Debut author Graziadei clearly knows the sport, but even readers who don't will enjoy a tale that's more than just enemies-to-lovers. On paper, Mickey's the consummate insider, whereas Cauler is Black in a largely white sport, has already sustained a career-threatening injury, and, Mickey's starting to think, might be gay. Even so, Mickey can't help noticing how attractive Jaysen "Cauler" Caulfield, his teammate and prickly rival for first pick, is.

Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. ![]() In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.

I knew going into this and from the author’s foreward that this wouldn’t be a light read. Xander is the fire and I’m the gasoline waiting to burn. And dare I say, I think this may have been my favorite book in the series so far! I’ve been waiting for this book since being introduced to Kim and Xander in the beginning of the series.

If you had to repeat one day, would you be happy with how you set yourself up or how will you deal seemingly unchangeable present or apparently unreachable goals? You try anyway.
