this entire series is my guilty pleasure, and every time I finish, I wonder why I waited so long to read the next in the installment 😭 sports romance is THAT girl I swear
focusing on brenna, the daughter of briar’s hockey coach, and jake connolly, the captain of their rival school harvard, I immediately was all in 😮💨 there’s something about a forbidden romance mixed with enemies to lovers that is an automatic win for me!!!
I fell in love with brenna from THE CHASE, and I’m so happy she was able to get her own HEA 🥲 she deserves the world!! and delving deeper into her relationship with her dad and her own checkered past was just the growth I needed to see from her
and jake, woo boy, he’s the perfect supportive boyfriend! we stan MCs who aren’t toxic masculine and put their significant others on a damn pedestal 👏🏼👏🏼 as they should!!!! I just loved watching the two of them grow together pls
what I didn’t love was their ability to forgive and forget - which I get it, but come on, you’re just gonna let people back in your life that legitimately express they want to cause you harm? no thanks
BUT! I would read an entire series just about the two of them and their future, they were THAT couple 🥹
