I was super intrigued when I read the premise of this book because it featured a shy spicy book reader library worker and the captain of the basketball team, and I live for opposites attract stories that give me hints of romance books I adore, so I requested it immediately. 🙌

The book started off strong and I was hooked. The first encounter between the main characters happened in the library, where he teased her for reading a mafia romance with a naked man on the cover. I loved their chemistry and their steamy kiss. 🔥

However, things went downhill from there for me. 😢 The characters had a third act breakup before they even got together properly, and I didn’t feel any deep connection between them. I reached 70% of the book and they were still barely talking to each other, let alone being romantic or spicy. I was really frustrated by this and I lost interest in their story. 😠

I was really hoping to love this book, but I DNFed it at 70%. It just wasn’t for me, but maybe other readers will enjoy it more
