I am a C L Rose STAN from the very beginning. I have read her work from the very beginning. I remember when I saw her first posts on IG and I was hooked from then on. 

She brought the Boston Blizzards to us in a HUGE way!! I loved the Boston Blizzards sooo freaking much and I was sooo sad to see them go! But we got our first glimpse of Riggs and Monroe in the final book. Riggs is a professional baseball player for the Daytona Fury and Monroe is Riggs' little sister Grace's best friend. 

I absolutely loved how much animosity Riggs and Monroe had between them because I knew it would only bring out the best in them!! And boy did it!! It brought out so much in them that they didn't know that they could be the best for each other. What they thought they couldn't find in others they found in each other. 

When she was having a rough day, he could calm her in only the ways that he knew she could cope with. When he needed to chill out she could chill him in her way. It was the perfect yin yang balance. I loved that they could be that for each other when they had been searching for it in others. 

Y'all I loved for these two in every aspect. They had so much going for them individually and together. It began as a mutual I help you, you help me. But it quickly became so much more. I loved that Monroe didn't want anything from Riggs, but to help him boost his reputation. Riggs knew he needed help but he also knew that Monroe needed help as well, why not have the best of both worlds. 

Monroe was the feisty queen FMC that we needed. She was so strong for being through all that she had been through. I give her major props. It takes so much to be the queen she is and will always be. She fought her way to where she wanted to be and refused to take no for an answer. She gave us the best banter with Riggs and I loved and laughed so hard throughout this book. 

Riggs... Oh Man Oh Man. He literally was everything for me. His demeanor when he was with Monroe was EVERYTHING. His possessiveness was the perfect amount. It wasn't overbearing, but the right amount to get the right reaction. From her and me, who are we kidding. This man made so many reactions from the both of us!! He was the perfect kind of primal that you need even when you don't think you would like it. You think really? People are into this? Then you read the scene and you're like, oh I see why now. Especially if you are up close and personal to that hot body, it would be hard not to enjoy that good time. He was also so aware of her needs. He made sure to be anticipating of what she needed.

This book does include:

❤️ Praise 
❣️ PCOS Representation 
🩸 Period Play
❤️ Beach Scene
❣️ Ballfield Dugout Scene
❤️Primal Play
❣️ Possessive MMC



This is one of the hottest set of scenes that C.L. has written. I cannot even begin to describe how well written and tasteful they are. When you see period play it isn't what you think. It is written in such a tasteful way that you never would have thought. I am so appreciative of how well she handled the scene and the representation behind everything. Not everyone would represent PCOS much less tackle how to deal with heavy cramping but she did it. And did it sooo well. I give her a major round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! 

Thank you to CL Rose for allowing me to read this masterpiece as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts, opinions and review!
