“I’m gonna make it a season worth writing about.”
“Mmm, there’s gotta be something dirty I can dig up on you.”
“That’s my girl.”

Funny, cute, and spicy sports romance featuring a minotaur and other mythical / magical creatures.

I enjoyed the relationship development and chemistry between the main characters, Cassie and Elliott. I liked how their families and family drama were also part of the story.

The plot itself started great, but towards the end, in my opinion, there was too much going on and too many storylines for a book this short. Some of the conflicts felt rushed and wrapped up too quickly for my liking. I’m also not a fan of the miscommunication trope.

Overall, I enjoy Lizzie’s writing style and her ability to bring humor to her books.


I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
