Always Only You

Ren and Frankie are some big nerds in love, and I love them for it!

I don't read many slow burns as they exasperate me to no end, but you say hockey romance and I'll come running. It worked out pretty well in the end, I found myself rooting sooo hard for Ren and Frankie through all my face-palming and affectionate eye rolling.

These two have such strong, wildly opposite personalities, that it was surprising how nicely they came together and complement each other. I loved Ren! At first, I thought he would be a bit of a white knight (which kind of but not really lol) but he never once treated Frankie like she wasn't capable and did his best to not overstep her boundaries which was really nice to see. My favorite scenes are where Frankie and Red get more comfortable with each other and let themselves love and be loved.

Frankie is a great character as well. She's so focused on her job and showcasing the best of her team with her social media manager job. It was really fun to see her interact with the team like she was one of them and the team return that friendship.

Minor characters to note: Rob and Lorena are my favorites especially Lorena for the absolute tough love bomb she dropped towards the end of the book. I loved that show friendship, of how much she loves Frankie and wanted her to embrace to chance at good love.

Overall, Always Only You is a sweet, nerdy, authentic love story that I am happy to have read, slow burn n all
