 Here's the thing I'm always a big fan of friends to lovers but sadly with this theme it's becoming quite predictable. With this book it's another friends to lover book filled with a bunch of miscommunications and assumptions to fill up the angst quota for this couple. Thankfully they get their shit together by the 60% mark otherwise I was going to be a bit disappointed. Then after this point they start to have some actual drama instead of just being about miscommunications and assumptions which gets to tiresome in books at times. 
 We first meet Gray Grayson in the first book of this series The Hook Up! He's the outgoing, fun loving glue of their football team. Plus he's the up and comer that will have the world at this feet with the NFL. He's also a 'player' because that's way easier than losing his heart. 
 To help out his best friend Drew he lends him his truck and ends up borrowing a pink car that belongs to his potential manager's daughter, Ivy. With this car sparks a quick witty text relationship with Ivy Mac. This banter quickly morphs into a budding friendship. A friendship that they both hold near and dear to them. 
 So when they get to finally meet they both try really hard to maintain the friends only relationship, but that doesn't mean they both aren't attracted to one another. 
 "Seriously, Iv ... You could climb him like Everest, make base camp at this cock, and tackle the rest in the morning." 
 Now here is the part where they are just friends but are both fighting the mutual attraction. While they both assume, assume assume which causes miscommunication after miscommunication which leads to some unnecessary heartache. 
 "We're already in a relationship, Ivy." My voice bounces over the walls, turning heads, drawing stares. I put my back between the room and Ivy. "And it's the most important one of my life." 
 Throughout this book, I loved the witty banter between these two. It's what hooks you in with this duo. Now when they finally give in to their attraction then boom, it unleashes tons of chemistry and loads of sweetness. 
 I have to admit that Gray Gray is near and dear to my heart and will be making an appearance on one of my book boyfriend Mondays. 
 "You have me," he says against my lips. "I don't think you understand how much you have me." 
 "I'm crazy about you, Ivy. You have to know that. I'm so lost in you, I don't ever want to find my way back." 
 "I'm not letting you go, Ivy Mac. In case I wasn't clear before." 
 Once Ivy and Gray give in to their feelings they go from friends to lovers quickly while their emotional bond escalates as quick, which happens when you're best friends first. 
 "I couldn't ... I wasn't strong enough. But you were. You're the best of us, Gray." 
 Even though at times the storyline was predictable for this theme, it was still sweet and endearing because of Ivy and Gray themselves. I do like this series and I can't wait for more from this football team. 
 "The fact is Ivy, for me, there is one absolute truth. The sum of my existence equals you."
