The little attentions, the awareness of every single shifts in the mood, learning about each other and building a tight friendship based on trust and a mutual respect and being reconnaissent and grateful for earning it just put the growing romance to an other level.😭 But little by little they are getting closer and more and more comfortable where the lines between fake dating and genuine feelings are blurring. Both begin to bring out the best in each other and help each other to heal. It’s sexy, it’s fun, there’s all that excitement that we love. It gets you into all your feelings. It’s a damn good book! It’s hot as hell! Did I mention that? Ryan and his dirty mouth from him! 🥵 I’ll tell you the top 5 of 2023! 👨‍🍳💋 But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. fake dating situationship on a steamy delicious platter that I did not want to put down!! I kid you not when I say I was giggling , smiling and gripping my kindle for dear life due to the TENSION! The banter was just A+ material and don’t even get me started on the jealousy, soooo good!!! But the vulnerable moments that you get between Indy and Ryan had me moved to waterfall tears!!

CAN SOMEONE BRING ME A GUN????!! I don’t think I have the strength to continue on after this life-altering series. I cried myself to sleep the night I finished, and cried again when I woke up because of this book. Ever since I’ve finished it’s felt like there’s a tiny hole in my chest and I don’t know if it’s because I’m happy or sad that this book/series happened. gen/Stevie - got more annoying?? Someone tell Stevie to grow up and act like it instead of playing matchmaker...sorry 🤦‍♀️
