Impressions: This was a fun, tropey, escape for a long weekend. I like the large cast of supporting characters, and I am looking forward to hearing some of their stories.
Isiah was a likable character. Though I can imagine there would be a lot of complications with being an out, married, NFL player, this book focuses much more on the love and developing relationship between Isaiah and Victor.
I really enjoyed Victor. He is loud, brash, and yet vulnerable. I really wanted the HEA for Victor more than anyone else.
This is a fun forced-to-marry romance, and I think you will enjoy it as much as I did!
