Staying Selfless: 2 (The Selfish Series)

Product Information

Except I’ve finally met my best friend’s brother. He’s tall, athletic, and the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on. He’s sex on legs and charming as hell. His reputation, though? A glaring red flag, telling me to stay away. i hope she actually listened to people’s criticisms this time about writing stories that aren’t hers to tell

I’m honestly obsessed with this book and this series as a whole. I have a feeling who the 4th book will be about (confirmed that Rio will be the 5th) and I’m stoked to keep reading about these characters. This is one of those books that I know I’ll find myself rereading time and time again! This playlist is the bomb I love it so much!! Legit flew through me and I am not apologizing thank you very much!! Elilogan are soulmates. I would do anything to have what they have. The journey of them being strangers to friends to lovers. It wasn’t an easy ride because of how they both needed healing but the way they were always there for each other 🥺

Mmm,” he hums her name, touching her face as gently as he can. “You almost got it. One day I’ll get to hear you say my name. You’ll have to make sure your daddy records it for me when you do.” He looks right at her, his icy blues boring into her, and there’s absolutely no misunderstanding when he says, “Mmm…Mama.” Miller’s face falls. “What did you say?” This was one of my most anticipated reads as Liz is a go-to author for me, but this one just didn't hit like I wanted or thought it would. This had so much potential, but there were just some moments that I couldn't agree with. Those moments are what made me give this a lower rating than what I wanted. I, however, still enjoyed it mostly. I just wanted and expected more. Kai : I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team. I’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son. I had the biggest smile plastered on my face the moment that the other couples appeared from the previous books. I ate up the moments that we got more of Ryan and Indy. I loved the moments with Rio and his humor. We do meet some new side chatacters. Monty, who is Miller's dad, I loved this man, and he deserves the world and his own happy ending in a book. We also met Isiah, who is Kai's younger brother and Kennedy, one of the teams trainers. I didn't care much for Isaiah with how he treats her. He sexually harasses her, and it's portrayed as being okay and is most definitely not. Then there is Max, who is the cutest little boy, and I adored every minute we got with him. He was a little show stealer that also stole my heart. The found family that is portrayed with not just Kai, Max and Miller but with all the previous couples, the new characters, and the entirety of the baseball team was so beautiful and I was living for it!

Eli, I don't think I will stop thinking about you for a long time baby, I am the type of person who LOVES the trope where a playboy decides to change when he is in love, but being honest there is nothing I HATE more than when that character does something incredibly idiotic and it takes almost half the book for him to admit his mistakes, so I will say THANK YOU to the author because this was never the case in this book, Eli was always the perfect boyfriend, proving that "if he wanted to he would" This duet is simply beautiful and extremely cute, so I will say thank you to Isa for telling me that I had to make it a priority on my TBR list. i’m not gonna give this book a five star despite all my rambling about how much i loved it, and the answer is pretty simple; I don’t think it deserves a five star i’m trying to be a little more critical, and not give five stars out like candy on halloween. i can’t give you an exact reason to why this wasn’t a five star for me, other than i don’t feel like it deserves a five star. it was very predictable, and the writing was very normal and not anything special. i’d say read this book if you liked the first two in the series, if not then don’t <3 And the Zanders and Ryan cameos were everything. And Isaiah and Kennedy OMFG I cannot WAIT for their book!! Liz Tomforde writes sports romance novels that depict realistic and healthy relationships. Her books offer a mix of witty banter and real-life struggles. Her heroes are alpha yet vulnerable, and her heroines are strong.Tbh I had really low expectations for this book. Mile High and The Right Move had fun characters and some cute moments but I wasn’t super impressed with the overall writing quality. Also, I really went into this thinking who tf is Kai and why should I care about this man????? El found family es una de mis cosas favoritas para leer y ver como los Maddison adoptaban prácticamente a Logan y apoyaban su relación fue muy lindo, la amistad que tienen Logan y Marc me encanta, se aman demasiado y se protegen como hermanos 😢… Eli y Marc tienen estas conversaciones donde dicen cosas como que Logan tiene ahora una familia con ellos dos ahhh <3 you just took a bite of one of those little cucumber sandwiches, looked her square in the eye, and said, ‘this is my dad.’ It was the first time you had ever called me that, and after the tea party I cried in your school’s bathroom for a solid thirty minutes.”[…]

Having a fake girlfriend wasn’t supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. Maybe he should loosen up every once in a while. He’s got a cute- ass kid and an even cuter smile when he shows it.”liz’s spice is ALWAYS hot and you will be dying for these two to finally give in and when they do!!!! Ryan : She’s a distraction, that’s what she is. I’m the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago’s NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister’s best friend, to move into my apartment. She’s messy, emotional, and way too tempting. As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I’m desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can’t create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life. Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.

There is a third act breakup, but it's not unnecessary. I say that because we know it's coming. The premise around it was known throughout between both Kai and Miller. The last 20% of this hit so hard, but I loved it so much. I felt the emotions and heartbreak that they were both going through so deeply, making me a crying mess on multiple occasions. On a final note, I wish that we were getting Rio's book next, but we're getting Isaiah and Kennedy's, and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.Caught Up" is an amazing follow up and instalment to the "Windy City Series" and I am here for all of it!! With my senior season winding down, it's my last chance to get called up to the NHL, and my dreams are within reach—it's everything I always wanted. But that was before I met her. How much do I need to sacrifice to prove to her that she's my dream too?
