"This series is great! And every one gets spicier I swear!! I really really liked this book Jasper and Sloane are so cute and I love a good friends to lovers romance. There is tension, angst, spice, family drama. Part small town romance and part sports romance an incredible combination in my books! This series is an A ++ for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶🌶🌶/5 "

"another best friends to lovers novel! it was so sweet and once again I think a representation of a healthy relationship. Jasper is WHEW spicy again! this one had some good tension and emotion it was lovely - it wasn’t as memorable as the first two but that might just be because it was a bit slower and sweeter"

"Ok, so this book is harder for me to review because I am having a hard time deciding between four and five stars. But, ultimately, I had to give Jasper and Sloane 5 stars because I love them and I really loved the ending of this book as well as the bonus epilogue. I think Sloane is relatable and so strong and I think Jasper brought a special kind of tenderness and protection that Sloane needed, but also I think Sloane gave the same back to Jasper who definitely needed it. I love childhood friends to lovers and I am not sure what I needed more of though, maybe just like more content? But, it’s great to see all of the cameos and I feel like Harvey was the MVP in this story. Also, a ballerina and a hockey player together is kind of a cool combination. So, overall, I did like this book, but it is just not my favorite of the series, but this series is amazing. I can’t wait to read the next one!"

"This book was a letdown! Friends to lovers is usually my favorite trope, but their connection was just not it. The book didn’t need to be as long as it was, it was so slow and became super repetitive and cringy. Buddyz Beer, the tattoo he got for her that she keeps touching, her ballet feet, etc. When the switch finally got flipped from friends to lovers, I didn’t like how Jasper treated her. Gave me the ick! Skimmed the last few chapters, almost DNF’d so many times if it weren’t for the side characters. Hoping the next book is better, because unfortunately these books just keep getting worse for me. Flawless is still my fav of the 3."

"I’m not a fan of hockey romance. I read this to keep in line with the series. This was okay. Not my favorite. It got repetitive towards the end. But I enjoyed it as an easy read. Nothing stood out to me to make me love this book though. "

"I love this book so much every page was better than the last and I was hooked from the beginning I loved the relationships and the way it was written was easy to follow along and I truly enjoyed reading this book. "

"4.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Childhood friends to lovers, an MMC with a tortured past, and an FMC who has been loving him in the background for years. She’s from the city and comes from money; he’s from the country and built his life from the bottom up. This NHL hockey star and prima ballerina have been friends since they were kids and share a secret from his past that binds them together. She’s always loved him and never thought he would feel the same… until one day he does.
Chesnut Springs is a place you’ll want to visit in your mind and stay for awhile. 🫶🏻🤠"

"Honestly it was so mediocre compared to the first 2 books. I was so unhappy about a friends to lovers trope because I find them lazy. I couldn’t even finish the last 200 pages I just skimmed them and the ending was so not interesting that I read it and understood everything. If you enjoy friends to lovers you will love this book but oml I got so annoyed."
Madelyn Sargent
"Very cute friends to lovers romance. I liked the change in pace with Jasper being a hockey man. I did think the story was a bit slow compared to the first 2 of the series….BUT it was still a good read and I will be reading the rest of the series! "
