This was exactly what I expected from a Mariana Zapata book. I liked it. Aiden really isn't the type of man I'm interested in, but Vanessa was fun to read about. It's the same sort of slow burn romance I've come to expect. And this book is probably one of the more realistic "fake dating" tropes I've read. I'm not too big on sports, but I actually thought this one could have used more about the sports - the other Zapata books I've read involved both characters playing the same sport as the love interest, which added to the hate/rivalry/competitive fuel at the beginning. This one still had a little animosity at the beginning, but it wasn't the same. Also there's some stuff in both of these character's pasts that is a bit of a bummer. Not that you can't have real things in romance books, but it did bring the party down at times. Still enjoyed it overall though.
