okay please the chestnut springs men can GET IT šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø first I thought rhett would be a new book boyfriend, and then there was daddy cade (say less), and now sweet and caring jasper??? like are we kidding???

this was easily my favorite of the series so far - and it was mostly due to the fact that we got healthy dancer rep! Iā€™m super sick and tired of seeing unhealthy ballerina stereotypes and incorrect representation of life as a professional dancer (as one myself) šŸ„°šŸ„°

(except for the scenes where she was given the half season off to plan a wedding and could just get hired back for the next season like it was no biggie LOL)

but what I loved the best was how well sloane and jasper just knew each other!! from rubbing feet after performances on pointe, to sitting BEHIND the goal instead of being in a box far away, I was squealing the entire time!! 

I just love watching two people overcome their own insecurities together and tear down everyone holding them back šŸ„¹šŸ„¹

thank you to netgalley and bloom for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!! read this series!!!!

rating: an easy 5 stars!!!!
wine pairing: niagara on the lake cabernet franc
