I was sold on a book about Danny and Catie from the get-go. Finding out it has a fake relationship? And they are SNOWED IN together when they decide on it? Followed by not being able to unsee how sexy they find each other? It's magic.
I really liked the balance of personal development alongside the romance. For Danny, it's finding his place in life - while successful, he still has his struggles/doubts, and for Catie, it's in being able to trust and believe in a relationship when one is possible. Especially with her beloved nemesis! They have some advantage in that they've known each other for so long, certain things are easy for them, but building a romantic relationship is all new.
The book gave me such a satisfying, warm feeling with their romance. It's a great contemporary romance of two people who realize they could fall for each other and take the steps forward at their own pace. I loved the glimpses and updates of the Bishop-Esera family. Now I have to go reread all of their stories. The Hard Play series has been a favourite for me, especially Rock Hard, and I'm so glad that we got the final brother's story and it was truly an engaging joy to read.
