This was a fun grumpy/sunshine, dual POV, Sapphic sports romance between the veteren and the rookie on a professional women's soccer team. Set in New Orleans, I really enjoyed all the stops around the city and getting immersed in the world of soccer (PSA there is a lot of technical soccer talk sprinkled throughout the book but I didn't mind it personally).

While this book had some good open door spice, I felt like the characters often chose to ignore important conversations by having sex instead. Also, on the one hand it's amazing that both the MCs seem to be neurodiverse. Phoebe is undiagnosed with ADHD and this doesn't come up until near the very end of the book and Grace is CLEARY autistic and this isn't specifically stated at all in the book, which really bothered me.

Otherwise, I liked the story and would recommend for fans of books like Everything for you by Chloe Liese or The long game by Elena Armas. Many thanks to NetGalley and SMPRomance for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review! I also read this a second time on audio and enjoyed the narration by Dana Varden and Zim Avaltrades (two new to me voice actors).
