This was perfectly done for a rival to lover romance, it had that element that I was wanting from the first page and enjoyed the overall journey in this. The concept was so well written and had that sports concept and blended well together. The characters were so well written and I cared about what was going on with their romance and how it worked in this. Kim Stephenson was able to create everything that worked and what I was hoping for, it was a strong sequel in the Running for the Romance series and glad I read this.

Beautifully written and very timely. While this deals with the Summer Olympics, it is still the perfect time to combine our love of Olympics and gay athletes in this Heated Rivalry, enemies to lovers era. Kim Stephenson has produced a beautiful love story that will be sure to capture the gay booktok girlies! We love to see it.

This was a super super cute book! There were so many troupes that I loved that were in this one, but honestly, I have to give such a big shoutout to the ending.

I am going to tiptoe around spoilers, so maybe don't read beyond this if you haven't read the book. I am obsessed with the outcome of the Olympics. I don't think I had ever read a romance book where the sports event ended in this way. However, there was so much character growth between these two and I love how much that is highlighted and celebrated at the end, and I appreciated that so so much.
